Mrinalika Bhanjdeo, Founder, Hasa Atelier

Growing up in the historic Belgadia Palace in Odisha, surrounded by centuries-old craftsmanship and cultural artifacts, sparked a consciousness that would define Mrinalika Bhanjdeo’s calling. The Founder of Hasa Atelier acknowledged that many traditional crafts integrals to regional identity were fading due to modernisation and lack of recognition. This awareness transformed personal heritage into a mission to create sustainable ecosystems where traditional craftsmanship could thrive in contemporary markets.
