his work
Anand Prakash started its journey 10 years ago with very little investment but a lot of hard work, belief, faith and tremendous passion.
His pieces of art are unique. The detailing that goes into each of his products is un-paralleled, his quality is impeccable and his innovativeness has brought him laurels from all corners of the world. The USP of his work is simplicity and the imaginative use of everyday materials. Every minute detail is taken seriously, his firm spends more time in sorting goods than making them as it involves multiple processes before each object is turned into a piece of art. He enjoys his work therefore he loves to partner with people who think alike. Passion and professionalism come before profitability. Every customer has to leave completely satisfied. He doesn’t view his work as a business, its a relationship where in he tries to deliver on the expectations of his clients.
He takes time to come up with award winning designs that can be handmade by his skilled team of craftsmen. With patience and skill each masterpiece goes through a slew of processes and quality checks. Even though being individually handcrafted all his products have consistency in design and quality.
He knows what it means to have products that become trend setters and heirlooms for years to come. His limited edition pieces are prized possessions of a few, they exude innovativeness and creative excellence never seen before.

Hi Anand
I am a huge fan of your work. I had a small gift business in Cape Town South Africa.Wish I had known you then.
Have been in Bangalore with my husband and kids for just over a year now
My favourite of your amazing things are your metal bookmarks. I use them for wrapping gifts in silk and then finishing off the gift with a bow together with the bookmark dangling on the ribbon it looks fab! I have been asked to source some things for a large South African company. Are you interested Kind regards Tracy

My friend sent me the link to your website after receiving one of your bookmarks as a gift. I’m blown away and would really consider buying some in bulk for when I get married (whenever that is) to give away to the guests as a wedding momento. I wish you shipped to South Africa though, but keep up the fabulous work!
