"Meraki" means to do something with creativity, love, and soul — and that's exactly what we embody in everything we do.
Born out of the prestigious UNESCO x Dior Women@Dior program, Minds of Meraki Foundation was founded by four young women from diverse corners of the globe, united by a common purpose: to empower women artisans in India.
We believe in the power of creativity and entrepreneurship to transform lives and communities, working towards a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive.
