FTCI Delhi was previously called TRSHH – Tibetan Refugee Self Help Handicrafts. TRSHH was formed in 1981 as a Tibetan Refugee organization to promote and export of Tibetan carpets and handicrafts. From 1985, TRSHH started working in the Fair Trade circles.

In 2006, TRSHH was transformed to FTCI Delhi as it became a part of the Federation of Tibetan Cooperatives in India Limited (www.ftci.co.in).
