Drop the two-business tourism-operator scope and concentrate on the durable thread: heritage craft retail anchored on Hampi footfall. This builds on the district's Hampi-Anegundi heritage tourism atom for visitor traffic and the Kinhal wooden toy craft (GI) atom for a protected, ownable product, and captures the Kinhal-toys-to-branded-retail gap by selling finished, well-packaged gifting SKUs rather than loose craft. Curate banana-fibre baskets and bags from Anegundi alongside GI-certified Kinhal toys into a single curated brand with 12-15 SKUs across price points. Sell through a small Anegundi-side outlet catching Hampi visitors, hotel and homestay tie-ups, and an always-on online store that decouples revenue from the tourist season. Buyers are heritage tourists, gifting and corporate-gifting channels, and décor shoppers. Honest constraints: maintaining Kinhal GI authenticity and artisan supply, consistent finishing on handmade lots, and packaging fragile pieces for shipment. DCH handicrafts support and the tourism subsidy fund the outlet, inventory and branding. Start retail (steady year-round); add curated craft tours in year two.
