Welcome to Thadam, an initiative by StartupTN Mission, dedicated to showcasing and promoting the indigenous art and crafts of Tamil Nadu. We connect marginalized communities with modern audiences, assisting in product enhancement and brand development. Thadam Forum serves as a platform for startups across Tamil Nadu, operated by community members, focusing on promoting their unique art and crafts. Join us in this journey of preserving tradition and fostering economic empowerment
We host a diverse set of communities of Tamil Nadu, each preserving a traditional art form or craft native to the state. From Bhavani's Jamakkalam weavers to Kallakurichi's Terracotta craftsmen and the Nilgiris' Toda embroiderers, our communities are the proud bearers of unique identities. Their stories, collectively, weave the rich narrative that defines Tamil Nadu. Join us in celebrating their heritage and craftsmanship at Thadam
