This thread is dedicated to the SMEs who are finding doing business in the New India a very good opportunity. #SMEs #NewIndia @nsitharaman @nitin_gadkari @PMOIndia It is NOT a plug-in for @amazonIN
One of my clients is into a small business. What does he do? He assembles white boards, green boards, notice boards of all shapes and sizes. He is an Odia person who has the heart in all the right places and a willingness to work.
Earlier, he used to make and market his products locally and employed about 10 people. He faced issues in marketing and enabling transporters to pick up his materials. As his mfg. unit was based in the vicinity of a residential colony, there was lot of issues for vehicles.
The locality people used to create hurdles and used to inform Police. And unless he paid the police, nothing will move. It was a daily issue.
Then he started selling on Amazon. What has happened essentially is that now he does not have to bother about marketing or distribution. His focus is on production and ensuring that the finished goods is available on time for the pick up by Amazon.
The dashboard provided by Amazon serves his purpose extremely well. He knows how many orders have come in, how many sales have happened for the day, for the week, the month...
He is now employing around 28 people. The people who used to fight with him, are also employed by him because he needs additional hands. He has employed many Ladies whose husbands do day time jobs elsewhere.
These ladies had time in their hands & were ready to earn extra by working on their available time.
He says, "Mandi is for those people who are lazy. For people who are ready to work, time is at a premium". It is a privilege for me to see him grow in every which way. By the by, his wife, is running a Play School where they live and they take care of about 50 kids - in 2 shifts.
This is the New India, which I believe was visualized by @narendramodi and represents India of my dreams where people work to smell and feel success. Am tagging few people so that this message of positivity be spread. @NAN_DINI_ @onlyonenetra @SulagnaDash6 @smita_muk
