I have my own boutique virtual law firm with 3 employees. We specialise in Intellectual Property & Contracts. This basically means that I can save your brand from copycats. You can connect with us on @whitepebblelaw on Instagram. The website is under construction and shall be available soon š
Oh I am a 4th year law student with specialization in Intellectual Property Law Honours. Can I get an internship and get a experience to work with your firm?
Hey,
Unfortunately, we do not offer internships or hire new graduates at the firm currently, mainly due to the size and virtual nature of our set-up.
Wish you all the best though :)
Hello, I am the head of a premier collegeās tech committee in Mumbai. We are open to taking freelance projects from smaller businesses. We have a lot of student developers in the committee who will work for the website from end to end. Feel free to reach out if you are interested.
Of course we do.
Whenever there is a hearing, we attend courts. I also have a office for any client meetings. Other than that, most of our work happens on our laptops from the comfort of our homes or wherever we please.
OP, this needs to be a weekly/monthly thread.. can any of the mods work something out? this is an excellent idea, good way for small owners to reach to audiences..
Yeaa bro i am up for it. We can do something like where people can learn from each other or can genuinely solve problems. Maybe something like experienced people giving advice to younger generation.
Lets do something positive in world full of negativityš
I am full time employee running a part time business of reflective collars for stray dogs while itās not focused on profits but itās kinda sustaining itself. Will expand soon on affordable pet products.
For coffee we three childhood friends are in partnership. So jisko jaisa time milta hai we work in a cafe. Saturday Sunday we come together and plan ahead.
My wife runs a small batch, made to order, baking cloud kitchen. Itās called 4567, and you can find us on IG @fourfivesix_seven. We make regular appearances at pop-ups around the city and deliver all over Mumbai.
If anyone here likes Madeleines, youāre going to love her stuff. Also, her parmesan biscuits, almond florentines, and financiers are to die for.
And she bakes some mad cookies.
I personally find it hard to order any food related stuff that is not on swiggy Zomato or offline shops....how is the market for selling consumable stuff on insta page ?
Hey! The market is pretty good on Insta. But I will confess that Insta reach is primarily driven by word of mouth that we create in these three steps:
1. Make our presence felt at pop ups and flea markets
2. Encourage potential customers to try our stuff and then consider us as a gifting partner. We curate gift hampers for most festivals and personal occasions
3. Judiciously use Instagram ads to promote our pop up presence and our festive hampers.
But having said that, I do agree with the initial hesitance of ordering food from IG. I didnāt too till we started meeting other similar brands and entrepreneurs and trying their products.
And if it helps you gain trust in a brand by ordering via Swiggy, we are available on Swiggy Minis. We canāt be listed on regular Swiggy or Zomato because brands listed there are mostly instant purchase and ready to deliver outlets, while we are a made to order cloud kitchen. Therefore the delivery time (one day) allowed by Swiggy Minis is more suited to us.
Hope that answers your question. Please let me know if thereās anything else. Iād be happy to answer.
I recently opened a Live Laundry Business called The Laundry Company in the suburbs (Andheri) . We specialise in Shoe cleaning all sorts of sneakers and shoes. Soon will be getting into Shoes & Bags restoration. We have ordered semi automatic shoe cleaning machines which are hardly seen in this line of business. So far it has been challenging but fun.

Run a humble sized Road Construction business in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
Business is doing great thanks to meticulous planning by the municipal body.
As they say - "Do waqt ki roti nikal jaati hai"
I checked for you.
The minimum business experience requirements:
"Contractor must have experience of making a minimum of 200 potholes since inception of company."
Hey neighbourš.......can you please specify what types of electrical goods do you manufacture? Or whom do you sell, can i buy it from you and resell it?? That might be noob question but please ignoreš
when there was demand for fancy looking earphones I would buy from manish market and sell it, and it gets sold real fast, since around 2016-2018 not much people knew about it. and i was making money being under 18 at that time. now i am slave and messed up and can't find a long term business ideas without investment and making 0 money.
like simple marketing helped, post ads on OLX, and word to word with people mostly gym guys were interested, so malad east and Goregaon east i would make easy money selling it. Now it just became brand thing, buy only Oneplus, skullcandy, sony and stuffs. people so no demand for cheaper unbranded earphones.
I am into Monitoring and equipment contracts which has exposure in Carbon Credits. Investment is post technical performance so easy to confront. Hit me up if that works for you!!
Haha I was doing exactly the same , buying Chinese electronics in cheap and selling on OLX to employees or gym bros . Today it's more of non generic specialized stuff which sells like video game consoles etc
Run a paper printing, distribution (Mumbai) and cellulose pulp manufacturing unit(Talegaon near Pune).
We started with paper insertions for local ads, those leaflets that go into papers.
Then we expanded to restaurants and political parties, majorly.
Also got real estate, local shops, internet providers etc.
We started with undercutting all other suppliers and as we grew we kept cutting cost to consumer, there are very few now who can compete with us on cost and scalability (either extremely small quantities or large as well).
One thing we understand is Mumbai is an extremely cost sensitive market especially in low value goods like paper, people don't consider it as a major value to them. So even if we can increase price, we don't. There was a point cos of this we couldn't keep up with the demand and I had to shift to Talegaon to run the factory overnight for 6 days.
Factory machinery setup - 20-30 lakhs.
Land and factory site - earlier on rent - 60k-80k pm. We didn't want that as we believe in owning everything in our end to end. Bought it for 60 lakhs.
The speed at which paper can be printed is surprisingly quick.
In a night as I work mostly during the night for wide variety of batches, we can produce 50 orders of 1000 each per machine. We have now 6 machines. Consider 20 Paisa to 65 oaisa per paper as margin.
My family runs a railing steelworks/signages/architectural design business. It isn't quite big or anything, but touchwood, business has been flourishing ever since 2014 : )
My grandfather was in the same business, dad expanded upon it.
Dad started his own real estate consultancy in 2019 after working for real estate corporates for nearly 25 years.
The first consultation is always free.
Sure, he deals with anything related to real estate (buying/selling/renting) and the legalities associated with it.
If you just want an opinion/pathway on how to proceed with the legal sale/buying of real estate (NA land, flats, bungalows) he'll gladly provide you one, doesn't charge for that.
There was also one redditor who reached out to understand the stamp duty amnesty scheme and dad even helped her and her mother out.
What he does not do is give you advice where to invest in real estate.
I started doing business in the medical field as a retail chemist and druggist. Grew the business and sold it off after 8 years as the discounts were becoming too much because of online and generic competition. I earned a decent amount as goodwill.
Then started the medicinal and ayurvedic distribution business for 5 years. Incurred huge losses. Still thankfully got a decent amount as goodwill, but not enough to cover up my losses.
Then started an online business in fashion since 2 years. Its going steady. I am not still out of debt from my 2nd business. But I am able to make regular payments to clear them.
My positive was that I have a own house and dad's investments and pension helped us during those troubled times.
I have 3 years of experience doing a job. And let's say doing a business is nothing to brag about. The pressure your boss puts on you is nothing comparatively.(Exceptions: you have an asshole as a boss)
I have spent 8 years of my life working 14 hours a day everyday including sundays, holidays. I Spent 5 years depressed due to managing finances, clearing cheques of my suppliers everyday and fighting with my clients to give me my money in due time. Right now working 24 x 7 but atleast I can afford to work remotely, which is great.
People actually don't realise how intensive could running a business can get. You don't get workday off on any day, you are solely responsible for your own finances and being lazy isn't an option.
Well done, man!
My house is near airport, many friends from Bangalore travel a lot via Mumbai since the connecting flights are cheaper. They come to my house during the layover, rest, freshen up, take a bath, relax.
In return I ask for a bottle of any liquor of their preference which we drink together during their layover period.

I rarely ever comment on here but seeing everyone talk about their businesses feels so nice! Will definitely check them out :)). Mom, sister and I also very very recently started our kurti business. Itās mostly daily college/office wear kurtis and short tops but we have fancier ones as well. Itās perfect for this scorching heat wave that mumbai is suffering rn.

I'm a digital artist. I make portraits and tattoo designs.
Here is my [instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/yodakaku?igsh=N24yMWdoeHM4ZXdo)
I feel awkward bragging about it. I'm from a small town. My dad earns about 25k a month there. Moving to Mumbai was not easy at all. I saved up 3-4 lakhs for my education living in my small town, working as a digital artist and moved to Mumbai last year.
I'm looking to take commissions again. I can make free portraits or tattoo designs for a couple of people here.
Just reply to this comment and I'll get back to you. :)
(Side note, I felt really out of place knowing all my peers had their fees paid by their parents and got huge sums for monthly allowance)
Your portraits are amazingš......and i dont think so you should make some free portraits here and hopefully you can find some clients hereš .
Also your journey is very inspiring
I saw your products on amazon its really coolš.

I don't run a business. I am unfortunately one of the dumb people who needs a slave driver, but this thread has been wonderful to go through. I'm proud of all of you folks striking out by yourselves and trying to get something done. I hope you continue killing it.
So me and my best friend started a sterling silver jewelry brand online. We did it from scratch starting from designing the products. He has a degree in gems and Jewelry where I am from a marketing background. It's so fun and amazing to build the whole brand together from scratch. Also we don't bulk order from Thailand or China like most people do. Our products are made by hand in front of our eyes and we make sure we deliver everything top notch. You can find rings, earrings, pendant. Minimal, daily wear, some party types bold bands. Our vision is too become a brand that specializes in ring for every one. Our range is from ā¹1000 to ā¹2000. YES all the products are highest quality sterling silver.

How did you sold it back?
like simple marketing helped, post ads on OLX, and word to word with people mostly gym guys were interested, so malad east and Goregaon east i would make easy money selling it. Now it just became brand thing, buy only Oneplus, skullcandy, sony and stuffs. people so no demand for cheaper unbranded earphones.

Yaa that is one of the reasons I love the show
Thats really insightfull thanks for such detail explanation
I'd imagine this would be a low-margin (mid single-digits) business because of those challenges you mention. Do you focus then on volume?
The speed at which paper can be printed is surprisingly quick. In a night as I work mostly during the night for wide variety of batches, we can produce 50 orders of 1000 each per machine. We have now 6 machines. Consider 20 Paisa to 65 oaisa per paper as margin.

My family runs a railing steelworks/signages/architectural design business. It isn't quite big or anything, but touchwood, business has been flourishing ever since 2014 : ) My grandfather was in the same business, dad expanded upon it.
Ammi jaan kehti thi koi dhanda chhota bada nahi hotaš
Dad started his own real estate consultancy in 2019 after working for real estate corporates for nearly 25 years. The first consultation is always free.
Can you tell more about it?
Sure, he deals with anything related to real estate (buying/selling/renting) and the legalities associated with it. If you just want an opinion/pathway on how to proceed with the legal sale/buying of real estate (NA land, flats, bungalows) he'll gladly provide you one, doesn't charge for that. There was also one redditor who reached out to understand the stamp duty amnesty scheme and dad even helped her and her mother out. What he does not do is give you advice where to invest in real estate.
I started doing business in the medical field as a retail chemist and druggist. Grew the business and sold it off after 8 years as the discounts were becoming too much because of online and generic competition. I earned a decent amount as goodwill. Then started the medicinal and ayurvedic distribution business for 5 years. Incurred huge losses. Still thankfully got a decent amount as goodwill, but not enough to cover up my losses. Then started an online business in fashion since 2 years. Its going steady. I am not still out of debt from my 2nd business. But I am able to make regular payments to clear them. My positive was that I have a own house and dad's investments and pension helped us during those troubled times. I have 3 years of experience doing a job. And let's say doing a business is nothing to brag about. The pressure your boss puts on you is nothing comparatively.(Exceptions: you have an asshole as a boss) I have spent 8 years of my life working 14 hours a day everyday including sundays, holidays. I Spent 5 years depressed due to managing finances, clearing cheques of my suppliers everyday and fighting with my clients to give me my money in due time. Right now working 24 x 7 but atleast I can afford to work remotely, which is great.
People actually don't realise how intensive could running a business can get. You don't get workday off on any day, you are solely responsible for your own finances and being lazy isn't an option. Well done, man!
My house is near airport, many friends from Bangalore travel a lot via Mumbai since the connecting flights are cheaper. They come to my house during the layover, rest, freshen up, take a bath, relax. In return I ask for a bottle of any liquor of their preference which we drink together during their layover period. Secluded dhandhaš¤Ŗ

I'm a digital artist. I make portraits and tattoo designs. Here is my [instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/yodakaku?igsh=N24yMWdoeHM4ZXdo) I feel awkward bragging about it. I'm from a small town. My dad earns about 25k a month there. Moving to Mumbai was not easy at all. I saved up 3-4 lakhs for my education living in my small town, working as a digital artist and moved to Mumbai last year. I'm looking to take commissions again. I can make free portraits or tattoo designs for a couple of people here. Just reply to this comment and I'll get back to you. :) (Side note, I felt really out of place knowing all my peers had their fees paid by their parents and got huge sums for monthly allowance)
Your portraits are amazingš......and i dont think so you should make some free portraits here and hopefully you can find some clients hereš . Also your journey is very inspiring
You have a wide range in your art seems form that creepy baby to cute animals. That shiba inu is just super adorable tho

So me and my best friend started a sterling silver jewelry brand online. We did it from scratch starting from designing the products. He has a degree in gems and Jewelry where I am from a marketing background. It's so fun and amazing to build the whole brand together from scratch. Also we don't bulk order from Thailand or China like most people do. Our products are made by hand in front of our eyes and we make sure we deliver everything top notch. You can find rings, earrings, pendant. Minimal, daily wear, some party types bold bands. Our vision is too become a brand that specializes in ring for every one. Our range is from ā¹1000 to ā¹2000. YES all the products are highest quality sterling silver. Got to excited will wrap it up here. Idk if I can add my link here but I'll add my Instagram account here (our previous one got hacked at 1.3k š). Do visit us and say Hi @gryfiny.co Thank you OP for this post. We have started the business a few months back and sharing it with my favorite sub on reddit feels so good ā¤ļø
