Gajapati district has Saora tribal heritage — distinctive Saora wall paintings (matrilineal art tradition similar to Sohrai) plus tribal cuisine. A producer cooperative organising 40-60 Saora artisans plus a small food-processing kitchen for traditional recipes captures both heritage streams.
Capex of 6-14 lakh covers shared studio space, food-processing kitchen, packaging, and brand support. DCH (handicrafts) plus PMFME jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: design adaptation for Saora paintings, ethical tribal engagement, and shipping logistics. Start with crafts (highest unit margin); cuisine in year 2.
