Organise Amroha's historic drum-makers (dholak, tabla) into a producer cooperative with one quality-graded brand, shared finishing, and direct online retail. The artisans already make the instruments; the value being lost sits in branding, tuning consistency, and direct market access, so the play is aggregation and channel, not new manufacturing. This builds on the district's dholak and musical-instrument cluster and captures the handmade-drums-to-branded-and-exported gap that currently hands the margin to wholesalers and resellers.
The real work is craft standardisation: tonal tuning, seasoned-wood and skin sourcing, and consistent finish across many independent workshops, plus the export documentation and packaging needed to ship fragile instruments safely. Buyers are music schools and academies, professional and amateur percussionists, instrument retailers, and the South Asian diaspora that pays a premium for authentic, well-tuned drums. Start by building 6-10 reliable SKUs under the brand and proving consistent quality before chasing volume or export scale.
