Some spend to flex.Some spend to dominate.
But Nishanth?
He spent to resurrect.
It started with a newspaper article tucked deep inside Page 7.
Not trending.Not viral.Just one of those stories that slips through unnoticed.
"Traditional Handloom Sector in Andhra Pradesh Faces Final Collapse – Over 45,000 Jobs Lost in 18 Months."
It listed stats.
Charts.
Debt.
Dying looms.
And a small quote from a 62-year-old weaver named Ramulu:
"I used to weave dreams.Now I only count losses."
Nishanth folded the paper.Didn't say a word.
But Adarsh, sitting nearby, already knew the look.
"You're going to buy the entire industry, aren't you?"
"No."
He paused."I'm going to bring it back to life."
That week, Xylon filed over 37 shell acquisitions across 3 states.
All clean.
All quiet.
And within 14 days, Nishanth officially owned:
▸9 defunct handloom factories,
▸4 abandoned artisan cooperatives,
▸18 warehouse units filled with moth-eaten stock and
▸12,000 unpaid weavers
The industry laughed.
"Let's see how the Spend King handles a sector that even the government gave up on."
They thought it was a vanity move.
A legacy filler.
An emotional stunt.
They didn't know:
He wasn't saving the looms.
He was saving the legacy.
He renamed the initiative:
"Project Threedha" — symbolizing Thread. Tradition. Transformation.
The first order?
"No machine replacements.
Only human reinforcements."
Second?
"Full medical insurance for all weaver families.No paperwork. No waiting."
Third?
"Reverse hire young urban designers.
Make them work under the master weavers.
Not the other way around."
The media didn't understand.Until the first product line launched.
Handloom jackets with embedded QR codes.
Scan them, and it didn't show price.
It showed a 2-minute video of the weaver's life.
His story. His face. His voice.
Buyers weren't just buying fashion.
They were restoring forgotten hands.
Sales didn't trickle in.They exploded.
From Delhi to Dubai.
Every celebrity.
Every youth brand.
Every mindful buyer—
They all wanted a piece of Project Threedha.
And yet, Nishanth made sure of one thing:
No Xylon logo on any piece.
Only a stitched feather at the inside collar and the name of the weaver.
When asked why, he replied:
"If you must wear power,wear the name of someone the world once tried to erase."
Supriya, scrolling through Instagram, found an influencer wearing a Threedha shawl.
She clicked the QR.
Watched a video of an old woman named Lakshmamma from Kadapa smile shyly and say:
"I never left my village.
But today, my thread reached Paris."
Supriya wiped her eyes.
"He's not just a spender,he's a reviver."
In Warangal, Radhamma received a call.
The weaver association of Telangana invited her to a felicitation.
"Because your son brought food back to thousands of homes."
She didn't need to understand economics.
She just smiled and said:
"He only ever wanted people to sleep without fear again."
That night, Nishanth opened the system.
[SYSTEM INTERFACE – DYING INDUSTRY RECLAMATION: SUCCESS]
Sector: Handloom
Revival Status: Phase 1 Complete
Public Emotion Score: 97%
Would you like to scale nationwide?
He tapped:
Yes
Then typed:
*"Profit isn't value.
Value is when a grandmother weaver finally tells her grandson —
'We're not forgotten anymore.'"*
No good deed survives without envy.And no silent rise goes without a storm.
As Project Threedha exploded across India and international markets,the ones who noticed first....weren't the customers.
They were the giants.
Three mega textile corporations.
Each worth billions.
Each built on speed, automation, and overseas cheap labor.
They didn't fear fashion.They feared emotion entering business.
And right now, Nishanth's movement was making every buyer feel something.
Shame. Pride. Gratitude.
Worse than competition, it was causing conscience.
Boardrooms in Mumbai and Singapore rang with warnings.
"If this revival continues, our urban youth base will erode."
"His rural authenticity is killing our influencer campaigns."
"Shut him down before Threedha becomes a brand religion."
And so began the war behind the fabric.
They started small.
▸Spammed false labor violation reports to his logistics nodes
▸Planted articles questioning Threedha's funding
▸Poached junior Xylon design interns with 10x salaries
But Nishanth never flinched.
Because he hadn't built Threedha on weakness.He built it on wounds.
And wounds don't fold under pressure , they harden into purpose.
Then came the first direct blow.
One of Threedha's flagship weaver units in Guntur was vandalized.
Machines broken.Raw threads soaked.
CCTV stolen.
A note left on the wall:
"Go back to your donations.
Leave the business to grownups."
Adarsh broke the news.
"Sir,the attack was coordinated. Paid. Masked. We're collecting footage now."
Nishanth didn't speak.He walked into his office.Sat silently.
Then opened the Spend Interface.
[ACTIVATE: RETALIATORY MODE?]
Suggested Protocols:
→ Legal blitz
→ Public exposure
→ Media storm
User-defined custom option also available.
He typed:
**"We don't expose.
We outperform."**
That night, Xylon launched a new campaign called:
"Weavers First – 100 Cities. 100 Popups. 100% Proceeds to Artisans."
No ads.No billboards.
Just mobile vans showing up across cities
with real weavers inside.
Live.
Weaving.
Talking.
Smiling.
The public didn't just watch.They stood in lines to buy.
Because now they weren't buying cloth.They were buying resistance.
Meanwhile, Nishanth made one silent move:
He purchased 4% shares in one of the textile giants attacking him,through six shell corps and legally applied to access internal shareholder policies.
The message?
**"If you break my looms,
I'll break into your boardroom."**
By week's end:
▸The Guntur weavers got a new facility — 3x larger
▸Each affected family received ₹1 lakh in quiet recovery bonusesand
▸Threedha's app crossed 2 million downloads
A reporter asked him at a press Q&A:
"Sir, how do you handle corporate sabotage with such grace?"
Nishanth replied:
"Because if I spend time fighting…
I'll forget why I started spending at all."
The textile giants sent a final offer:
"Merge. We'll buy Threedha for ₹600 crore. You retain creative freedom."
He declined with one line:
"Threedha is not for sale.
Because my grandmothers don't have a price tag."
In a viral panel debate, a fashion mogul scoffed:
"This man romanticizes handloom. It's not scalable."
But then a young buyer called in live:
"Then why did I cancel my Zara cart
after watching Lakshmamma weave?"
SYSTEM INTERFACE – INDUSTRY DISRUPTION MODE: CONFIRMED
▸Corporate Pressure: Neutralized
▸Emotional Loyalty Score: 92%
▸Rural Revival Index: 187% jump
▸Suggested Action: Patent Artisan-Ownership Model?
Nishanth tapped:
Approved
Then typed:
*"If they come for my thread,
I'll stitch a future they can't unravel."*
That week, 6,000 more weavers applied to join Threedha.
And in homes that once sat silent in debt...
Looms began to hum again.
Not with noise.
But with dignity.
To be continued.....
Creation is hard for me , please support me.
