Metal Wall Art Startup

Budget Needed- US $1500- $3000 (Rs. 1-2 lakh)

This is very amazing and attractive startup idea. The best part is only a few people focusing on it due to the involvement of high-end machinery.

This startup can be started with a very low budget and has 100%-500% profit margins depending on the designs you are making and to the market in which you are selling your product.

In this business, you need to contact workshops which have laser cutting machines (best quality) or plasma cutting machines (low quality).

Many people have a habit of playing while at work. You can make cubes, magnets, pens or any other items which can engage people without disturbing their concentration while at work. You need not manufacture these items by yourself. Instead, you can take the help of workshops and place an order to them.

Anonymously Sharing App

Budget Needed- US $1,000- $4,000 (Rs. 50000- Rs 3 lakhs)

I personally feel this startup idea is a million dollar startup idea which has a great scope, on which not many people are working. But in case you have observed various social networking platforms like Facebook, Quora, Voizd, or Sarahah app, everywhere people are looking to share their dark secrets or feelings using anonymity. Just start any social networking site and give it a feature of anonymity, it can get popular in the world. But yes, how you will sustain it for a longer period is completely up to you. You need to think while people will stay on it for a longer period of time. You can make anything like an app to share the anonymous pic, or message or story or anything.

Semiconductor Business

Budget Needed- US $15,000- $25,000 (Rs. 10-15 lakhs)

This is one of the top startup ideas and this can be proved from the fact that in 2016, Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son invested $31.4 Billion in Arm Holding, a chip maker company. This fact clearly shows how semiconductor industry is increasing over a long period of time. If you see mobile phones, TV, computer, or any electronic device, all are made up of a semiconductor.

Do you love automation? Do you believe in future machines that will be doing most of our works? If you believe in all this, then you can start any kind of startup in the field of the semiconductor industry. It is a sure shot business that is bound to increase.

Niche Blogging

Budget Needed- US $150- $1500 (Rs. 10,000- 100000)

Blogging is one of the extremely low budget startup ideas and has the potential to make you a millionaire. But there are lots of misconceptions regarding blogging and usually, people don’t understand the meaning of niche blogging. Don’t just start any random blog if you are looking at it from the business point of view or you are treating it as your startup.

Yes, you heard that right. Blogging can also be a startup. Usually, people put anything on their blog and get successful in getting tens of thousands of visitors in a day but they still don’t earn much. Why?

One reason for this is that they are not working in any niche due to which advertisers are not able to provide them the best quality ads. Secondly, they cannot use their subscription data in any form because it is a mix-up data. Choose any single niche like traveling, medical or anything which interests you. Make a business plan for your content marketing strategy determining what exactly you are going to do with the subscribers. Treat AdSense as a part-time. If you do so, you will rock the market in blogging itself.

Tea Café

Budget Needed- US $8,000- $25,000 (Rs. 5-15lakhs)

Tea is the most consumed beverage after water. Still, we find coffee outlets and cafés on each corner of the city but rarely any tea café. In the recent times, many tea startups have started in India and surprisingly each tea startup has been successful in the last 4-5 years. Even the tea startups of uneducated people got hit in India. Still, a vast market is untapped in tea café. Now you can imagine what scope is there in this field. Just create a good ambiance that people want while they have a sip of tea and see the magic of your startup. Get Details

All over the world, around 11 billion tons of waste is being collected which is currently making a whopping revenue of $410 billion.

And the best part is due to awareness of hygiene, everyone wants cleanliness but nobody wants to clean the dirt. So if you are ready to make your hands dirty then this startup idea is only waiting for you. Get Details

Advertising and Marketing Company

Budget Needed- US $3,000- $30,000 (Rs 2-20lakhs)

As of today, startups are increasing very rapidly and every company is trying its best to capture their respective market better than their competitors. And in this race of churning market, every company is spending a lot of money to put their products in front. The growth of this industry is so fast that analysts are not able to calculate the global data.

Soap Bar Business

Budget Needed- US $15,000- $30,000 (Rs. 10-20 lakh)

Everyone uses soap multiple times a day in form of bath soap, toilet soap and dish bar. Quite interestingly, the majority of the market is dominated by very limited brands. Sometimes people don’t even try to touch any such segment where there are big players but usually, the maximum profit lies there.

You don’t need to start your startup directly on a national level, you can always start your business by starting small. You can produce soap for a very specific segment in very limited quality. Also, people love home-made soaps these days. You can make organic soaps with degradable waste or lather as it does not contaminate the environment (water and soil). Get Details

STEM Toys

Budget Needed- US $10,000- $15,000 (Rs. 5-10 Lakh)

In most of the schools, children only learn theoretical knowledge. Even parents who want their children to learn everything properly do not know how to teach children every aspect of life practically. Here comes the part of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) toys. Very few companies like Smartivity Toys are working in this direction and they are making wonderful physical products for kids to teach them everything practically.

So you can also start your startup where you can make products which are cheap and involve a lot of fun and makes well use of your child’s brain. If you get successful in making such products then don’t worry about sales. People are dying for such products and are ready to buy for their children. Even schools are looking for such products so that they can have an edge over other schools. This is one of the best startup ideas and untouched too that even researchers haven’t calculated the scope of STEM toys. But this startup is really having a great potential to make you a millionaire or even a billionaire if you work well.

E-commerce Store

Budget Needed- US $1500- $8,000 (Rs. 1-5 lakh)

This is again an internet based startup idea. Well, here I am not talking about e-commerce website. I am talking about starting an e-commerce store. You might have heard about T-Shirt selling business or mobile case selling business. This business is so big that you can easily become a millionaire with this. And the best part is that you need not to go anywhere or you are not required to know any coding also.

All you have to do is to buy an e-commerce store from the website like Shopify. Start your own e-commerce store from there. Choose their products and advertise them to sell. You can advertise via AdSense, FB ads, emails or any medium which interest you.

Here you need not hire any coder or technician to make your own e-commerce website. You just need to learn about how a particular product is reacting in a particular market. And the best part is you need not to care about shipping also if you are worried about it as Shopify provide the provision of that also.

Organic Farming

Budget Needed- US $1500- $8,000 (Rs. 1- 5 lakhs)

If you are India, then you might be aware of Baba Ramdev and his popular brand Patanjali Ayurveda. Well, Patanjali is one of the fastest growing organic products based company. It was started by Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna in 2007. They haven’t taken any outside funding and today the revenue of Patanjali Ayurveda Ltd is US $ 1.6 billion. I hope this was quiet enough to tell you about the scope of organic food based startups.

If I talk about the market, then the size of organic food market is increasing with a CAGR of 14% annually. The best part about an organic farming is that every country government is supporting it and providing grants and subsidies to start it.

Even many white-collar employees from great companies like Google Inc. are leaving their jobs and starting an organic farming in India.

Online Tutoring

Budget Needed- US $200- $8,000 (Rs 10000- 5lakhs)

Tutoring is a US $6 billion industry worldwide and has increased by 40% in the last 5 years and will continue to grow as literacy rate is not yet 100%. Also, population plays a massive role. You might be amazed to know that only 6.7% population of the world is graduate and certainly this ratio will see a sudden spike in upcoming years.

So it is a nice opportunity for you to start a tutoring startup. And as everything is getting online and digitized, you too can take advantage of this. Well, you need not worry about codes for this.

Budget Needed- US $1500- $150,000 (Rs.1 lakh- 1cr)

All across the world, there are around 180,000 fitness clubs which include Yoga Center, Gym, Aerobics, Gymnastics, Zumba etc. More than 1.9 billion people worldwide were overweight and also 18+ in the age in 2016. And obesity is increasing very rapidly, to be specific it got tripled from 1975. This has certainly raised a demand for a lot of fitness centers. If this field interests you, then you can also become popular without being unique as demand is high.

You can even start apps for providing personal training or any app that can connect people with different fitness centers like FitNApp.

Ticketing Business

Budget Needed- US $1500- $15,000 (Rs. 1-10lakhs)

This is again an online startup idea. There was a time back in the 90s and 2000s when people used to stand in queues to buy tickets for movies, events, and sports matches for long hours, just like the lines during the launch of iPhones. But with the advancement of internet speed (3G and 4G), ticketing business is also taking pace. Ticketing industry is growing at a rate of CAGR 20%. And the best part about ticketing startups is that it is a profitable business. If I talk about India, then all big startups started in the last 3-5 years are at loss besides BookMyShow, a popular ticketing startup.

The best part of ticketing business is that they do not have much liabilities in it. Here majorly you need to create a wonderful website or have to create an app that can appeal to customers and have amazing User Interface and is easy to navigate. Here the majority of the investment will go only in developing codes for your website and apps.

Budget Needed- US $7,000- $15,000 (Rs. 5-10lakh)

Coupon industry came into existence in the 1890s when Coca-Cola provided coupons of free bottles at the back side of the cap. Today food industry and health industry are using coupons the most with 28% and 18% share respectively. Today 2.3 in 5 companies are using coupons to sell their products.

You would be surprised to know that 3 in 4 people have used coupons to buy at least a product in their entire lifetime. And in today’s date, almost everyone looks for an online coupon while purchasing any online product or service.

You can supply packaged water to industries, on railways stations, metro stations and bus stations to begin with. These are the places where people don’t care much about brands when they are thirsty. So if you have any good location in mind, then you can setup your small plant and your startup idea will do the rest to make you a millionaire.

Disposal Plate and Glass Business

In your plastic recycling startup, you can find better ways to use plastic in making roads instead of charcoal. Or you can find safest ways to recycle plastic without causing any pollution. The more innovative you will be the better your startup idea will flourish.
