Hi Amit, I want to start a social responsible business, but not an NGO as i also want to make profit from it. so how the funding can be arrange as most of the social concerns are not taken care by government.

Ans: there are rich people like bill gates, azim premji and warren buffett who are looking for innovative models in social sector. In India, there are various sectors where social impact can be made including financial inclusion, healthcare, energy, housing etc.

Ans: People hide behind lack of funding for everything. I firmly believe that where there is a will, there is a way. These days there are so many online platforms for surveys like surveymonkey. Use them.

Ans: All the best in your entrepreneur journey Himanshu. Making a product / set of products is one part of the journey. There is a lot more to be done before you can be considered investment-ready. Which customer segment(s) are you targeting and why, what is the missing gap in cosmetics that you are solving for, what key issues with current products do which customers have and how is your offering significantly better, initial customer feedback and reactions, your go to market strategy, revenue model, unit economics, key leadership team etc. If you have co-founders with complementary skills and experience, esp in this competitive space with a solid track record, that is a good start. It might also help being part of a relevant incubator to get access to industry connections, mentors, even better access to potential investors. All the best
