description: >-
  Craftsvilla was an India-based online marketplace for ethnic and handcrafted
  products — sarees, ethnic apparel, jewelry, footwear, accessories, beauty and
  home decor sourced from artisans, weavers and small sellers across India.
  Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Mumbai, it was backed by Lightspeed
  Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, Nexus Venture Partners and Global Founders
  Capital before winding down its consumer operations around 2019 amid financial
  difficulties. It was surfaced as a Lightspeed portfolio company and added to
  the API Evangelist network as a stub for enrichment. Enrichment found no live
  public developer surface: the storefront domain now serves a broken AWS S3
  redirect (www.craftsvilla.com is NXDOMAIN) and there is no API, developer
  portal, documentation, /.well-known/ discovery, or llms.txt to harvest.
