income, but did not want opt for a job. She wanted to get absorbed in a creative activity with
some earning potential. Rural crafts and metal handicrafts held a special appeal for her. Many
times she had thought of doing some business in handicrafts. But so far the only outlet for her
creative urge was to participate in annual exhibitions organised by NGOs. Winning prizes
and appreciation increased her interest in crafts. At one such exhibition. Mrs. Gupta came
into contact with American interested inartificial jewellery. Got these fabricated through local
artisans and showed them to the American customer, who was highly appreciative?
Subsequently. an arrangement was made to book a few consignments to the USA through an
exporter. After the success of this endeavour. Mrs. Gupta looked to the prospects in export
business. She decided expand her set-up. Together with a bank loan and money from friends
and relatives. She floated their own exporting firm, Medha International. Ornaments,
brassware, paper mache products, and lacquer miniatures from Andhra Pradesh and Jaipur
constituted the main items of export. During her foreign tours Mrs. Gupta discovered that
ornamental cane furniture could be another promising export item. Through observation,
direct interaction with customers and reading she formed a practical idea about the type and
design of cane ware that would appeal to western customers. Back home, she explored the
north-eastern regions of the country to find out about cane products available there. Mrs.
Gupta quickly switched over to exporting cane furniture only as there was no competition at
all. She provided work to 60 traditional artisans and tribals who took pride in the fact that
their work travelled globally and that they contributed to the country's earnings.Mrs. Gupta's
marketing strategy was simple. She would display her wares at exhibitions in different parts
of the world and book orders directly. Every year, Mrs. Gupta would come out with new
designs. She did not take pan in exhibitions in India nor allow anybody to see her designs.
