Why every purchase matters

You're not buying from a shelf.
You're buying from her.

“When someone in another city wraps themselves in a shawl I spun, my daughters see that our hands are worth something. That is what this marketplace gave us.”

— A member of an SHG in Srinagar, supported under DAY-NULM

A counterfeit market surrounds Kashmiri crafts. Sonzal answers it with a QR sticker on every product — backed by the Government of J&K.

01

The SHG lists it

When an artisan adds a product, the platform mints a unique code and a printable QR sticker for it.

02

It travels with the craft

The sticker rides on the tag or packaging — through the workshop, the warehouse, all the way to you.

03

You scan to confirm

One scan reveals the product, its GI tag, and the exact Self Help Group and district behind it.
