Be The Wind

Responsibilities:

• Build and manage direct relationships with Manipuri producers and artisans
• Negotiate fair pricing and terms that genuinely benefit producers, not just margin
• Own the product line's visual identity and brand presentation
• Oversee quality control and provenance verification
• Lead go-to-market strategy for the line

Requirements:

No fixed background or credential required. What matters is a genuine interest in Manipuri craft and fair-trade production, a clear and honest reason for why this work matters to you, and the willingness to learn whatever you don't yet know. If you can make the case for why you're right for this, not through a CV alone but through how you think and you're prepared to prove it with quality work every day, that is more than enough. Based in or willing to relocate to Imphal.

To apply: share an idea in this field that you believe is genuinely worth pursuing, something you don't think anyone has tried before, along with a brief description of who you are, to hello@eastwind.social

Requirements:

No specific degree or academic background required. What matters is a real interest in the history of the region, a clear and reasoned case for why you're the person to pursue it, and the acumen to build the expertise you don't yet have through the work itself, alongside the honesty to publish what the evidence actually shows, even where it complicates East Wind's own story.

To apply: send a brief note describing your idea for this research, and how you think it could actually be carried out in Manipur, to hello@eastwind.social

Requirements:

Currently enrolled student status; a genuine interest in the field you propose. No prior experience in that field required.

If you are under 18, please let us know who will be accompanying you, whether a parent, a teacher, or a sibling, alongside written or confirmed permission from your family and your institution to travel.
