About eSaras Portal

eSaras is an initiative under the Foundation for Development of Rural Value Chains (FDRVC) — a digital e-commerce platform designed to connect rural artisans, self-help groups (SHGs), and cooperatives directly with buyers across India and beyond.

The portal serves as a marketplace for authentic, handcrafted products that reflect India's rich cultural heritage. From traditional textiles and pottery to intricate woodwork and tribal jewelry, eSaras brings the finest handicrafts from rural India to your doorstep.

Our Mission

  • Empower Rural Artisans — Provide a digital storefront for skilled craftspeople who lack market access
  • Preserve Heritage Crafts — Support traditional art forms and techniques passed through generations
  • Fair & Transparent Trade — Ensure maximum earnings reach the artisans directly
  • Sustainable Livelihoods — Create lasting economic opportunities for rural communities and women-led SHGs

What Makes eSaras Unique

Unlike conventional e-commerce platforms, eSaras is built with a social mission at its core. Every product listed on the platform is verified for authenticity, sourced directly from artisan clusters across 28+ states of India. The portal supports over 5,000 artisans and 500+ self-help groups, making it one of the largest digital initiatives for rural handicraft promotion.
