Central Delhi has Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid, Lal Qila — 1.5L+ daily tourist footfall but curated experiential tourism is thin. A small operator running heritage food walks, photography tours, and craft retail captures the premium-experience segment.

Central Delhi has India's densest heritage footprint within a 2 km radius — Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Khari Baoli spice market, Daribah Kalan jewellery lanes. Generic guided tours are saturated; the gap is curated experiential offerings. Heritage food walks (paratha-walli galli to Karim's), photography tours through havelis, calligraphy and katha sessions in Sufi shrines — all at premium pricing (1,500-4,000 per person). A small 4-person operating team can run 10-15 tours weekly.
Capex of 4-12 lakh covers basic equipment, training fees, marketing photography, and 6 months of working capital. MUDRA Shishu/Tarun and Delhi Tourism Department's promotional grants cover the build. Hard parts: building Tripadvisor and Airbnb Experiences ratings, finding 4-6 deeply-trained guides, and seasonal flow (Oct-Mar peak; brutal summer). Realistic: 100+ bookings/month at scale, 3-5 lakh net.
