Khulumkha (Welcome)
In this episode, we sit down with two incredibly talented creative minds – Esther Laldiki, fashion designer and owner of the brand Infini, and Rohit Debbarma, a gifted artist, painter, and sculptor.
They recently collaborated to design the national costume for Miss Universe India 2025 Tripura contestant, Miss Khumjar Debbarma. The costume, built around the powerful motto “Thansa” (Unity), was warmly received and celebrated for its cultural depth and artistic brilliance.
