29f, starting my own exports
Hi there! Im 29,f, from a lower middle class family. My mom and dad have been government servants and have made just one decent house and also educated me with good education!
I finished my mba in 2023 from a tier 2 college with 20 lakhs loan, got placed in a goor company at 16 loa(13 fixed) waited two years, got my promotion now currently at 24 lpa (18 fixed)
I have 3 years experience post mba and also my bachelors is in hospitality administration (from a central govt college ihm) and i workee two years in big hotels in india( consider 5 star hotels)
Totally i have 5 years experience now (3 years exports of agri products particularly handling europe and uk market) 2 years in hotels ( restaraunts)
Im planning to venture out if corporate (it sure took. Huge toll on my health and i figured im spending close to 14-15 hours a day and thats not worth my health or my salary and also not getting time to spend with family ) hence im planning to venture out to start my own export business -
I understand in detail about procurements to shipment . Quality , european and uk buyer expectations, etc but i dont want to do food anymore Becuz its highly risky and requires very nuch high investment
I have registered my sole proprietorship firm in india now gst done bank account done now waiitnf for cheque book to apply for iec code
Anyways coming back i have interests in starting a travel business where i can take people or groups on tours as well as a wedding decorating/ planning business (from my experience in hotels this is what i used to do back then)
Now im little scared to leave my Corporate job and start all out together becz im the oldest daughter and my parents will soon become dependent on me
I also an not married yet and dont have it as a checklist anytime soon . All i want is to become financially independent with freedom of time !
I also am not fixed to any industry to do exports - would need your advise or suggeztions as per you what is the booming business
I Currently have 5 lpa to start persinally and can also take msme loans if required (anyone knows any govt schemes that will support women for exports busienss from govt of india plz let me know)
This post is not to take yr advise and follow blidnly but jsut a post for discussions and i like to connect with people and undertake your pov as it helps me
To expand my perspectives!
