Guidance from Rodinhoods to build up my Company & Future

Dear Friends,

I am into small traditional business of trading into Electrical & Engineering Industrial Products(switchgears, Cables, Motors, valves,etc) and also manufacturing (don’t have own setup but ha e been associated with some good manufacturers and get manufactured on job work,though it’s my brand name which I do and not theirs) of products like industrial filters,boiler equipment, control panels, panels with vfd drives etc with major clients being (sure most hated for new tech generation) Sugar Industry. I am trying to build some other business’ some with same clients and some into completely new fields but am not able to put in my 100% as my older business(which was in partnership & just 2 yrs back started on my own and have help from my father for day to day operations) takes my time & personal presence at sites (which is out of mumbai in rural parts of Maharshtra & Karnataka) and can’t leave it survival/daal Roti ka sawaal hai 😉

Something about Business’ I am trying to simultaneously develop:

1. Getting Economical & Environmental stability through waste to energy (Biogas from waste from Distilleries, Energy from Bagasse (fibrous matter that remains after sugarcane) Co2 recovery from process of Distillery & Boilers, Environment audit 

2. Organic Foods & Organic inputs for organic Farming.

So that was my background now what I am looking from my fellow Rodinhoods to help me with is guidance & share their experiences where & who can help me in growing this business & clear my hurdles which are mentioned below

1. Co2 recovery Plant for a Distillery costs around INR 10 CR (Capital Investment + Fixed Cost + Variable Cost) (not considering Land & Raw Material Cost as the factory has it with them within the campus of Factory freely available) and capital can be recovered in approx 1 year and in end of 2 years (Cap cost + FC for 2 years + Variable cost for 2 years) can be recovered from 3rd year Investor starts getting profits..and many other areas are there where profits can increased and there is no issues or cost (promotional/advertising/costumer acquisition) so which type of Investors can be of help for getting into MOU with combination of My company(which will have Technology & Plant)/Investor & Customer for Build-Own-Operate- Transfer agreement for around 8-10 years of tenure

2. How can I develop my Organic inputs business (Organic Fertilizers) and Organic Foods business where i would be just a trader online as I don’t have Capital,Land for investment at this moment and associating with an ecommerce company won’t help as it would mean doing work for the brands I buy materials from and won’t help me promote my my company just dent in my margins and awareness creation..I want to stay in this Market and do something very niche & specific and any leads from you’ll will make me think on different & innovative ideas

3. Taking Co2 (completely sell basis and not BOOT), Biogas/Boiler related products , organic foods & Engineering(Fabricated products Control panels, storage tanks) to International market especially Europe, South africa & African Countries

Hope to get Guidance and Help from all of you’ll I know all these is not possible at same time and instantly but i am in no hurry but triggers would help me take steps ahead in right direction

Thanking you all in anticipation

  1. Dear Darshan,

    The requirements are quite diversified. I can only give you suggestions on point Number 2: Organic Fertilizers and food business.

    I have been in the organic food business for two years researching and sourcing and finally launched my e-commerce website https://www.i2cook.com a 100% online organic store.

    We also process our own organice products such as Peanut Butter, Pink Mustard and Granola bars in stores.

    I can put you touch with Hari Bhari Tokri who sell organic veggies across Mumbai. It is a consortium of volunteers mostly owning small organic farms and selling season organic veggies with door delivery and pick up options.

    You can get in touch with me at pawan@i2cook.com if you need any further information.

  2. Dear Darshan,

    There are a lot of companies who help entrepreneurs cum manufacturers like you take things to the next level. Many of them are European MNC’s looking for strategic partners who can help them to get into India as India is a better market from them at present than anywhere in Europe.

    I would appreciate if you can drop me a line at amit@amitkmishra.com and I can connect you with relevant people across organisation who may able to help you the requisite capital and things which are needed for you.

    Cheers                                                                                                                                                                          Amit
