You may think why
I am appreciating entrepreneurs, but this is not fact I am not in favor to any
special type of employment since I am working as salaried employee in the IT
firm from last 14 years 😊 I expressed only
the thing which is coming very frequently in front of me in our daily life.
As per my
understanding this revolution is coming due to government gradient as Indian
government approach peoples to become entrepreneur instead of asking job to
government and in the return Govt willing to hand-hold young entrepreneurs.
Prime Minister
Narendra Modi said:
The youth of today should become job creators and think out of the box, for which the government is willing to hand-hold them for setting up startups.
He also said that while patience was a virtue, it should not stop the youth from coming up with innovative ideas for the benefit of the country and society.

New Generation successful
Entrepreneurs of India
Ritesh
Agarwal
Have you heard of Oravel? No? How about OYO? Yes, this young man is the Founder & CEO of the budget room provider service – OYO.
Ritesh Agarwal has had an interesting childhood. He was never fond of studies so he dropped formal education out of his plans. The idea of Oravel Stays struck him when he was 18. The basic idea was a budget hotel chain that provides B&B. Realizing that no other service offered a room for a budget traveller, Ritesh took the idea from Oravel stays to OYO rooms and voila! Agarwal started OYO with 11 only rooms in a Gurgaon hotel. This is one of the best successful entrepreneurs stories in India. Today, OYO has 65000 rooms in about 5500 properties across 170 cities in India.

According to the Randstad Workmonitor survey, 83 per cent of the Indian workforce would like to be an entrepreneur, higher than the global average of 53 per cent.
A stable business environment, market
oriented reforms like raising of FDI caps, implementation of GST, and key
initiatives like Make in India and Digital India are fostering a new aspiring
and ambitious Indian," Randstad India MD & CEO Paul Dupuis said.
He further said a robust SME ecosystem driven by aspiring entrepreneurs has historically seen higher growth for the formal sector, and has a knock-off effect on the evolution of other companies in the ecosystem.
The workforce in the age group of 45-54 years
(37 per cent) are hesitant to start their own business as compared to the
workforce in the age group of 25-34 years (72 per cent) and 35-44 years (61 per
cent).
Around 86 per cent of the survey
respondents indicated that the ecosystem to run a startup was favourable in
India and 84 per cent said the Indian Government actively supports new startups
in the country and provides a favourable entrepreneurial climate.
Regarding workplace preference, MNCs are
the most favoured employers for Indian workforce as 84 per cent respondents
said they prefer to work for a multinational firm.
Around 76 per cent of the workforce from
India stated that they would like to work for a startup, whereas 69 per cent
indicated that they would prefer to work for a small or medium enterprise or a
privately managed company, the report added.
The
Randstad Workmonitor covers 33 countries around the world. The study is
conducted online among employees aged 18- 65, working a minimum of 24 hours a
week in a paid job (not self-employed).
Differences
Between 'Entrepreneurs' and 'Employees'
1. Entrepreneurs improve their skills; employees improve
their weaknesses.
If you've ever been on a job interview,
you've probably answered this question: "What have you done to
improve your weaknesses?" This is a sensible question . . . to
an employee. After all, employees are taught that weaknesses are bad and that
they should be improved.
Not entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs view focusing on weaknesses
as futile; instead, they draw on their strengths.
2. Entrepreneurs may produce lousy work; employees
are perfectionists.
Employees, constantly under the watchful
eye of their bosses, strive for perfectionism. After all, nobody wants a black
mark on that all-important performance review.
Yet entrepreneurs thrive on lousy
work, because putting out lousy work means that at least they're producing, and
it’s better to create and fail than to not have created at all.
3. Entrepreneurs say 'no' to opportunities; employees
embrace them.
Warren Buffet said, "The difference
between successful people and really successful people is that really
successful people say no to almost everything.”
Entrepreneurs, then flex their
"no" muscle often to maintain their focus on what
matters. Employees, on the other hand, say "yes" to everything
because they fear that if they say 'no' to an opportunity, they'll miss out on
their big break.
4. Entrepreneurs delegate; employees practice 'DIY.'
Entrepreneurs are always looking for ways
to get things off their plate. They know the monetary value of their time, and
focus on the things only they can do.
Employees are the opposite. They try to do
everything themselves, and see it as a weakness when they can’t juggle it all.
They try to know every single aspect of the business. The mantra “If you want
it done right, do it yourself” is the employee’s mantra.
5. Entrepreneurs mono-task; employees (try to) multitask.
There’s no such thing as multitasking. Despite what employers want,
this statement is true. Studies show it’s impossible for our brains to
focus effectively on more than one thing at a time.
Entrepreneurs recognize that multitasking means doing nothing well, so they
“mono-task” instead.
Employees, however, are trained to worship multitasking and beat themselves
up when their brains won’t cooperate.
6. Entrepreneurs thrive on risk; employees avoid it.
If you ask many people in the employee
mindset why they won't start a business, they'll say they need the security of
their day jobs. Not having access to a pension, steady paycheck or health
insurance is too risky, they say.
Yet entrepreneurs thrive on risk.
Without risk, there’s no reward, and rather
than scaring entrepreneurs away, this knowledge invigorates them. As Peter
Drucker said, “Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a
courageous decision.”
7. Entrepreneurs believe in seasons; employees believe in
balance.
Ahh, work/life balance. That is every
employee’s most coveted dream, the most sought-after treasure.
But entrepreneurs know that balance isn't
achievable. Instead of seeking balance, they believe that to excel in one
area of their lives, others will suffer. They accept that the areas of their
lives rotate through seasons.
Instead of fighting for an unachievable
balance, they recognize that one thing will always have to take precedence over
the others.
8. Employees are threatened by smarter people; entrepreneurs hire them.
In the corporate jungle, it’s survival of the fittest. If you’re not the
smartest, most well-connected or hardest-working person in your
department, you’re stuck at that bottom rung of the ladder.
Employees, therefore, are threatened by those who are smarter than they.
They view the smarter guys as competition.
Entrepreneurs hire those people. They know that without a great
team, their business will fail, so they hire up.
You don’t have to be a startup CEO or even own your own business to be an
entrepreneur, but the entrepreneurial mindset is one that attracts success.
And the really good news is that there are many different ways in which you
can apply these mindsets to become successful at whatever you choose to do with
your career.
30 Small Business Ideas in India with Low Investment
1. Tax
Consultant
Companies
big and small pay good money to have their taxes prepared for them. It gives
them a chance to focus on the everyday operations of their business. If you
have the appropriate experience, you could set yourself up as a freelancer;
however, by starting with a tax preparation franchise, you will receive
courses, seminars and training.
2. Blogger
or Vlogger
Are you an expert in a specific field? From
travel, fashion, cooking, to DIY, and removal services, if you know how to do
something particularly well, why not tell the world through a blog or vlog? All
you will need is a computer and a good quality camera. You can make money by
offering advertising space and reviews of products on your platform.
3.
Informational Product Creator
Similar
to blogging or vlogging, creating informational products is your chance to put
your expertise in an e-book or some form of digital format and selling it to
the online world. Find a niche that's not been overdone and start writing. You
can sell your information piece on platforms such as Amazon Books.
4. Resume
Writer
No matter the experience, there are very
few people that enjoy or are good at writing their own resume. Individuals pay
very good money to have their personal statements put on paper for them. It
will cost you nothing to get setup and once you get the hang of it, you should
be able to average a good hourly or daily pay rate.
5. Domain
Name Buyer
As the name suggests, all you need to do is
buy domain names you believe people will want and sell them for a profit. You
will need to be able to:
- Identify profitable domain names
- Identify domain names that are memorable
- Learn about SEO and keyword optimization
6. Financial
Advisor
Although the number of people wanting to
start their own business has grown, many still do not know how to organize
themselves financially. Start by getting your Certified Financial Planner (CFP)
certificate to show clients you are credible. On the other hand, if you already
have the experience, you can start by advising individuals and then grow your
empire to consult for larger organizations.
7. Editorial
Services
An editorial services business is easy to
start, requires no initial monetary investment, and has a huge potential for
expansion. From small and large businesses to authors and students, your client
base could be endless. You can offer a variety of services, some of which
include:
- Copywriting
- Ghostwriting
- Magazine article writing
- Newspaper article writing
- Web content writing
- Proofreading
- Editing
- Indexing
- Book writing
8. Ecommerce
Store
If you have a great product, but no money
to invest in a physical storefront, staff, and bills, why not set yourself up
online? Aside from the lack of huge monetary investment and time commitment,
the marketing opportunities online are endless. Also, although a storefront is
great for branding purposes, it does limit the size and scope of your audience.
By setting yourself up with an e-commerce store, you can:
- Sell to anyone in the world
- Have a store that is open 24/7 (meaning you literally make money in your sleep)
- Run promotions easily, whenever you want
- Cross-sell between your marketing and social media platforms and your website
- Run marketing campaigns through Google and other platforms
9. Online
Photo Selling
If you are a professional photographer or
just have a deep-rooted passion for it, you can make money from your pictures
on photo selling websites. All you need to get started is a camera, preferably
a digital SLR with a minimum of 8 megapixels, and a computer. Once you have
established yourself on websites such as GettyImages.com and Flickr.com, you
can setup your own website with a list of your watermarked images and their
price per unit.
10. Meal
Planning
There are loads of people who love food but
don't have the first clue about what to buy. They are either not very confident
in the kitchen, don't know the first thing about a balanced diet, or struggle
with maintaining a budget. As a meal planner, you would:
- Create a list of ingredients
- Create step-by-step recipes for your customers to follow
- Explain the nutritional value of the meals to educate your customers
- Explain to them how they are saving money by sticking to your meal plans
11. Survey Taking
Although you won't get rich doing surveys
online, you may make a steady income if you sign up to multiple sites. These
surveys take barely any time at all to complete and can normally net you around
$150+. Some of the most popular survey-taking platforms include:
- MySurveys
- InboxDollars
- Global Test Market
- EarningStation
- Harris Poll
12. Video
Production
There are a number of ways you can use
videography to create your own home-based business. There are so many people
wanting to become YouTube celebrities who don't have the skills to upload
high-quality, well-edited videos. Other services you could offer include:
- Vlog editing
- Creating music videos
- Voice-overs
- Adverts
13. Call
Center Representative
More companies are looking to hire call
center representatives who are willing to work from home on customer care
issues. All you need to get started is a computer and a phone line. Aside from
the fact that you could earn a good base salary, you will not have any
commuting expenses and can save money by cooking your meals at home.
14. Direct
Sales Representative
The term "door-to-door sales"
often puts off people, because all they picture is getting doors slammed
in their faces on a daily basis. That said, by working for companies such as
Avon, Mary Kay, and Tupperware in the right areas, you could host very
civilized parties in your home, allowing you to make money while meeting new
people.
15. Travel
Planning
With all the booking platforms available
online today, anyone can book a holiday from the comforts of their home. But
with so many different factors to compare, it can be overwhelming. Some of
these include:
- Flights
- Car rentals
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Tours
- Activities
If you have strong organizational skills
and the knack for finding a good bargain, you could offer these services to
others who have less time on their hands. Find the deals for your customers and
add your surcharge for your services.
16. Currency
Trading
Online currency trading is easier than ever
thanks to the number of tutorial videos, online courses, and applications that
offer step-by-step guides to becoming a currency trader. All you need is:
- Technical skills
- Fundamental analytical skills
- A small amount of cash flow
- A phone, tablet, or computer
17. Telemarketing
Services
More and more companies are outsourcing
their marketing efforts, and telemarketing is one of them. As a freelance telemarketer
working from home, you will be setting appointments with customers and creating
warm leads for companies. The amount you charge will depend on the size of the
company you are working for, and the project they want to allocate you.
18. Event
and Project Planning
Event and project planning can be done
remotely but having a hands-on approach and offering your services in your
local area will be more beneficial to you from both a quality control and
monetary point of view. You can start this business from the comforts of your
home and meet with clients in restaurants, cafes or at their office or
home.
19. Professional
Photography
Whether it is a wedding, family event, or a
business' marketing materials, people pay good money for professional photography.
Unless you feel the need to sign up for an online course, the only monetary
investment you will have to make is for a camera. Establish your daily fee and
remember to keep into account your travel expenses.
20. Tutoring
Have you worked as a teacher before? Are
you proficient in a second language? Have you studied math, science, or any
other subject? If so, you could tutor adults and children, provided you have
the right paperwork for child protection reasons. It will cost you very little
to get setup, and you can offer your services at people's homes.
21. Property
Manager
As a property manager, you will be
responsible for ensuring your clients' properties are running smoothly. You
will also be the primary contact for tenants and will be responsible for making
sure the properties you manage are safe and well-maintained.
22. Packing
Services
If you have an eye for the little details,
a packing service business could be your calling. When someone moves out of
their home, they pay for removal services to take their belongings from their
old house to their new one. But the process of packing all their belongings
into boxes in the first place is extremely time-consuming. Why not offer people
your time to do this for them while they are at work or busy running errands?
23. Digital
Media Conversion
Have you ever thought about what happens to
all the old CDs and DVDs we used to use to listen to music and watch films?
Well, the answer is, often nothing. For those who have only just started using
the internet to download, purchase, and listen to music, their CDs are wasted.
If you know how to transfer this media to a computer, you could be doing the
tech-phobic and those with little time on their hands a serious favor. Offer
your services on forums, social media or flyers. You may even end up with
customers with more general tech needs on a long-term basis.
24. Personal
Driver or Taxi Services
This is an especially easy business to
start if you live in an urban area, as many businessmen and women prefer having
a driver to go to and from work in order to make calls, schedule meetings, and
generally work on the operational aspects of their companies during that time.
On the other hand, if you are looking to start a business that is more like a
taxi service, why not become an Uber driver? To become an Uber driver, you
need:
- A decent car
- A clean driving record
- A smartphone
- To be 21 years or older
- At least 3 years' driving experience
- A background check
25. Hairdressing
or Makeup Artist Services
If you have worked in a salon before or
just know how to cut hair but do not have the capital to open your own
business, you could start one from home. All you need to do is make sure you
comply with all your state's requirements for opening a salon in your home.
That said, once you've got yourself up and running, you could earn anywhere
from $22,500 and up. You could also offer other beauty treatments, such as:
- Hair coloring
- Hair extensions
- Manicure and pedicures
- Makeup
- Massages
26. Interior
Designer
Both homeowners and business owners look
for interior design and home decorating services in order to make the vision
for their space come to life. Having a degree or certification will help you
understand the different functions of a home or office, but it is not legally
required in most places. You will be able to do most of your research from the
comforts of your home, but you will need to get to know your client in order to
understand how they want to use the space. Consider asking questions like:
- Is it for adults or children, or both?
- Does the space need to be pet-friendly?
- What is the purpose of the room?
27.
Tour Guide
Many tourists like visiting new places with
a guide. It allows them to ask all the questions they want and get a real local
feel of the place they are visiting. If you know your town like the back of
your hand, why not charge people for tours? You can create packages that
include:
- Walking tours
- Taxi services to and from their hotels
- Breakfast, lunch, or dinner at a local restaurant
28. Bridal
Concierge
The wedding industry is one that will most
likely live in perpetuity. This is meant to be a special day for a couple, but
often turns into a chore because of all the planning that comes with it.
Because it is nearly impossible for brides and grooms to be able to enjoy the
planning of their wedding, they often pay professionals to do it for them. If
you have strong organizational skills, are communicative, pay attention to the
little details, and love weddings, then you could set up shop from the comforts
of your home. To get started and build a portfolio, offer your services to a
friend or family member. From there, you can start charging other clients.
29. Create an online fashion boutique
If you love fashion and sharing your sense
of style online, you can consider creating your own online fashion boutique.
You don’t need to become a fashion designer either—you can simply curate items
from other vendors into your own online store
From dresses, shoes, swimwear, accessories,
and more, you can build your own fashion brand using one of the several product
sourcing apps for Shopify,
model them in your own product photos and social media posts, and build an
online following as a trend-setter.
30. Sell handcrafted and homemade goods
If you’re a maker—whether you DIY soap,
candles, sauces, or pottery—you’re in a unique position to start an online
business since product development and procurement are literally in your hands.
Unlike many of the other ideas on this
list, you will need to consider shipping and inventory management, but you can
start out simple on a per-order basis or with a small batch until you start
generating consistent sales.
In fact, many makers on Shopify started out
selling from their homes on Etsy or to friends and family, growing into
full-time business owners after establishing demand for their products.
