Online shoppers and people in rented flats buy study tables, shoe racks and bookshelves that arrive flat in a box. A West Delhi unit using the Kirti Nagar furniture trade's skills can make them under its own name instead of selling unbranded pieces to traders.

This unit makes simple furniture that ships flat in a box and is put together at home with a screwdriver: study tables, shoe racks, bookshelves, bedside tables and TV units. Boards are cut to size, edges sealed and holes drilled, and each set is packed with screws, a picture guide and an Allen key. You sell under your own name online, and can also make batches for other sellers.
West Delhi's One District One Product is furniture, and the Kirti Nagar furniture market is one of the country's largest furniture trading and making hubs. Most makers here sell unbranded pieces to traders and showrooms, who keep much of the final price. The district's deep pool of carpenters makes hiring easier.
You need a shed in an approved industrial area, GST registration, and to follow Delhi Pollution Control Committee rules on wood dust and noise. The main machines are a panel saw, an edge-banding machine, a drilling machine and a dust collector. The hard part is the box: every part must fit exactly, and furniture breaks in transit, so drop-test sample boxes before you list anything. Marketplace fees, returns and ads eat into earnings, so start with a few designs.
Sell through online marketplaces, furniture showrooms, and hostels and offices that buy in bulk.
