Meet The Team
Shweta Menon
(Owner)
Welcome to Truly Tribal! I am Shweta Menon, the proud founder and owner of this esteemed social enterprise, committed to restoring and promoting India's long-lost art forms. With a passion for preserving our rich cultural heritage, I embarked on a journey to bridge the gap between today's consumer needs and the incredible talent of our tribal artists.
Drawing inspiration from my roots in India and a deep appreciation for traditional art, I established Truly Tribal with a vision to empower artisans and uplift their families through innovative digital initiatives. As a firm believer in the transformative power of art, I strive to make exquisite handicrafts and paintings easily accessible at affordable rates, reaching a wider audience and providing consistent work to these skilled craftsmen.
My journey in art and culture has been fueled by a desire to create meaningful connections between the modern world and the timeless beauty of our tribal and folk art forms. Collaborating with corporate and interior designers, we explore new ideas and designs, fostering creativity and innovation while preserving the essence of traditional art.
I am grateful to be part of this meaningful mission, celebrating the diverse cultural value of India's heritage and offering artistic solutions for homes, businesses, and gifts. When you purchase from Truly Tribal, you acquire beautiful handmade items and contribute to the preservation and recognition of local and tribal craftsmen, securing their art and culture for generations to come.
Join me on this remarkable journey as we support talented artists, promote India's cultural legacy, and together, positively impact traditional artisans' lives. Let's discover the beauty of handcrafted treasures and create a brighter future for these skilled communities.
Thank you for being a part of Truly Tribal's inspiring endeavour.
Warm regards,
Shweta Menon
