Gorakshdham Zari Artisan Handicraftproducer Company Limited

Our company is called Gorakshdham Zari Artisan Handicraftproducer Company Limited. It is quite a long name, but it describes what we are doing here. We are based in Surajkund Colony, at B-59, in the Gorakhnath area of Gorakhpur. Most of us working here are involved in the zari and handicraft work that this part of Uttar Pradesh has always been known for. We formed this company to bring the local artisans together so we could work better. It is not just a business for us; it is a group of people working on the same craft every day. The colony is a residential spot, so it is usually pretty calm outside. Inside our workspace, you will see people sitting and working with gold and silver threads on frames. It is very detailed work and it takes a lot of patience and good eyesight. We do not have a marketing team or people to do sales. We just focus on making the items and trying to find places to sell them. The 273015 area is where we all live and have our roots. Sometimes it is a bit of a struggle to manage the business side because we are mostly craftspeople by trade. We have to learn about things like taxes and government rules as we go along. It is a lot of effort, but seeing a finished piece of zari work makes us feel good about what we do.
