I used to run a tutorial center because a. It came with zero capex b. There is tremendous pricing power if you teach well c. The cash flow is very much predictable. The problem was you could just teach so many students and thereafter the business hit a ceiling because the model is non scalable. But I was doing this to raise cash which I could deploy in the markets.

Problem is market size and ind growth. If there are 1cr people in India who spend on an average Rs 100 per month we have a total market of only Rs 1200cr. Also with increasing awareness tobacco consumption will be affected.

To capitalize on that, I would like to start a PMS business and charge 5% as management fee. I'm salivating just at the prospect of earning money like that.

There is a solid business propect I saw in Mumbai (there is scalability issue though!!)

There is a holy temple (e.g Siddivinayak/Mahalaxmi), there is a old lady/young girl with a cow and grass..
Business model is- You pay to buy the grass from the lady  and offer it to the cow !! Cow bhi meri and ghas bhi meri !!

2. There is some holy day and my wife gave me some Prasadam to offer to Cow, I was searching for the cow, and found one luckily, as I was about to offer the prasadam, the owner of the cow demanded 51 Rupees as Dakshina... Wah bhai wah !!

Has anyone come across such businesses ?

Actually there is plenty of synergy with what you are doing on TED. Just memorize some rahu-ketu mumbo jumbo, tog yourself in bhagwa complete with rudraksha mala and presto you can find matching points with your client's kundali and that of Reliance, Tata, Birla, etc.....

1. I think starting a coaching/tutoring for one of the entrance exam like pre-engineering or even tutoring engineering students should be a good business in my opinion.(for Resident Indians)

2. The city I am living in Europe doesnt have any Indian Restaurant. Starting an exclusive Indian restaurant here will be a huge success.....Here people really like Indian spicy food...Sometimes I really wonder why there isnt any Indian restaurant. I can seriously start it if big investors(or lets call them Venture Capitalist) like Basant Jee or Om Jee or Vivek jee and other senior TED members are ready to invest Smile.... I can guarantee that it will be a big success.

Raj

Education, Restaurants and Entertainment (Amusement Parks) are recession-proof business. I have read Indian restaurants are the most popular when it comes to food in UK.
 
If TED is turned into subscription based model, then it is a good business to run !!

Well said Janak Sir ! Infact, I was reading a research report sometime back that in case of recession or serious financial depression people tend to spend more on eat outs and shopping.

And regarding education no matter what, people will always try to get good marks and make their career.

I heard RD talking once about selling aloo pakoda in a Swiss station. He said that he spotted some Indians there and they made really good money. One had to get up at 4.00 in the morning and sell the stuff by 9.00. He was free for the rest of the day and made almost as much as the average NRIs.

Actually I have seen an Indian Oldie selling some Indian stuff inside Swiss train on my way from Zurich to Zermatt and you know he was an employee of SBB(Swiss Train company).

But here we are talking about an exclusive,authentic and traditional Indian restaurant. We will not only be selling Indian food but also willing be selling Indian experience to phirangs(foreigners).

Chic Bhai, I am living in a city in Scandinavia. And there are not many Indians around. The restaurant I am talking about, is not to cater only Indians but it will be foreigners(mainly).
You will be surprised to know that all the good Indian restaurants in Europe are generating most of their revenue from the locals(foreigners for us) and not Indians....In terms of percentage you can take 95% foreigners and only 5% Indians(or even less).

The restaurants r Indian for namesake. You wont get authentic Indian test, I have travelled across Europe and observed same thing.

Indian restraunts will be a viable businees in UK/US/Swiss (Tourist  Places where Indians have to eat something !!)

This is a typical fund manager ratio. The upfront annual fees is 2pc of portfolio and he keeps 20pc of profits above a hurdle rate of say 8pc for eg. If the portfolio makes 30 pc he gets 2pc plus 20 pc of 8pc 30 minus 8!

What's going to be the minimum ticket size?

Meanwhile here's the latest news...


Sebi asked PMS houses not to pool assets of investors the way mutual funds do and also http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1164253 - increased the minimum networth requirement for floating a PMS house.

“Portfolio managers will not be permitted to float a scheme or pool the resources of the clients. They would be required to keep the assets of each client separately and not in a pooled manner,” Sebi said.

Pooling of assets had been the easier way for PMS houses to invest as it helps in bulk buying and selling.

The networth required to float a PMS scheme has been increased to Rs 2 crore from Rs 50 lakh earlier, purportedly to weed out the smaller players.

The number of PMS players has shot up to 205 as on March 31, 2008, from just 18 in 1999. These include several small and mid-size brokerage firms. This is unlike in the markets abroad, where PMS is run primarily by asset management companies. Some of these players run one-man armies, too.

A major reason for the increase in the number of players is that there are fewer requirements for running a PMS than for a mutual fund. 



If you need back-office support staff, please do consider my application for suitable appointment.

In a PMS is it required to maintain separate accounts for each client  or can one pool it all into one single pot ?
 
How is an investment partnership different from a PMS ?

In PMS it is mandatory to maintian seperate accounts of individual clients....normally both the demat & trading a/c's are with the same broking house to avoid the hassels of instruction slips.
 
In PMS clients should preferably have web access to their accounts to keep track & shud opt for email contract notes & demat details.

the best business i could think of is puting up small sandwhich shops(100sq.f) infront of every IT park...can make 50% on every piece. competition can be managed by low price

One of the businesses with no limitations of installed capacity and extremely high ROE is High end broking. ( Any underlying asset, not necessarily financial assets only ). The typical size of the transaction in the high end broking is at least 25/50 crores and that is just for the starters.

The core competency has to be the right background, right network, right presentation skills and the ability to slug it out on a long term basis with single minded devotion. Like investing, here also , you do not have to have a deal every day/week/month and even one deal a year could be highly rewarding.
 
Of course, this is not every one's cup of tea.

Does one need to be stationed in Delhi or Lucknow for that?

Have you seen that CrabTree switches advertisement?
 
"Sir, We need to invest 25 lakhs in infrastructure and 50 lakhs in power"
 
That's an example of high end broking I guess - and can be done from Patna

Not necessarily but it helps. (That way, right presence would be needed not only locally but even internationally in some of the deals through associates/friends/network.)
 
 
More important is the friends at the right places, not necessarily in Governments only. While this business may need to touch some ends in Govts., even that is not necessarily.
 
Underlying deal could be some parcel of land, some old real estate, some antique, some equity placement at an attractive valuation, some local /forex loan of mega amounts ( not necessarily from banking /institutional sources), some M & A , some indenting broking, some dispute resolution through good offices, etc. etc.
 
In fact, the list is endless and these deals do happen around us. And I am not referring to acting as a tout or necessarily involving deals through corruption.
 
Whether we are able to notice them or not is a different matter altogether.

Hi all, I am contemplating starting a hostel/PG sort of thing near a tier 2 city. (I heard there is a good demand since an engg college has come up nearby) While this is something that doesn't interest me, i cant think of any other business idea right now. I dont have to buy the land as my father in law has some land there. Just the construction cost. Like I said am not very keen on this considering the natue of the business.  However if it can generate good revenue i want to consider it. Morover this can create a few job opportunities too. And I want to provide free accomodation to a few poor students. These both should give some sort of a satisfaction.  I have a couple of qustions to the experts here.
1)Are there any risks in this buisiness?. To me it seems to be risk free.
2)Can this generate substantial revenue?

Thanks

It is good to know local police. Students will create some scene once in a while and local police will try to fish in troubled waters. Your revenue will depend on rooms.
