How you can grow, and explore a business idea, and the loan facilities will be provided by the Kerala government through their mission called startup mission. You may probably heard about the startup mission of Kerala, which helps young entrepreneurs in Kerala to build their dreams with innovative ideas.
Business Ideas for the women
If you have innovative ideas, you’ll get all the support from the government, but you should submit the complete action plan you are going to launch for the business. This can be done for men too, but I am sharing some business ideas for women.
Textile and fashion
The fashion and textile industry is growing more rapidly than any time before especially clothing for ladies and kids. There are different styles of dresses designed many times a year for ladies and the industry needs innovative creators and designers to launch a new culture in the dressing style of women as well as kids (Especially for girls). If you have design capabilities along with stitching skills, you can simply launch a business in the area.

To test whether things work, you can simply design some models of dresses and sell them online with the help of online e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra, etc. Additionally, if you have an Instagram or Facebook page with many followers, you can try selling the products through those social media platforms. If it works greatly, then you can start on Broadway, designing and stitching the fashion clothes in bulk and exporting it to other brands or companies.
If you have a flare for marketing, then you can start your brand by purchasing raw products from wholesalers. For a small scale, you won’t need much investment. With just less than 1000 INR you can design and stitch two or three dresses and sell it to local clients or followers on social media.
To develop and scale the business on a large scale, you need high investments. Investment in raw products, machinery (For stitching unit), hiring expert designers and stickers, etc. If you do have not so much amount to invest, you need to take a loan from the nationalized banks. For business loans, you need to pay a higher interest rate. Here comes the use of the startup mission by the Kerala government. Apply your business’s innovative ideas and get approved. Be sure that you have a solid business plan.
As the textile industry grows fast, the chance of success is very high. Just need to apply your passion and a little bit of marketing skill will skyrocket your business. In this digital age, it is even more simple to succeed if you have a high-quality product even if there is tough competition in this field.
Organizer for the bride
Event management aka event organizing is another big business women can start in Kerala with a few investments.
Why this is a business idea? A woman can know all that is needed to organize an event for a woman like a bride. The business includes all the portions like setting the bride in all manners. What does this mean?
There are different aspects of the bride like fashioning, beautician, selecting the ornaments, selecting the dresses for the parties associated with the wedding, reception, Haldi, etc.
Really. low investment is only needed for this because a hell lot of things are spent by the bride’s family, but you can make it a huge business opportunity by giving the things associated with a wedding to women as rent.
Many people still want to reduce the expense of the wedding function by minimizing the one-use items like dresses for Haldi, group dresses for the cousins, etc.
Here you make use of this as a big business opportunity.
How?
For the basic things like beautician, ornaments selection, designing jewelry, helps in selecting the dresses, you can help them in all these aspects by a fixed amount of fees. If you have passion for these (Obviously, you’ll because you are a woman), you can suggest some models or dresses, jewels, color combinations, beauticians, etc. Give all these services.
Next about renting the ornaments and dresses for the cousins of the bride. Here you need a big investment. This includes buying many dresses for at least 20 women. Rent them for the wedding parties for a fixed fee. Earn by this way. You can rent out the dresses, ornaments, etc for a wedding.
Mehandi design is another possibility you can include in your business. If you have a passion for mehandi design, people are making a handsome amount of money by providing the mehandi service.
For this business, you need good personality and communication skills to get the clients. Once you do well in one or two weddings, the clients will automatically come for your business.
If you feel like you can’t run the business alone, you can add your friends of have the same taste. This will help you to perform the business at the next level and to get high-cost clients all over Kerala.
Reselling business
Reselling is a low-risk business idea for a woman can do. They won’t need to invest a hell lot of time in a shop, but they need a small space to use as a small garage or godown for the product they need to resell. Reselling means, selling the item through E-commerce platforms and earning a commission.
You need to contact the suppliers or wholesalers to purchase the product in bulk and sell it through online platforms like Amazon, Facebook marketplace, Instagram pages, etc. Make use of digital marketing to sell the product very fast. How fast you sell, you can make a high income accordingly.
You can also make use of the local market and make a huge profit.
Let me show you an example,
If you are planning to run a reselling business in your local market, you can use this simple model.
Indiamart.com is the largest marketplace to source products of almost all categories. You can see a wide range of products from there and can see all the suppliers or wholesalers.
In this example business model, for just 100 INR, you can buy 1 KG of agarbattis from IndiaMART. Contact the supplier and buy from them in bulk. Once you receive the product, you can pack the agarbattis in small packets and sell them for a profit in your local stores.
You can make a brand like this. For this, you need much more investment. Invest money in building a brand, brand name, logo, box for the product, etc. Then sell them in the nearest store. Slowly expand the business with some more investments.
This is just an example. Look at the Indiamart and then choose the product you want to resell.
Childcare service
In cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, etc. There are parents and both are employees and have no time to take care of their children during the daytime. You can start a daycare, the old model business idea, but combine your innovative ideas to make it a better business.
For example, if a newborn baby is there, and the mom won’t go for the job at least 6 months from the birth of the baby. But many companies only allow the leave for the first 6 – 10 months as maternity leave. After that they need to go for the office. So, feeding is important. You can add the feeding delivery service, you can pick up the bottle from the mom and get it to the home for feeding the milk to the baby.
You may need additional employees to perform this idea. And for child care, you need a home and more employees to take care of all the children. This needs a huge investment.
The parents are always ready to pay the fee for these services to take care of their children when they want to go to the office in the daytime.
You need to be responsible in all manners since this needs your attention because the parents leave their child at your daycare by trusting you.
It’s wrapping
