How This B2B Textile Startup Went from ₹2 Crore to ₹150 Crore – You Won’t Believe What They Did!
🌱 A Dream Sown in Bhiwandi’s Textile Chaos
Imagine starting a business with no team, no funding, and no fancy degree in fashion. Just a dream, a few trusted contacts, and relentless hustle. That’s how Dukaan Dost, a now-booming B2B textile startup, began.
In 2019, Heet Jain, a small-time trader, was figuring out how to source yarns and fabrics from markets like Bhiwandi near Mumbai. He wasn’t thinking of building a multi-crore company. He was just learning. But slowly, every thread he sold, every deal he cracked, was weaving the fabric of a game-changing startup.
🔥 A B2B Textile Startup That Listened to the Market
When MSMEs across India began requesting high-quality imported yarns, Heet listened. That’s what makes a great B2B textile startup—solving real problems.
He turned to Alibaba, sourced samples from international vendors, and began offering premium products at competitive rates. Financing was tough, but he got creative—taking 20% advances from clients and promising timely delivery.
Bootstrapped with ₹2 crore from family and friends, Heet and co-founder Dhrati Jain laid the foundation for a startup that now helps 5,000+ clients across the globe.
📈 How Dukaan Dost Redefined B2B in the Textile Space
Most businesses stay safe. Dukaan Dost did the opposite.
They ventured into specialized yarns, set up R&D centers in China, and experimented with fabric mixes that didn’t exist in the Indian market. The result? Unique products like Everlon, Supercool, Vislone, and more—some of which outperform cotton in comfort, price, and sustainability.
From sourcing to financing to logistics, this B2B textile startup covered the entire supply chain. Their proprietary ERP system now handles everything from live order tracking to inventory analytics.
In FY24, they touched ₹150 crore in revenue, with eyes set on ₹250 crore in FY26.
🧵 Weaving Futures, Not Just Fabrics
Beyond profits, Dukaan Dost is changing lives:
-
Small-scale garment makers now get global-grade materials.
-
MSMEs get channel financing and support from lenders like Stride Ventures and Black Soil Capital.
-
Big brands like Killer, Siyaram, and Benetton trust their products.
They’re not just providing fabric. They’re weaving the future of India’s textile backbone.
👕 From Fabric to Fashion – What’s Next?
Now, this bold B2B textile startup is entering the fashion world with its upcoming B2C clothing brand, Monotone.
With warehouses in Bhiwandi, Chennai, Ludhiana and expansion plans for 20+ experience centers, they’re gearing up for a national wave. They even plan to raise ₹100 crore over the next 12–18 months to strengthen their presence in key textile hubs.
This isn’t just growth. This is evolution.
