OrganicQuote··on Show HN: Koonchi – Convert Photo to Hand-Painted Painting by Artists from India
All our paintings are shipped with artist signature on it. Also a brief about the artist is mentioned in the description.

We don’t sell traditional Indian paintings, so don’t know why should we mention the connection at all between traditional Indian arts and our paintings just because the company and artists are from India.

Our apologies if you felt that it was misrepresented in our FAQs. Right now reliable world-wide shipping from India is 10x more expensive for us compared to shipping within India. So we cannot afford to offer free shipping for international customers, unless we increase product price which would be unfair for our Indian customers.

Hey thank you for the insight, but if you happen to have travelled across India you would know that India is diverse at its very core and there are no clusters (in this case a village) that is working towards a industrialized approach to its art or handicrafts, our strength still lies in its human essence. And so to answer the question the artists are as diverse as they come.

The pricing is decided by the artist, and every style is owned by an individual artist. We add percentage of commission on the base artist pricing.

Artists do recommend other artists. Most artists we come across is through artist recommendation.

When we started accepting orders 3 months ago, we started with few local artists and couple artists from different cities in India. My faith in the project became stronger and stronger as we started to talk to artists one-on-one, almost everyone was stoked about the idea and our passion, and attention to details to the project. We ended up contacting several artists pan India, some strongly resonated with our idea and so it began... We are still in process of on boarding artists, and we are constantly looking for talent. My wife has a very keen eye in spotting talent, and she also has a degree in Fine Arts so her being a co-founder in this venture helps a lot.

Fun Fact that helped us break-through with most of the artists can choose their pricing, we don't ask them to stick to certain pricing, hence artists don't feel boxed. My biggest take-away has been to never let their (artists) creative spirits cause of a certain economics of the business. We are still learning, and will know more as we progress.

Thank you so much! We are trying hard to bring as many talented artists as possible under one roof.
