Questions people ask
Can I use these ideas for free?
Yes. Anyone can build on an idea here, and each page is free to read. Nobody owns an idea, so what counts is how well you run it and how quickly you reach customers.
Do these pages say how much I will earn?
No. Startup costs and prices are estimates from our plans, not results from a real business. We leave out income figures here because nobody can promise what a new business will make.
What is in the full plan?
The 100 Business Ideas PDF (₹499) has a business plan for each idea. These pages are short overviews, so buy the PDF only if you want the longer version.
How should I pick an idea?
Pick one where you can name ten people who might pay, and message them this week. Choose it for who you can reach, not for how big it sounds.
