Sell handlooms a Unique business idea
These traditional weaves are unique, eco-friendly, of the highest quality, and reflect the diversity and richness of Indian culture. Handloom is also one of the most promising industries with a global business potential, because of the ever-increasing demand locally and worldwide. One of the greatest differentiators, it employs close to 10 lakh artisans in India1. It clearly is an answer to what to sell online.

Far from being a dying industry, the sector is undergoing a breakthrough transformation and that is an opportunity to sail your ship as a solopreneur by starting a small business.

Promoting Indian handlooms and textiles on a global platform such as Amazon could bring the artisans’ talent to the fore and provide them with a sustainable livelihood.

India has a rich handloom legacy that is time, labour and cost intensive. Earlier, traditional artisans had to depend on fairs and tourists to sell their wares.

But, with the boom of e-commerce, they now have a channel to buy and sell online with low investment, find appreciative buyers around the world, boost sales and get big returns.
