BUSINESS EXPANTION
Kalim Bhai, in response to commercials about the incense industry, emphasizedthat inflation and pricing challenges are inherent in any business, including the incense industry. He mentioned that those in the business should bear the burden and not complain. He highlighted the versatility of dhoop and agarbatti, stating that they are not just for religious use but are also used in offices and commercial establishments as room fresheners, offering a cost-effective and natural alternative to electronic room perfumers. He asserted that best-quality dhoop and agarbatti can even last for 24 hours. When asked about the quality of his brands, Kalim Bhai confidently stated that quality speaks for itself. He shared the success story of how their brands transformed Bihar into a profitable center by providing high-quality products when none were available. He expressed hope for similar success in other states like U.P. Regarding concerns about the pricing of his brands, Kalim Bhai defended the higher cost by explaining that products made from high-grade natural and essential ingredients cannot be cheap. He referred back to the success they achieved in Bihar as evidence of the value of their products. On the topic of future plans, Kalim Bhai revealed that he is focused on increasing production significantly. He faced a setback when a fire destroyed a considerable amount of goods in one of his factories, but he is actively working to expand production. He has three factory outlets in Nagpur that provide machines, raw materials, raw incense sticks, and perfumes related to the agarbatti industry. He also mentioned having a vast distribution network spanning 300 km around Nagpur.
