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. Together with Mr. Tsultrim, they founded Exile Creations Pvt Ltd, with a vision to empower artisans and create sustainable employment opportunities.
Over the years, our company has grown from humble beginnings to become a beacon of hope and empowerment for our artisans. We take great pride in our commitment to fair trade practices, ensuring that a portion of our team comprises individuals from marginalized backgrounds and differently abled individuals. With every meticulously crafted piece, we not only showcase the beauty of craftsmanship but also support the livelihoods of our talented artisans
As we continue our journey, we remain dedicated to promoting ethical manufacturing practices and making a positive impact in our community. Join us as we weave together tradition and innovation, one exquisite creation at a time.
