Made for you in Delhi

The intention of Shakti is to spread wellbeing to everyone who comes in contact with it—starting with the maker. Take a look at some of the incredible craftspeople involved in the journey of your Shakti Mat.

Shakti Delhi is not one factory but a network of small family businesses all playing their part in crafting each mat. The working model is built around catering to the individual needs of the craftspeople. This means prioritizing family empowerment, financial independence, and flexible working hours.

The craftspeople are supported with overtime pay, end of year bonuses and ESI medical insurance to ensure the wellbeing of them and their families is looked after.

  • Annu

    “I feel a homely atmosphere here. There is a feeling of togetherness. The work is safe and neat. The environment here is very pleasant and everyone has a very friendly nature. I have been very happy since I started my job at Shakti Mat."

  • Sharda

    “My name is Sharda. I live here with my husband and son. I was introduced to Shakti Mat through my sister. This job has helped me a lot. I used to be very worried before this, but now I do not want to quit this work. I used to work as a beautician. Here I get regular work unlike the previous one. We really feel good as this has supported me a lot and made me successful."

  • Reeta

    "I feel very delighted to work here. Everyone is fine and amicable, and we all are very happy as we can support our families financially. We enjoy a pleasant environment here and live comfortably with proper facilities. There are no conflicts among us, we all live peacefully, and everything is really good."

In 2023, Shakti worked with SMETA certifiers to get official certification for socially responsible manufacture. This has been a long work in progress but an exciting one as it provides us with unequivocal certainty around fair working conditions, pay and hours, fire safety and medical training.

Thank you for your incredible support and for making Team Delhi possible!
