The opportunity is brand + retail aggregation, not manufacturing. Capex is light (no machinery), risk is mostly demand-discovery and storytelling-led marketing. The GI mark is an underused defensive moat — most consumers don't know Dindigul locks exist. A small premium-positioned brand can profitably sit between artisans and retail-buyers.
