Our Story

Art brings great joy in every human being. It provides a means to express the imagination that is not tied to the formality of spoken or written language. It’s a form of communication. They bring out a particular emotion or mood for the purpose of relaxation or entertainment. It often is considered therapeutic for the artist as well as for the viewer.

KobSook mission is to bring more creativity into the world. It is a space for talented differently abled Artists where they joyously create art and express themselves. KobSook in Buddhism means ‘A person with a happy heart and compassion’. KobSook is an Indian brand with purpose. Our vision is to create a niche brand by focusing on Artist Designed products like footwear and bags.

The company collaborates with differently -abled youth through Aims Media and empowers these remarkable young artists to display their creative abilities in the form of digital art. This digital art is further recreated on canvas shoes and bags. The dream is simple, to provide these Artists an equivalent status as that of the prevalent and generate sustainable employment opportunities. Every product of KobSook is limited-edition which is colourful, funky and very comfy. Every constituent of our product, from the sole to the thread connecting the fabric, is 100% made in India. In the process, our honest endeavour is generating employment, encouraging skills development and entrepreneurship and contributing to the larger National dream of “Make in India” and offering quality products to our customers. We aim to make you look exclusive by offering the most unique collection of fashion. We ensure our every patron of art walks with Joy.

“There is no need to go out of the way to make them feel special but simply not treating them differently does the trick. We at KobSook believe that they should be given a chance to showcase their aptitude and accomplishment to yield recognition and inclusion in the society on their own merit. We hope to contribute by providing them a platform to be self-sufficient and an equivalent status as that of the prevalent.”

Arpana Kundu,
Mother of Raunaq Kundu

I am a mother of an ASD son who is 17 years old now and is non-verbal with loads of Challenging behavioural issues. I always wanted my son to be involved in vocational activities. So, I enrolled him into Multimedia Basic and later Advanced course of AIMS Media. After finishing the course, KobSook offered the first Paid Project to this Multimedia Workstation and motivated the whole Multimedia team to work hard and give their best to finish the Project and earn revenue. Many many thanks to KobSook for having belief in the Workstation team’s capabilities and raising their self-confidence and dignity by getting paid for their work.

 

Bhuvana Ramakrishnan,
Mother of Anjana Krishnan

We are extremely Thankful for the opportunity provided by KobSook, for my daughter to further explore her drawing and designing skills and launching her skills to wider audience. As parents of a person with Autism, we were in search of opportunities to showcase her talents and skills to a wider arena, KobSook offered her paid internship in recognition of her talent and encouraged to explore more by transforming her designs to actual utility products. KobSook is a setting an example for practicing diversity in the job market, by providing equal opportunities to the less recognized artists with disabilities.

Barnali Bharat,
Mother of Sulagna Bharat

I always feared whether Sulagna could ever fit into the working network. KobSook has been kind enough to engage her, appreciating her talent and encouraging her to let her creative juices flow. Salary is not everything, but yes being worth enough to getting paid for your art is an honor at another level. Thank you, KobSook.

Geetha Bhatt,
Mother of Deeksha Bhatt

As a mother Deeksha, it gives me so much joy to see she putting her art out there in the world. Deeksha is a painter, a dancer and a teenager with a learning difference. Thank you for helping her sustain through doing what she loves the most!
