Thrissur has Kerala's densest gold-jewelry economy (manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers concentrated in Round and adjacent streets) plus the world-famous Thrissur Pooram festival drawing 4-5 lakh visitors annually. A combined operator running specialised distribution services for gold-jewelry brands (wholesale logistics, regional dispatch, customs/insurance for export) plus a curated cultural-tourism operator (festival packages, heritage walks, Kathakali and Theyyam experiences) captures both.
Capex of 15-35 lakh covers a small office, security infrastructure, vehicles for distribution, and 6 months of working capital. MUDRA Tarun + Kerala Tourism's cultural-tourism subsidy fund the build. Hard parts: gold logistics insurance/security (high-value cargo), Pooram-related extreme seasonality on the tourism side, and building both client bases. Start with distribution services (recurring B2B); tourism in year 2.
