लुधियाना में गिफ्ट शॉप शुरू करना — क्या यह फायदेमंद है?

सारांश

With a low viability score of 31/100 (low bucket), the लुधियाना gift shop model looks fragile: monthly profit ranges from -$1569 to $1239 and break-even stretches from 37 to 999 months. While potential monthly revenue of $7560–$12960 exists, the wide profit swing and long payback risk make execution and differentiation critical.
