Confused Asf

I’m 20 and honestly confused between starting a normal business or going into manufacturing.

I have access to around ₹50 lakh capital (loan), and I really want to build something big long term instead of doing a regular job.

The problem is manufacturing feels scalable and profitable, but also risky and complicated. On the other hand, service or trading businesses seem easier to start but maybe less defensible.

I’m from India and open to industries with good demand and decent margins. I don’t mind working hard, but I don’t want to blindly burn money either.

\-People who started with similar capital, what would you do today?

\-Manufacturing or another business model?

\-Which industries still have strong future potential in India?

Would genuinely appreciate practical advice and real experiences.
