Manufacturing unit · Inventory-heavy · Labor-intensive
The pitch
Manufactures various types of pillows and cushions using high-grade polyester fiberfill and cotton/synthetic fabrics through cutting, stitching, and stuffing processes.
B2B sales to local retail bedding stores, hospitality establishments (hotels/guest houses), and direct-to-consumer via local marketplaces. Operations involve sourcing bulk textile rolls and fiberfill, followed by precision cutting and machine stitching. Inventory management is critical due to the volume of raw materials required.
The sample cost of ₹11,11,000 covers industrial sewing machines, fabric cutting tools, stuffing machines, initial raw material inventory, and workshop setup.
