Meet Vinod, a founding member of our team and a true artist in shaping iron into stunning tribal patterns. His unique craftsmanship has been the cornerstone of many remarkable tribal designs featured in the Chinhhari Arts collection, several of which have become our bestsellers. Despite the 300 km distance between Raipur and Kondagaon, our collaboration thrives through seamless coordination and shared vision. Vinod's dedication ensures that every piece he creates aligns perfectly with our standards, transforming raw materials into exquisite home décor. His work exemplifies the spirit of teamwork and the artistry that defines Chinhhari Arts.

Meet Sunil, a skilled artisan who has inherited the rich heritage of Pitwa Kala from his father, Tati Ram Vishwakarma, an award-winning master craftsman. Hailing from Kidi Chepda village, just 5 km from Kondagaon, Sunil and his family have been proudly associated with Chinhhari Arts for over a decade. As part of the Vishwakarma community, Sunil’s family has faced significant struggles to establish their identity as master craftsmen while continuing to live a modest tribal lifestyle. Visitors, including foreign guests and officials, are often drawn to their home, captivated by their craft, hospitality, and the beauty of their sustainable way of life. Sunil’s dedication to preserving his heritage and his commitment to Pitwa Kala make him a cornerstone of this timeless art form.

Meet Khilesh, a highly skilled and experienced member of our team whose craftsmanship consistently exceeds expectations. With every product design brief we share, Khilesh transforms it into something truly extraordinary, showcasing his vibrant creativity and unwavering focus on quality. His enthusiasm for new projects is infectious, often doubling the team's energy and motivation. Since joining us, Khilesh has continuously honed his skills, taking initiative and delivering excellence without ever needing a nudge. His passion and dedication make him an invaluable part of our journey.

Meet Jai Prakash, a talented and enthusiastic member of our team who brings a perfect mix of skill and charm to the table. A fast learner, it took Jai only two months to become a pro in his craft after joining us two years ago. Working closely with his mentor, Khilesh, Jai not only contributes to creating exceptional products but also handles shipping and product management with ease. Beyond his craftsmanship, Jai's curiosity drives him to explore foreign carpentry techniques, and his unique dancing style keeps the team entertained. A favorite among our five furry companions, Jai wins their hearts by serving them food daily, making him a beloved member of both the team and our extended family.

Meet Ganesh Das, a master artisan whose exceptional wooden carvings caught our attention at a handicraft exhibition. His work beautifully captures the essence of Bastar's traditional lifestyle, weaving stories of life in the forest onto even the smallest wooden slabs. While many of us associate wooden carvings with furniture, Ganesh's creations transcend functionality, offering a glimpse into a rich cultural heritage. We take immense pride in showcasing his artistry in our home décor collection, allowing these timeless stories to find a place in your homes as well. Deeply devoted to preserving this craft, Ganesh not only works tirelessly on various projects but also mentors the younger generation, passing on his expertise and passion. Coming from a lineage of traditional artists, he carries forward his family's legacy, ensuring the designs and their meanings remain vibrant and alive for years to come.

Meet Varsha, the youngest and most spirited member of the team, who thrives in the midst of lively gossip, spirited debates, and everyday chaos. Her exceptional talent for painting, however, is what truly sets her apart. Alongside her colleague Madhu, Varsha undertakes a remarkable 17-kilometer journey to work each day, often on a bicycle. Their unwavering passion and dedication, carried out without a single complaint, stand as a powerful inspiration to everyone around them.

Madhu, a powerhouse of dedication and creativity, brings a meticulous touch to every task she undertakes. Known for her quick adaptability and openness to feedback, she ensures that no detail is ever overlooked. With timelines as her guiding principle, Madhu’s work ethic is as inspiring as her warm, infectious energy. Alongside her colleague Varsha, she embarks on an impressive 17-kilometer journey to work every day, often pedaling her way with unmatched determination. Together, they exemplify passion and perseverance, setting a high bar for the entire team.

She is our social media manager, content developer and product designer. Nisha has a great understanding, insight and knowledge about handicraft and handicraft market. She shows immense interest in working with new designs, challenges and handicrafts. She is our ‘ALL IN ONE’, Super women.

He takes care of daily orders, updates and paperwork. In his free time (if he has any), you will find him roaming around in puzzled state or picking fights with Varsha. Their all time favorite debate is who is younger.  He is also our screenshot guy, he takes screenshots and share rather than trying to explain things in words, which has actually made our internal process a lot more efficient. Pramila, varsha and JP work as team in Order dispatch department.

He is our go to guy. He knows carpentry; he handles all outside work, including sourcing of raw material and hardware. He knows his ways around machines and can fix a lot issues in house. He also fill in whenever more hands are required in shipping orders.  He ensures that work keeps going on, efficiently. He is our “Ai haao” guy, which loosely translates to ‘of course yes’'. Also, he has introduced us to a whole new world of Punjabi music, all thanks to him; we are always updated on new songs.

A nomadic soul, who found home in Chinhhari. Even after all this years, everyday with my team is wonderful, amazing, soulful and enlightened.  While, working with our tribal artisans I learnt sustainable way of living life, with pure love and care. They taught me, work life balance. When they work, they put 100% and when it comes spending time with family and loved ones, in good and bad times, they do that with full dedication as well.  Nothing is done half heartedly.
