Abstract Globalization has changed its definition from trading goods, services, and finances which deepened the connections between nations, to the flow of data between countries. This has accelerated globalization and is redefined by data flows that embody ideas, information, and innovation. Craftsmen or artisans have been a significant contributor to this new globalization, but the medium of change is yet to impact their livelihood significantly. Artisans still live in their unorganized sector, and their income is meager compared to the middleman involved in selling their handicrafts. Due to this unorganized sector, a significant shift is seen in developing countries where new generations hesitate to continue the age-old artisan tradition. This paper helps identify the mediums for artisans to boost their knowledge and trade and will also detail the various digital methods that can benefit the artisans.
