Kavaratti is Lakshadweep's administrative capital and primary tourism gateway — most permit-bearing tourists land here. A small operator running curated tourism experiences (snorkelling, kayak tours, traditional fishing experiences, sunset beach dining) plus a Lakshadweep-origin retail outlet (selling coconut oil, dried fish, shell crafts, coir products from across the islands) captures both visitor spend and mainland online sales.
Capex of 15-30 lakh covers tourism equipment, retail fit-out, photography, and online distribution work. NEC's tourism subsidy plus MUDRA Tarun fund the build. Hard parts: managing two business models, Lakshadweep's permit-restricted access (which limits demand), and shipping logistics for retail dispatches. Realistic: profitable from year 3 if both streams develop together.
