Mumbai :
As the festive season approaches, there are numerous business opportunities that can yield substantial profits with minimal investment.
With the Indian government actively promoting entrepreneurship and startup initiatives, this is an ideal time to explore new avenues.
We present five part-time business ideas that can help you earn a substantial income in just two months, starting from Navratri and culminating with Diwali, making it the perfect time to kickstart your venture.
1. Decorative Items: Decorating homes and shops is a cherished tradition during Diwali, leading to a surge in demand for home decor products.
This includes plastic decorative items and electronic products. By sourcing these items from wholesale markets and selling them retail, you can capitalize on this festive fervor. Setting up carts in bustling markets or residential areas is also a profitable strategy.
2. Clay Lamps: From Navratri to Diwali, the country illuminates with the warm glow of earthen lamps. The demand for these lamps, especially during Diwali, is monumental.
You can either craft these earthen lamps yourself or purchase them in bulk. With a small machine, you can even make them at home, ensuring a steady supply for the festive season.
3. Puja Materials: Engaging in the sale of worship materials can be a highly profitable venture.
In India, daily pujas are a common practice in most households, necessitating items such as incense sticks, camphor, sandalwood, and more.
With an initial investment ranging from Rs 2000 to Rs 5000, you can earn daily profits ranging from Rs 1000 to Rs 2000.
The upcoming festive season will witness a surge in demand, providing an excellent opportunity for increased earnings.
4. Electronic Lights: During Navratri, Dussehra, and Diwali, every nook and corner is adorned with decorative lights, adding to the festive ambiance.
Electronic lights are in high demand during this period.
Procuring these lights at wholesale prices in cities and selling them at retail prices can yield significant margins.
This business can be set up in various locations, including open markets, ensuring a wide customer base.
5. Statues and Candles: Diwali, especially on the day of Lakshmi Puja, sees a substantial demand for idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha.
Profitable opportunities lie in selling clay idols and other related products. Additionally, designer candles and artificial flower garlands can also be traded, adding to your business’s versatility and profitability.
