The Art of Assam. The Soul of Silk.
Woven in Heritage. Made to Be Treasured.
Rooted in Sualkuchi, Assam, Maa Hiya Silk Factory brings together the richness of Assamese textile heritage, the experience of its founder and the dedication of the people behind every creation.
Founded by Tapan Baishya, whose experience spans over four decades, our business is guided by a deep respect for silk, traditional craftsmanship and the livelihoods connected to its production.
From elegant Pat silk Mekhela Chadors to the distinctive beauty of Muga and other traditional Assamese textiles, our collection celebrates a heritage that deserves to be cherished, worn and passed on.
For us, silk is more than a garment. It is a connection to our roots, an expression of culture and a reflection of the hands and knowledge that bring every piece to life.

A Heritage Rooted in Experience
Every enduring business begins with a purpose. At Maa Hiya Silk Factory, that purpose is to share the beauty of Assamese silk while creating opportunities for the people who contribute to its making.
With over 40 years of experience, founder Tapan Baishya brings knowledge, perspective and a lasting commitment to the business. Rooted in Sualkuchi, our journey reflects a belief that traditional craftsmanship should continue to have a meaningful place in modern life.
Our work brings together skilled local weavers and other workers who contribute to the production process. Their time, knowledge and dedication are an essential part of what we do. We believe the value of a garment extends beyond its appearance to include the people and skills behind it.
Today, we continue to build on these principles by offering a thoughtful selection of Assamese silk products, colours and designs, along with personalised assistance for customers seeking something suited to their preferences.
As we grow, our purpose remains unchanged: to bring Sualkuchi silk to more people without losing sight of the heritage and human effort that give it meaning.
Sualkuchi — Where Silk Becomes Heritage
Sualkuchi is one of Assam’s most recognised silk-weaving centres, with a rich association with traditional handloom craftsmanship. Its weaving culture forms an important part of the region’s identity, connecting generations through skill, dedication and textile artistry.
For Maa Hiya Silk Factory, Sualkuchi is more than our place of business. It is the foundation of our story.
Assamese textiles such as the Mekhela Chador and Gamosa hold a special place in the state’s cultural life. Pat silk is valued for its refined character, while Muga is celebrated for its distinctive natural golden appearance and cultural significance.
These traditions represent more than fabric and design. They carry memories, occasions, identity and a sense of belonging.
We are proud to be rooted in a place where weaving remains closely connected to community and culture. Through our work, we aim to help more customers discover and appreciate the enduring beauty of Assamese silk.
The Hands Behind Every Creation
Behind every garment is the contribution of people whose skill and effort make the finished product possible.
At Maa Hiya Silk Factory, we value the local weaving partners and workers who contribute throughout production. Their work is an important part of our identity and our connection to Sualkuchi’s textile tradition.
We believe preserving craftsmanship also means recognising the people who sustain it. Supporting local livelihoods and respecting their contribution are not separate from our business; they are part of the purpose behind it.
Our commitment is to keep this human connection at the heart of what we do, bringing traditional textiles to customers while recognising the people who help bring them to life.
Every weave carries a craft. Every creation carries the effort of the people behind it.
Beauty, Backed by Care
A beautiful textile deserves thoughtful attention and honest representation.
At Maa Hiya Silk Factory, we understand that choosing silk involves trust. Customers should feel confident about the product they select, its description and the care taken in presenting it.
Our Pat silk is tested by the Sualkuchi Silk Testing Laboratory. We consider this testing an important part of our commitment to product authenticity, while ensuring that testing claims are associated with the relevant products and documentation.
Our approach is guided by four principles:
Authenticity
Representing our textiles as accurately as possible, with product details that reflect the actual material.
Attention to detail
Giving care to product presentation, finishing and order accuracy.
Transparency
Helping customers understand available designs, colours, specifications and customisation options.
Trust
Building lasting relationships through honest communication and attentive service.
We believe quality is not simply a statement. It is a responsibility reflected in the way a product is represented and the experience a customer receives.

OUR VISION
