Our company currently exports products from more than 250 artisans to nearly 10 countries such as France, Germany, South Africa, USA , Dubai etc. We work with several Indian partners to ensure our efforts are coordinated with other organizations and that we learn from others in the industry. Vastan Overseas strength is in the variety of products and outstanding service we provide to our clients. We offer the widest selection of Indian handicrafts and gift ideas available, giving our buyers a one-stop shopping opportunity. We assure the highest quality and the most reliable delivery commitments possible, according to the production process for each item. Moreover, we can custom-make carpet designs to satisfy the specific needs of our clients and their markets through our Design Center. Vastan Overseas - Past & Present In 2000 a group of professionals and young artisans created Vastan Overseas with the purpose of making a solid contribution to the dignity of handicraft work by searching for channels of sales of its products. Since the early days, Vastan Overseas has grown to provide providing export, marketing, technical training and design assistance to more than 250 artisans, exporting products to nearly 10 countries. Vastan Overseas continues to broaden its reach to include additional artisans and workshops, while expanding to new markets overseas. Vastan Overseas is proud to operate as a self-financed and stable non-profit organization. Key to our success has been the operational efficiency that allows us to maintain low overhead and operating costs, while ensuring high quality products and services are delivered to each client. Since our founding, we have undoubtedly made an important contribution to both the artisans, our beneficiaries, and to promoting the concept of Fair Trade in India and in the global marketplace. Future Always looking ahead to the potential the future holds, Vastan Overseas hopes to expand its services to producers in a way that is both efficient and effective in creating new employment opportunities and high-quality handicraft exports. We see the immense power of trade and the businesses engaged in it to promote ethical operating principles that develop our human resources while enhancing the quality of all of our lives through increased availability of products and services worldwide. As consumers become increasingly conscious of the sources of the products they buy and the conditions under which they were produced, Vastan Overseas plans to continue to build on this process of educating buyers to the fact that their purchase can make a difference. We see a vital link strengthening between our artisans, their stories and skills, and the individuals who buy and appreciate their work. Finally, we wish to remain loyal to our principles of Fair Trade and its power to create a better world, while fulfilling our role as part of the global network of producers, exporters, importers, wholesalers, brokers and retailers who can make this vision a reality. The Mission Vastan Overseas mission is to improve the lives of economically struggling workshops and artisan groups throughout India by promoting and exporting the handicrafts they design and create, as well as working with the artists to improve their business practices and continually develop new products that stay true to their traditions. Promotion & Export In India today, individual artists and small workshops face significant challenges in finding international markets and exporting their products, on top of the difficulties of promoting and distributing their work domestically. We act as a proactive link between these diverse artist groups, and the distinct international markets where we work through various distribution channels to access the consumers who will purchase and appreciate these unique products. A key aspect of our continuing success in this role is our commitment to Total Client Service. We understand that our customers have demanding clients, and success requires total commitment from every party along the supply chain. We are also proud of the outstanding reputation we hold within the India artisan and business community, based on the quality of the services we provide and our long tradition of fair trade. The prices we pay our artisans are determined by the artisans. By purchasing from Vastan Overseas ,importers, distributors and retailers bring high-quality, unique and attractive items to local markets, while at the same time improving the living conditions of our producers by paying fair prices and stimulating justice in the workplace of the developing world. Our Producers & Products The beneficiaries of Vastan Overseas work are, in general, micro-enterprises and associations of artisans who are from poor economic sectors. Moreover, despite their ability to produce attractive products and generate fair labor, their relatively small production capacity and minimal use of technology have limited them in some way.
