Quick answer: With around ₹5–10 lakh, focus on compact, fast-moving categories such as foods, personal care, home care, stationery or electrical accessories. Around ₹25 lakh opens stronger district-level distribution options. At ₹50 lakh, Super Stockist-style operations and larger territories become more realistic. Around ₹1 crore, multi-district Super Stockist, C&F, industrial or large multi-category distribution models can become viable—provided the infrastructure and working-capital cycle support them.
The biggest mistake in distribution is asking only, “Which brand is best?” A better question is: “Which distribution model can my capital comfortably support after stock, market credit, warehouse, manpower and operating buffer are considered?”
