An immersive celebration of Banaras’s living craft traditions through textile, metal, performance and gastronomy

Tilfi’s latest showcase transforms Banarasi artistry from silk to sculpted metal, redefining craft for a modern world.

At Design Democracy in Hyderabad, Tilfi unveiled a collection that reimagines Banaras’s repoussé tradition — from sculptural panels to collectible objets d’art — proving that heritage can evolve without losing its soul.

In their latest book, Breaking the Mould, economists Dr. Raghuram Rajan and Dr. Rohit Lamba elucidate real-world examples of new Indian businesses breaking free from the constraints of the past. An excerpt from the book’s article on Tilfi highlights a compelling query posed by founders Aditi Chand, Udit Khanna, and Ujjwal Khanna.
