Key Questions Answered
Chandan explains that opening a clothing store does not require a lot of money, needing only about 2 to 3 lakh rupees to begin. A room measuring 10 by 10 or 10 by 20 feet is sufficient to start the new shop.
Chandan advises focusing on only one variety of clothing rather than mixing multiple types, which can cause capital shortages. For example, a business owner can choose to open an exclusive store entirely dedicated to children's clothing.
Market research helps determine whether expensive or cheap clothes are in demand, as well as whether branded or local items sell better in a specific area. By visiting local shops to understand how the market functions, owners can source clothes accordingly from places like Kolkata and Delhi.
