Handikrafts
Sourcing is the brainchild of Mrs. Kalpana P. Heblekar. . She started
the organization in the year 1995, under Small Scale Industries to
manufacture and supply a wide range of Indian handcrafted products.
After persuing her BCom degree in Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher
Learning Anantapur has done her M.Ed in Education and has also worked
as a Banker in the Shamrao Vithal Co-Operative Bank in Mumbai.
Besides, she has completed her CAIIB and Diploma in Fine Arts from JJ
Arts School. Later on, she started teaching creative art to other
women and giving them the hope of being independent in their own
ways. Just to prove that age is not a barier for further studies she
completed executive MBA from ISB further persuing her Doctrate in
Women Health and Empowerment.Eventually, she started to market and
showcase the products made by these women in the national as well as
overseas market. She has travelled all over the world and have
participated in various international exhibitions solely for the
purpose of exposing these products. He has
developed 22 cluster groups from Varanasi in North India to down
South.
Further,
to contribute towards minimizing global warming, Mrs. Heblekar has
designed many beautiful Recycled Paper Products, Jute Products,
Terracotta Products and Recycled Handmade Paper so that the usage of
plastic is reduced. She has also invented the trendy in-house
wearable handmade paper Chappals, which has caught the attention of
our clients. She feels that “Creativity is next to Godliness” and
that every person can be creative through proper training. Hence, in
order to promote this idea, she has started a project known as
"SAFERWE" (Social Awareness For Empowering Rural / Urban
Woman Entrepreneurs).

International Awards for her contribution to the world of
