About Industree Foundation

Industree’s mission is to build sustainable livelihoods in the creative manufacturing sector to ensure that underemployed women can have high and regular incomes, decent and equitable working conditions, and the ability to cope with life crises.

We envision a world in which millions of producers rise out of poverty by building sustainable livelihoods in creative manufacturing. We believe that when producers have access to an enabling ecosystem they are able to pursue their futures with dignity, and that when women earn they are empowered at home and in their communities.

Since our founding in 2008 we have worked with thousands of women to build livelihoods in the creative manufacturing sector. Our two flagship Producer Enterprises, Ektha and Greenkraft, employ over 200 producers at our factory in HSR Layout, and have combined revenues of over USD 1.6 Million. Our founder, Neelam Chhiber, has won numerous awards including Skoll Foundation Social Entrepreneur of the Year.
