This year, ‘Artforms of India’ will bring to consumers products from across the country that have a rich cultural heritage and high regional significance. Jagjeet Harode, Senior Director and Head – Marketplace, Flipkart, said, “Our aim is to ensure that Indian consumers while making a purchase, are able to envision their contribution in impacting the livelihoods of these communities.”
