hello dear, one of my friends close has also started her textile business from home. As she has one extra room in her house, she bought all the various stuff from direct wholesale centers and arranged them in a room. for dust-free, she arranged all the stuff in small cabinets. She kept all the varieties like kids dresses, ladies stuff, return gifts for parties, bed sheets and pillow covers etc. If you are planning outside in your area then it takes a little more in investment. as my friend started at her home she saved her lot of money. apart from this, she shared her flyer in her WhatsApp, FB groups and also uploaded everyday new lives on her youtube channels and FB pages. this way it helped her to grow her business. if you are planning for all the varieties then you might need at least 1-2 lakhs. once you get profit start investing in inventory.

It's wonderful you're considering a textile business! To begin, think about your niche: will it be traditional wear like sarees, contemporary apparel, or home furnishings? Start by researching local demand and potential suppliers. You could even begin by sourcing unique pieces and selling them from home or through online platforms like WhatsApp groups and local exhibitions to test the market without a huge upfront investment.

For investment, it varies greatly. A home-based sourcing and reselling model might need INR 50,000 to 2-3 lakhs for initial inventory and marketing. If you plan a physical store or manufacturing, the costs will be significantly higher, covering rent, machinery, and larger stock. Running costs primarily involve replenishing inventory, small marketing expenses, and logistics. Starting small allows you to understand the dynamics before scaling up, reducing risk.
