About Impulse Social Enterprises and Empower Products
Impulse Social Enterprises (ISE) as the name suggests, is a social enterprise of like-minded individuals that help provide sustainable livelihoods for tribes in Northeast India, neighbouring states, and eventually in neighbouring countries as well.
We aim to highlight traditional skills, crafts, and lifestyles of local tribes and help them use their age-old traditions to earn a sustainable livelihood for themselves.
We started with the marketing and sale of textile-based products which are available on this website, and are made by artisans from six of the many tribes of Northeast India. have plans to expand local income opportunities through other traditional crafts, as well as eco-tourism in the area.

Our focus is socio-economic development through trade, not aid!
ISE works in partnership with various tribes, NGOs, governments, private sector companies, and startups, to achieve our goal of sustainable livelihood for all.
If you have ideas for direct or indirect partnerships or arrangements as part your corporate social responsibility, or would like to make investments in a social enterprise here, please get in touch with us. We’ll be happy to talk business with you.
Our Business Model
Since our approach to socio-economic development is trade, and not aid, the aim of our enterprise is to generate profit; not for wealth accumulation, but for the sustainability of our business model, and for maximum financial returns for our artisans.
Our final objective is to grow the Impulse Social Enterprises network, nurture the entrepreneurial spirit and inherent talents of our tribes, and effectively reach more lives in need of help.
Likewise, investors in our social enterprise are those who seek financial returns, not for themselves, but to reinvest in long-term social development.
