Exile Creations, a fitting name born from the heart of our story, was founded by two Tibetan visionaries as a haven for young Tibetan artisans who fled their homeland and now live in exile in India. Following the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959, thousands of Tibetans sought refuge in India, where they continue to preserve their culture while building new lives. "Exile Creations" symbolizes their journey of resilience and creativity.
Our Story
At Exile Creations Pvt Ltd, our story is one of passion, perseverance, and purpose. Founded in January 2012 by Mr. Kalden Chophel and Mr. Ngawang Tsultrim, our company is a testament to the resilience and creativity of our founders. Born from a vision of two Tibetans who sought refuge and hope not only for themselves but also for their people and driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference, we embarked on a mission to create exquisite glass artistry that celebrates craftsmanship and innovation.
Mr. Chophel was trained in glass bead making under the guidance of Lise Aagaard, founder of Trollbeads, a renowned Danish jewelry company. This ignited his passion for glass art.
Team
Initially, Exile Creations was founded with the aim of providing sustainable employment opportunities for Tibetan youth, most of whom who left their families in Tibet and were surviving alone. Over time, our mission expanded to include young people from remote villages, marginalized communities, and differently-abled individuals.

Since our inception, we have trained and provided employment to around 150 artisans from the Tibetan community and 25 artisans from the larger community. As of today, 28 artisans earn their livelihoods as part of the Exile Creations family.
