Synopsis

Most people who want to start a business in India get stuck on the same things. Which idea. Whether anyone will buy it. What to register, and when. Where the money comes from.

This book takes each of those in the order you'll meet them. How to choose something that suits your money, your skills and your town, and test it in a month for under ten thousand rupees. What you really keep from a sale. The legal side, written for India as it stands in 2026 - the new Income-tax Act, GST 2.0, the labour codes, Udyam. Then funding yourself, marketing on a small budget, hiring when you can't pay market rates, and what to do when things go wrong.

The examples are real Indian businesses the author worked inside: a manufacturer who lost his only buyer, a dairy brand that failed with fifteen lakh in it, a man who turned one car into a fleet without borrowing a rupee. No famous founders.

Written for the founder in a smaller city with a small budget and a job, and for the one in a bigger city thinking about raising money within two years.
