The company positions itself at the intersection of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary wellness-focused living, exporting to the US, UK, Europe, and the Middle East, which already generate more than 55 % of its total business. Management plans to deepen expansion in these regions so that international sales exceed 75 % of revenue within the next three to five years. Capital will be channelled into product innovation, technology-enabled supply-chain efficiencies, and programs that uplift artisan communities; the firm highlights that artisans’ monthly earnings have grown from roughly INR 2,500 to INR 60,000, with at least one artisan receiving ESOPs. P-TAL portrays itself as a “Made in India” ambassador, aiming to scale globally while sustaining traditional craft.
