Nanded district has Hazur Sahib (one of the five Takhts of Sikhism, drawing substantial pilgrim flow) plus substantial cotton cultivation. A combined operator running pilgrim-services plus a cotton ginning unit captures both economies.
Capex of 15-30 lakh covers accommodation, ginning equipment, and 6 months of working capital. Maharashtra Tourism's pilgrim-services scheme plus NABARD-AIF jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: managing pilgrim seasonality, two operating models. Start with cotton ginning (steady year-round); pilgrim services in year 2.
