The pitch

Produce printed textile garments and accessories using screen printing technology on pre‑washed fabrics.

Small apparel brands, local boutiques, and online marketplaces (e.g., Flipkart, Amazon Fashion) through direct sales and wholesale contracts. Set up 3 printing stations with dedicated QC at each station, maintain inventory of screens and inks, and use a simple ERP for order tracking and inventory control.

₹9,35,000 sample cost covers a 10×10 m plant setup, screen printing press, power supply, drying racks, 3–4 printing stations, initial inventory of blank fabrics, inks, screens, and basic office equipment.

Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Local retail shoppers and wholesale cloth-market traders are the usual buyers; institutional uniforms are a secondary path for some lines.

Channels

  • Retail shops
  • Wholesale cloth markets
  • B2B / bulk orders
Seasonality
Festival peaks
Wedding and festival seasons commonly lift apparel demand; lean months need design or wholesale buffers.
Locality
City / region
Many units sell into the nearest city cloth market as well as local retail — pure village-only retail is tighter.

Demand watch-out: Fashion and price competition are brutal; demand only sticks if you lock repeat wholesale or a clear niche.
