Banglanatak dot com is a social enterprise working with a mission to foster pro poor growth. Our vision is to synergize cultural and economic development not only for preservation of cultural heritage and diversity but also facilitating sustainable development of people.

We aim at developing sustainable livelihood opportunities for backward communities through micro enterprise development. We use Theatre in Development methodologies to build life skills, design skills as well as marketing skills of rural entrepreneurs who lack formal education and initiate them to work together as clusters, create brand identities for their products and establish direct market linkages.

We work in rural, tribal and urban areas across India.
