The Crafted story of a small town young entrepreneur revolutionizing Indian Fashion
Hindustan Bytes Media 
With The Crafted, Asif has proved one fact – Entrepreneurs are Dreamers, visionaries and problem solvers who revolutionize their dreams and vision into Reality.
They prove every problem has a solution and every solution is an opportunity to grow.
An entrepreneur always searches for problems, responds to them, and exploits them as an opportunity to bring about a revolutionary solution. Entrepreneurs are unsung heroes of our era.
Asif Ahmed Subhani was born into a family that has been in the textile industry for ages and his roots have profoundly benefited his entrepreneurial journey. He grew up in Unnao, the small town of Uttar Pradesh and holds a Master's degree in Business Administration from Pune, Maharashtra.
As he has been seeing business from childhood since the age of 4, accordingly he has got 25+ years of textile manufacturing experience and 5+ years of experience as a Digital Marketer and E-commerce Manager.
Some say "Entrepreneurs are born not made.", and some say " Entrepreneurs are made not born."
Asif proves both statements to be true. He is a born entrepreneur but his consistent learning and his problem-solving and caring attitude also made him into one.
"A true entrepreneur does not start a business for the lifestyle. He starts a journey for the challenge."
Asif's entrepreneurship journey started with the word "Care". It is "Care" that sums up the values and the philosophy of his brand "The Crafted". He has been observant of the problem women faced in finding a colour match for their costumes. The entrepreneur in him and the care he has in him as a born leader instigated him to find a solution.
The revolutionary solution this young entrepreneur came up with is a brand platform The Crafted and TCOMaC - The Crafted Online Matching Center, the World's first web app tool to facilitate women to order their matching colour cloth material from the comforts of their homes.
Starting with women bottoms like Saree Petticoat, Patiala Salwar and Plain Fabric, Asif is making TCOMaC One stop matching platform for all the product categories which people usually find difficulty in getting matching color quality product through the local market or even online.
Asif is a visionary on a mission to craft a New India that is self-reliant. He is working on women empowerment and youth education. He through The Crafted is amplifying women's voices, educating them, training and mentoring them, promoting them on various platforms, and providing them multiple employment opportunities. He is helping thousands of youth in their professional development.
"Success is a destination & failure is the vehicle you need to reach there."
Asif started his first e-commerce startup in Pune at the age of 22 after dropping out of his placements from his PG in marketing in 2015 but in just one and a half years of working the startup failed due to various reasons. But Asif has a belief that failures are vehicles to reach success.
Thus, Instead of succumbing to his failures, Asif used this failure to reach success. He learnt from the failures and kept exploring and improving his skills till he found the Crafted.
