What worldcraft industries does

Worldcraft Industries is a privately-held designer, manufacturer, and importer of Indian and Asian-inspired furniture, textiles, and home décor accessories, founded in 1997 by Hari and Siri Darshan Khalsa. The company began as a digital procurement and quality-control intermediary sourcing handcrafted Indian furniture for Western retailers from Delhi, then relocated to Los Angeles in 2001 where it launched the Tara Home Sacred Interiors retail showroom concept, which at peak operated five locations across Southern California and Scottsdale, Arizona. The current operating model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce via worldcraftindustries.com, fulfilling from a Los Angeles warehouse with white-glove delivery.

The product portfolio centers on hand-carved hardwood furniture (canopy beds, carved pillar beds, daybeds, loveseats, ottomans, bajot tables, nightstands, dressers) made from sustainable sheesham, neem, and reclaimed teak by families of master craftsmen in Rajasthan, complemented by a soft-goods line (sari and velvet cushions, curtains, bedding, pillow covers, meditation cushions, malas) and decorative accessories (brass statues, candle holders, Kashmir mirrors, vintage pieces). Pricing spans $12.50 for accessories to $7,200 for canopy beds, with custom sizing and made-to-order pieces (6–10 month turnaround) offered. Production and procurement units extend across India, China, and Thailand.

Worldcraft monetizes primarily through one-time unit sales across its DTC website, supplemented by white-glove delivery and assembly fees, international shipping charges, and bespoke custom-design projects for entertainment industry clients (Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Academy Awards, Emmy Awards) and high-profile residential customers. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no headcount disclosed, and ownership concentrated with the founding family.
