Laila Tyabji is Chairperson & founder member of DASTKAR, an NGO working with Crafts & Craftspeople in 25 states all over India. Laila's work with artisans includes the chikan workers of SEWA Lucknow, Lambani tribals in Karnataka, and ari, sozni, mirror-work, and kantha craftswomen in Kashmir, Kutch, Bihar and Bengal. Many of her most rewarding projects involve creating new employment avenues through craft for pastoral and marginalised rural communities - bonded labour in Bihar, displaced villages in Ranthambhore, tribals in Orissa, victims of insurgency in Kashmir.

She received the Emerging Artist Award from FICA in 2007 and the Inlaks Scholarship for the UNIDEE in Residence at Cittadellarte, Fondazione Pistoletto, Biella, Italy in 2006.
