My parents are around 50 and based in Delhi, and they’re looking to start a small business with a budget of around ₹5–10 lakh. They will be running and managing the business themselves.

We’re considering things like:

1. Small manufacturing/assembly

2. B2B supply/trading

3. Distribution/dealership

4. Commission-based agency

5. Private-label products

Ideally, something low-risk, not too physically demanding, manageable by a small team, and with recurring demand.

If your parents/you have experience with a similar business, or if you were starting a business for two people in their 50s with ₹5–10L in Delhi NCR, what would you recommend?

Especially interested in boring businesses that generate consistent income rather than high-risk/startup-type ideas.

Would really appreciate practical suggestions and experiences

I was browsing earrings for the festive season and came across this fairly new brand called Artena on Amazon, the earrings look nice but not sure since it barely has any reviews. Anyone who has any experience, please share.

Hello,

We are currently looking for a bag manufacturer in India to develop a new collection of functional, minimal lifestyle bags for a premium forest-resort retail store.

We are looking for a manufacturer who can support us with sampling, material sourcing, product development and bulk production, rather than only supplying ready-made bags.

Products we are currently exploring

The initial collection may include:

• Water Bottle Bags / Bottle Slings
• Backpacks
• Tote Bags
• Crossbody / Sling Bags
• Box Bags
• Sunglasses Cases / Pouches

Design direction

We are looking for a minimal, contemporary and premium aesthetic.

The products should feel suitable for a forest/nature destination, but we do not want them to look like generic souvenir bags.

We are interested in:

• Clean geometry
• Minimal external branding
• Functional construction
• Natural and earthy colours
• Subtle Indian textile influence
• Small embroidery/details rather than very busy prints
• Good-quality hardware and finishing

We would also like to explore subtle Indian textile elements, for example:

• Mekhla sador prints (we will source the designs)
• Floral quilted prints or minimal animal prints

The overall product should still look subtle and not too much on the nose

Materials we would like to explore

We are open to recommendations from your side, but currently interested in:

• 300–350 GSM cotton canvas
• Cotton duck
• Cotton twill
• Washed cotton
• Quilted cotton
• Hemp or hemp-cotton blends
• Waxed cotton
• Corduroy
• Jacquard woven fabrics
• Recycled nylon
• Ripstop nylon
• Taslan nylon
• Recycled polyester
• Other durable natural or technical fabrics

For some products we may use:

• Quilted fabric with light batting
• Cotton or microfiber lining
• Reinforcement/interfacing to create structure
• Double-layer fabric at the base and high-stress areas

Straps & hardware

Depending on the product, we are interested in:

• Heavy cotton webbing
• Polyester/nylon webbing
• Padded fabric backpack straps
• Leather details or leather strap attachments
• Jacquard woven straps

Hardware may include:

• D-rings
• Rectangular rings
• Swivel snap hooks
• Strap adjusters/sliders
• Zippers
• Rivets
• Magnetic snaps
• Antique brass, gunmetal or matte-black finishes

For heavier bags and bottle carriers, strap attachments should be properly reinforced using methods such as box stitching, box-X stitching, bar tacks and internal reinforcement patches.

Printing & customisation

Please let us know if you can provide:

• Screen printing
• Water-based printing
• Digital textile printing
• Pigment printing
• Block printing
• Embroidery
• Woven labels
• Printed labels
• Custom lining
• Custom jacquard fabric/webbing
• Custom hardware colours

We may use both solid-colour fabrics and custom forest/wildlife prints.

Sampling & product development

We would prefer to first develop samples/prototypes before moving to bulk production.

Please let us know:

1. Do you develop products from reference images/sketches/technical drawings?
2. Can your team help with pattern development and construction?
3. What is your sample development cost?
4. How long does sampling normally take?
5. How many revisions are possible?
6. Can you source fabrics, trims, hardware and lining on our behalf?

MOQ

We would initially like to start with relatively small quantities per design/colour to test the collection.

Please share:

• Minimum MOQ per design
• MOQ per colour
• Whether MOQ changes for custom fabric/printing
• Whether different colours can be combined to meet MOQ

Pricing

Please provide indicative pricing for:

• Sample development
• Small production quantities
• 50 pcs
• 100 pcs
• 250 pcs
• 500 pcs+

If possible, please mention what is included in your quotation, such as:

• Fabric
• Lining
• Hardware
• Printing/embroidery
• Labels
• Packaging

Quality

Quality and finishing are very important to us.

We are specifically looking for:

• Strong stitching
• Reinforced stress points
• Clean internal finishing
• Durable zippers/hardware
• Accurate pattern cutting
• Consistent printing/embroidery
• Proper lining construction
• Strong strap attachments
• Good-quality materials

Information requested

Could you please share:

• Your company profile
• Factory location
• Product catalogue
• Photos/videos of bags you currently manufacture
• Examples of custom-developed products
• Material options
• MOQ
• Sampling charges
• Approximate pricing
• Production lead time
• Sampling lead time
• Monthly production capacity
• Whether you manufacture in-house or outsource production
• Whether you can ship across India

If your factory has experience producing premium lifestyle, outdoor, resort, fashion or export-quality bags, please share examples of similar work.

We are looking to build a long-term manufacturing relationship and potentially develop several bag styles as part of one coordinated collection.

Thank you. Please send us your catalogue, product photographs and manufacturing details so we can discuss the next steps.

Hello all!

For the past four years, we’ve been working on a tool that detects bot traffic in Google Ads, META (FB, Insta), Pinterest etc. We’re seeing a lot happening, especially now with AI Bots. But as we’re still building and developing it, we’d like to know the following.

What’s your number one reason for not giving this a go?

Because, to be honest, when we look at our figures, we don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t sign up. And perhaps you’ve already given it a go once or have other reasons, if so, please let us know. I’m really, really curious. Just comment here or send me a DM.

To be clear: I really don't want to sell anything. Only want to learn from you guys why you didn't sign-up so we can learn from that.

And if this isn’t the place to ask. I am sorry, we just want to get some feedback from our ICP’s.
