Urumala

Founded by the resilient Adivasi women of the Nilgiris, URUMALA is more than just an enterprise—it carries a story of strength, tradition, and community. At its heart, URUMALA is on a mission to empower Adivasi women, transforming them into entrepreneurs within their communities. By guiding and mentoring these women, URUMALA is not only nurturing their business skills but also inspiring future generations of leaders. With a focus on sustainability and craftsmanship, URUMALA offers an eco-friendly product range across three unique categories: 1. Personal Care 2. Home Décor & Living 3. Travel Essentials Every item in our collection is inspired by the rich heritage of the Nilgiris Biosphere—drawing from the deep connection between the forests, the mountains, and the indigenous culture of this region. Our Story: What’s in a Name? URUMALA takes its name from the traditional cloth worn by the women of the Paniya tribe, which doubles as a pouch for carrying personal treasures. Just as this cloth holds important items, our enterprise holds the promise of a better future for the women of Nilgiris. Join us in celebrating their journey—towards empowerment, entrepreneurship, and environmental stewardship.
