Problem
Traditional craft techniques often lack integration with modern technology, limiting their functionality and appeal in contemporary markets. This disconnect can lead to a decline in traditional skills and a missed opportunity to create innovative, high-value products.

They collaborate with artisans to create immersive experiences and functional tech products that "humanize" technology. By embedding circuits and interactive elements within textiles, ANUVAD transforms traditional crafts into interactive art pieces, musical synthesizers, and customized installations. Their approach focuses on using locally sourced natural materials and scalable hand-built processes to create aesthetically pleasing and ecologically sound e-textile artifacts.
