KhaDigi was conceptualized in 2015 when founder Umang Shridhar took part in a nation level competition - Design Sutra, which was organized by the Ministry of Textiles and National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT). In 2017, the idea blossomed to become a social startup with an aim to provide better livelihood and glory to khadi artisans, weavers, and craftsmen and create a direct dialogue between them and buyers. KhaDigi recognizes the challenges handloom craftsmen are facing and is implementing well-thought-out and strategic solutions to overcome these challenges. It is unwearying channeling its efforts to alleviate the Indian craft scene.

KhaDigi is working to achieve its aim of connecting with one million artisans by 2025 and enabling them with the latest technology of time. The intention is to bring blockchain technology in play and create an ethical ledger. This will help in keeping a record of what is produced and what is required, providing proper verification and documentation to artisan, seller, and consumers. The organization also plans to expand globally and export Khadi products to other countries, forge partnerships with giant textile retailers like Zara and H&M, who are committed to sustainable fashion and UN SDGs 2030.
