Our Artisans: Photo updates from India

Last week Mela Artisans co-founder and CEO, Navroze Mehta, returned from a two-week trip to India where he focused on visiting our artisan groups and learning more about how Mela can help these communities. Traveling with his daughter and fellow co-founder, Sonali Mehta-Rao, the two were inspired to see how Mela Artisans is impacting entire communities.
