New Delhi [India], September 5: In an era dominated by fast fashion, disposable products, and unchecked consumerism, Tatsat stands out as a refreshing reminder that shopping can be thoughtful, purposeful, and deeply human. More than just a retail store, Tatsat represents a vision of how commerce can honour both people and the planet. Its journey from quiet beginnings in 2012 to becoming a formally recognised enterprise in 2020 is a story of patience, persistence, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship.
The Humble Beginnings
The seeds of Tatsat were sown in 2012, when co-founders and sisters Hema and Jyotsna Narang asked themselves a profound question: What if every product we buy could tell a story of dignity, sustainability, and heritage? Rather than rushing into a traditional business model, the sisters spent years exploring India’s craft clusters, meeting artisans in their homes, and engaging with small fair-trade groups. These formative years were about listening, learning, and understanding the complex ecosystems of craft, ethical trade, and sustainable production. “We didn’t want to be just another store,” recalls Hema.
“It was important to first build trust with artisans and learn how to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern design needs.”

Taking Shape in 2020
After nearly a decade of groundwork, Tatsat formally took shape in 2020 as a socially conscious retail brand. By then, the Narang sisters had built strong partnerships with weavers, artisan collectives, and eco-conscious brands, many of whom had long been excluded from mainstream markets. This transition coincided with a larger cultural awakening: Indian consumers were becoming more mindful about sustainability, conscious consumption, and local craftsmanship. Tatsat entered this space not as a fleeting trend, but as a thoughtful response to an enduring need for ethical, transparent, and value-driven retail.
Vision and Mission
At its core, Tatsat envisions a marketplace where commerce is led by purpose, not just profit.
Its mission is twofold:
1. To empower artisans and fair-trade organisations by giving them dignified access to urban markets.
2. To provide conscious consumers with authentic, eco-friendly products from handcrafted gifts and home decor to upcycled creations and sustainable lifestyle goods.
Tatsat encourages mindful consumption, where every purchase is more than a transaction; it’s a vote for sustainability, heritage, and fairness. Its curated range of ethical lifestyle products ensures that customers can shop consciously without compromising on design or quality.
Building Bridges Between Makers and Buyers
What makes Tatsat truly unique is its role as a bridge. For artisans, it ensures fair compensation, recognition, and a platform to preserve traditional crafts. For customers, it removes the guesswork from ethical shopping in an era where “greenwashing” is widespread. Its carefully curated collections include fair-trade handicrafts, eco-friendly lifestyle products, handmade toys, and upcycled items, each chosen to reflect slow living and responsible gifting. Hema’s eye for aesthetics ensures traditional crafts blend seamlessly with contemporary living, while Jyotsna’s strategic guidance safeguards the brand’s commitment to ethical sourcing and fair practices.
Looking Ahead
From humble beginnings in 2012 to a growing presence today, Tatsat proves that ethical business is not about speed, but about depth. With more consumers now seeking alternatives that are authentic and meaningful, Tatsat aspires to be a trusted destination where conscious choices are the norm, not the exception. Looking forward, the brand aims to expand its collaborations with artisan clusters, weaving communities, and eco-innovators across India, continuing its mission to make commerce a genuine force for good. In a marketplace often hungry for trends, Tatsat offers something timeless: the assurance that every product carries a story of sustainability, heritage, and humanity.
