Our Story — The Beginning of Ankan

At Ankan, we believe that art isn’t just meant to be admired in galleries — it should live in your home, drape your everyday, and be a part of your story.

Our journey began in the vibrant town of Bhairavgarh, Ujjain, a place rich in culture and heritage, where the art of Batik printing has been passed down through generations. Known for its intricate wax-resist dyeing technique, Batik print from Bhairavgarh has now earned a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, preserving its authenticity and recognizing its deep cultural roots.

We started back in 2010, going door-to-door, selling handcrafted clothing with the passion of storytellers — each product a piece of our art, each conversation a step toward a dream. It was a humble beginning, but the warmth we received from households across towns lit a fire within us. Slowly and steadily, our efforts began to bloom.

Now, in this era of digital transformation, we’re proud to introduce our very own exclusive online store: AnkanIndia.com.

Why "Ankan"?

The word “Ankan” can mean marking, stamping, branding, writing, or even numbering. For us, Ankan represents identity — a way to leave an impression. We hope that with each product you buy, Ankan leaves a mark on your heart, and becomes your first choice for every occasion.

From bedsheets that turn your home into an expression of art, to sarees and suits that blend elegance with tradition — every item is handcrafted, lovingly curated, and proudly made in India.

A New Chapter Begins

Ankan is more than a brand; it’s a promise — of quality, culture, and community. With this new venture, we aim to offer a seamless online shopping experience, while staying true to our roots in handcrafted artistry.

As a small business, your support means the world to us. Every purchase you make helps sustain a tradition, empower local artisans, and write the next chapter in our story.
