MYNTRA-----Another feather in Warli’s cap

Warli---the flag ship project of Somaiya Social Cell has taken yet another step forward in helping out the artists who practice this art form.

Myntra.com a website that offers customers a variety of goods online is our new partner for marketing Warli products. Myntra offers a variety of products like personalized T-shirts, mugs, pens, wallets etc. It attracts a lot of people especially youngsters who like to make their statement. It is through this website myntra.com that we at Somaiya Social Cell are trying to bring more business and exposure to the Warli painters.

In response to the application sent in by our Warli team, the team at myntra.com, did their own research and found our products feasible, following which the deal to allow us set up an account in myntra.com was finalized in September 2009 and the Warli account in myntra.com became operational in October 2009.The shop on myntra.com called SIFE somaiya now offers T-shirts with warli designs on them.

The Warli team is now the design partner for myntra.com and through its account on the website, T-shirts with Warli paintings are sold . For every T-shirt each costing RS 350/- sold we receive commission which will go to the Warli painters.

The dedicated efforts of our Warli team has enabled us grab this opportunity and has opened a new avenue to showcase the forgotten art form. This platform will not only bring in more business for Warli products but more importantly it will give the art form and its painters much needed exposure and well deserved attention.

It is a number of small but firm steps like this that contribute towards the success of our projects and give us the boost to take forward our motto….Touching Hearts…Challenging Destinies.
