Founder, Fanusta

Fanusta means ‘master of art’. The word is derived from ‘fan’ an Arabic word meaning art, and ‘usta’ a Turkish word, which means master. With an aim to open doors of opportunity and exposure for all the master artists and craftsmen of India on a global stage, the brand set its foot in the industry a year ago. Blue pottery from Jaipur, wood art, marble sculptures from Kishangarh, Udaipur and Jodhpur, metal inlay and brass engraving from Moradabad, glassware from Aligarh, Madhubani from Bihar and dhokra from Eastern India are some artistries that you could find under the brands vast umbrella. Sharing a little more about his brand’s motto, founder Shalinder Kumar says, “Handmade and hand-craft is the ultimate luxury, which brings-in the one-of-a-kind product in this world of mass produced and similar looking lifestyle products. Our goal is to redefine the lost identity of Indian handicrafts with modern aesthetics and innovation.”
