about us

Welcome to EXOTYQ (EXQ) — where artistry meets purpose, culture becomes commerce, and every product tells a story.

Who We Are

EXOTYQ is more than just a marketplace. We are a passionate collective dedicated to preserving, promoting, and elevating the rich heritage and extraordinary skills of artisans, artists, and farmers from India and beyond. Born from a vision by EDC Creative Tech Solutions — a 30+ year award-winning creative and technical enabler — EXQ was founded to create positive impact at scale by blending cutting-edge technology with a deep respect for tradition and craftsmanship.

Our Mission

We exist to empower creators at the grassroots, unlock new economic opportunities, and make the world’s diverse heritage accessible to conscious consumers everywhere. Every purchase on EXOTYQ is an investment in a creator’s dream, a family’s livelihood, and the preservation of cultural legacy.

What Makes Us Unique

• Curated Stories and Unique Products: Our platform celebrates not just products, but the origin stories behind them. Each item is hand-selected for authenticity, quality, and the distinct history it carries.

• Fair Trade & Direct Impact: We practice and advocate for Fair Trade. By eliminating middlemen, we ensure artisans and farmers receive a fair share of profits and recognition for their talents.

• Sustainability Rooted in Craft: Most of our makers employ natural, eco-friendly processes, turning timeless traditions into modern, sustainable solutions.

• Community and Empowerment: We are committed to inclusive growth, with a focus on empowering women, youth, and marginalized groups across rural and creative economies.

• Fusion of Tradition and Innovation: Leveraging platforms like AI-driven recommendations, immersive VR craft tours, and blockchain for authenticity, we bring ancient crafts to 21st-century markets without losing their soul.

Our Goals

• Connect artisans, artists, and farmers to global platforms for cross-border sales and recognition.

• Support creators with access to workspaces, tools, and necessary infrastructure.

• Document and share the processes, stories, and cultural significance behind every craft and creation.

• Promote collaborations between creators and contemporary designers or brands.

• Foster direct relationships with consumers, offering transparency and meaningful connections.

• Inspire future generations to value and pursue traditional crafts through mentorship, education, and community engagement.

Why We Do What We Do

Artisans are the custodians of heritage, and every handcrafted product is a bridge between the past and the future. As global markets push towards conscious consumerism, EXQ stands firm in its belief that tradition and innovation can together deliver economic, cultural, and environmental impact.
