Can’t avoid this before setting up a Factory in India

With increasing access to good technology and capital, the young generation is tapping onto the golden opportunity of setting up their own factory in diverse industries and creating products from scratch. That being said…

What’s the first thing you should do before setting up a factory in India?

The land, the staff you want to hire, the manufacturing and the distribution process. Right?

Ummm… so what did you forget? Any guesses?

External Demand:

In order to take your company to the next level, your product needs to have a strong local AND international demand. Remember that, you need to think GLOCAL. Depending too much on a single country exposes you to events like demonetisation.

Internal Supply:

After analysing your demand, you need to know the ideal output needed from your factory to make a dent in your target market. Produce too less, and you get crushed by the big players. Produce too much, and you are left with unsold inventory.

Complexity of marketing:

Your target customers and product price will define the marketing budget you need to acquire an institutional buyer. For e.g. Your acquisition cost and complexity for getting a buyer of everyday rice will be much less than that for luxury bags.
