Nidhi Bala

Nidhi spent over a year researching the villages around Lucknow, meeting women artisans who had been practicing Chikankari without recognition. Today, Tanzeb is a platform where these skilled artisans, mainly women, are empowered to create beautiful pieces while gaining stable employment and a sense of independence.

Tanzeb Chikankari

Tanzeb is more than just a brand; it’s a tribute to the timeless art of Lucknow Chikankari and the artisans behind it. Founded by Nidhi Bala, a true Lucknavi at heart, Tanzeb was born out of her passion to preserve and uplift the centuries-old Chikankari craft. Nidhi, with a background in Economics and Business Administration, was deeply moved by the challenges faced by artisans as this intricate craft was being replicated and sold unfairly.

Driven by her love for Chikankari and the need to protect the art form, Nidhi spent over a year researching the villages around Lucknow, meeting women artisans who had been practicing Chikankari without recognition. Today, Tanzeb is a platform where these skilled artisans, mainly women, are empowered to create beautiful pieces while gaining stable employment and a sense of independence.

At Tanzeb, we are committed to ensuring the highest quality in every product, from dupattas to sarees, each reflecting the intricate hand-embroidery of our talented artisans. Every piece is unique, made with love and dedication, celebrating both tradition and the artisans behind it.

When you choose Tanzeb, you are not only investing in a product but also in a legacy of craftsmanship and the artisans who bring it to life. We believe in personalized service, incorporating your preferences into custom orders to create something truly special for you.

Experience the beauty of Chikankari—crafted with care, delivered with pride.
