Manoj Aggarwal

"Hi, I'm Manoj Aggarwal and I was born and brought up in Faridabad in East Punjab. I always had a keen interest in the mesmerizing beauty of Indian arts and crafts. Though I do not have any background in the craft medium, I decided to get into it with big heart.

"My interest in this field always drew me to any craft fair. I would travel to different towns and cities to visit the fairs, gaining knowledge about the exquisite art of my country.

"I now design for craftspeople from different parts of India, and they have taught me more about the art. Together, we create something beautiful and this gives me a great deal of satisfaction. We take good care of quality, as I feel that quality is the most important part for a truly distinguished work.

"I am happy to be in this field. I am loving every bit of it. Right now, I am focusing on wood but will soon offer you marble, metal and other types of art. And I hope you all will help me make my dream come true. I am counting on all of you.

"I am associated with a group of women artisans that specialize in traditional collectible dolls. They are hand-crafted and they are widely admired by all, young and old, because they represent India's varied culture and customs."
