Bangalore: There are several ways to help society. Some become philanthropists, while some serves the poor through an NGO. The varied the people, the varied are the ways of serving the society. Few startup entrepreneurs share their way of serving the society.

manoj gupta, founder, craftsvillaI fortunately am in a business that deals with the bottom line of the society, the artisans whose work are appreciated worldwide but are not paid off well for their talent. The middlemen when comes into picture, plays their part of role and grabs the pulp from the fruit, leaving the scales for them. Our company is trying to eliminate these middlemen from the life of artisans so that they can earn a preferable living for themselves. One of the biggest social benefit that we are making is bringing more viable options for these artisans. We provide an online shop for these artisans where in they can profile their products. We have photo studios that click free images for them and even we do free content writing for them.



Manoj Gupta is the founder of Craftsvilla.com, an e-commerce company that deals with the handicraft products. He is also the board observer at Snapdeal.com, SWDEMAC Mechatronics, and board member at Sohanlal Commodity Management, Bigshoebazaar India, and Deccan Healthcare. He is also the Principal at Nexus Venture Partners and the founding team member of WIT.

1: Good post. I liked it.

Explore the power of imagination that makes us infinite. Design the change you dream about. Your small idea could bring about a big change. There are several ideas that never see the light of day because of various reasons like lack of resources, lack of support systems etc. What you do with your idea today will not only change our tomorrow but also inspire many others to transform the world. With this opportunity, you not just aspire to change but inspire by change.

There is the social side of businessmen and entrepreneurs. When one becomes rich one should think of sharing part of it for social upliftment.
