Tested demand for our family factory’s surplus on Reddit, got 40+ orders. Should I launch my own clothing brand?

Context: A 20-year-old from a clothing-manufacturing family tested export surplus on Reddit and got 40+ orders; asks whether to launch a D2C brand.

From r/indianstartups: I’m 20, a BBA student, and my family is into clothing manufacturing and exporting. I’m trying to decide whether to launch our own clothing brand and would like honest opinions before I put real money in. How this started: We had some export surplus (shorts and joggers, 180 GSM) sitting around.
