Guwahati: The documentary Tenzing Bodosa: The Story of a Tribal Entrepreneur took the screen at the 2026 Mumbai International Film Festival. Directed by Dr. Musukha Ramchiary, the film showcases an unlikely business model. It proves profit and nature can mix.
The film tracks Bodosa and his organic tea estate in the Udalguri district of Assam. He sits near the India-Bhutan border. He turned his land into the world's first elephant-friendly, certified organic tea estate. He keeps his gates open for herds.
Habitat loss kills wildlife. Bodosa refuses to block migration paths. He preserved forest corridors instead of building walls. The documentary highlights the man's success as a tribal entrepreneur. It frames his work as a practical guide for others. The film depicts how he "transformed challenges into opportunities through vision, perseverance, and a deep connection with the land."
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting produced the piece. It turns a local tea story into a global lesson on coexistence. The screening puts Assam in the spotlight. It shows private landholders can drive conservation efforts without sacrificing their bottom line.
