The facility will be of help especially to those entrepreneurs who are located away from Guwahati.
The product categories will include handloom and handicraft products, non-perishable food products as well as MSME products.

The initiative will help in creation of new entrepreneurs, too, especially to those women�s groups/individuals who are producing various products at home and are looking for an opportunity to showcase their products in a proper marketing platform.
