If you're looking to start a small business from home this winter, there are several options that require minimal investment but offer excellent profit margins. With smart product sourcing from wholesale markets like Delhi, Jaipur, Ludhiana or by selling your own handmade items, you can easily earn thousands—or even lakhs—per month.
1. Women’s Fashion Accessories Business
This is one of the easiest and most profitable home-based businesses. Wholesale markets like Sadar Bazaar (Delhi) offer hair clutches, clips, laces, pendants, and other accessories at very low prices.
For example, a hair clutch that costs ₹5 in wholesale can be sold for ₹40–₹50 in retail. Even if you sell through Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook Marketplace at a slightly lower rate, the profit margin remains high. Women’s accessories always remain in demand, ensuring steady customers.
2. Online Business of Machine-Made Sweaters
Winter increases the demand for sweaters and woollens. Machine-made sweaters are available at cheap prices in Ludhiana, Panipat and Delhi.
If you know basic knitting or stitching, you can even create your own designs. These sweaters can be sold easily through platforms like Instagram, Meesho, or Flipkart. Each sweater can earn you a profit of ₹150–₹300 depending on quality and design.
3. Home Delivery of Soups & Hot Chocolate
Winter is the perfect season for hot beverages. If you enjoy cooking, start making vegetable soup, sweet corn soup, tomato soup or hot chocolate from home.
All you need is a basic kitchen setup, good packaging and local promotion through WhatsApp groups, building communities or social media. Demand rises especially in evenings, making it a great daily-income business.
4. Start a Blanket Business
Blankets sell heavily during winter. Panipat is India’s largest wholesale hub for blankets, where you can buy high-quality products at low prices.
You can purchase in bulk and sell through online platforms, resell them in local markets or simply maintain a small stock at home. This business easily offers margins of 20% to 45%.
