Aggregate Bodoland's eri (ahimsa) silk weavers into one finished, branded label sold to conscious-fashion and home-textile buyers who pay a premium for non-violent, traceable silk. The wedge is finishing and brand, not weaving.

Udalguri sits in Bodoland's eri-silk heartland, where households rear cocoons and weave on backstrap and frame looms but sell raw cocoon, yarn, or unfinished cloth at the bottom of the chain. This venture builds directly on the district's eri-silk cocoon-and-fabric base and its sericulture-and-handloom workforce, and captures the live gap: raw cocoon moving to finished, branded fabric and apparel. The operator runs a small finishing line — degumming, scouring, dyeing with controlled fastness, and tailoring — then builds a tight SKU set (stoles, shawls, drapes, cushion covers) under one traceable eri brand. Eri's natural appeal is that it is spun from open-ended cocoons, so it markets honestly as ahimsa silk to D2C wellness-fashion and conscious-home buyers, plus design-house wholesale. The real constraint is finishing consistency: dye-lot uniformity, shrinkage control, and reliable supply from dispersed weaver households need patient quality discipline, and margins only appear once the brand earns repeat buyers — the kept payback reflects that ramp. Buyers: urban D2C, boutique exporters, and curated home-textile retail.
