AIBA Agri NE LLP
Bringing Northeast India's GI-certified heritage to the world's discerning tables.
Our Story
Kopahi was born in Jorhat, between mist-soaked tea gardens and the patient hands of weavers whose looms have been quiet for too long. We are not a startup that discovered Northeast India. We are of it.
Across seven sister states, we work with farmer and weaver cooperatives growing what the rest of the world calls rare — Lakadong turmeric, Joha rice, Muga silk, Bhut Jolokia, Judima — and what their families have always called dinner, dowry, daily life.
Our promise is simple. We protect the geography. We pay the people. We tell the truth on every label.

Director · Operations
“Quality is not what we promise on a label — it's what we refuse to ship.”
Trideep runs processing, logistics and export readiness. His obsession with the unglamorous middle of the value chain is what lets Kopahi stand behind every shipment.
Director · Sales & Marketing
“We are not here to sell more. We are here to sell better.”
Prakash leads B2B and international markets. He chooses partners the way a tea-taster chooses a flush — slowly, carefully, with a long memory.
