Kadmath Island has Lakshadweep's most accessible reef diving plus traditional seaweed cultivation by local fishing families. A combined operator running tourism services (snorkelling tours, dive certifications, beachside cabanas) plus a seaweed-processing unit (drying, packaging dried sea-vegetables for the growing health-food D2C market) captures both. Seaweed has rapidly-growing demand from wellness brands.
Capex of 12-25 lakh covers tourism gear, dive equipment, drying area, packaging, and 6 months of working capital. NEC's tourism subsidy plus PMMSY for the marine-cultivation component fund the build. Hard parts: managing two operations (one seasonal tourism, one year-round agro), Lakshadweep's permit-restricted access, and seaweed-cultivation training (it's a specialised skill). Start with snorkelling tourism (faster cash flow); seaweed in year 2.
