Unique Sikki Arts

Our Story

Dhirendra founded Rachna Sikki Hastkala Kendra, named after his niece Rachna, the only child in the family at the time. Despite facing challenges in gaining recognition, he remained steadfast. To scale production, he trained young girls from SC communities, initially incentivizing them with chocolates and biscuits. Over time, these girls became skilled artisans and started earning wages through their work.

Dhirendra’s art gained visibility through exhibitions at prestigious venues like Dastkar Haat, Delhi Haat, and Pragati Maidan. However, his early years were marked by struggles—three years passed without a single sale. Undeterred, he innovated by creating smaller, affordable art pieces, making Sikki art accessible to all. This approach transformed his fortunes, leading to steady growth and recognition.
