- 2021 – The brand gained momentum by supplying to Chumbak, Emami Art, and exporting through Etsy and global fairs.

From the rhythmic pulse of handmade paper rollers in 1970s Howrah to the heartbeats of tribal artisans in modern-day Purulia, Tribal Veda Heritage is more than a business—it’s a revival. What began as K. Datta & Co. under the Khadi Commission was disrupted by the tides of time. But legacies don’t fade; they evolve.
Reimagined by Supratim Datta and Suman Samanta through Retrouvilles.in, the brand tapped into decades-old paper traditions, introducing sustainable products to global shelves—from Chumbak to Emami Art and Etsy customers across continents. But in their journey, a deeper purpose emerged—the untouched potential of India’s tribal wisdom and craft.
Tribal Veda Heritage LLP was thus born—not just to create products, but to create impact. Our vision merges modern design, tribal craftsmanship, and immersive travel. With our first homestay coming up in the hills of Purulia, we’re building a future where every traveler becomes a storyteller, every product a legacy, and every tribal artisan a changemaker.
