A US-based clothing startup founder cannot find small-batch clothing manufacturers in India who are willing to work with startup-sized orders, most only accepting bulk or export orders.
Existing online directories and platforms for manufacturer discovery often cater to large volume orders, leaving startups without a dedicated resource to find small-batch-friendly partners.
