Rangsutra x IKEA :: Since 2014
Rangsutra's decade old partnership with IKEA has helped us organize and formalize informal ways of working.
"There is no better route out of poverty than the opportunity for people to have a decent job. At IKEA, it’s a privilege to be able to work with social enterprises such as Rangsutra that are helping make society a little bit fairer. Through the partnership, IKEA gets the chance to work with skilled artisans in the Indian handicraft tradition and to contribute to social change - tackle the social and environmental challenges facing people and communities where we work, offer affordable, handmade design to the many people, support partners to become compliant with global standards, utilize the artisans' craft knowledge."

Rangsutra x C&A :: May 2024
Rangsutra partnered with C&A to create a modern collection of one-of-a-kind hand-embroidered pieces, blending traditional Indian crafts with contemporary design.
"With the Rangsutra x C&A collection, traditional meets contemporary design. We are always looking for suppliers who work with women and it made sense to partner with Rangsutra who focuses on women's empowerment and creates opportunities for growth - working with rural women and turning them into shareholders of the enterprise who have a say in the supply chain. With our collaboration with Rangsutra, C&A remains committed to being a leader in supply chain innovation."
