Karimnagar district has GI-protected Karimnagar silver-filigree work plus substantial paddy cultivation. A combined operator running a silver-filigree retail brand plus a small rice mill captures both heritage and staple streams.
Capex of 12-25 lakh covers retail fit-out, silver inventory, rice-mill equipment, and 6 months of working capital. DCH (handicrafts) plus NABARD-AIF (rice mill) jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: silver inventory management, managing two operating models, and reaching D2C buyers. Start with rice mill (steady B2B); silver retail in year 2.
