"Two Kids at 14, Started a small business"
Once upon time in Surat, two little kids studying in high school in 10th grade, they were best friends forever, after completing there board exams , Summer Vacations started , every kid had that excitement to enjoy the summer vacations, play and have fun , or plan a trip to village or travelling the world , etc but these two kids thought of doing something productive, both of them decided to earn some money , they just had a small plan and decided to do a small business.
For others it was just a small business, but believe me It was the biggest One for them, "Massive Success at 14"
What they did was, they just talked to there parents , made them understand and just asked for 2000 rupees and requested to believe and permit them to execute the idea and start the business.
Fortunately, the Parents were so much supportive! They were so happy about there kids, they just showered there blessings and supported throughout!
So..both of them got 2000 each,
Finally, Rs.4000 was the Only Capital they Managed to get from there parents,
Nevertheless , they just thought of starting with whatever ideas and money they had available at the moment!
So, as soon as they got the capital of 4000 rupees , the Idea and the whole business plan was ready , what they did was...the very next day they Started the journey,
So they both were from #Surat , the very next day without wasting any time , they both went to #Mumbai in Flying Ranee train boarding from Surat in the early morning at 5 AM.
They just gathered some relevant data via internet , they got the phone numbers and addresses of few #dealers in ready garment for Men, they had a talk with 3 to 4 dealers and fixed a #meeting on that day itself telling them that we are coming to mumbai today itself to buy stock for our business of #fashion apparels, everything was done using a smart phone, during the journey , travelling in the train itself.
Finally , they reached Mumbai at 10 AM approx, altogether a New City , known as City of #Dreams, they were just lost, didn't knew how to travel and move to places within Mumbai , slowly and gradually they started knowing about Local trains , It was the Real #Struggle, moving to different dealers located at different places in mumbai-Kandivali, borivali, andheri, jogeshwari,etc
After meeting to those 3 to 4 dealers of Readymade garments for Men, they had a very nice deal, little kids asked for sample as of now at the wholesale rate which was quoted for the bulk order , by assuring the dealer regarding the bulk order in the future , by applying this technique they bought 20 pcs in total comprising of shirts and tshirts from all the 3 to 4 dealers. This much quantity they bought to start a #business.
Now, already they were very late , they just enjoyed the street food and started exploring the various #markets present over there near the railway station and in the evening they just left for Surat and by 10 Pm they reached their Home , it was a safe and wonderful journey, that #experiences was #mindblowing, full of #learnings.
So , till now just #Planning and Procurement was completed.
Now comes the marketing & Promotions and Sales & Distribution.
The Little Kids were so Smart, they started approaching their friends, relatives , Neighbors , etc. They went to sel their stock to each and everyone at their doorstep.
So , finally they managed to sell 14 pcs and they recovered their capital employed, Still 6 pcs were left with them and they liked those shirts and tshirts very much and at last, they both kept 2 tshirts and 1 shirt each for there personal use.
Believe me , they both were so happy and Satisfied , It was a wonderful experience . I mean two little Kids can teach a better MBA Program .
Out of that Rs.4000, They got stock, expenses of train, food and travelling from Surat to Mumbai, At the end they got 6 pcs as their profit.
The Biggest achievement is "They became Entrepreneurs at 14"
This two little kids were None other than, ME & My Best friend ,Ahmed.
