Need advice: Tested a small business idea, now confused about scaling

I recently tested a small business idea in my local area (India).

- Started with a very small setup (under ₹1 lakh ))

- Raw material is cheap and easily available

- Demand seems consistent, but I’ve only tested on a small scale

I got decent results in the first few trials, but I’m not sure if it will hold when scaled.

My main concerns:

- Market saturation

- Consistency in demand at larger scale

- Risk of investing more capital

Would you scale something that is:

- Low risk but slow growth

OR

- Higher risk but potentially higher profit?

Also, how do you validate properly before going bigger?

Would appreciate advice from people who have actually scaled something
