The Ants Craft Pvt.Ltd was incorporated in 2014, as an offshoot of The Ants Craft Trust. The Ants Craft Trust, registered as a Public Charitable Trust in 2009 at Bangalore is an offshoot of the ant, a voluntary organisation working on development issues in the northeast (www.theant.org). Its mandate is to showcase the handlooms and crafts mainly of the northeast not just to generate and sustain livelihoods but also to stress on the positive features of the people and communities living in the northeast. It has taken over the reins of the Ants Store at Indiranagar, Bangalore from the ant as one of its first activities and is also assisting the ant in running its ânortheastising the mainstreamâ project at its premises.
