Industrialists of Meghalaya<\/strong><\/p>\n

The natural beauty of Meghalaya with the wettest inhabited place in the world (Mawsynram), living root bridges and rich limestone and Coal resources strongly influence the business ideas in Meghalaya. Cement industry in the state of Meghalaya is based on large limestone deposits, Lakadong turmeric (highest curcumin content in the world above 7 %), ginger, tourism and a growing IT industry with headquarters at Shillong.<\/p>\n

The Khasi and Garo are matrilineal communities that have maintained a long history of trade, with unique business practices among women. The Bangladesh border in Meghalaya (Dawki-Tamabil) is a gateway through which a considerable quantity of limestone and cement is exported to the growing construction industry in Bangladesh. The city of Shillong is emerging as the second IT city in Northeast India after Guwahati, drawing IT Service and BPO firms.<\/p>\n
