We are thrilled to announce that Bekaar Street has been officially enrolled in the prestigious Microsoft Startup Founders Hub. This is a significant milestone in our journey to empower rural Indian artists, promote traditional handicrafts, and create a transparent marketplace for culturally rich, eco-friendly products.

What This Means for Bekaar Street

As part of the Microsoft Startup Founders Hub, Bekaar Street will gain access to a host of resources that will fuel our growth and innovation. This includes:

How It Aligns with Our Mission

At Bekaar Street, our mission has always been clear: to bridge the gap between local artists and a global marketplace, ensuring that India’s cultural heritage and handicrafts get the recognition and fair compensation they deserve. Joining the Microsoft Startup Founders Hub aligns with this mission, as it allows us to harness the power of technology to better serve our artists and customers.

This partnership marks the beginning of a new phase of innovation and expansion for Bekaar Street.

We aim to:

• Enhance the user experience for both our artists and customers by integrating advanced technology solutions.
• Increase our reach, allowing more rural artists to showcase their unique, GI-tagged, and eco-friendly crafts to a global audience.

We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead as we continue our journey with Microsoft by our side. Together, we believe we can drive meaningful change in the Indian handicraft industry and bring the stories of our talented artists to the forefront of global appreciation.
