Peruvian (Peru) Handicrafts are One of the Best in the World like Indian Handicraft : World Handicraft Outlook

Peruvian artisanry ranks possibly amongst the most varied arts and crafts found on Earth. Proof of this stems from the growing network of exporters who each year exhibit the creativity of Peruvian artists on markets in Europe, Asia and North America. The diversity, color, creativity and multiple uses of Peruvian craftwork make it a fundamental activity not just to forge Peru’s identity, but also ensure the survival of thousands of families, and even entire communities such as Sarhua and Quinua in  Ayacucho . These small works of folk art that have sparked the admiration of all and are the legacy of centuries of history imbued with pre-Hispanic forms and symbols, that blending with or surviving alongside other art forms brought over by the Spaniards.

“Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong,” said Gyanendra Kalita, who manages the Guwahati branch of the Assam government’s flagship Pragjyotika Emporium, a chain of handicrafts retail outlets. He was referring to the impact of the Goods and Services Tax on the emporium’s business. Introduced on July 1, the new tax incorporates all levies previously charged by the Centre and states on businesses.

The Fly Wheel effect in Business

First time i have heard about it while i was watching a video regarding how Amazon works & the concept really touched me. I thought it is the way modern business should work considering all the uncertainity looming large all around the world. go through it, you will find it very useful. What is it? “The Flywheel” is a very useful analogy for implementing business strategy created by Jim Collins. It describes how driving a new strategy is like getting a huge flywheel into motion. Initially, there is no movement – many people think that the strategy is absurd – it is almost impossible to imagine the flywheel at speed. With great exertion of will, the CEO is able to deliver some results that get the flywheel moving. They appear small and trivial initially, but create the credibility to move to more ambitious results. As more and more results accumulate, more and more people throw their weight behind the wheel and the momentum of the flywheel builds and builds. THE FLYWHEEL CON

All the great brands in the world like Coca-Cola, Adidas, Facebook, GOOGLE, have always one thing in common i.e. People trusts on them. We thought at that time to create that trust no matter what once someone knows about us or buys any item from us. Once they trust you they start to like you & slowly they start to love you. So as mentioned in the previous part we took some hard & creative decisions. These are the following Steps how we have created this Brand " INDIACRAFTS " 1) Choose the Right & Non-Branded Product 2) Choose a Familiar Name for your brand & it should be an exclusive one. * 3) Your product should be in the need Catagory not in the Luxury Catagory 4) If you are choosing some product in the Luxury then also make sure to add a need category product 5) Also, register the product in the National & International Marketplaces. 6) Don't just deliver the product, deliver experience with a story 7) Continuously
