“A two-woman home studio in Delhi making high-quality, made-to-order 3D-printed keepsakes — built for India’s gifting culture.”
In three lines
shilp. is a women-led 3D printing studio founded by Shilpa Arora and Sonal Mathur, operating out of a home studio in Delhi.
Every piece is printed to order — from lithophane photo lamps and custom name signs to wedding favours and corporate gifting — with no inventory, no warehouses, and no resellers.
Launched in 2026, the brand serves customers across India through its direct site shilp.store, plus Amazon, Meesho, and Flipkart.
