Surat | August 19, 2025 – What began in 1947 as a small textile shop in Surat has today grown into a ₹100 crore empire — Kesaria Textile Company. With over one lakh traders and resellers in its network and exports to 40+ countries, the brand has become a household name in India’s textile ecosystem. But its vision now goes beyond selling fabrics: Kesaria wants to build India’s next 10,000 entrepreneurs.
From Legacy to Opportunity
Surat has long been India’s textile capital, but Kesaria Textile has rewritten what legacy looks like. The company, trusted for quality and variety, has shifted its focus to creating a structured business model that allows anyone from homemakers to young graduates to start their own venture.
The goal is simple: democratize India’s ₹5,00,000 crore textile market by giving aspiring business owners a low-barrier entry point into retail.
Franchise Models for Every Entrepreneur
Kesaria Textile has rolled out multiple models tailored to different scales of investment and geography:
- Mini Store Model: ₹12–17 lakh investment, 200–400 sq. ft.
- Exclusive Store Model: ₹25–30 lakh investment, 400–800 sq. ft.
- Mega Store Model: ₹50–60 lakh investment, 1000–2000 sq. ft.
Each franchise comes with territory exclusivity (3–5 km), factory-direct pricing for higher margins, inventory support, staff training, and brand backing. Even those looking to start small can begin from home with just ₹25,000 and no royalty fees.
A Movement, Not Just a Business
For Kesaria, this is more than franchising it’s about fueling grassroots entrepreneurship. From rural women setting up shops to retired professionals seeking financial independence, the company has designed a model that lowers risk and maximizes opportunity.
The founder’s vision is clear: if every city, town, and village can host a Kesaria franchise, India could witness a new wave of self-reliant business owners who create wealth not just for themselves but for their communities.
Final Take
Kesaria Textile’s journey from a single shop to a global exporter and now a franchise-driven movement is proof that Indian legacy brands can reinvent themselves for the startup era. By empowering first-time entrepreneurs with structure, supply, and support, Kesaria isn’t just expanding a business it’s building an ecosystem of opportunity.
