Hare Krishna 🙏
I want to share some ground reality and context which will help you understand the seriousness and potential of this opportunity.
🏭 About Morbi — The Industry We’re Targeting
Morbi (in Gujarat, where I belong) is the world’s second largest ceramic tile manufacturing hub after China.
- ~3000 manufacturing units
- Contributes ~16% of global tile production
- ~90% of India’s ceramic production comes from Morbi
- Exporting to 160+ countries
- Annual turnover of around ₹50,000 crore, with ~₹15,000 crore exports
- India’s ceramic industry CAGR ~8–9%, faster than China
👉 This is a massive, high-volume, high-cash-flow industry
For such companies, investing ₹3–8 lakhs for a proper ERP system is not a big decision if it genuinely solves their problems.
🤝 Strong Market Access (Very Important)
My brother is deeply connected in this industry and will be very instrumental in early adoption and market capture.
- Started at age 19 with ₹45K salary
- Currently earning around ₹10 lakh/month (at 25)
He is selling polishing line materials to many ceramic factories like abrasives, cutters, nano pads, nano chemicals, etc., through multiple ways:
- Partnered with a Chinese company (commission-based)
- Importing containers of nano pads on his own
- Has started a manufacturing plant for nano chemicals
- Selling cutters from local vendors (commission-based)
👉 Because of this, he has strong relationships with many factory owners
Also, many people already know me as his brother who is a bit of a tech geek and builds software systems.
💬 Real Demand (From Experience)
Over time, I have personally received multiple requirements from factory owners:
- They want systems tailored exactly to their workflows
- Many were ready to pay ₹3–8 lakhs
However, I didn’t pursue it earlier because:
- I didn’t have enough team resources
- I was working solo
- And by nature, I am more introverted
🤖 Why Timing is Right (AI Advantage)
Now, because of AI, the market is rapidly adopting new ways of working.
- Businesses are becoming more open to using AI tools
- We now have a strong advantage in fulfilling requirements faster
- Earlier, we had to spend a lot of time in heavy coding
👉 Now we can focus more on:
- Ground-level requirement study
- Understanding real workflows deeply
- System architecture and design
👉 Less repetitive coding, more intelligent building
🚀 Why This Matters Now
- Real and validated market demand
- Strong industry access
- High willingness to pay
- Right timing (AI + tech shift)
- Now building a dedicated team
This is not just an idea —
it is something with real demand, real access, and strong execution potential.
If you are serious about building something meaningful and impactful, this can be a very strong opportunity.
