As part of a tourism initiative, led by Monica for FICCI Flo, Xception collaborated with the last remaining Cheriyal artists of Siddipet to reimagine this traditional storytelling art form. By blending heritage with function, we developed contemporary products—from pen stands to trays—while supporting the local artisan community. This effort preserves a rare craft and brings it meaningfully into today’s homes.
