Kendujhar (Keonjhar) district has Odisha's largest iron-ore reserves feeding TATA Steel, JSW, Jindal, and others. The same district has Bhuyan and Bhuiyan tribal heritage. A combined operator running mining-ancillary services plus a tribal-craft retail brand captures both economies.
Capex of 15-35 lakh covers fabrication tools, vehicles, retail fit-out, and 6 months of working capital. MSME-Cluster Development scheme + DCH (handicrafts) jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: securing mining contracts, ethical tribal engagement, and managing two operating models. Start with mining services (steady year-round); craft retail in year 2.
