Hi. I am currently 29. Married with no kids. Wife not earning. Planning for a kid this year. Monthly earning 60k post tax. Have savings of 2 lakhs. Have personal loan of 9 lakhs. Monthly expenses 40k including emi's. I have lost interest in job and I don't want to work anymore. I want to do business which can give monthly 50 to 60k income. Max I can invest 2lakhs. Is there any business which I can start with 2 lakhs and generate monthly income of 60k ? I am frustrated with working under an employer. I want to start my own venture. Please suggest.
Ans: Spandan, pause before you mail the resignation.

Your maths
60 k take-home
40 k spends (15 k of that is EMI on a 9 L loan)
→ 20 k buffer

A newborn will nudge monthly costs up by 8-10 k. Cash cushion shrinks fast.

So the plan must earn while you learn, not leap blind.

Keep the paycheck six more months.
Use evenings to test micro-ideas. Risk stays capped at ?0 for now.

Choose a “cash-this-month” niche, not a moon-shot.
Pick work that turns inventory ≤ ?50 k into sales inside 30 days.

Tiffin + office snacks (two dishes, 40 boxes) - ?25 k utensils, ?10 k FSSAI, ?5 k flyers - ?120 per box × 40 = ?4.8 k /day

Amazon / Flipkart reselling (phone cases, cables) ?40 k stock, ?15 k ads 25 % net margin on ?2 L monthly sales = ?50 k

Weekend print-on-demand & personalised gifting kiosk ?45 k heat-press kit (other options are there too) ?300 profit per mug × 200 pcs → ?60 k Bring Your Mug - Take Away Memories.

Local social-media management for clinics & salons ?0 gear, ?3 k Canva Pro ?8 k-?12 k per client; 6 clients hit target

None need heavy staff or rent. All can run beside your day job.

Set one simple goal: ?15 k profit by Day-30.
Hit it twice, raise target to ?35 k. Only when side income beats salary three months straight do you quit.

This is critical - Plug leaks early. Refinance personal loan to longer tenor; shave EMI to ~?10 k.

Park 1 L of savings in an emergency account—no touch.Skill up tiny, daily.
Watch a YouTube on ad copy, take a WhatsApp course on GST filings. Low cost, immediate payback.

Start small, sell fast, reinvest every rupee. Freedom comes, but by steps, not by one loud jump.

Hello Sir ,spandan here can you please tell me which fields will be good path for me, i want to join indian army after getting a bachelors degree but i also want to get a good course in engineering. And to improve my skills i wanted to choose a niche to select like Data science,cyber security,block chain and UX/UI. Can you tell me which is a better option
Ans: Spandhan - the Indian Army of 2030: satellites humming, networks under attack, swarms of sensors feeding dashboards in a forward command post. Officers who understand code, data flows, and signal security steer that fight.

Two decisions shape your path
The bachelor’s branch you choose (for campus learning and placements).

The Army entry gate you target after graduation.

Pick a branch that helps both goals: B.Tech CSE with a Cyber-Security or AI/Data-Science minor

Specialised B.Tech Cyber Security | Blockchain / UX-UI tracks| B.Tech ECE (electronics) with electives in embedded & comms

Go CSE (or ECE) and stack cyber-security / data-science electives. That mix lines up with Army tech entries and the private market.

Know your post-degree entry doors

TGC / SSC-Tech 20-27 Age B.E./B.Tech in listed branches inc. CSE, IT, ECE Signals, EME, Engineers

CDS – IMA/OTA 19-25 Any bachelor’s, tougher written + SSB All arms; tech grads often posted Signals

Agniveer (Technical) 17.5-21 10+2/ITI, but engineering diploma grads gain edgeKeep your CGPA ≥ 7, build fitness early, aim for NCC ‘C’ (bonus marks at SSB).Pick cyber-security as primary, add AI/data electives. You’ll be useful whether you wear olive greens or a hoodie.

Keep the plan simple: CSE + Cyber/AI → TGC/SSC-Tech → Corps of Signals.
Even if you later choose the corporate highway, those same skills pay handsomely.
