The startup strives to offer a free digital platform to the local farmers, craftsmen, indigenous item manufacturers, retailers and the local entrepreneurs of the region to expand their business and reach out to the potential customers.

The North-Eastern region of India is ethnically and culturally diverse and is also among the least explored regions in India. There is a high demand for the indigenous food and beverages, agricultural products, ethnic apparels, traditional ornaments and jewellery, wooden crafts, cane and bamboo crafts, brass and bell metal crafts, recycled products, and rare seasonal natural products of this region in the global market. As such, there is a huge need to create a system that can deliver these products to the other regions of India with lowest investment and risks.
