Zero se pehli sale tak — actual kaam

Har step realistic hai — Pune ke liye, as is.

1
Learn / Research
Visit Pimpri-Chinchwad Industrial Area and walk the Bhosari Engineering Goods Market on a Tuesday morning. Call 3-5 existing engineering goods suppliers and ask about their sourcing, margins, and buyer acquisition. Zero cost, takes 4-6 hours. Register free on Udyam portal while researching.
2
Source Raw Materials
Source raw materials from Chandni Chowk steel merchants in Pune's Camp area or directly from SAIL Rourkela (440 km rail connection). First batch of ₹3-5L will yield 200-300 units depending on product specification. Lead time 2-4 weeks for bulk orders.
3
Produce / Partner
Rent 2,000-4,000 sq ft unit in Bhosari MIDC or Pimpri-Chinchwad MSME cluster (₹15-25/sq ft/month = ₹30-100K monthly rent). Buy or lease machinery (₹8-25L one-time). Partner with 2-3 skilled artisans/technicians (₹15-25K salary each). Start production in Month 2-3. Total setup: ₹15-40L.
4
Brand & Register
Register Udyam (free, online, 1 day). Apply for IEC code via DGFT (₹500, 5 days) if planning exports. File GI registration application for 'Pune Engineering Goods' (₹2,000-5,000, 12-24 months approval). Get ISO 9001 certification (₹30-50K, 4-6 weeks) to win OEM contracts. Get BIS license if product requires it (₹5-15K, 4-8 weeks).
5
First Sale
First sale: contact 10 Bajaj Auto or TVS supplier-vendors in Pimpri directly (walk-in visits). Typical first order: ₹2-10L, delivery 4-6 weeks. Post on IndiaMART (₹10K annual subscription) to capture small buyers. Expected first-month revenue: ₹0-3L (long B2B sales cycle). First meaningful revenue Month 4-6 once credibility established.
6
Scale
At ₹10L/month: hire 1 sales engineer + 1 operations manager (₹15K each/month). Exhibit at IMTEX Bangalore (Feb-March), India Machine Tool Expo. Apply for MSME subsidy schemes (see schemes below). Establish export agency relationship with freight forwarder in Pune for Ireland/USA shipments. Upgrade machinery to increase capacity. Target ₹30-50L revenue by Month 18-24.

Kahan dikhna hai — buyers yahan milte hain


Sourcing aur vendors ki tension mat lo

Raw material suppliers chahiye for starting this business? Instagram pe seedha DM karo → — reply milega.


Seedhe sawaal, seedhe jawab

Minimum ₹15-20 lakhs chahiye: machinery (₹8-12L), tooling (₹2-3L), 3-4 months rent (₹1-2L), raw material first batch (₹3-5L). Agar PMEGP loan lo toh 30% subsidy mil sakti hai (₹7.5L tak). Zyada serious ho toh ₹30-50L invest kar sakte ho faster growth ke liye.
Engineering background zaroor chahiye — machine operation, tolerance specs, quality control. Agar mechanical engineer ho toh aur bhi achha. Pure business ho toh experienced mechanical engineer ko co-founder banana padega. Training centres in Bhosari 2-3 mahine skill course karte hain ₹20-30K mein.
PMEGP se ₹25L loan mil sakta hai 0% interest, 30% subsidy ₹7.5L. Maharashtra subsidy 20-30% (up to ₹50L) for MIDC units. Export karo toh 5% export incentive. Udyam free hai. ISO certification ke liye ₹5-10K help mil sakti hai kuch schemes se.
Bajaj Auto, TVS, Hero ke supplier vendors ko direct approach kar — Pimpri-Chinchwad mein unke offices hain. Ya IndiaMART pe list kar aur small buyers se shuru kar (₹50K-2L orders). B2B portals like TradeKey use kar international buyers ke liye. Local machine shop owners bhi customers hote hain.
Haan bilkul, Pune se Ireland, USA, Germany, Japan को already export hota hai. IEC code lena padega (₹500, 5 days). Freight forwarder hire karna padega (₹10-15K per shipment). Quality certification (ISO, BIS) chahiye. Customs, shipping docs handle karta hai forwarder. FOB price 35-50% margin hota hai — wholesale se zyada profit milta hai.
Matlab agar 18 months mein ₹50L+ revenue nahi hua toh loss ho sakta hai. Risk hai ki OEM buyers payment 60-90 days late dete hain — working capital crunch hota hai. Agar product quality issue hua toh reputation damage permanent hota hai. Exit: machinery sell kar 40-50% price par, MSME close kar. Padhai karke koi aur product try kar ya job lelo. Par Pune ka market strong hai toh agar thoda persistent rahe toh 12-18 mahine mein ₹10L+ monthly revenue achievable hai.
