Our Story
‘Main Hoon Karigar’ is an initiative that celebrates artisans from all walks of life. From chefs perfecting the art of flavor to weavers crafting intricate fabrics, Main Hoon Karigar shines a light on these unsung heroes, preserving art forms that risk fading into the past. Karigari is not just a restaurant, it is a stage where these remarkable artisans showcase their craft, connecting with communities that value and cherish tradition.
To honor these talented Karigars, we began a heartfelt tradition with our very first restaurant. We invited the families of our craftsmen, laborers, and artisans to share a meal, celebrating their hard work in building our space. It was a moment of unity, gratitude, and deep respect for every hand that helped transform Karigari from a dream into a beautiful reality.
We at Karigari had the honor of presenting the first “Main Hoon Karigar” award to Mr. Asif Khan, an artisan from Agra. Mr. Khan’s family has long been known for their intricate Gaurahari stonework, a legacy that was once at risk of fading. Struggling to make ends meet, he nearly left his craft behind for a modest job.
With support from Project Virasat by Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Mr. Khan found a new path forward and grew his business to an inspiring turnover of 1.5–2 crore. Through our collaboration with Project Virasat, we have showcased his exquisite artwork across all Karigari locations, sharing his story and talent with our guests.
At Karigari, the “Main Hoon Karigar” initiative is dedicated to celebrating artisans from every background, whether it is chefs perfecting the culinary arts or weavers crafting intricate fabrics. We believe in preserving these priceless traditions and giving a platform to those whose artistry deserves recognition in our lives today and in the future.
