Produce high‑quality zari‑silk embroidered fabrics for home décor, apparel, and gifting items using a small‑scale embroidery machine and skilled artisans.
Local boutique retailers, online marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart), wholesale to interior designers and corporate gifting agencies, direct sales at craft fairs. Set up a 200 sq ft workshop, hire 2 skilled embroiderers, maintain a raw material inventory of silk and zari, run 5 shifts per week, and implement a simple inventory management system to track stock and sales.
₹10,85,000 covers purchase of a semi‑automatic zari‑silk embroidery machine, loom, raw silk and zari thread inventory, workshop setup (electricity, ventilation, storage), initial working capital and basic office equipment.
