Why India
- / 01
Moradabad alone produces more brassware than any other city on Earth — the entire trade is built around the lighting cluster. No other geography can deliver brass volume + craft + finishing in the same supply chain.
- / 02
Firozabad's furnaces have been running since the Mughal era; the city produces a remarkable share of the world's hand-blown glass shades and decorative ware.
- / 03
India is one of the few countries where electroplating, hand-spinning, sand-casting and lacquer-finishing can all happen on the same factory floor — for the same SKU.
- / 04
Labour fluency in hand-finishing means CNC + hand-spun parts can be combined economically — a hybrid impossible at European cost and impractical at Chinese MOQs.
