In a world where plastic and mass-produced items dominate the market, Narikela Art stands as a beacon of sustainability and craftsmanship. Founded in 2023 by Bhavesh Mathur, Narikela Art is not just a business; it’s a heartfelt journey of passion, creativity, and eco-consciousness.
How It All Began
One ordinary day, Bhavesh Mathur was casually flipping through YouTube and stumbled upon an artisan transforming a coconut shell into a cup. Being fascinated with the beauty of handcrafted arts and uniqueness associated with this form of craft, Bhavesh thought he might as well make one himself too. He soon found himself creating more coconut shell products for the sheer joy of it. What started as a fun experiment quickly turned into a hobby.
Seeing his growing collection, Bhavesh’s parents recognized the potential in his work. They encouraged him to take it a step further and start charging for his creations. With their support, Bhavesh turned his hobby into a business, and thus, Narikela Art was born.
The Meaning Behind the Name
When he was choosing the name for his venture, Bhavesh wanted it to be deeply rooted in tradition. Finally, he chose “Narikela Art” as “Narikela” is the Sanskrit word for coconut shell. It’s the quintessence of the brand – authenticity, sustainability, and cultural heritage.
