Fresh graduate planning a cloud kitchen in Guwahati — how do I raise funds without big loans?

I just graduated recently, and I’ve been planning to start my own food business. My long-term dream is to open a cozy café in Guwahati, but since I don’t have the capital yet, I’m thinking of starting small with a cloud kitchen.

I currently live in Shillong, but my hometown is in Jhalukbari, Guwahati. My idea is to take a small rented room in Guwahati, hire a chef, and start a cloud kitchen focused on quality food and consistent branding. Once the business becomes stable and profitable, I want to expand it into a full café or restaurant.

The part I’m struggling with is raising funds. Since I’m just starting out, I’m specifically looking for:

Schemes or programs that provide financial assistance to new entrepreneurs

Options where repayment isn’t required unless the business becomes profitable

Grants or youth-entrepreneurship initiatives in India (or specifically Assam)

Any way to get started without taking on heavy debt

If anyone has experience with cloud kitchens, government schemes, startup funding, or knows of any Assam-specific opportunities, your guidance would mean a lot. I just want to build something of my own and create a sustainable, profitable business over time.

Would appreciate any advice, suggestions, or guidance. Thank you!
