Lipsa Hembram is the first fashion designer from the Santhal community who broke all the boundaries in society to follow her passion. With no fashion family background, she dared to dream and graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Hyderabad, in fashion and apparel design. She stands as an example to illustrate her determination and hard work from small-town background to a renowned designer.

She founded the brand Galang Gabaan, which stands for "to create something out of love" in the Santhali language. She envisions her brand as a celebration of the pure sustainability of indigenous, culturally relevant textiles, incorporated into contemporary fashion, the use of which in modern attire carries the significance of tribal weaves. She celebrates, through Galang Gabaan, the beautiful artistry captured by tribes in Odisha, making designs between woven and green that speak to culture.

Lipsa Hembram, for the first time in her life, walked on a ramp at Lakme Fashion Week 2017, where she showcased tribal designs of Odisha at the national level. The collection got a lot of attention for its Santhali traditional garments and Kotpad organic textiles. This collection introduced to the fashion fraternity the rich heritage of textiles which Odisha carries and made Lipsa an ambassador for tribal fashion in mainstream design.

Lipsa's collections comprise traditional Santhali sarees along with organics from the Kotpad area of Odisha and, that too, displaying indigenous techniques of dyeing. Incorporating these fabrics in her designs helps ensure that her community's weaving traditions will become known globally while also elevating their presence in the contemporary world. It will also help ensure that they continue to thrive in contemporary fashion.

With her brand, Lipsa Hembram takes one more unique and distinctive aspect of the culture from Odisha to the world. It not only celebrates traditional weaves but also uses her work as a medium to share Santhal culture through stories. By linking traditional art with modern fashion, she proudly brings Odisha to appreciated heights in global tribal crafts.
