Empowering Grassroots Livelihoods. Building Sustainable Brands.
Cater India Trust is a social development NGO committed to transforming livelihoods at the grassroots level by enabling individuals and communities from the lower rungs of society to become self-reliant producers and brand owners. The Trust works at the intersection of skill development, ethical production, and market access, ensuring that talent and tradition are not limited by socio-economic barriers.
At its core, Cater India Trust focuses on identifying artisans, farmers, micro-entrepreneurs, women collectives, tribal groups, and marginalized communities, and supporting them through end-to-end capacity building—ranging from training and quality standardization to branding, packaging, compliance, and go-to-market support.
Creates community-owned brands rooted in indigenous knowledge, traditional skills, and local resources
Sponsors and mentors first-time producers to help them transition from informal livelihoods to organized, income-generating enterprises
Ensures ethical sourcing and fair practices, with transparent value distribution to producers
Supports long-term sustainability, not short-term aid—focusing on dignity, ownership, and scalability
Through its association with Tribana, Cater India Trust enables these community-led brands to reach national and global markets. Tribana serves as a discovery and commerce platform where socially responsible consumers, institutions, and buyers can directly support products that carry authentic stories, verified origins, and measurable social impact.
Each brand nurtured under Cater India Trust represents more than a product—it represents employment creation, cultural preservation, and economic inclusion.
Cater India Trust envisions an ecosystem where:
Marginalized communities are producers, not dependents
Traditional knowledge becomes economically valued
Social impact and commercial viability coexist sustainably
By building brands from the ground up, Cater India Trust is redefining empowerment—from charity to capability, from survival to growth.
