Nitin Shekhar Sharma, True Indian


Updated Oct 24, 2016 · Upvoted by Harman Kapoor, lives in India (1994-present) and Anirudh
Raghuwanshi, former Business Development Analyst at Mutterfly (2016-2017)

I really can't tell about 10 businesses but 1 business I know in which you will start making
profit from the very first month.

Initial cost approx 30–35K and per month profit approx 15–16K or more.

That is Uber. Buy a car and hire a driver and enroll your car in Uber.

Below we will see, why I am saying this:


Needless to say, but all of the above numbers are approximate.

I forgot to include Rs. 500 as per month Mobile expense and Rs.5000 as one time mobile
cost.

The down payment and EMI can vary based on the car. This calculation is for TATA Indica.

IMPORTANT POINTS:

If your driver works at average level then you will make 2300 per day easily. If he is
hardworking then you can get 3100 per day or way more than that. (Upto 4800 per day).

Only challenge is finding a driver.

Car is always yours. You can anytime use it for personal purpose.

Only with 35000 rupees you can start your business which will give you more than Rs.15000
profit per month.

After 2–3 years the profit will increase as EMIs will stop.

Edit:

Answers to some common questions:

The amount mentioned i.e. 2300 is the net amount. This means that amount is after all the
deductions.

Yes it is right that Uber policies may change anytime but it is also true that there are many
other options available in the market.

Driver may leave, car may encounter an accident etc. all these are risks which every business
has.

I am not at all saying that leave everything and do this business. It is an option which one
can consider.

Car is yours so you can use it anytime. The only thing is that if you don’t have TR license
then you can’t drive it (officially).

As already mentioned, finding a driver is indeed a very difficult task. My suggestion is find a
driver with personal references. Trustworthy office boys, maids, carpenter, plumber,
electrician etc. any of them can give you a good referral.

I have also heard of many who have tried and failed in this business but many are there who
have tried and succeeded. It is similar to any other business.
I am in Pune, Maharashtra. Here public transport is pathetic and IT guys are in plenty. So
they prefer cabs over any other mode of transport. So the business here is good.

Driver take 1 day leave in a week. 15K salary for driver is including some extra money which
i am paying him to work without leave. He is happy and thus I am happy.

After 2 - 3 years, the maintenance cost will increase but not by 15000 per month.

Edit2:

30K (in fact 27K) was the downpayment of some leasing facility which uber is providing.

The annual expense for taxes, fitness and permit here in Pune Maharashtra is approx 12–
14K.

Please dont buy 100 cars just by reading this answer and thinking that you will be
millionaire after that. ;) ;)

Edit3:

Just an update for your information:

Uber has changed its incentive structure. Now no option of 1400.

So now to be on a profitable state I shud complete 1700 business in a day. This will fetch me
2900 net total earning for that day.

I am pushing my driver. Surprisingly getting good results.

I will just talk about one of the top 10 businesses that seems simple but profitable with huge
margin.
To be precise, Tea.

I was in Calcutta when I took this picture. It was posted on the Instagram page as well, a
long time ago.

I have talked to a tea seller just to realize, there’s nothing profitable than selling tea.

You know why? Because it works on the principal of unrestricted demand.

Doctors, food, medicines and tea can never be out of the sale no matter what.

Let's take a general case here and you just need to be bit smart to become profitable.

 One kg tea powder price: 100–200 I.N.R.


 Let’s assume, A person purchases 10 kg of tea powder and it costs him
around, 1000–2000 I.N.R. ( General case study of a real tea-seller of Delhi
NCR, I have talked to ).
 For a greater knowledge, a handful of tea powder has a density and area
greater than water and milk, which means, you can extract maximum with
the minimum.
 Let’s also assume, you purchase 20 Litre of milk every day which comes out
to be 20*30= 600*40 =24,000 I.N.R but generally, a tea seller has a local
dealer which delivers milk with the much lesser price so, let’s assume, it
comes out to be at most 15,000 for a month
 Start calculating. 10 Kilograms of tea powder goes for 20/25 days and at
max, 30 at some places ( Real case study ), which means 2000 I.N.R for one
month.
 15,000 I.N.R ( Milk ).
 Total for a month- 15,000+2,000= 17,000. This would be an in most case.
Smart tea sellers can manage even lesser than that.
 Also, include the cost of the cart which is fixed and one time, let’s say,
4,000 I.N.R.
 Calculation for a year= 17,000*12 + 4,000= 2,08,000 I.N.R.
 Also, include the price of sugar which can be around 135/150 I.N.R per
packet and the consumption is 6/7 packet a month which comes out to be
810/900 for a month and for annually, it is 9,720/10,800 I.N.R. ( Real case
study).
 Total for a year: 2,08,000 + 10,800 = 2,18,000 I.N.R.
This is an extreme case where the consumption is heavy like in the cases of railway
stations and bus stops. Also, in the rest of the cases, the investment could be much
lower but there would be a positive difference in the profits because it is never-
ending though the footfall would be comparatively less.
Now, time for showing the profit ( Real case study).

 Consumption per day= 350 people at least.


 Cost per cup: 10 I.N.R ( Excluding the case of Kolkata here, Lol ).
 Income per day: 10*350= 3,500 I.N.R.
 Income per month: 3,500*30= 1,05,000 I.N.R.
 Income per year= 12,60,000 I.N.R.
 This case is an at least case because footfall is variable but at least above
300 where as the investment is an extreme case because it is manageable.
 If we think of prices worth I.N.R 5 per cup, still it is half of what it is.
 Difference= Sale- Investment= Profit.
 Profit= 12,60,000–2,18,000= 10,42,000 I.N.R
 Profit percentage= (10,42,000/ 2,18,000 )*100= 478%
 Even, if we include domestic LPG expenses for a month and multiply it for
a year, it still can't beat the margin.

So, take a chill and scream: Chaiiii, Chaiiii ( Tea, Tea ).

Edit: Deleted my answer due to some technical fault, restored it again.

Sandeep Manudhane, Patriotic Indian not just by words, thoughts and emotions, but in
action.
Answered Oct 31, 2015

Originally Answered: What are the top 10 small scale businesses in India?


Despite being a huge economy that ranks at number 3 in the GDP (PPP) league globally,
India is a nation where the agriculture and unorganized sectors dominate employment
generation. Contrary to what a lot of people may believe, we do not have a majority of our
workforce employed by the organized sector.

The Indian workforce can be categorized by a simple and approximate formula – 65-
35-15-85. Of the entire workforce, around 65% are engaged directly or indirectly in
Agriculture, a massive number. This number will include farmers, farm labourers, transport
workers, mandi workers, marketing people, rural business persons of all types etc. That
leaves around 35% of Indian workforce, which we can call non-farm workforce. Of this 35%,
not more than 15% are employed by the organized sector. They are paid salaries on fixed
dates (almost), enjoy statutory benefits and can associate their work with some brandname
of some credible size. The remaining 85% (of this 35%) are engaged in unorganized sector,
that does not enjoy any of these characteristics. Are these not shocking statistics, for India,
after nearly seven decades of economic independence? By the way, I have not counted
homemakers and housewives, whose contribution anyway does not get counted in the GDP
calculations.

We are a nation of 1.3 billion people (that’s 130,00,00,000 people). So  it is clear there is
abundance of labour available in India, that is untrained, unskilled (or at best partially
skilled) and has a poor chance of making it in the formal organized sector. What do these
people do? Well, they create small businesses of their own, and get on with their lives
quietly.

Mainstream academia and media often speak disparagingly of these millions as “Mom-and-
Pop” shops, because the comparison yardstick is the West, where most of retail is
organized. But if these millions were to give up their businesses, and start pestering
the governments of India (central and state) for Sarkari jobs, the whole system will
crumble and break down in no time. We should be very thankful to these entrepreneurs
who quietly create opportunities for themselves, and even employ many more.
I assume by small, the question means really small, even micro. And “top 10” must be the
range and spread. The ones I am listing below, are usually proprietorships of the most
unstructured format. I am intentionally not counting the Small-scale enterprises in the
manufacturing sector. I am also leaving out individual contractors that use the internet
economy to work from home, on projects anywhere in the world (these are educated and
very capable people).

In my opinion, ten of the smallest of businesses (not counting agriculture related work) that
are widespread across India, totally taken for granted, and where literally crores of Indians (1
crore = 10 million) are self-employed, can be listed as:

1. Small retail shops – Millions of them spread across the length and breadth of
India. They are usually owned by a single family, and entire work is done by two or
three members of the same family. They do not formally book every transaction,
and issue no receipts. Hence, they generally pay no taxes at all. In fact, if they are
forcibly dragged in the tax net, many of them will simply become unviable! So
what will happen? Right now we have around 1 million young people entering the
workforce each month. Or 1.2 crore each year. We will substantially increase the
number if these shops collapse.
2. Paan ki dukaan – Indians love their paan, supari, cigarettes, tobacco, and
gutkha! And this gives birth to the legion of Paan Shops we see everywhere. They
form a key part of the marketing plans of consumer goods giants like Unilever etc.
As they say, the Ps of marketing are Product-Price-Promotion-Place-and-Paan
shops.
3. Readymade Garment shops – Thousands of these small shops cater to the
needs of the local communities they serve. While all conceivable brands are
available in big malls, the small shops cater at an atomic level to their customers’
needs. And they are busy all year round. One can be often surprised at the
economical rates these offer.
4. Tea stalls – Popularly called chai-ki-tapri, these are hangout places (for a few
minutes) for the local small office-goers, daily wage labourers, and anybody
passing by. Usually run by a single entrepreneur, they employ chhotus,  young boys
barely 8 or 10 years of age. It can be seen everywhere in India. They serve tea (of
coffee), some basic snacks like pakoras,  etc. Wholesomely unhealthy if taken on a
daily basis.
5. Auto Repair shops – If you do not wish to spend a lot of money to get your
vehicle (2 wheeler or 4 wheeler) repaired at the branded sales outlet or service
centre, then the roadside repair shop is always at your disposal. Business is always
brisk, and the technicians working can be amazingly skilled.
6. Mobile repair / accessories shops – The past few years have seen employment
generation through this route. Tiny shops that are run by just one or two people
can cater to a vast range of your repair / recharging needs. Found almost
everywhere.
7. Grocery & Daily need shops – A type of the small retail shops. Some of them
are organizedkirana stores, others much smaller but equally useful. They develop
customer relationships through home delivery, some credit, and informal support
for a range of needs. Usually have dedicated and loyal clienteles. The arrival of
organized retail has, so far, not affected them much.
8. Small restaurants / coffee shops – Lots of them dot the highways as dhabas,
or all commercial roads in cities of all sizes. They are usually much cheaper
compared to branded cafes. I remember enjoying a hearty meal (for a family of
four) for Rs 36 when  we hungrily went to a very small “south Indian” restaurant on
a mountain side in Munnar, Kerala. What a meal it was! And what a rush the
restaurant was handling. Such experiences make you want to become a food
entrepreneur (the yummy margins!).
9. Seasonal shops – Every festival in India brings unique buying needs, and that
leads to sprouting of such shops in specific areas of all towns and cities. So, during
the Ganesh Chaturthi festivals, shops spring up overnight selling pooja
samagri (material for religious prayers) and idols. Similarly, Deepawalisees fire-
cracker shops and Holibrings with it gorgeously colourful temporary shops. All
dealings are naturally in pure cash!
10. Hawkers of all types – Not to be outdone by the above, we have a whole range
of hawkers who shout themselves hoarse strutting their stuff door-to-door, all day
long. They do this on bicycles, or thelas,  and  it must be very exhausting work.
I personally feel that society ought to respect these individuals much more that it currently
does. They are the most basic building blocks of our goods and services markets. The
entrepreneurial streak of these unsung heroes can be very motivating if we see the sheer
struggle their daily lives entail.

As India moves forward, while our economy will get more structured, the simultaneous
growth of our population is going to make formal employment generation a huge
challenge. Interesting times ahead!

I have very pessimistic observation.

To start any business you need to have lots of permission / licenses. Now, if you take such
permission / license one has to comply with rules. The authority may any time come to
survey your business premises. For example, if you pay someone more than 20,000/- as
expenses, you need to deduct TDS and then deposit within stipulated time with Govt. Failing
which you will be penalised, need to pay interest, and then subject to prosecution and
imprisonment. You are helping government to collect the revenue and depositing it in its
coffer and any mistake, you are hanged.

Hosts of laws are there. Taxes, state taxes and now GST which truly will not facilitate a
medium level business, but a top / corporate business only. Doing business is affordable for
big business houses. A small entrepreneur will run pillar to post to get papers, comply with
laws and then develop his business.

The laws are “KEPT” of business houses. If you do not believe, read on net how one business
house got to have budget papers in his drawer before it was presented in lower house.

Tatas, Birlas business was well established before independence. If you read story of making
of today’s top business house, you will be shamed what malpractices were carried out.
STAYAM also tried to come into that bracket, but somehow his relations with bureaucrats
touched low and it was publicly hanged. If one goes into history of all the top businesses, a
making of STAYAM, KINGFISHER can be observed. Very few like infosys developed their
base. Most of Pioneers of INFOSYS were from PATNI computer services and now one can
see where PATNI stands.

Manipulations, corruption, political interference thereabouts are stairs for success. If one
indulges in these or masters them, I guarantee, he will not need any business model. The
business houses have become kings, czars with these qualities. the @2G, common wealth,
coal all these scams were exposed because some politician or bureaucrat did not got his
share properly. But, where it was divided as per agreement, the scam underwent smoothly.

Entrepreneurship is like blood for any nation. This skill has been gradually killed. The Big
fishes for their own reason been instrumental in this act. Nevertheless, bureaucrats,
politicians have been playing the role of protagonist along with big business houses. Catch
any IITan or IIM-A studied, will he ever dare to do business. You will always need to have
host of CAs, Advocates, bureaucrats, politicians, clerks to support your business. And if time
allows you, to do your core business activity.

Yes, you can be successful if you do business in parallel economy. Hope, everybody
understands here.
Sorry, Guys can not inspire… But these are facts.

1 . PG owner in a metro city ( profitable if is in proximity to any IT Park)

The minimum rent for an AC room ( four sharing) starts from 6000 per person in Chennai.
Apart from Expenditures for basic amenities and salary to cooks , cleaners , (Most of the
cooks are not even paid properly by the PG owners. Eventually its Inmates of PG who suffer
- bcoz the cooks either quit their job or vent out their anger towards owners through food )
a PG owner can earn 5–10 times more than an IT Professional per month.

2 . Xerox shop near an Engineering College/ Stationary shop near a school

Seriously !! He earns more than a newly joined Assistant professor in the same college. All
credits goes to Assignments and Projects. There is even an area in my city which consists of
many shops to ‘sell’ final year projects .Thanks to our Education System !! LOL !!

Who can forget those Toffees , 1 rs pepsi , scented erasers , Nataraj geometry boxes , camlin
crayons sold in shops near our school ( probably 90’s kids would remember!!)

3 . Chat shops/ Restaurant


Who doesn’t love to have a chaai (tea) with hot and spicy Namkeens (Snacks) ?? Try out
Paanipuri , Masalpuri , samosa , pakkoda etc., in road side chat shops , that too on a rainy
day. It’s delicious !!

Food is inevitable for human life . A country / State’s culture is reflected through food. In a
country like india which has vast and vibrant food culture , setting up a Restaurant is always
profitable , provided the service and quality is good .

4. Mobile phone Service centers.

Now mobile phones has become an inevitable part of our lives. That too , in this era of
smartphones ( eventhough it has made people dumb :D) mobile phone service centers can
be profitable always.

5 . Event Management / Wedding Planning

Indians are obsessed with Lavish Wedding. They save their lifetime earnings and spend their
lifetime savings on weddings to entertain thousands of people many of whom the bride and
groom don’t even know. LOL! This obsession turns out to be a blessing for wedding
planners. An Indian wedding lasts atleast for 3 days and there are several customs and
rituals ( differs from state to state) like sangeet , mehendi , bidaai etc., the couple has to
undergo. Wedding planners needs to take care of all the arrangements like marraige hall ,
catering , Bridal makeup , costumes , gifts , decoration , DJ ( for Sangeet) etc.,

Event Management is the process of planning and coordinating the event which includes
budgeting, scheduling, site selection, acquiring necessary permits, coordinating
transportation and parking, arranging for speakers or entertainers, decoration, event
security, catering, coordinating with third party vendors, and emergency plans. Due to the
growth of IT/ ITES Sector , management of corporate events , festive celebrations proves to
be profitable.

6 . Coaching classes / Training Institutions

Studying in an IIT,NIT,BITS or any other esteemed institutions is seen as a matter of pride in


our society . This requires clearing of Entrance exams like IIT-JEE,AIEEE,AIPMT etc., There are
students who starts training themselves (willingly or unwillingly) for IIT coaching from class
5 . Obviously the coaching classes also charge a huge amount from students ( quality of
training is good , but children literally loose their childhood there)

Unemployment is a problem prevailing in our country. Thousands of graduates rushing to


off-campus drives is the proof for this. They need to rely upon the training institutions to
enhance their technical and professional skills.
So these two can always be profitable but despite monetary benefits , the institutes also
need to take care about giving qualified training concerning student’s future.

7 . Travel Agencies

Who doesn’t love to travel around the world.? People always love to explore different
places. Travel agencies can make this possible and provide their customers a wonderful
experience with proper transport , accomodation , food , arrangement for adventure
activities in a place (if any) , security etc., There are now lot of travel websites and portals to
advertise these agencies .

8 . Digital Marketing

It has grown in popularity over time, with increased number of internet users. Everything has
become online now . E-books , E-ticket , E-commerce and many Es are now ruling the
market . With adequete concern of consumer privacy and data protection this turns out to
be profitable .

9 . Tailoring /Boutiques

Well ! everyone loves to dress and present themselves well . Our attire infact helps us to
give us a dignified and diplomatic look . Be it modern or traditional attire ,fashion freaks can
also extend their creativity and try out new fusion styles . This business in a non - seasonal
one and the charge doubles during festive times , hence turning out to be profitable.

10 . Beauty parlour

Beautification has been in process right from prehistoric times . Girls , most of them are
beauty conscious . Even guys give more importance to their appearance and hairstyles . To
some extent , makeover and styling boosts our personality .

A simple face cleanup costs around 400 rs in metros . They charge in thousands for facials ,
Hair spas, Pedicure and menicure . Some special treatments like pimple treatment ,
aromatherapy , dandruff therapy , golden facial (!!)etc., incur additional charges. Apart from
expenditure of cosmetics and styling products , service charges can result in profit.

Edit 1 : I forgot to mention that the person in Xerox shop knows about the syllabus better
than the students !!

Cheers !!

Kalrav Shah, Passionately Curious; Addicted To Insights


Updated Nov 16, 2016

I will write about the business in which I have experience: IT outsourcing. Its one of the
most profitable businesses in India these days.

Get outsourcing work in any domain. Technical/ Non technical / sell products. Apply simple
logic of demand and supply. Generate demand, find out a person willing to pay for services
or product. Create a platform that sells the products / form a company which provides
services. Sell it. Repeat…

Simple equation: Earn in dollars ( or any other foreign currency ) - spend in Indian RS
= Profit

Let me tell you my story..Post MBA I worked in IT domain as a business development


manager. I had a keen interest in starting something my own. I worked for 2.5 years with
couple of organisations including a small venture where I was the only marketing person.
That gave me lot of learning.
How did it all started? My role was to generate clients for my company. I had fairly good
amount of contacts in 2–3 years of my job. One day one of the person in USA to whom I
had approached for work for my employer told me : “well, I do not have any technical
project for your company but I liked the way you approached me for work. Would you do
the same work for my company? (marketing). I will pay you $20 per hour and you need to
do promotion and marketing of my company. You need to spend 4 hours a day”

I did mathematical calculation and took a calculated risk. I left my job and started working
part time. I used to make 1 lac per month working 4 hour a day- 5 days a week. I had
realised the potential of outsourcing while I was working. Since after being self employed,
now I had the confidence. I started pitching IT services to the people in USA. At that point of
time sharepoint and salesforce were booming in the market. I learnt the basics of both.
Formed the company solely focusing on one technology ( That was the brand positioning in
the chaotic market place. My USP ). Hired people from upwork, linkedin and various
mediums. I kept the margin low so that people stick for a long time. In the very first year the
revenue was very decent.

This was the earning per month- per client when I finally decided to move to my own office
from a co working space.

Main advantage is there is zero investment. I started it from my bedroom without spending
single penny in office etc. Trust me its doable. All you need is a computer, internet
connection, dedicated efforts, basic idea about the industry and skills ( and little courage). If
you have all these things. Go for it.. :)

I have seen my friends selling handicraft items and clothes in US market on an eCommerce
platform and making profit more than a crore per year.
Ahmadabad- the city where I live is really a ‘start up friendly place’. I would recommend
reading THIS.

Entrepreneurship journey isn’t as glamorous as it looks like. It has its own challenges. But let
me tell you all the efforts, learning and experiences are worth in the end! I recommend
considering the dark side of the business too. Most of the people see the shiny side and
avoid talking about the darker one. READ HERE

Originally Answered: What are the top 10 internet business models that are currently the most profitable
and easiest to copy in a new market?
Trick is find a niche that is under-served by bigger players. Make it easier or/and faster
or/and cheaper or/and more fun for a smaller customer segment and then make in-roads to
bigger customer segments. Prior success in smaller segment will give more resources,
credibility, and knowledge to break into bigger segment.

There are multiple dimensions in which the following ideas can be listed, but I am taking a
lazier way, which is what comes first to my mind. So the points are not mutually exclusive,
and I hope someone else can clean them up.
1. Online selling and charging transaction fees. eg. Amazon, Zappos,
2. Broker/matchmaker between buyers and sellers, and charging transaction fees.
eg. Ebay, Alibaba, oDesk, Etsy, AirBnB
3. Lead generator. eg. Pinterest, Evernote
4. Engage users and serve online ads. eg Google, Facebook
5. Providing a service and charging subscription: eg SalesForce, AWS, Netflix
6. Broker, and subscription based. eg Care, online dating sites Match, okCupid, job
sites such as Monster, Linkedin.
7. Fremium, giving basic features for free and charging for advanced features. eg
phone apps, Dropbox ,
8. Engage users to give data and sell access to customer's data, eg Facebook,
Google, Twitter, Linkedin, (SnapChat in future)
9. Content publishing sites where content is crowdsourced, eg Wikipedia, Quoara,
Stackoverflow
10. Deal sites eg Retailmenot, Groupon,
11. Review sites eg Yelp, Angie's List, Bizrate,
12. Disintermediate middle-men eg travel sites Orbitz, Expedia, and charge using
lead generation.
13. Give equipment/software for less/free, lock-in user and make money on
consultancy eg Oracle,  

PS: Relying only on fun part is difficult and less sustaining. Doing the same activity is not
fun, so it wears of quickly. Feeding digital fish and online farming (eg Zynga) can be fun for
small period and then user move onto something different and more fun. Snapchat seems
to be benefiting from this too.

Originally Answered: Which are the most profitable small businesses in India?


I work for one of the largest private banks in India and I work in the SME segment. To add
to it, I am posted in a comparatively remote city of India. Having said that, I would also
point out that most of the financial institutions here have a book size of somewhere near
30–40 crores. Most of the entities are manufacturers.

This is what I have understood after having worked in this segment for the past one year. If
you have extremely less capital, be a trader. Don't go for the popular products as that will
fetch you lesser margins. Go for lesser known products that have a comparable quality to
the popular products and push them in the market. Have a higher debtor turnover ratio (to
push your products aggressively in the market) . Try and control the inventory levels as
keeping that too high is a potential threat to your business model. Go for secured lending
since you have to support your working capital cycle. That will be on the higher side since it
is your first venture.

If you want even higher margins, be a manufacturer. Again try for products that fetch you
higher margins. You may try products that fetch you comparatively lesser margins if you're
confident with the process and products. However, in this case you will need to have a great
supply chain. Your logistics needs to be spot on.

Know this, only a handful can ideate something really out of the box and when they do so,
they go on to become the best. Hence, don't be upset if you're not onto something mind
boggling.

Finally, be efficient in what you do. Follow all the processes and try and don't compromise
with quality.

Originally Answered: What are the most profitable business ideas in India?


The best business with less amount these days are looking forward towards low cost
franchise business. Not all franchises require a huge investment and low-cost franchises
such as vending machine businesses are becoming more available.There are many reasons
that can be cited for entering a low-cost franchise and as the employment market and
financial climate continue to change, more and more people are looking to this as a serious
and viable option. But what are the advantages?

Being able to start out with a considerably low outlay at the beginning is very attractive. It
means that you can get your foot on the ladder of business with a small investment, often
without the need for taking out a business loan. A low-cost franchise can also help you start
building up skills in running your own business – with the right help and support from the
franchisor, you should soon be a dab-hand at getting the best out of your business! You do
need some enthusiasm, however – opting for a franchise purely because it is a cheap start-
up is not going to be the best option in the long-run.

Franchise business is on fire these days, my ideas for best franchise as looking forward to
this period of time is the company, who is achieving success day by day because of their
working ethics and responsibility of fulfilling there customers needs at time. The best
franchise I would like you take is Phixman. One of the most intruiging firm in India.
They are best because :-

 Significant capital required.


 Large overhead.
 Borrowed capital utilized must be repaid.
 Large time & expense requirements.
 Management problems related to span of control, supervision demands,
difficulty in hiring and maintaining competent managers.
Phixman. The best company to rely on or spending your money on these days, Phixman is
the Online Mobile Phone Repair Service Company. As we all know Smartphones has become
part of lives. We want Smartphones with us no matter what the situation is, and if it stops
working or gets broken, the pain is as same as a heart attack. But thanks to Phixman, We
can now get best repair for you mobile phone by sitting at your home. All we have to do is
just open the Phixman’s website, enter our address and that’s it. They will come to our place,
take our Smartphone, Repair it and then deliver back to you. That’s not it, we also get 1
month of warranty for our smartphones. This is currently very successful and a very
promising new concept for business.

Phixman is a total bargain, go for it!

Top 10 Most Profitable Businesses

Ecommerce

India has the world’s fast-growing internet population, and that’s an indicator of the huge
potential of e-commerce. The e-commerce segment is pegged at around $22 billion in
2015. The catch here is that there is serious brawn here. So there’s no point trying to
emulate a Flipkart or Snapdeal.
Food

Picture this, around 67% of India’s retail spending is dedicated to food and groceries. For a
generation that prefers convenience to groceries and estimates pegging the business as
close to $20 billion by 2020 the possibilities are endless.

Entertainment

India’s Media and Entertainment industry is currently increasingly driven by digitization and
higher internet usage. Consider this, the Indian media industry is expected to rise to Rs.
2,27,000 Crores by 2018. Estimates peg the industry to be growing at compound annual
growth rate of 15% from 2013 to 2018. Experts see around more than 10 billion mobile app
downloads in 2016. This upsurge will shoot company revenues from paid apps to over Rs.
15 billion.

Finance

Smart ways to save, invest and blow currency is never out of fashion. With the e-commerce
boom, the number of people using credit/debit cards and mobile wallets has increased
exponentially, and that’s just the tail of the tape. Innovative finance services are the need of
the hour. After all, who won’t want to save or blow cash in style!

Education

Technology has its perks. It’s a vehicle to offer affordable solutions for mass scale education.
There is also significant opportunity in the one-on-one training segment.

Travel

This includes traditional online travel portals like MakeMyTrip, Yatra or Ibibo and several
niche players with upcoming segments like ride sharing, alternate accommodation, and so
on.

Healthcare and Pharma

Where there is a body, there ought to be ailments. It’s as simple as that. Recent innovations
in the digital healthcare segment with statups like Practo1, Lybrate and 1mg have eased
access to doctors. Add to that the Pharma home delivery services the preventive healthcare,
sensors, data and medical devices industries, and you have a burgeoning business right
there.

Enterprise software

People could get their hands on legitimate software with software rights, and you’d make
money. This is a place where you’ll make money from volume.

Internet Structure

The internet has changed our lives in more ways. We juice it out to our heart’s content,
often unconscious of how we would have reacted differently less than a decade ago.
Imagine goods and services that can leverage the power of the Internet to one’s advantage.
This includes security, communication, etc. There is an ungodly amount of money to be
made here.
Government

Digital India campaign is only a drop in the ocean. Our government’s outdated softwares
are begging for a swanky revamp. If you think you’re out of the ‘10-6 Sarkari naukri’, think
again. The country’s buck stops here buddy!

All The Best!!!

Get one thing clear, Every business is profitable but some takes time to get profitable and
some gives profit early.

From your question it is clear that your looking for something that takes less money,less
time and gives returns early, their are few business though but that kind of business takes
skills most of the time.And one thing is important some business gives returns soon but the
returns are less and maybe not profitable in future so be ready.

If you really want to start a business then you need to research a lot on following things.

1. Your skills and area of interest


2. Find niche and search mentor
3. Capital and partners
4. Demand of your business in that market.
5. Study competitative business
6. Marketing
7. A solid business plan
8. Cons of doing business
9. Age group that directly and indirectly affect by your product/services
10. and don’t do if you have seen people who are earning a lot after starting a
particular business so you can do similar in short time as they did.
P.S : I am not a business person but a good observer.

Megha Girdher, studied Fashion and Designing


Answered Dec 6, 2018

The hunt for funding has been the bane of an entrepreneur’s existence from times of yore.
Many abandon their dream to build, create, and innovate in the face of this difficult struggle
without realising that a good business idea will eventually pool in the bounty-full once it has
secured a place in the market.

Your idea will bring you your company, your company will bring you the people, and the
people will bring you the market. And as we all know, a good idea has no monetary value,
just a whole lot of bursting potential. Today, the world’s most successful entrepreneurs like
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk may hold the possibility of building pyramids
out of notes, but none of them started at the top of the ladder. Facebook was created out of
a Harvard dorm room at minimal cost and Microsoft was formed two years after Gates
decided to drop out of college.

The reason to stress on these remarkable entrepreneurial stories is because they provide an
important lesson for all those wishing to embark on a similar journey that a single great idea
is the most important step to creating a game-changing business. And sometimes, if you
plan it well, these ideas can build you a company at the lowest initial-costs while getting you
the highest possible returns.

Tracing the business history of our country, it has been noted that the market is ripe for the
ambitious entrepreneur to dominate it today. Some individuals may have the business
acumen to influence the market but have not yet managed to narrow down on a single idea
to begin with.

But as Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” On that positive note, here are a
few business ideas that I believe can be launched within an initial cost of Rs 10,000:

Travel agency
The travel industry in India has witnessed a boom in the past decade. Keeping to people’s
changing habits and their desire for the ultimate ‘wanderlust’, the time is ripe for aspiring
entrepreneurs to put their money where the map is. The most cost-effective measure to
open up a home-based travel agency is by tying up with a host-agency. By doing so, you
will receive the benefits of pace (helping you get your ARC, CLIA, or IATA number faster),
convenience (they perform all the ‘back-end functions’), and help you earn higher
commissions and keep your costs low. While the rates differ according to the host agencies,
your main initial costs that will fall within Rs 10,000.

Mobile recharge shop

Even with online recharge, in India most mobile-users prefer visiting a recharge shop to fill
their balance. So those looking to practise this business can start by renting a space in a
small local shop. This rent will be the primary (monthly) expenditure. You also need to form
ties with the network providers of the area, such as Airtel, Vodafone, Idea etc., and pen
down their commission rates, where they will receive a cut of your profits from the sale of
the commodities taken from them. Assuming that you aren’t looking to rent out a shop-
space in any expensive real-estate property, your overall costs will definitely feature below
the Rs. 10,000 scale.

Breakfast joint
You must have noticed how those little breakfast and tea stores across your city are almost
always filled with customers. This is because food as a commodity will always do well in a
competitive market. To open up your own breakfast joint, you need to invest money in
renting a space for it, after having received a permit for it from the respective authorities. If
your rent is within Rs 5000 a month, you can dedicate the rest of your budget on buying
groceries and other raw materials as well as second-hand tables and chairs.

Tuition centre

This is possibly one of the most cost-effective businesses to launch, due to its near zero
starting cost requirement. Most tuition-teachers take classes in their own homes, thus
eliminating any expenditure on rent and supplies. The only effort you need to put in as a
tuition teacher is to take to advertise yourself on social media or go the old school way with
flyers and ‘word-of-mouth’ recommendations.

Fruit juice kiosk

Who doesn’t appreciate fresh fruit-juice on a sweltering day? To tap into this lucrative
business, you have to start by requesting for a permit to open a kiosk in a chosen locality,
preferably one that is hard to miss. Following this, you will need to pay rent for shop-space.
Other than this, the only other investment you need to put your money up for is for the
purchase of the raw materials, supplies like machines for making the juice, and the salaries
of the employee(s) making the juice.

Garment tailor

In cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, and Delhi, the demand for good tailors has increased tenfold
due to the increasing popularity of self-made designs. Other than a small rented space, you
only need to invest in powerful sewing and stitching machines, and of course electricity.

Online bakery
While names like ‘Ovenfresh’ have taken years of hard-work, recruitment, and funding to
reach where they are today, it only goes to show that the market is ripe for online food-
based services, especially in the realm of baked foods. Single-handedly run online baking
companies are popular, too, like Confectioner’s Touch by 23-year-old Charulata Ghosh from
Kolkata, which has been turning heads and raising numbers since its inception in 2013.

“I started off with very little. Like Rs 2,000. But as my business proceeded, I was able to
invest in other things like Zomato, custom boxes, and cake boards,” says Charulata, who is
up to her elbows in cake considering the non-stop online orders coming her way.

Blogging

This is possibly one of the most lucrative fields to tap into in the digital age. Professional
blogging requires only a minimal start-up cost. You only have to invest in a domain name
and hosting space –initially at least – which in its ‘unlimited’ capacity costs a maximum of
roughly Rs 3600. As for promoting your blogs through the right channels, the cost-free and
limitless expanse of the internet is all you need.

YouTube channel
YouTube is a hotspot for creative and talented individuals looking for great returns with
little monetary investment. YouTube allows its users to create independent channels and
upload their videos for free. In fact, it even pays some YouTubers whose channels are
popular. To know more about how to make money out of your YouTube channel, click here.

Event organising

Event managers barely spend any time in office. They are best at networking and managing,
checking out the hundreds of venues, meeting sponsors, scheduling performances, and
basically being on the field 24/7. On that basis, their demand revolves around their brand
image and popularity, which can be built with a good online marketing strategy. However,
the overall startup cost for building this brand is minimal, if at all priced.

Wedding consultants
The term ‘big fat Indian wedding’ exists for a reason. This is because weddings are taken
very seriously by almost all cultures making up our diversified society. Today, even
multinational corporations like Uber are tapping into this lucrative industry and centring
their campaign on it. The most important investment you need to make to launch a
wedding consultancy is in maintaining a popular website for it. The best way to reach out to
potential clients in this field is online. Thus, ensure that your website has the requisite base
of followers and is detailed, accessible, and colourful.

Online courses

While any form of education is priceless in its ideal, it can still be priced for a good value.
Developing and running an online course for students interested in learning a subject is a
profitable feat. While some online-course providers may offer the course for free on their
own personalised websites, most usually tie up with other digital content companies, which
provide them with the tools to carry out their lessons. In this too, the maximum cost you will
incurred would be the minimum amount you pay for your domain name and hosting space,
or to the digital content company in question for them to feature your course on their
platform.

Photography
Assuming that you intend to take up professional photography, you may already are in
possession of a high-definition camera. Without taking the latter’s cost into consideration,
as an aspiring photographer looking to take on independent projects, the only investment
you need to make is your time in building your profile online.

Ghost writing

Ghost writing may not be recommended as a primary profession, but it definitely ranks as
high as any of its counterparts, considering the standard amount that a prospective client is
willing to pay for a story to be written anonymously. Here too, the best way to make clients
reach out to you is through recommendations, be it online or in person, and your only
investment, after accepting the project, is your time. This is extremely lucrative, since clients
usually offer exorbitant amounts as compensation for writing their story for them.

to earn money online, you must understand few basics..

You never earn any if you are one of those who think their Typing is skill and they can earn
by that. Typing is skills no doubt, but not to earn money sure. Many people think, online

Second, when you willing to earn online, you must do some work , and for that you must
invest money to purchase basic resources. Only computer and internet connection are not
enough to get started. Its only basic things, you must need more to get job done.

Go around any commercial market. Close to 90% of the shops are cloth stores. Who the hell
knows the actual price? You buy clothes (may be in weight I heard from whole sale dealers).
For example, the landing cost may be Rs 100 per piece for you. You label it Rs 1000 and
offer 20% discount, sell it for Rs 800. Who the hell knows actual price? Mint money! That’s
why we see millions of cloth stores every where around.

Next come in line, the foot wear shops, optical shops, barber shops and gold shops. No
common man can ever actually guess correct price. That’s the fodder of your business.

Now the food stalls and hotels! My god! So many push cart stalls all around!! All are busy
minting money. The average person had outsourced kitchen. More and more people
despise and hate any physical work. Cooking is being perceived as a hassle and avoidable
ordeal. There’s a visible exponential growth in the % of people out sourcing their daily food
needs. This is going to remain an evergreen business, in my personal opinion.

Had there been a single list applicable to all the time and business scenarios, it would have
worked to list one. Unfortunately, very nature of these kind of lists invites further
competitions and sooner or later reduces it to like any other average businesses.

Having said that, there are businesses in India that provides lucrative returns in short term
but its sustainability over long run is questionable. My top picks are:-

Food & Restaurant business :- This is one sector that works wonderfully, especially having
vegetarian menus in India. Since, the cost of raw materials is much cheaper with year long
availability and no. of vegetarian customers are so huge, with nobody minding eating
vegetarian fares in India, it always delivers if the quality is good. Combined with the fact that
variety of Indian vegetarian cuisine is so much that you can keep your customers engaged
all year round.

Since, most of the food and restaurant businesses combines both non veg and veg cuisine
in India, causing average price to go up leading to lack of vegetarian food at that price level.

Real Estate :- The shortages of suitable low cost housings is something that is largely
unexploited. Neither there is lack of land nor the lack of demand, most of the raw materials
and infrastructure is also present, however faulty government policies and unscrupulous
behaviour of builders have caused artificial scarcity, the price point for a unit of housing is
kept so steep, effectively repressing the growth of housing industries. Current spate of
imprisonment of promoters of these companies is if any indicator, then I guess there could
be a huge opportunity in this sector.

Microfinance or finance targeted at the lower levels of economic strata. India is a huge
country where most of its populations is devoid of financial products targeted specifically to
customers having low income power. These set of consumers have just recently been
brought into the fold of banking, however there is very few financial products that are tailor
made for them. The range of products could be from banking, insurance, health insurance,
small loans etc.

Entertainment & media - This is another sector that can swell to serious levels provided you
can catch them at the local level. India is country of huge language diversity and to target
them individually in their mother tongues can pay rich dividends. Even if you target a small
community in their own language, other then English or Hindi, there is pretty good chance
you will be successful. India has 24 nationally recognised languages, and none of them have
population less than 10 million. Just tailor made stuff for them and see the magic.

Originally Answered: What are the top 10 internet business models that are currently the most profitable
and easiest to copy in a new market?
There is a contradiction in the question: What are the top 10 internet business models that
are currently the most profitable and easiest to copy in a new market?

The most profitable business model will not be the easiest to copy since by definition
anyone can copy that business model, compete with the original business model and so
bring down the profits of the business model as a whole.

Examples of most profitable internet business models typically depend on dominating the
long-tail. This requires these businesses to operate at a lower cost than if manual / human
processing was required, and capitalize on improving the signal to noise ratio using
algorithms at scale. It is difficult for substitute businesses to develop the same scale later as
collecting huge amounts of long-tail data takes a long time (years)

Google search: Have data on long-tail search terms and creates a market place where
participants can bid to reach most relevant customers.

Amazon.com: Have organized information of long-tail products for sale and offer
unparalleled selection, prices are reasonable, inventory overheads are low (they need to
stock a few items globally compared to a few items per physical store)

Ebay: Created an auction marketplace where buyers can bid for long-tail products offered
by sellers world-wide. The larger the number of buyers, the larger the number of sellers and
Ebay makes a cut off each transaction.

Wikipedia or Yahoo Answers: Long-tail content is generated by users at little / low expense
to the company, content is relevant and used years after it was originally created. Bulk of the
content is accessed only a few times every month but collectively drives billions of page
views a month. This can be harvested by basic online advertising.

Answered May 28

there are so money business should you start in India.its all dependent on you. which
business you should choose? which service you provided? how to maintain your service?

1.) Bus Service Website:


This is a minimal effort web-based business that can make you a tycoon. As 80% individuals
travel by transports in India and individuals dependably want to know previously the
calendar of transports and every one of the subtleties identified with them like ticket rates,
transport courses, and so on. So it can truly be an incredibly gainful business and that too
with an exceptionally low venture in the event that you enable individuals to book
transports from your site or an application.

A transport administration site like India's No #1 Bus Ticket Booking Company, Volvo, AC


and RTC Buses - redBus.in which gives insights about this would demonstrate to be
valuable. It will likewise give subtleties of the channels from which the ticket can be reserved
or can win their bonus by booking the tickets themselves. This business requires precise
information about interstate and intercity transport courses. Be that as it may, it is basic to
have great IT abilities to keep up the site and speak with the clients. This business involves
base speculation of Rs. 2,00,000 and the normal gross benefit is near 10%. The base interim
expected to accomplish earn back the original investment in this business is 5 months.

2.) Property Management:

On the off chance that you have a base start-up spending plan of Rs. 3,00,000 this business
can demonstrate to be truly productive. You simply need to get hold of an appropriate
working environment and be prepared to assume the liability of the nitty gritty
documentation methods and reports of the customers. Along these lines, sparing a ton of
their time. The pre-imperative for this business is satisfactory deals and advertising
aptitudes. Additionally, you can hope to accomplish a gross benefit of around half and can
achieve the status of make back the initial investment inside a month.
3.) Event Management:

Occasion Management has dependably remained the most gainful business in India. Be it a
wedding service or an organization's item dispatch or some other capacity, individuals
incline toward that it is composed and celebrated on great scales. Be that as it may, the host
might not have room schedule-wise to take care of each and every detail of the capacity.
Imagination demonstrates to be a major event in making this calling an effective one. With
gross benefits of practically 10% and base speculation of Rs. 3,00,000, this organization can
accomplish the status of equal the initial investment relying upon the nature of tasks that it
gets.

4.) Online ads Service:

With the blast in the IT area, the interest in online promotions is expanding. Each individual
attempts that the subtleties of their items and administrations achieve the intended interest
group. For this, they are prepared to pay the site proprietors who can furnish them with
suitable space. In the event that you have great information of systems administration and
media arranging and have contacts with the site proprietors, at that point this business can
get you a gross benefit of 22% with the base venture of Rs. 4,00,000 and the base time
interim to accomplish equality is a multi-year.

5.) Scrap Collection:

There is a chaotic part that includes cloth pickers, nearby kabaris, middle people, reusing
manufacturing plants and well-off businesspeople who work upon the undertaking of scrap
accumulation and acquire a lot of benefit while running parallel to the MCD's waste
administration framework. It is a multi-crore business in which the casual waste gathering
and transfer area work begins actually without any preparation. In the event that you
choose to manage the piece, at that point you can contact any assembling organization and
make an arrangement with them. You can gather their piece materials and pitch them at a
lot higher rates to the businesses or individuals who need it.

6.) restaurants:

While India has always been a food-loving country with each region having its own special
cuisine, Indians have never been very big on eating out. But all that is changing now. The
restaurant industry in India has been growing at a rapid pace over the last decade or so and
the growth story is set to continue for the next foreseeable future.There were nearly 22 lakh
hotel and restaurant establishments in India in 2002. The food service or restaurant industry
was worth a whopping Rs. 43,000 crores in 2010 and growing at a healthy rate of 15-20
percent annually.More and more young folk began to leave home to work in other cities
and towns and for them takeaways and dining out became necessary. This was
accompanied by an increase in disposable income and a general willingness to spend on the
experience of dining out.

7.) consultancy and co-working:

To wrap things up consultancy and contracting are a generally excellent and effective


business thought. This business requires skill and area learning. This business requires less
business capital.

Why Consultancy and Contracting business is a fruitful business thought?

There's a developing requirement for advisors and contractual workers in all fields including
building, advertising, and logical ventures. Huge organizations are even prepared to offer
extremely rewarding installment for good specialists and temporary workers.

I hope this answer helps you.

The top 10 most profitable businesses in India are:

1. Website designing

A good company website is easy to attract more potential customers. This is one of the
reasons why large or small businesses should have a website of their own. In 2018, India has
more than 400 million people use the internet- accounting for about 30% of the population
– a very potential market for website design business.

2. Selling Products Online

You can set up an e-shop and start selling your goods online in your living room. You can
focus on local customers in India only, or you can target the overseas online shoppers- then
you are already in the international export business.

3. Travel agency- traditional but very profitable business in India

You can start a different business in the travel/tourism sector such as: organizing tours,
airline ticketing, travel consultancy, travel agency…

To run a successful travel business and attract more customers use the service, we need to
do an research for potential customers. Analyze and meet the needs of customers in a
timely manner, bring satisfaction to customers.

4. Fashion Boutique- Import foreign brands and sell them as premium

In the light of Indian rising middle class, it is clear, that there are business opportunities
available. If you are able to select a right niche and focus on the right target group, you can
have a profitable business in India.

5. Foods and beverages

But the restaurant business is also very competitive.


In order to be successful in it, two things matter most:
You need to select the right niche and style ( such which has a big demand, but
low supply)
 The most important is- right location.
6. Pharmacy business- Probably most profitable manufacturing business in India

In recent years, the Indian pharmaceutical industry has created its own position. India is
country known for supplying low-cost generic drugs to the global market, which has grown
and matured more with the development of technology and product research.

7. Café business- Popular small business in India

8. Steel & building materials store- traditional local business

In recent years, India’s steel mills have recorded record highs to meet the growing demand
for infrastructure, new homes, and consumer goods in the country. With high growth rates,
the Indian steel industry is expected to produce about 300 million tonnes by 2029-2030.

9. Mobile phone business

India is becoming one of the hottest mobile markets in the world. The number of mobile
users in India is roughly the size of the US population, and the number of users is expected
to increase substantially in the future.

India has 650 million mobile users, but just over 300 million people own smartphones and
that number will increase by more than 50% over the next few years. This is a great
opportunity for smartphone makers.

10. Graphic designing business- suitable for artistic people

Graphical design can be a good choice for a person who has artistic talent. This kind of
business is not suitable for everyone. But if you are talented in art and you have the
necessary skills, then this business can be for you the most profitable business in India with
low investment.

Don't know about 10 but i think the following two will top the list:

1. Devotional market: In a country with numerous babas and people ready to drink
cow pee for religious reasons you can always make them accept new babas. It is all
about the right combination of fear and religion.
2. Education: Take a look around at all the coaching centres. Recently i saw a flex
board that guaranteed entry to some specific companies with the help of their
course.

A business where people visit because of their needs and not because of yours.

Confused?

Let me explain,

Disclaimer: I can’t say about the top 10, but I believe that the business idea should be the
one that drives you huge sums of profit in no time and this answer is exactly about that.

I very recently came across an answer on Quora where a person has narrated a conversation
between him and the barber about the earnings of the shop owner. You’ll be more than
surprised to know that the owner is making a monthly earnings of more than Rs. 10 lacs.
Yes you read it right, Rs 10 lacs a month by simply running a barber shop.

Isn’t it a fantastic business idea? As people would visit the shop recurrently because they
need a haircut every 1–2 months.
You may read the full conversation between the man and the barber here, where the barber
explains how the owner is making so much profit: Mrinal Khurana's answer to Why do
most Indians seek jobs rather than building a business?

Jignesh Barasara, Entrepreneur


Answered Jun 1, 2018

With the advent of time preferences of people change. So what was relevant a decade ago
may not be that significant in 2018. That applies for the business world too. also with the
advancements in technology there is are new avenues in the entrepreneurial world too.

Going by that in today’s scenario I feel that the following 10 businesses can be more
profitable.

1. A mobile phone accessories and repair shop. Today there is a lot of demand for mobile
phones and it is going to rise in the coming future. So setting up a shop for repair and also
selling accessories will be really profitable.
2. Restaurant or eatery. This is an all-time favorite. However, you need to innovate here
and offer some services that will attract more customers. Like offer of Wi Fi, accepting
payment via wallets and online portals, creating a mod environ, music and so on. you can
add certain other facilities on request or as per demand of the customers. This will bring in
more customers and your eatery is bound to flourish if you offer healthy snacks. The health
conscious too won’t mind having a bite at your place.

3. Job recruitment agency. This also has many takers. You can provide consultancy as well
as some skill development training too. your agency will be flocked by youngsters and job
seekers. Yes, you should not try to fleece them. Then it will be a short lived enterprise and
the risk of getting caught is high and you may lose your reputation too.

4. A shop or outlet for office supplies. There are always new products introduced into the
market. These products have a huge margin and are always in demand. Putting up a shop in
a commercial area may work very well. You can also add a web page and start online
shopping for this venture.
5. Website designing. This can be done from home or you can have a small office set up.
digitization is on the rise so people always are on the lookout for web designers. So if you
are interested in web designing you can take up a course in this and the start your web
designing service.

6. Event management. Today people love partying. Even birthday celebrations need to be
grand. Not many people know how to decorate the venue beautifully. They are always on
the lookout for professional help and you can step in. there are thousands of events taking
place all around and there is a huge competition. If you manage to give some novel ideas,
you can rule this world.
7. Counselling. This is a very good business as of today. If you like talking to people and
like giving advice, then it is high time you start a consultancy. Today you have so many
young people who going astray and also are in a great dilemma about their career, life,
relationships and so on. they need a shoulder to cry and vent out. If you lend one, of course
for a small fee you will not be short of clients.

8. Pet care business. Today many people prefer to stay childless but do not mind having
pets. But they do not have the knowhow about taking care of them. There are many more
houses with pets today in the urban areas. And there is a lack of proper pet care system in
place. If you fill this void you are sure gong to thrive. Of course you need to have love for all
kinds of pets.
9. Sports coach. This is also lucrative business. Not many young ones are in the know about
the sports that they wish to play. Today sports can be a profession. So many more people
are coming forward to take some formal coaching to join this arena to make sports their
career. All you need to do is have some good coaching skills in the particular sport.

10. Gym. Buy some gym equipment and set up shop. You can see a lot of people joining it
with ease. Today fitness is a rage. Offering training and a prospect to exercise at a
reasonable rate that come with some sops will establish you as a gym instructor or owner
with ease.
These are just some of the ideas which I Jignesh Barasara an entrepreneur felt were so
pertinent in today’s world. there may be many more and this is not an exhaustive list nor are
all the entries in order of preference. You may need to add some skills to start these. Unless
you do these startups may not work as desired.

I don't know weather I can count up to 10 but can give some highly profitable businesses.

1. RESTAURANT- India is a country who is always hungry.People always want


something to eat and also love to taste something different.When Mac D and
other western food chains arrived in India no one was pretty much sure what
next,but eventually people accepted it and now we have our own Indian
MacDonalds Menus.
2. REAL ESTATE-Though the current situation is a little shaky, real estate is the
backbone of this country.Opening of new foriegn companies,Metros are causing
the land prices to rise to new records,so it makes highly profitable.
3. ELECTRONICS-Gone are the days of Black and White TVs,now almost more than
half of the population uses smartphones and are eagerly waiting for new updates
to arrive in markets.Though online purchasing have some effects on it but still its a
profitable one.
4. TRAVEL SERVICES-This may sound wiered but due to rising fuel prices and
increasing pollution people have started to avoid there vehicles and are
depending on private vehicles especially in Metro Cities.So agencies are at a
boom.

India is all time favorite destination for international companies to outsource their
Telemarketing, Sales, Lead generation, Appointment setting campaigns, Business
Development etc.

they save operation cost, make good margin in profits by reducing liabilities in outsourcing.
So they can offer high commissions ( pay ) to call centers who are working on such.
Utilize such opportunities, Write a proper business plan, Implement it , Use quality
manpower ( which we have access easily) , Use technology to reduce operation cost,

Start work from home, after sufficient experience , confidence expand business gradually.

Avoid to fall for easy money schemes by scammers.

“When you save, your money sits idle. When you invest, your money multiplies.’

Your investment choices can significantly impact the rate at which your money compounds.
And we at S&S Management provide the right avenue for investment with assurance of
delivery of superior profit returns.Here are the reasons to why you should invest in us:

•Assured Profit Return: Unlike mutual funds and all such traditional forms of investment,
your investment is not subjected to market risk. While earning is your job, investing it wisely
and delivering high returns is ours. Your profit returns will not be affected by the
organization’s overall profits and losses. Whether our firm earns a profit or suffers a loss,
you will always get your profit return on every 30th day (or the next working day in case of a
bank holiday) without fail. Thus investing in us is an excellent way to enjoy high returns with
zero risk.

•Lifelong Profit Return: Once you have invested in us, you can be rest assured for all your
life.You will get your profit returns each month without fail lifelong. Along with that, you can
also mention a nominee who will then benefit from your profit return for all their lives.

• Highest Percentage of Profit Return: We do not just claim to have the highest
percentage of profit return, it is a fact that we do. Be it fixed deposits, mutual funds or any
other traditional forms of investment, none of them assure a profit return as high as ours.
One time investment may result in guaranteed profit returns as high as 5% to 9%.

• Investment for a Greater Cause: Your investment goes into our projects and since we
work on the model of social entrepreneurship, your investment does not just assure you
with a secure profit return, but you are also helping people belonging to the weaker
sections of the society with the same.

This is easily accessible to all classes but for the underprivileged who earn less than 3 Lakhs
per annum and have managed to save some money but are still not able to meet the
minimum investment requirement, they can also invest a lower capital amount. For that,
along with the rest of the necessary documents, they will also have to submit their income
certificate.

The profitable business these days are to own a franchise of a top growing organization. In
a franchise business, the franchisor provides a developed way of doing business, ongoing
guidance, systems and assistance in return for periodic payment of fees and/or purchases.

Buying a franchise can be a viable alternative to starting your own business.


 Franchises offer the independence of small business ownership supported by
the benefits of a big business network.
 You don't necessarily need business experience to run a franchise. Franchisors
usually provide the training you need to operate their business model.
 Franchises have a higher rate of success than start-up businesses.
 You may find it easier to secure finance for a franchise. It may cost less to buy a
franchise than start your own business of the same type.
 Franchises often have an established reputation and image, proven
management and work practices, access to national advertising and ongoing
support.

Start small to go big: here are some profitable businesses you can start in India within
Rs 10,000

Travel agency
The travel industry in India has witnessed a boom in the past decade. Keeping to people’s
changing habits and their desire for the ultimate ‘wanderlust’, the time is ripe for aspiring
entrepreneurs to put their money where the map is. The most cost-effective measure to
open up a home-based travel agency is by tying up with a host-agency. By doing so, you
will receive the benefits of pace (helping you get your ARC, CLIA, or IATA number faster),
convenience (they perform all the ‘back-end functions’), and help you earn higher
commissions and keep your costs low. While the rates differ according to the host agencies,
your main initial costs that will fall within Rs 10,000.

Mobile recharge shop

Even with online recharge, in India most mobile-users prefer visiting a recharge shop to fill
their balance. So those looking to practise this business can start by renting a space in a
small local shop. This rent will be the primary (monthly) expenditure. You also need to form
ties with the network providers of the area, such as Airtel, Vodafone, Idea etc., and pen
down their commission rates, where they will receive a cut of your profits from the sale of
the commodities taken from them. Assuming that you aren’t looking to rent out a shop-
space in any expensive real-estate property, your overall costs will definitely feature below
the Rs. 10,000 scale.

Street-side book stall


If you’ve ever crossed by the Flora Fountain area of Mumbai or College Street in Kolkata,
you’ve probably encountered scores of little second-hand book stalls thronged by avid
readers and flustered students. The first thing to do is set up a stall with a permit, which
needs the right local contacts, following which your only investment is purchasing a dozen
or so books from other sellers to start the business of second-hand book exchanging.

Tea stall

Can you imagine a world without tea? What would we do with our evenings? While the tea-
industry as a whole has done exceptionally well over the decades, the smaller tea stall
owners have definitely been reaping the benefits of their overall success. Besides a basic
budget for renting a small room or stall for space, the only other investment you need to
make is on buying tea from the manufacturers and purchasing makeshift benches and
tables.

Garment tailor

In cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, and Delhi, the demand for good tailors has increased tenfold
due to the increasing popularity of self-made designs. Other than a small rented space, you
only need to invest in powerful sewing and stitching machines, and of course electricity.

Originally Answered: What are the most profitable business ideas in India?


Like Mr. Anil Kumar rightly said, the answer is Franchising.

Building your own business from ground up needs more effort than Franchising. You not
only have to engage in day-to-day operations but on the side, you have to build your
brand, a reason for your potential customers to identify, understand, and approach your
company.

Inside Franchising, International Food and Beverage Franchising is the considered to be


the best option that has provided people with returns in under a year.

The Archadin Group is one such organization that works with various reputed International
F&B Brands, helping them in establishing their grounds in India. You can visit their website
and look at the opportunities they can provide you with.

At the first glance of the website, they do not provide you the names of the brands
explicitly, you will need to fill their contact form post which their uber friendly team will get
in touch with you and give a free consultation.

Hi guys,
Starting a new business is really a great idea. But choosing a profitable business is not an
easy task that wants some proper guidance and research. Most of the new entrepreneurs
are choosing a business without any knowledge that is the main reason for getting loos.

I suggest the top 10 profitable business in India…That is…

 IT support service
 Automobile parts manufacturer
 Restaurant
 Event management & wedding planning
 Tailoring service (online)
 Courier delivery service
 Travel agency
 Consultant service
 Mobile phone service shop
 Training Institute
With these, I suggest one of the best business get high profit in a short duration. That is a
courier delivery service. If you don’t have much money to start your courier business means
to start a courier franchise with low investment.

to ask this question is kind of stupid. business itself is essence of profit making and any
business can be most profitable provided you pull it off right. generally people asking this
question are looking for easy ways to make money which is not really a realistic case. my
advice to anyone who thinks about starting their own business is to do through market
research first hand about that business for a fair amount of time. dont ask people or freinds
or same people in business . do it yourself and find out if this is something you can do for
long amount of time and would suit to your lifestyle or not. for example food business
seems to be a highly lucrative business for everyone like omg people are paying upfront
and people are going to eat all the time. people dont see how much time it takes of yours .
normally on an average its more than 18 hours work a day can you work 18 hours a day go
do it . hence market research to find out most profitable business for you .

Rubi Saxena, MBA from Lovely Professional University- LPU (2016)


Answered Oct 3

As Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” On that positive note, here are a
few business ideas that we believe can be the most profitable businesses in India

Women boutique for kurtis


For starting a boutique you need to have a business plan. In the plan, you must consider all
the costs and include your goals. The second thing you will have to do, is to find some
trusted kurti manufacturers or women clothing wholesalers where you can find ready-
made wholesale kurtis online for your kurti business. after setting up your store, you will
need to promote it. So you can use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
etc. To promote your business.

Travel agency

The most cost-effective measure to open up a home-based travel agency is by tying up with
a host-agency. By doing so, you will receive the benefits of pace, convenience and help you
earn higher commissions and keep your costs low.

Mobile recharge shop

Even with online recharge, in India, most mobile-users prefer visiting a recharge shop to fill
their balance. So those looking to practise this business can start by renting a space in a
small local shop.

Breakfast joint

To open up your own breakfast joint, you need to invest money in renting a space for it,
after having received a permit for it from the respective authorities.

Tuition centre

This is possibly one of the most cost-effective businesses to launch, due to its near-zero
starting cost requirement. Most tuition-teachers take classes in their own homes, thus
eliminating any expenditure on rent and supplies.

Garment tailor

In cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, and Delhi, the demand for good tailors has increased tenfold
due to the increasing popularity of self-made designs. Other than a small rented space, you
only need to invest in powerful sewing and stitching machines, and of course electricity.

Online bakery

The market is ripe for online food-based services, especially in the realm of baked foods.
Single-handedly run online baking companies are popular, too.

Blogging
This is possibly one of the most lucrative fields to tap into the digital age. Professional
blogging requires only a minimal start-up cost. You only have to invest in a domain name
and hosting space –initially at least.

YouTube channel

YouTube is a hotspot for creative and talented individuals looking for great returns with
little monetary investment. YouTube allows its users to create independent channels and
upload their videos for free. It even pays some YouTubers whose channels are popular.

Wedding consultants

The term ‘big fat Indian wedding’ exists for a reason. This is because weddings are taken
very seriously by almost all cultures making up our diversified society. Today, even
multinational corporations like Uber are tapping into this lucrative industry and centring
their campaign on it.

After lot of research work I came to conclusion. Try to be a religious Guru - No qualification,
no risk, no investment, no technical skills, no competition nothing required and you get
everything money, name, fame all kind of comfort. Just go ahead and become one
religious/spiritual Guru and enjoy life.

Remember if you can fool more n more people you can enjoy more n more. Truth of life is -
you can't enjoy money if you can't fool people.

Fooling styles are so many some say it's business skills other say technical or professional
skills.

But when you serve society fulfilling your basic needs you are most comfortable and feel
good factor is on the top.

Now choice is yours which way you choose! Wishing you all the best whichever way you

Answered Apr 30

1. Career Counseling Service - Also known as employment or vocational counselors. As the


competition in the market increases, there is a rapid growth of employment counselors
because more career-driven individuals seek professional advice in making career decisions.
2. Accounting and financial services - While this industry may sound boring -
bookkeeping, payroll, tax compliance, accounting advice and software, advisory services,
financial/investment advice, etc - these practitioners become a whole lot more interesting
when they are standing on their wallets. They enjoy the profit of around 23-26%, have
enormous pricing power and their services are seen as must-haves, not discretionary
spends.

3. Restaurant - To begin the Indian restaurant business you need to be informed about all
varieties of foods that make up Indian food. To design a fruitful café business you should
ensure you have your fund or cash set up. Money is the most significant errand to deal with.

4. Recruitment Business - starting your own recruitment business can help make the
business industry better since you are the one who will be looking for competent and
reliable job seekers. Also, you are given the errand by entrepreneurs to enable them to
make a strong group which can support them.

5. Telemarketing Service - More businesses will be looking for telemarketing services as


the competition in the market intensifies. There's still no match for telemarketing because
it's personalized and very effective in reaching your target market.

6. Event Management - Beginning an occasion the executives business is like beginning a


relationship - it's required to have suitable abilities and pursue some significant strides to
make progress.

 Gain Event Management Skills and Experience


 Determine Your Event Management Market
 Develop a Business Plan
 Develop a Network of Suppliers and Staffing Resources
7. Advertising Agency - The need to dominate the market is important for every business,
that's why advertising agencies are in business. Companies sometimes outsource their
marketing arm to advertising companies so they can have professional handle their
advertising needs.

8. Coaching Classes - With our culture of competition for education, coaching classes have
popped up in every nook and cranny of the country. No quality checks and no uniform
standards make this a good business for fly by night operators.

9. Fitness Center - The fitness world is growing at a very fast pace and as more and more
people around the world are becoming health conscious, regularly going to gym, morning
walks, proper diet plans are becoming a part and parcel of everyday life.

10. Online Seller - According to a report released by the Internet and Mobile Association of
India on the E-commerce industry in India, a growth of 47% in the e-commerce market is
expected. Online travel industry adds around 76% to the total E-commerce market today. I
suggest you start your own business, get some experience by selling stuff either on
Amazone, Flipkart & Paytm or at your own website.

Buying own car is important and for that minimum investment need to be at least 150,000
for sure. also note Car rental business is good and excellent only when you come with a
freedom to work for any one. I am not advice to be in contract with single vendor.

let understand this with an example. we at Cablo Car rental having 15000+ Driver partner in
more than 10+ cities and they are working with us on contract basis.

Since we are premium providers so even with 5 trip a month for outstation they will able to
earn more than 40–50K and rest of the day they are working for local services any where for
any other vendor.

this give them freedom and extra money so that in first two -three years they will complete
and closed the Loan and then earn higher income.

Yes one factor that become deterrent for your profit is your work attitude. Remember car
rental is not for your profit only this is for consumer and best service to consumer with best
price is what we meant for.

hence if you come with short terms goal them you will not be in the list of successful driver
owner at all.

Answer to this cant be simple & straight. One way to look at it is in which categories gross
margins are high. These are mainly personal care, home care, oral care, Sopas, cosmetics,
jewellery, baby products, apparels, shoes.

In apparels margind are as high as 60%–70%. Same is with footwear. Ideally one can look at
starting this business.

Online businesses dont make money untill you achieve a big scale. In other businesses like
food the margins are low but its easy to achieve scale, huge volumes which makes it
profitable. In niche foos sengmemt such as breakfast cereals margins are good, organic
food again margins are good, health based products have good margins.

For examples oats, oats biscuuts, corn flakes, fruit based drinks etc are having good
margins. Most of the niche players who command more than 60%-70% market share charge
premium.

The idea is the most critical and fundamental element of a new business and for many, the
new business starts when there is some great idea to execute.

Many wait for good ideas to happen to them. Many ask around for suggestions on good
ideas.

In many of such situations; it is not that they do not have any idea.

It is just that they are not happy with the ideas in hand and would rather wait for great ones.

In many other situations, some founders just get started with half-baked, crappy ideas. It
almost like, we want to tell them not to hasten the decision.

Franchise business is one of the most profitable business in India. It is the most effective
ways of starting and expanding a business mainly for the reason of its well established
brand and developed strategy. A brand has already developed value and reputation in the
market which attracts majority of the consumer.

Choosing recruitment franchise over any other franchise results in a profitable business as
there is always a need for right talent in the organisation. Recruitment is one such business
which has high demand. No matter where you go and start this business it is always going
to be beneficial because of the continuous demand for manpower in the economy. Entering
into franchise business requires great research however, opting for the organisation which
offers recruitment franchise is even more challenging.

Few things to look for profitable business ideas

1. I would say this would depend on the business idea which you would choose
2. How passionate you are in running the business.
3. Are you looking for some 30% to 50% profits, then you are limiting yourself in
business growth. take example of demart where they run with thin margins
however they would multiply their sales by offering at low / discounted prices
