ABOUT US
"Who We Are"
All Handicrafts Exporters Association (AHEA) is where Indian craftsmanship meets global opportunity. We are a national association dedicated to transforming local skills, handmade products, and entrepreneurial ideas into successful businesses with worldwide recognition. At AHEA, we don’t just support businesses — we build them. From helping individuals start a venture from absolute zero to guiding existing businesses toward global visibility, we walk every step of the journey. Whether it’s business setup, MSME support, or establishing a strong eCommerce presence, AHEA ensures that every member is equipped to grow, compete, and scale.
Our Zero-to-Hero approach empowers artisans, women entrepreneurs, startups, traders, and exporters by combining traditional craftsmanship with modern digital platforms, exhibitions, and international trade networks. By connecting Indian businesses to markets across India and abroad, we turn potential into performance and passion into globally recognized success.
Our Purpose
India is home to unparalleled craftsmanship, yet many skilled individuals lack access to structured guidance, government benefits, digital platforms, and global exposure. AHEA was formed to close this gap by providing end-to-end handholding, from business initiation to global promotion. Our purpose is simple yet powerful: to help individuals start, grow, and scale handicraft-based businesses—from zero to global.
Zero to Global Journey
AHEA is committed to supporting individuals even if they are starting with no prior business experience. From idea validation and product identification to eCommerce integration and global promotion, we walk alongside our members at every step. Whether it is a home-based artisan, a women entrepreneur, or an existing trader aiming to expand globally, AHEA provides the structure, network, and exposure required to grow with confidence.
Our Vision
To make India a globally recognized hub for authentic handicrafts and MSME-led exports by creating a strong, transparent, and inclusive export ecosystem.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support artisans and entrepreneurs in building businesses from zero to global. We enable growth through MSME support, eCommerce setup, exhibitions, and international market access.
