I met a founder on X. Now we're business partners. We're manufacturing pocket fans for them. And this is the 5th product we are Indianising from X. We reverse-engineered the moulds and PCB in-house (only a few components are imported). Our goal is simple: reduce dependency on imports and build as much as possible in India. The pilot run started at just 50 units/day. We always start small to validate quality, performance, and uncover problems early - before scaling production. We'll gradually ramp up to 1,000 units/day. In manufacturing, your first shipment decides whether a customer comes back for the next 100,000 units. That's how manufacturing grows. If you're looking for a trusted B2B OEM manufacturing partner for consumer products in India, let's get in touch. Link in the comments.

Disgusted at the zero empathy posts mocking people in UAE and Middle East. My mother, sister, and extended family are in Dubai, I myself am a UAE resident These countries have given countless Indians real opportunities to build lives, careers and futures. They have shown us love and respect and given millions the chance to flourish and send money back home. Hard working expats without a doubt love Bharat more than crab mentality, jealous, insecure, good for nothings sitting safe behind a screen talking shit and cracking jokes about missiles and chaos. Mocking any human suffering is low. Be better, show decency, or shut up. if you can’t do even that then GO FUCK YOURSELVES. Praying hard for all in the Middle East. Be safe, be strong. This too shall pass

The customer can use your product in the wrong way. That doesn't mean the customer is wrong. Our first batch of hand mixers sold out. With almost zero customer complaints. But we noticed something interesting. Many customers were using it to mix large quantities of atta. More than what the product was originally designed for. The motor would get hot and trip. Technically, that's abnormal use. But customers don't care about what's written in the manual. They care about getting the job done. So instead of telling customers to change their behavior... We changed the product: - More copper in the motor - More power - Higher temperature tolerance That's how manufacturing works. You don't wait for 100 complaints. You improve after the first signal. Every batch should be better than the last.

We won. Banks are now using the words we started. "Screwdriver India." "Assembled in India." A few years ago, nobody talked about this. Today, even ads are saying it. That means people are starting to see the difference: Making in India vs Assembling in India. This is only the beginning. Now we need to make even more noise. Create more awareness. Talk about import substitution. Fund Indian manufacturing. Build in Bharat. Kotak Mahindra Bank

Indian manufacturers focus on cost. Chinese manufacturers focus on speed. Indian manufacturers wait for orders. Chinese manufacturers build before orders come. China is better than India not just because of their policy. It's because of the way: Chinese factories think and work. Here are 10 lessons that Indian manufacturers can learn from China: 🧵👇🏻

Biggest difference I noticed between many Indian & Chinese factories: CLEANLINESS. Today I visited a small family workshop making electric suitcases. Tiny setup. But spotless floors, organized tools, clear workflow. And this isn’t a special case. I’ve seen even smaller factories here run with discipline. There are 1000s of such units across China. Factory size matters less than operating standards and mindset. Clean systems build strong businesses.

When my business picks up, I think: "Let's buy land & machines." "Let's hire more people." "Let's expand." Then suddenly things slow down. We think: "Good thing we didn't spend the money." But maybe that's backwards. Maybe it slowed down because we didn't expand. So what is it: Build first, then grow? Or grow first, then build? Every time business takes off, I have this argument with myself.

Why is China ahead of the World? I'll tell you WHY. I took a train Hong Kong → China at 8:20 AM. By 11, I was at my 1st factory for a meeting. Had my Lunch, then the second factory by 1:30 PM. 3:00 → third factory. 4:30 → fourth factory. By 6:30 PM, back on the train to Hong Kong. 🇭🇰 3 cities, 4 factories, 1 day. ✅ This works because of: - insane infrastructure, - tight ecosystems - train connectivity, and - factories being super prepared. Everything is ready for discussion. Quick in and out. You can’t measure this kind of productivity… until you experience it yourself.

Our Desi manufactured clip fan is now #1 on Amazon Best Sellers in its category. In just 1 month. We have out ranked all major old established brands. Each and every other fan on this top sellers list is imported from China.🇨🇳 We are the ONLYFANS of BHARAT😉 People keep saying India cannot manufacture world-class products. This is proof we can. Quality, execution and intent counts. This fan is a tiny example of what Bharat can do when we decide to build instead of import. India can and will be #1 if done right. Let's build it here. 🇮🇳💪🏽

This fan was 100% imported from China. Now we've made it in India. 🇮🇳 In Jan 2025, I ordered this Chinese clip fan from Amazon. I wanted to understand why India wasn't making them. So we reverse-engineered it. Indianised it. Built it here. And put it back on Amazon. Today: 1,000+ sold in a few weeks. #1 SELLING clip fan on Amazon India. And the ONLY MADE IN INDIA clip fan on the platform Lesson: Indian manufacturing can win in categories everyone assumes belong to China.

We bought 4 new machines right before the war hit. Everyone said we were idiots. Then we had to shut down for 15 days. Because we had zero orders. Today? All 4 machines run 24/7 in 3 shifts non-stop. The situation is such that we've to turn businesses away. From 0% to "sorry, we're full." That's manufacturing. One day nothing. Next day everything. The worst timing became the best decision we ever made.

We're turning Chinese imports into Indian products. Here's how: - Plastic parts: Made in India - Springs: Made in India - PCB & Motor: Coming soon - Only battery & magnet left from China 100K+ fans stopped from entering India. And that’s just the beginning. 1,000s more products need to be replaced. Build in Bharat. 🇮🇳

You pay ₹1-2 Lakh/year in School Fee. Yet, your child gets: • Rote learning (zero critical thinking) • Meaningless Holiday Homework • No Real World Experience So here’s what we’ve decided: We’re opening our factory (Silvassa) for school visits. Let kids see, touch, ask: real learning, not just theory. Interested schools: DM us to schedule a visit.

Started my manufacturing unit with ₹1 Cr. But, I also know people who started with just ₹10 Lakhs and scaled 2–5x in 5 years. Money isn’t the roadblock. What you really need is this: • A huge market (we have 1.5B people) • An idea (1000s of imports need to be replaced) • A commercial + technical guy with skin in the game • Patience to push through bad days • Networking (show up, be out there) • Some capital to risk (₹10L–₹50L to start, scale later) • Investors once you prove yourself Capital is fuel. But execution is the engine.

Our business got wiped out overnight. Because of the war, we lost our orders in Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait. We went from a full order book to almost nothing. We had to do something to survive. So we started from scratch. For years, we avoided the Indian domestic mixer market because of: - Too much price cutting - Bad payment culture - Low quality expectations But when you’re backed into a corner, excuses don’t matter. So we pitched to countless desi OEM's And this month, we’re supplying 10,000 mixers domestic brands. The biggest surprise: We got the customers in line with our quality, our pricing, and our payment terms. The crisis didn’t just force us to find new business. It forced us to build a second business. And when the Middle East markets fully reopen, we’ll have two growth engines instead of one. Sometimes losing your biggest market is exactly what forces you to build a stronger company.
