24M from India | I have ₹50,000 and want to start my first business — looking for guidance

Hi everyone,

I'm 24 and I have around ₹50,000 (about $580) that I want to use to start a small business.

I'm not looking for someone to invest money in me. I'm looking for someone who has actually built a business and is willing to guide me honestly.

I want to learn:

How to choose a business with ₹50k

How to validate an idea before spending money

Finding the first customers

Marketing and sales

Managing cash flow

How to reinvest profits and grow gradually

I'm willing to do the actual work. I don't expect anyone to build the business for me.

If you've started a business with limited capital and are willing to share your experience or guide me occasionally, I'd genuinely appreciate it.

I'm especially interested in connecting with entrepreneurs from India/Odisha, but I'm open to learning from anyone.

Thank you. 🙏
