The
inspiration....
Immortal arts of the world have always inspired people and
influenced civilizations. Stone craft of Agra too has survived
many centuries and enriched itself in the process. Practiced
during Moghul period it is best seen in the world famous
heritage monument of Taj. Intricate carvings and stone inlays
are its hallmarks, while patterns are inspired by the elements
of nature.
We-the Sharma family of Agra- traditional practitioners of the
craft and sculptors, have carried forward the excellence of
the craft down the generations.
Of late, we fancied of making lifestyle and home utility goods
embellished with our traditional art to give a twist to the
family business, and it worked.
Our products were welcomed worldwide and our business went
under transformation during the last decade. |

... and its Conversion
into Reality
|
Arts and
crafts being individualistic occupations are tough
to convert into organized production enterprises but
becoming a bit easier if artisans themselves do it.
With whatever we had, a modest enterprise was floated on a
300 sq. mts. area where artisans and designers could be
threaded into a continuous workflow.
Within a few years, an expansion became quite evident, and
we added another 2000 sq. mts. and j ust another decade
passed, before we could annex another 14000 sq. mts. to
accommodate our growth.
In the rhyme of the real estate expansion, tooling, design
and staff development too paced up and now SIPL-our
flagship company, runs dedicated to produce the top
quality artifacts on custom deadlines. |

Doctrines and Dogmas
1. All arts is an imitation of nature. We love to stay
close to nature, because it loves to stay closer to life
and art!
2. Living in harmony with nature and absorbing it as much
as one can for a better health, serenity and peace.
3. In fast developing urban societies, the civilization is
moving away from nature, which is no less than a sin!
4. This is the time a sensible city dweller should have a
little more of nature in his life.
5. Help him choose. Give him the products that are 100%
natural.

Our Craft, Our People
Our people are integral to our
craft, a real asset for us artisans. They help us
perpetuate the great tradition of the period art we
practice, and rather add new dimensions to it.
SIPL management ensures that they work in a hygienic and
cordial environment and possess a good physical and
mental health.
Our HRD is strict about staff welfare programs being
implemented and benefits distributed to them in time.
Apart from this we encourage frequent informal sessions
for discussing individual and inter departmental issues
where staff members get together like a family. This
freedom of expression promotes creativity, keeps them in
good humor and in turn enhances efficiency. |
