Business Ideas Under ₹1 Lakh Investment: 5 Profitable Ventures You Can Start Today
Start a profitable business with under ₹1 lakh using ideas like dropshipping, home bakery, packaged water supply, photography, and event planning. Low investment, high potential ventures for beginners.

Drop Shipping

Home Bakery & Water Bottle Business
You can start a home bakery using your existing oven and fridge. Taking special orders for birthdays and parties can really grow your business. Since this is a food business, getting an FSSAI registration is a must. Another idea is to tie up with a water plant to supply bottles under your own brand.
Or, you can set up a small plant for around ₹80,000 to supply water cans locally. Remember, the ISI mark is mandatory for packaged water.

Photography
Event Management
You can start this business by organising small functions and birthday parties. Build a good network of lighting, sound, and decoration vendors to host events smoothly. Food is key to a successful event, so find reliable caterers. When you give a price quote to a client, always add a 5-10% buffer for unexpected costs. Also, talk to hotels and resorts in advance to get venues at a good price.
