The main vision behind Andaman Market is to provide and create a digital footprint for the Artifact product manufactured on the Islands by the locals. Apart from being famous for its pristine beaches and natural biodiversity, our Islands are also known throughout the nation and worldwide for the local handicrafts. Andaman Market is a platform that provides a wide variety of items that customers can buy as souvenirs or gifts for their near and dear ones.
We are all affected by the unprecedented times and the ones most affected are the islanders who are solely dependent on tourism to earn their daily bread. The local artisans make their living by making the arts and crafts which are the timeless moments that travelers like to gift to the near and dear ones as a memory of these pristine Islands.
In Andaman, it was observed that whenever a tourist visits these Islands, they like to take a part of these Islands as a remembrance of their journey to savour their journey for their whole life and remember these beautiful memories time and time again. People (Islanders and tourists alike) end up gifting these tokens of timeless pieces to their loved ones living on the mainland and even abroad.
Being distant from Mainland India, Andaman Islanders lag behind proper resources to promote and develop the business, Handicrafts is a livelihood business for many Islanders, using the digital platform https://andamanmarket.com now Islanders can extend their reach without any limitations and connect with the customers worldwide.
