In March 2026, just months after Meghyra launched, our co-founder Dr Nandita Lyngdoh was named Entrepreneur of the Month by PRIME Meghalaya.

PRIME (Promotion and Incubation of Market-driven Enterprises) is the Government of Meghalaya’s flagship entrepreneurship programme. Since 2020 it has helped founders across the state grow with incubation, mentoring, funding and access to markets beyond Meghalaya.

The award recognised the journey behind Meghyra: a doctor and a naval officer starting from scratch, with no business background and no investors. It meant long trips to remote villages to sit with farmers, a doctor's standards for quality and safety, and gift boxes delivered on time, same day. It came with a Certificate of Achievement and a grant of ₹50,000.

This honour belongs just as much to the beekeepers and farmers whose honey and spices fill every jar. Khublei, PRIME Meghalaya, for believing in us so early.

Meghyra was selected for the Northeast Growth Lab (NEGL), a programme by IIMA Ventures, the startup incubator at IIM Ahmedabad, in partnership with SAP. The 2026 cohort is just 25 startups from across the eight northeastern states.

From that cohort, Meghyra was one of the top 12 startups awarded a grant to scale.

IIMA Ventures has backed companies like Razorpay and ideaForge. Now it's backing Meghyra's mission: premium, traceable products from Meghalaya, built for the world.

Officially recommended by Shri Wailadmiki Shylla, Hon’ble Minister, Government of Meghalaya, for Meghyra’s premium gift hampers, authentic Northeastern products, and commitment to quality, sustainability, and local entrepreneurship.

MEGHYRA products were featured at the Eastern Command Investiture Ceremony held at Umroi Military Station, Meghalaya. The premium gifting collection received appreciation from officers and commanders for its exceptional quality, thoughtful presentation, and authentic products from Meghalaya, showcasing the region’s rich natural heritage and craftsmanship.

Marking a special milestone in Meghyra’s journey, Ranjit Baja presented our thoughtfully curated products to the Hon’ble Chief Minister and Sports Minister of Meghalaya. This memorable occasion celebrated the region’s rich natural heritage, authentic local produce, and Meghyra’s vision of bringing the finest goodness of Northeast India to a wider audience.

At the Reverse Buyer-Seller Meet 2026, organised by the Government of Meghalaya, Meghyra signed an MoU with Kendor Textiles Limited, Canada, to bring our handwoven Eri silk to international markets.

Eri silk is known as "peace silk", a natural fabric made without harming the silkworm. Meghyra's pieces are handwoven by skilled artisans and finished to a premium standard. That quality, rooted in tradition and ready for the world, is what international buyers recognised in Meghyra.

Behind every thread are our 30+ farmers, artisans and weavers, and this partnership takes their craft, and Meghalaya's heritage, beyond borders.
