Mumbai, June 27, 2015:
India is a land of diverse cultures, the more we discover the more we are in awe of its beauty! Northeast India is one such part of the Indian subcontinent that houses an enormous amount of beauty.
While the natural beauty of this region can be explored only through travelling, the fashion, food and artifacts aren’t that far anymore! In fact, in a bid to bring the Northeast closer to you, a group of individuals today launched an online platform called giskaa.com where you can buy products from all the eight Northeastern States – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura.
For people who haven’t been to the northeast of India but are curious to know about the culture, GISKAA is like a goldmine. www.giskaa.com is an exclusive online marketplace for products sourced exclusively from the Northeast. It is also a platform for artisans from the Northeast to professionally showcase their products and promote them among a large mainstream Indian audience.
The majority of the products are handmade and eco-friendly items around fashion, home décor and office accessories which are exclusively available only on giskaa.com. Products like, kids clothing fabric, handmade footwear, baskets, tableware and others at a very reasonable cost. The online marketplace also includes a range of exciting ethnic food & beverage items from the region including mouth-watering pickles, dried vegetables, herbs and spices that are only available on giskaa.com.
Speaking on the occasion, the co-founder and CEO of GISKAA, Meghanath Singh said, “It gives me immense pleasure to announce the launch of www.giskaa.com, through which the audience of the larger Indian Diaspora will be able to connect and apprehend the rich and varied cultural and traditional heritage the Northeast has to offer.” He further added that “Northeast India remains largely unexplored especially by people who don’t belong to any of the eight states – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim. It is perhaps the geographical location of the Northeast that isolates it from the rest of the country. As such, many remain unaware of the rich Northeast culture and heritage. It was possibly this thought and the want to integrate the Northeast into the mainstream Indian culture that led us to come up with a platform called GISKAA, an online store.” CCI Newswire
