About Kopahi
We are an AIBA Agri NE LLP brand. We work where the produce is grown, where the silk is woven, where the tea is rolled — and only there.
Milestones
Kopahi is young. Our farmer relationships are older — and that is the order we intend to keep.
2023
Founded in Jorhat with a four-person team and a single mandate: protect the geography, pay the people, tell the truth on the label.
2024
Bireswar Hazarika of Karbi Anglong signs on for Keteki Joha — a relationship that becomes the template for every farmer agreement that follows.
2024
A formal sourcing partnership with the Lakadong Turmeric Cooperative makes Kopahi a verified supply chain for one of Northeast India's most prized GI rhizomes.
2025
A small, modern processing line in Jorhat brings sorting, drying, packaging and quality testing in-house.
2025
A consignment of Lakadong turmeric and Queen pineapple leaves for a curated retailer in Tokyo — Kopahi's first shipment beyond Indian shores.
2026
Kopahi's farmer network completes its planned footprint — at least one verified cooperative in every Northeast state.
Vision
A Northeast India whose heritage is known by name on the world's most considered shelves — and whose growers are paid as if it always was.
Mission
To source, process, brand and export the GI-certified produce and craft of seven states — under one accountable spine, and at the price the people who grew it deserve.
What We Hold
Fair-price, long-horizon partnerships with grower and weaver cooperatives. Margins loop back into the soil they came from.
Only what the geography certifies. Only what the farmer signs off. Every claim is documented, never decorative.
Low-input agriculture, minimal-loss processing, and packaging built to be returned to the earth — not stored in it.
Every SKU maps back to a name, a village, a season. We publish what we know — and admit what we don't yet.
Leadership
Founder
“Heritage isn't a marketing word. It's a contract with the people who grew this knowledge before us.”
Barsha leads brand and partnerships, drawing on a decade in regional sourcing and consumer storytelling. Her aim: make Northeast craftsmanship legible globally — without flattening it.
Founder
“Every leaf has a name. Every name has a face.”
Ashreeta works on the ground with grower cooperatives across Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland. She designs the farmer-first protocols that keep Kopahi traceable end-to-end.
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.
