Business Idea Three - Instant foods

Instant foods can be prepared at home hygienically and economically.

We spend so much money on buying instant foods. Have you heard of making rice-dhall pancakes ( Adai in Tamil) in a minute? Have you heard of making rawa kesari in a minute? Instant pongal, instant upma, you name it is there in the market.

You need not be worried of the chemicals that are added to make the process quicker. When you prepare at home you will know the difference. No chemicals added and yet safe to be stored and consumed.

The market for instant food is really good now.

MYIDentity for women provides training on preparing these instant foods. If you are interested, the training can also be on a commercial scale where we guide you to make in large quantities.

Business Idea Two - Food industry

Ground and processed spices

A very good business to start from home. Good spices and masala powders can be prepared at a small scale from home initially. 
 Nothing like the taste and not to mention the health benefits when we prepare things at home.
A very minimal investment is required to start at a small scale and not much space and equipments too.

Basic requirements like Chicken masala powders and biriyani powders can be prepared at home.

MYIDentityforwomen conducted training in Ground and processed spices. The training was conducted by a food consultant that has more than 20 years experience. One lady in the group took our advice and started distributing it to her neighbours and relatives. Now as a group they are selling to smaller shops.







Business Idea One: Starting a jewellery business

Every woman likes to be an entrepreneur. Period.

Who does not love to stay at home, do what they like and still earn money?
Who wishes to wake up early morning, get ready for office, eat/skip breakfast run to catch the company bus or whatever transport, arrive office again to be loaded with work, no time for breaks, then God knows what time they get back home only to eat ready-made stale cold food? Not to forget the guilt that they undergo for not spending time with the family.
Keeping in mind the stress that every woman undergoes, we have simple business ideas that can be started at home. These ideas need minimal investment and less of your time. But you should also remember that more time you devote for your business the more successful you will be.

Jewellery
Every woman loves jewellery and everyone likes to wear unique jewellery.
You can start a small business by first getting trained in jewellery making, be it silver, or costume or other clay mediums.

Most of the candidates that come to our workshop say the same thing; I used to buy jewellery, then since it was getting expensive thought I will make my own!
Savings is also earnings!

MYIDentityforwomen is an initiative that provides training in all  areas that are suitable for women. Trainings are conducted by professionals that have more than 20 years of experience in their respective fields. We provide training, consulting and marketing solutions.

Heartfelt thanks to all - My blog has crossed 1000 views (Can't believe it!)

Hi everyone,

Thank you all so much for viewing my blog and making it reach 1000.

Next to Indian viewership, I have viewers from the U.S. followed by the U.K, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany and France and many more.

To have an audience from all parts of the world makes a very humbling experience.

It encourages me to write more and makes me nervous too.

Each blog I spend a lot of time trying to get primary data for both information and photos.

Do give me your feedback on what areas you need more information etc.

You are welcome to write to me at vigneshkavitha@gmail.com

Once again thank you all so much.

Terracota Jewellery workshops in Chennai

Recently I conducted Terracota jewellery workshops in Chennai. There was a good response. I conducted both in Adyar, Chennai and for the MSME, Govt of India. Lots of networking and ideas. It was a good experience.



The little girl in the above picture is a child artist and acts in Tamil TV soaps. She was so interested to learn. Though we did not have plans to teach children, we accomodated her because of her interest. Her mother is sitting next to her.


This is the picture of the workshop conducted in MSME, Govt of India, Chennai.

Silver for Baby

We believe literally in 'Born with the silver spoon'.

As soon as the baby is born, grandmothers and grandfathers are so excited not to forget the parents.

They all rush to the jewellery shops to buy jewellery in gold and utensils in silver. Most of them they buy all this in advance and keep! Again what everyone buys is according to their financial status.

A small utensil called "Paaladai" is used to feed the baby medicines. A unique shape.

I find fillers less punishable:)

Then a silver bowl with a silver spoon.
Again a hand-raised silver plate. I know what you are thinking. The baby is just born!

But we need a reason to buy silver and gold:)

And a silver glass to drink milk.

Recently I saw a silver feeding bottle!

I visited a silver shop to buy a lamp and I requested the owner to take some pictures of baby items.

He agreed and was so nice to unpack them and he himself took all the photos and sent it thru Whatsapp!

Here are the pictures.





The second one is the "Paaladai" that is used to give medicines to babies.
