CT Philip, India
Based in Madras, C T Philip began in 1971 as a father and son partnership marketing Indian handicrafts.
India is a major country for the production of craft goods, but the business climate often means that the craft workers receive very little for their work, and become dependent on money-lenders.
Through CT Philip, producer groups, otherwise too small to consider exporting, are given access to overseas markets. Workers are paid a fair price and get support with the complications of shipping and additional paperwork.
