What it does
The product, in plain language.
Connects rural artisan cooperatives to international buyers via a curated marketplace. Handles photography, listing translation, logistics coordination, and payment routing. Most artisans don't speak English; the platform does the work in between.
How I built it
The story so far.
Started as a side project in 2019 to give NextBangla's video team something meaningful to point cameras at. Grew into its own venture once we realized the artisans had product-market fit; what they lacked was distribution.
Where we are now
Today's state, with numbers where I have them.
200+ active artisan partners. Buyers across the US, UK, and EU. Platform handles the unglamorous work — translation, logistics, payment — so the artisans focus on craft.

What's next
Roadmap.
AI-assisted product photography and listing generation. Most artisans can't afford a photographer; we're building tooling that makes a phone photo look catalog-grade.
