A Product Atlas: 100 GI-tagged products from India's women-led producer sectors.

This atlas documents 100 of India's most famous Geographical Indication (GI) tagged products, drawn overwhelmingly from sectors where women — spice sorters and graders, tea pluckers, silk reelers, embroiderers, tribal weavers and painters — do the majority of the skilled, income-generating work. Every entry is weighted toward long shelf life: dried spices, tea, rice and pulses that store for a year or more, and finished handloom, embroidery and craft goods that do not spoil at all. That bias is deliberate — it mirrors the manufacturing thesis in Hareli's model & impact plan, where extended inventory carry-over must never become a source of financial loss for the SHGs behind a product.

This is a research and inspiration library, not a live storefront: Hareli does not yet manufacture or sell these specific branded GI products, most of which are the protected output of their own named producer regions and collectives. It exists so the federation — and its partners — can study proven, women-led, low-wastage product categories when designing what Hareli's own units will make. See the methodology & sourcing notes for how this list was compiled and what should be re-verified before any public or fundraising claim is made from it.
