WHO WE ARE

AOI was born when Mr. Antonio Zanotti from Milan was in India on a business trip, looking for some handicrafts similar to those he had bought many years ago and that his customers repeatedly requested.

Unfortunately, after several days of travel, disappointment grew in him. He could not find what he was looking for, despite the fact that he had visited numerous ancient villages in search of exquisite craftsmen.

During his journey, he discovers that artisans have migrated to metropolitan cities in search of profits offered by factories. He realized that in the era of fast developments and electronics, the ancient craft arts are gradually disappearing and has decided to do something to preserve them.

Luckily he met a veteran art expert who had a similar vision to him and was also working on how to preserve the arts and crafts of India. The solution was simple but difficult to achieve. He knew that if the artisans had obtained continuous work and with a good income, they would have preferred to continue to carry out their ancient profession, which is handed down from generation to generation.

To make this possible, a strategy has been devised: the development of a platform where artisans can sell their products at the right price, without depending on mediators, (wholesalers, importers and distributors and showrooms)
