Foodwifi:
Founded in 2017 by Bickychand Khangjrakpam and Kenedy Oinam, Foodwifi is Manipur's first online food delivery startup. With no Zomato or Swiggy in sight, these two friends filled a crucial gap. Starting with orders from friends and family, they grew to handle 500 orders daily by their second year. Despite challenges like the pandemic, violence, and internet blackouts, Foodwifi remains a market leader, competing head-to-head with national giants. Remarkably, they have built a profitable, debt-free business.
PurpledTV:
Amidst the chaos in Manipur, Dustin Thangjam and Bipin Laitonjam launched Northeast India’s first multilingual OTT platform, PurpledTV. Initially a web platform, they realized the need for an app to increase distribution. With Gyanendro Khomdram joining as a co-founder, they developed the app and launched it in August 2023. Offering free content for the first year, PurpledTV now has over 3,000 users and plans to monetize through ads and subscriptions. They aim to expand their offerings to include sports live streaming by 2025.
Nibiaa Devices:
Aeroshil Nameriakpam left his job in the US to start Nibiaa Devices in Manipur, partnering with his father, Professor N. Irabanta Singh. Initially focused on agritech, they expanded to create NIBIAPLAX, a smart restaurant monitoring platform. Despite a slow start, Nibiaa Devices now serves over 70 customers across 10 countries and has established a US-based entity.
Dweller Teas:
Elizabeth Yambem returned from Singapore to start Dweller Teas in 2017, using her savings to blend traditional herbs and fruits with tea. Now, Dweller Teas operates two cafes in Manipur and sells products nationwide through their website.
Akumen AI:
Thiyam Akuvan founded Akumen AI in 2021, inspired by his uncle's vision impairment. They are developing affordable visually assistive glasses using AI and have even showcased their product to the Indian Prime Minister. Additionally, they are working on a low-cost 3D-printed bionic arm for amputees.
Imphal Machines:
Dayanidhi Huidrom started Imphal Machines in 2019 to manufacture food processing machinery tailored to local needs. Despite initial struggles, they now serve around 30 clients and generated significant revenue before the recent crisis.
Maraah - Roots of the Soul:
Swati Thounaojam founded Maraah in 2022 to create sustainable lifestyle products from water reed grass. Despite contemplating shutdown during the state crisis, Maraah is rebuilding and empowering local artisans.
Locomotion Healthcare:
Founded by Dr. Athokpam Johnson Luwang and Athokpam Yogen, Locomotion Healthcare provides customized artificial limbs and orthopedic devices. Their clinic in Imphal has already helped over 100 customers, reducing the need for out-of-state travel.
Hill Wild:
Based in Ukhrul, Zeinorin Stephen Angkang and her partner started Hill Wild in 2017, transforming a chocolate-making hobby into a business. Today, they offer a range of products made from wild flora, working with 200 farmers to support the local economy.
Lengliim:
John Thangminlun and Florence Lamkhongai Haokip founded Lengliim in 2021 in Churachandpur, selling furniture and electronics. Despite initial rejections, they bootstrapped their business and now serve over 2,000 households. They plan to expand to other cities in the future.

I am from Manipur and to be honest about startup in Manipur
Many people will try to break you down coz I can say that some people will always watch your growth
See I cant tell you straight but this is the reality
We have to pay 5 times for taxes to these people just for us to survive and its even more harder to export or import products from here unless its done on flight

Nice show. Beautiful State. Sadly it has been ignored for many years. Thankyou
So nice to see that most of these startups are genuinely helping people.
A state that can be flourished peacefully with such bright minds have been destroyed by the greedy folks from outside but despite of it we can surely rise up to the glory of all!

Manipur needs to be united and violence free again , it has a very beautiful culture and location , connecting India with Myanmar and South-east Asia.
Agree but that is only possible when porous border are shield and block illegal immigrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh. They destroying the law and order, forest and local market. If only Indian government listen native people of Manipur this violence could have been avoided. Common people in Manipur want peace but politics from within the country and from outside is making it impossible.
I agree but the only solution is SA Separate Administration,if not I don't think Meite will step foot in KukiLand,the only way they and last option for cross 700sq miles by Flight.
@@sjsvilliangaming6280 well Kuki illegal immigrants should go back to Myanmar than peace will return in Manipur automatically. They not only infiltrate inside the Indian territory but UA-cam comments section also. Time to tackle this menace hoax imposter.
@@sjsvilliangaming6280 Tell these to your so called heroes who is looting the highway in the name of protecting you but in reality they are looting us all
We sense movement in the Imphal airport but we ignored it because when we think deep what is the benefit of killing innocent people but if you hv that mindset don't think we will not turn the table@@sjsvilliangaming6280
I'm from Manipur and Startup Hit Me hard, I was in my final year of my college life in 2022, I had some saving so I decided to start a business which will help the Local unemployed youths so I applied for startup India but End up ending as a scam, I got approved it was in the third stage but startup loan never come to my Account instead of getting startup loan I end up paying them I had to pay some amount for the loan as a young Entrepreneur it hit me hard...
The rest is history...
I will never forget that Meitei guy who scammed me my early Adulthood when we live the particle Life finding jobs, depression,Careers.. after finishing with theoretical bookish knowledge
Be careful, there are many scams these days.

Let me be frank, there is a massive support for Startups in India and you did not mention a single time that Startup India exists except first demographic. It gives grants, debt free funding etc to qualifying startups which have a good product or plan. So GoI directly supports the startup culture irrespective of where you are. I am part of 4 such startups and we have raised over 2 crore.
Hi Dejikay, we always ask founders in our questionnaire for these Top 10 videos about the capital they have raised, be it VC, grants (government-issued or otherwise), or debt. If we have not mentioned specific grants in the video, it isn't because we're trying to hide the fact that they raised grants - it is simply because either 1. the startup has not availed any such grants, or 2. they did not tell us about it.
Watch our most recent Shark Tank India video, where we specifically called out the fact that Qzense Labs raised Rs. 50 lakh through the BIRAC BIG Grant scheme from GOI: ua-cam.com/video/NMvB8oLiDlg/v-deo.htmlsi=y5PbSMq1yQLWeWRN&t=733 timestamps is 12 minutes 13 seconds. Qzense specifically asked us to include this detail because it was something they were proud of and wanted the world to know about.
Also, unfortunately in NE India lack of awareness about these grants is a major issue. There's a lot of capital to be grabbed, but not enough people choose to grab it! It also doesn't help that many startups in this region of the country opt to keep a low profile and not register themselves as startups under DPIIT. This is something ecosystem spokespeople are trying to change through awareness campaigns, but the choice for many is to continue operating with personal bank accounts/cash/tribal business entity structures to reduce taxation (and in some states, e.g. Nagaland, extortion). I personally hope to see this change in the coming years so that NE can really thrive within India's national startup ecosystem. -Caleb
@dejikay2564 Yes you are right about the support from StartUp India and GOI along with the help from the State Govt.
But what happens is that the beneficiaries of such support are usually usually orthodox businesses which have business collateral with hardly any use of modern technological innovation like chicken and pork poultry, diary, local grocery stores etc, while almost all the startups featured in this video are all bootstrapped using personal savings and taking loan from family and friends. Since these startups don't have any business collateral and only an idea in their mind was they have to start the business, they are usually rejected from various startup and business schemes and loan proposal which might have helped to develop their products at the initial stage.
Since the tech startups are funding to start their own businesses, it became really hard for them due to cash crunch at first, making them lose months and years to complete even the trial first version of their products mainly due to huge cash crunch, and This evenTually leads to Manipur lagging behind in the race of development of tech startups but Manipur.
Later on, when these tech startups survived all odds and are ready to with the products, they are now accepted for getting financial support from the schemes of GOI na state govt, but still the conditions provided to the startups were usually not feasible and sometimes the support fund amount are usually not upto that much to scale their businesses. Apart from this, their is no relaiable angel investment group or VC firms that can back this startups.
Lastly, I want to say that, the GOI and their schemes are being implemented in Manipur but the problem is the stakeholders in Manipur who are responsible for execution these programmes and skills lacks proper knowledge of how to groom the new generation tech startups, which is one of the major reasons, most of these startups haven't mentioned about it, and also their supports are mostly from incubators, accelerators, angel investment networks and VC firms from outside of Manipur which they have researched using their own expertise and knowledge.
Make a video on tripura startups
Working on this! 🙂 -Caleb

The last start up must have been funded by popy money
We need starts up that brings in money from other countries and states..
Can you please make a Noida specific video?
Good idea! Although I feel the companies may be very big and well-known. -Caleb

I wanna start a business here in manipur but i don't have any idea
Yo
I have started my own gaming channel and is already monetise, does it consider as a self startup ?
No
Start-up will be registered in government schemes
12:03 did you mention "Ooty" from TamilNadu?
Yep! Some of the best chocolate in India is made there. -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires Well, I'm from tamilnadu, they way you pronounced "Ooty" was different, that's why I made a confirmation 😅.
Food wifi is the worst, took my money and didn't deliver the food....i complained multiple times but did not get a refund. I've never had such a bitter experience.
How is someone that is not from India interested in a state that our own country has been ignoring since times unknown
Where is manipur?

Manipur 🫡
Brother , my name is Thangminlun Haokip too, and the way you pronounce is so cute. Actually, a week ago Khokhon , a rooftop industry was established in Lamka, Ccpur. Hoping it grows too❤
Hopefully the pronunciation wasn't too bad 😅 the founder actually shared the pronunciation with me on WhatsApp, but it's hard to emulate without the fundamental understanding of the language.
Looking forward to seeing the Manipur startup ecosystem bounce back! -Caleb
