Since the Covid-19 has drastically changed the economic dimensions, the operational activities are getting severely affected by its spread. And when it comes to local artisans, the situation is even worse.
Unemployment, a failing economy, less spending, and lockdown have severely affected these local artisans’ lives. Such hardship has also caused the cut down in daily expenses that are meant to satisfy the basic necessities of their life.
There is an alarming need for visibility and appreciation of the local art to preserve the rich heritage and culture of our Indian jewel. The covid-19 lockdown has created a huge pile of unsold inventory of these local artisans. Most of the people are unaware about their work and efforts; they randomly go and visit a nearby brand store.
Where is the appreciation for local artisans? Specifically, nowhere! But here is the best effort done by the Zurooh that has decided to come up with an online platform to raise the unheard voices and efforts of these local artisans. It is a vocal platform for all the local and small jewellery manufacturers units that haven’t gotten any appreciation yet.
Zurooh is an exclusive fashion jewellery platform that entirely focuses on local art associated with rich Indian culture and heritage. It invites small manufactures and artisans to join this venture and showcase their unique and exquisite jewellery designs. Zurooh sells the handcrafted local jewellery, which includes beautiful accessories like fashion jewellery earrings, rings, necklace sets, bracelets, bangles, etc. These minimalistic and yet bold jewellery designs will make you fall in love with the local Indian art.
Zurooh offers you varied jewellery designs suitable for different outfits and festivals from pearl embedded necklaces to glimmer earrings and everything in between. Through this platform, small local artists can now express their emotions and specific traditional manufacturing styles to further make varieties of ornament designs.
Development of local artisans
Local Indian jewellery is famous worldwide for its elegance and traditional designs. Earlier, local artisans used to sell the handcrafted jewellery via retailers. By this triangle communication, the identity of these local artisans remains hidden. The rapid digitalization has helped the local artisans receive appreciation and appraisal for their hard work.

Zurooh is one such platform that allows local Indian artisans to directly communicate with target customers for selling their handcrafted pieces that are made with labour love. This, in turn, helps them grow and develop communication and marketing skills to sell a product. The brand helps local artisans acquire great leadership skills to influence potential customers to make an instant purchase of their manufactured product.
Situation prior to the lockdown
Prior to the economic spin, local artisans produced jewellery pieces and ornaments in bulk so that they can sell off to potential retailers. But the lockdown has changed everything, the production has become to a standstill, and hence it becomes very challenging for them to sell the existing manufactured jewellery pieces.
