Bussiness Ideas

Shoegaro was conceptualised to preserve the dying art of handmade shoemaking, with aim to engage artisans families who have carried forward the traditional art of handmade shoes. In last two decades, the handmade footwear artisans have been losing their shoemaking jobs to rapid industrialisation in footwear market. And because of which most of these artisans both men & women have been living in abject poverty and working as daily wage labours in and around Agra city or have migrated to other parts of India in search of livelihood. We engage both men and women of these shoemaking artisan families at various stages of shoe making and tries to provide consistent shoemaking orders thereby providing livelihood opportunities by doing what they know best. We also consistently try to improvise shoemaking skills of these artisans and bring them close to the latest technology. We also pay special attention to make these artisans as internet friendly as possible.
