Sulakshana B Bhuyan is the birth giver (founder) of Zangfai. A native of Nagaon, a small town of Assam, married to Jaydeep Bhuyan of Guwahati, Assam, she settled to the family of Dr. Manish Chandra Bhuyan (her father in law) in the city in the year 1992. A woman of great determination, passion, style and hard work, Sulakshana started her journey as an Entrepreneur in the year 2002 and that is when Zangfai was born. A Stone unrealized of its potential was laid back when entrepreneurship wasn’t a call that everyone would have dared to make.

The birth of Zangfai in Sulakshana’s words, “It was a very naive starting. I used to wear Assamese traditional jewelry in social functions since I had a good collection of those. My father Pranab Baruah was an artist of repute in Assam who was known for his originality as a man of art and abstract. Artist Baruah took to design Assamese traditional jewelry by adding a fresh and contemporary finish to the traditional style almost 40 years back. It was like an experiment to him similar to his other experiments with various art forms. He never thought of taking it professionally though his work was highly valued by the jewellery enthusiasts.

I was lucky to be able to wear some ornaments designed by my father. I was, in fact, inspired to take it up as a profession by some of my close acquaintances as they wanted me to supply them the exact pieces of jewellery I was wearing. With a bit of hesitation, I took the call and now it is like my third child. And that is how there was a revival of the trend of wearing Assamese traditional jewelry amongst locals.”
