Jaipur excels at producing woven fabrics and supports low MOQs, making it perfect for fashion startups.
However, it's not great for synthetic fibers, knits, or specialized techniques like embroidery and khadi weaving, which are better sourced elsewhere in India.
Jaipur is ideal for sourcing both soft (bedding, pillows, rugs) and hard home goods (furniture, dining sets, etc).
White labeling is a profitable and popular strategy for home goods brands, but custom options are also available with reasonable MOQs.
Jaipur is one of the best places to have jewelry made, with a rich history dating back to 1727.
Known for high-quality gems and craftsmanship, Jaipur offers excellent opportunities for starting a jewelry line with custom products at competitive prices.
1. Don’t confuse domestic and export markets (export quality is often higher)
2. Make sure to account for delays from holidays or weather (like Diwali and monsoons)
3. Try to be flexible; unexpected issues are inevitable in Jaipur's production environment, so you need to roll with the punches.
