🚀 About Us

Dusala is a luxury Indian brand known for its heritage Pashmina and now expanding into multi-state crafts — including Kosa silk from Chhattisgarh, Banarasi, Lucknowi, and beyond.

Our vision is to create a commercialized craft-luxury ecosystem where clothing (sarees, apparel), accessories (bags, belts), and home lifestyle crafts are curated from artisans and presented with royal Dusala packaging and storytelling.

We are building a dropshipping + consignment model: sourcing crafts directly from clusters, cooperatives, and suppliers, while expanding Dusala’s footprint across curated e-commerce platforms and luxury retail stores.

🎯 Role & Responsibilities

• Craft Sourcing & Curation

• Source clothing & accessories first (sarees, apparel, bags, belts), followed by home & lifestyle crafts (throws, rugs, furnishings).

• Partner with ODOP initiatives, Craftroots, Swadeshi India, Jaypore, Okhai, FabIndia-style networks, and artisan cooperatives.

• Curate products with a commercial angle — scalable, quality-checked, and luxury-ready.

• Business Development

• Drive placements in curated boutiques, luxury stores, and online marketplaces (Nykaa Fashion, Ajio Luxe, Tata Cliq Luxe, Etsy, Amazon Handmade).

• Build B2B partnerships with buyers, distributors, and export houses.

• Negotiate consignment and dropship deals with suppliers and partners.

• Exhibition & Global Expansion

• Build and maintain a network of international exhibition agents, buyers, and consultants.

• Compile and use agent data for Dusala’s global craft participation (HEPC, EPCH, international fairs, curated shows).

• Explore future international sourcing (Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines) while keeping India-first focus.

• Onboarding & Brand Integration

• Onboard collections to Dusala’s platform and partner platforms.

• Ensure products fit Dusala’s luxury storytelling and premium packaging identity.

✅ Ideal Profile

• 5–12 years’ experience in fashion, crafts, or category management.

• Strong background with craft-commercial ecosystems like ODOP, Craftroots, Swadeshi India, Jaypore, Okhai, FabIndia, or export councils.

• Exposure to curated e-commerce platforms (Nykaa Fashion, Ajio Luxe, Tata Cliq Luxe, Etsy, Amazon Handmade).

• Track record in business development, B2B partnerships, and consignment/dropship models.

• Must have experience with international exhibitions, buyers, or agents, and ideally access to agent/buyer data.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: ability to commercialize crafts while keeping luxury positioning intact.

• Shape Dusala’s growth from Pashmina into multi-state craft luxury.
