History
The Evolution of Tribal Veda Heritage
- 1970 – K. Datta & Co. was founded in Howrah, Kolkata, India under the Khadi Commission to manufacture handmade cotton paper.
- 1990 – The unit paused operations due to global competition and political instability in West Bengal.
- 2020 – Supratim Datta and Suman Samanta revived the paper legacy through Retrouvilles.in, launching a handmade product brand.
- 2021 – The brand gained momentum by supplying to Chumbak, Emami Art, and exporting through Etsy and global fairs.
- 2022 – Deep artisan engagement began across India, highlighting the need for finished product focus and cultural storytelling.
- 2023 – The idea of Tribal Veda was conceptualized as a blend of homestays, retreats, and design-led tribal products.
- 2024 – Extensive groundwork and site research were carried out in tribal regions including Purulia.
- 2025 – Tribal Veda Heritage LLP was incorporated on 12th March as a DPIIT-recognized startup, with its first 9,900 sq. ft. homestay site leased near Bamni Falls, Purulia.
Tribal Veda Heritage is a social enterprise connecting tribal communities of Eastern India with sustainable markets.
We work across the journey from farmer and artisan to finished product and market, creating opportunities around natural fibres, handmade paper, sustainable packaging and traditional crafts.
By combining traditional knowledge, local resources and modern design, we help transform community skills and agricultural resources into market-ready products for businesses and institutions.
Our goal is simple: create sustainable livelihoods by making tribal enterprise commercially viable, scalable and connected to the world.
