Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Offline businesses or hybrid businesses that can be profitable. Steel/cement/building material dealership (Tata, Astral etc), kitchen equipments, mutual fund and insurance distribution or franchise of a big brand. Also mention approx capital required and monthly earning potential. Idea can be from what you explored or your family’s business too..

Please stick to this format:

Business idea - Astral pipes dealership 
Geography - City or town of operation only
Competitive intensity - High
Capital required - 1 crore
Earning potential - 2-3% per month (2-3 lakhs) 
Points - You will be dealing with the main distributor and not astral directly, you will have to network well with plumbers, architects, small builders etc.

What if I have close to 10 lakhs + in cash.
Can I start something in these cities which can at least generate a monthly income of 40/50k for a sustainable long term.
If not what’s the capital needed?
Please note I don’t have any business prior expertise
Uncertainty in tech sector has left me stressed.
I need a minimum of 45-50k to sustain.

I need some ideas.
Lets discuss.

Thinking of gifting a friend a handbag. 3k budget. Any leads would be appreciated.
I googled, but found a bunch of names. Don't know which one actually is good.

Also a mini rant. How are women's bags under 3k and men's bags ranging from 10-15k (likes of Samsonite/scarters ).

Comment down below your idea of starting a side hustle that’s running in your head currently! 

Lets brainstorm 👌

A side hustle you want to start?

Founder

Hey everyone,

I’m a CS major with over 5 years of experience in the ML field, and I’ve been thinking a lot about the future. As much as I love tech, I can sense a lot of unpredictability in the field. So, I’ve been contemplating starting a “boring” but stable side business in the Gurgaon area.

Here are a few ideas I’ve been brainstorming:

1. Solar Industry: Exploring the entire supply chain for solar products. Setting up something small and focusing on areas where India is highly dependent on imports from China.


2. E-commerce Packaging: Offering innovative and precise packaging solutions for the booming quick commerce industry. I think there’s a lot of potential here!


3. Franchise Ventures: Bringing in successful Indian companies like Atomberg, ather and setting up franchises in this area.


4. Hydroponics Farming: Renting land and starting hydroponic farming for premium, fresh produce. Demand for this seems to be growing fast!


5. Import-Export: Diving into import-export opportunities—maybe there’s something untapped here?

6: Plant based alternative as a solution (icecream,  daily usage items ) : playing on conscious capitalism 



These ideas seem to have a mix of stability and potential, but I’m sure there are many angles I’m missing. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Are any of these ideas worth pursuing?

Do you see gaps in these sectors that could be filled?

Any other “boring” yet high-potential sectors you’d recommend?


I’m hoping this thread will help not just me but others who are also considering venturing into business. Let’s brainstorm together and share ideas that can lead to long-term success.

Looking forward :p

How to start manufacturing in India?

I am ready to put more than 70 hours to start and run my own business. Looking for some ideas with certain criteria I have in my mind 

1. Scalability - Biz should be scalable enough to reach 100 cr annual turnover, fine if takes mid to long term
2. Margin - should have healthy margin, not looking for VC money to run it
3. Location - setup and operation can be done from anywhere
4. Non-tech - I am not a tech person, so the Biz should be done without hightech IT infra as I want to run the show on my own.

Sourcing ideas for myself, because I want to start something my own
And for other non-tech people, who are also in the same boat as I am.

Let’s see if we get some good ideas here!
