MeMeraki is an Indian culture-technology company founded in 2019.[1][2] It is headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana, India.[3][4]

History

MeMeraki was founded in 2019 by Yosha Gupta as a "digital platform" connecting traditional Indian artisans with broader audiences.[5][6]

Prior to founding MeMeraki, Gupta launched a cashback platform "LafaLafa" in 2014. It was mentioned in Gadgets 360’s coverage of Indian startup funding activity in 2016.[7][8]

In January 2026, MeMeraki and its team appeared in Shark Tank India season 5 and secured Rs. 1 crore.[9][10] It also received an undisclosed institutional funding from "Next Bharat Ventures", the impact investment arm backed by Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan.[11]

The company brought together many craft traditions of India including the Kalamkari traditions of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, along with the Mata Ni Pachedi tradition of Gujarat.[12]
