The problem

Someone with capital and an appetite to start a manufacturing unit has almost nowhere credible to look. Deciding what to make, what it costs to set up, whether there is demand, where to source machinery, and what the bank will want to see are five separate research problems — and getting any of them wrong is expensive.

What it does

StartYourIndustry helps an entrepreneur find the right business to start and get it bank-ready. It carries manufacturing and MSME project profiles with full investment breakdowns, market demand data, supplier directories, and DPR and CMA reports — everything needed before capital is committed.

The DPR and CMA reports matter most in practice. A detailed project report and CMA data are what a bank asks for when a loan application is made, and preparing them from scratch is the point where most first-time applicants stall.

Available on the web and as mobile apps for both stores.

Common questions

What is in a project profile?

Investment breakdown, market demand, raw material and machinery requirements, and the data needed to judge whether the project is viable where you intend to run it.

Do I need an account to look?

No. The project library is browsable without signing up.

What is CMA data and why does the bank want it?

A prescribed set of financial statements banks use to assess a credit application. We have written about it in detail on our Insights section.

Does it cover countries outside India?

Yes — projects are ranked by labour cost, raw material access, domestic demand, export opportunity and infrastructure for a range of countries.
