At Porisoi, every fabric tells a story—but the truest story lies in the hands, hearts, and dedication of the women who make it possible. We are more than a handloom brand; we are a collective effort of women across Assam and beyond, working together to preserve tradition, create livelihoods, and bring conscious fashion to life.
Our 70 Women Weavers: The Soul of Porisoi: The heart of Porisoi beats in the looms of 70 incredible women weavers across Assam. Each of them carries forward generations of weaving knowledge, blending age-old traditions with contemporary designs. For many, weaving is not just a skill but a lifeline—supporting their families, sending children to school, and building independence with every thread.Their artistry transforms natural fibers into timeless weaves. Every motif they create, every texture they bring alive, is infused with patience, resilience, and pride. They are the reason Porisoi exists—and thrives.
Our Women Supervisors and Coordinator: Behind the scenes, two remarkable women act as supervisors and a field coordinator. They ensure that the weaving process runs smoothly—from providing raw materials and design inputs to maintaining quality and timelines. More than managers, they are mentors and problem-solvers, constantly supporting the weavers in balancing their craft with the everyday challenges of rural life.
Our Women Interns in the City: In the city, young women interns are learning, contributing, and adding fresh energy to Porisoi. They bring digital skills, creative ideas, and new perspectives that help connect our traditional handlooms to urban customers. Their role is crucial in bridging the gap between age-old craft and modern-day demand, ensuring that Porisoi speaks to the next generation.
The Core Team: At the center of Porisoi’s vision are two women who guide the journey—the CEO and COO. As leaders, they carry the responsibility of not just running a business, but of nurturing an ecosystem where every woman involved feels valued and empowered. Their vision goes beyond profit—they dream of handloom not just as fashion, but as a movement of sustainability, dignity, and heritage.
Together, We Weave Change
From the villages where looms hum with the rhythm of tradition to the city where ideas turn into designs and strategies, Porisoi is powered by women at every level. It is this circle of strength that makes every Porisoi product more than just fabric.
When you choose Porisoi, you are not just choosing handloom—you are choosing to support a network of women who weave change every single day.
Because behind every thread, there is a woman. Behind every weave, there is a story. And behind Porisoi, there is a family of women determined to keep the loom alive.
