Entrepreneurship with compassion

That’s a beautiful vision—blending entrepreneurship with compassion. A “twin model” Rasoi business that serves paying customers while also feeding the needy for free or at subsidized rates is both noble and doable. Here’s how you could shape it:

1. Business + Social Model

Think of it as a “Buy One, Give One” kitchen. For every meal sold, a portion of the proceeds funds a free or low-cost meal for someone in need. You can:

• Run a cloud kitchen or tiffin service for paying customers

• Use the profits or donations to fund meals for the underprivileged

2. Inspiration from Real Initiatives

• in Delhi runs a mobile kitchen that serves nutritious meals to the poor, funded by donors and sponsors.

• in Madhya Pradesh offers full meals at ₹5 to laborers and the needy, supported by government grants.

These models show it’s possible to scale with the right support and structure.

3. How You Can Start

• Kitchen Setup: Start small with a home kitchen or rent a commercial space.

• Menu Planning: Offer simple, nutritious meals that are cost-effective.

• Funding: Use a mix of customer revenue, crowdfunding, and local sponsorships.

• Distribution: Partner with NGOs, shelters, or use mobile vans to reach the needy.

• Visibility: Share your mission on social media to attract both customers and donors.

4. Bonus Ideas

• Let customers “sponsor a meal” at checkout.

• Celebrate birthdays or anniversaries by donating meals in someone’s name.

• Offer volunteer opportunities for people to help with cooking or distribution.

• Funding is the fuel that’ll keep your Rasoi + social impact engine running. Here are some effective funding options tailored for a mission-driven food business like yours:

  1. Impact Investors & Social Venture Capital

  These are investors who care about both profit and purpose. They fund businesses that generate measurable social good. Look into platforms like Acumen, Aavishkaar, or Villgro in India.

  2. Crowdfunding Platforms

  Websites like Ketto, Milaap, and Kickstarter let you tell your story and raise small contributions from many people. It’s also a great way to build a community around your mission.

  3. Government Grants & Subsidies

  India has several schemes supporting food entrepreneurship and social enterprises. Check out:

  • PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PM-FME)

  • Startup India Seed Fund Scheme

  • State-level social welfare or food security programs.

  4. CSR Partnerships

  Many companies are required to spend on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). You can partner with them to sponsor meals or infrastructure in exchange for visibility and impact reporting.

  5. Social Business Incubators

  These programs offer funding, mentorship, and networking. Look into:

• NSRCEL at IIM Bangalore

• Atal Incubation Centres

• UnLtd India.

• 6. Local Sponsorships & Donations

  Approach local businesses, community leaders, or religious organizations to sponsor meals or donate kitchen equipment. It’s grassroots, but powerful.

• it should hook your audience, make them care, and leave them wanting more. Here are some tried-and-true tips to help you shine:

  1. Start with a Strong Hook

  Open with a surprising fact, a powerful question, or a short story that highlights the problem you're solving. First impressions matter!

  2. Clearly Define the Problem

  Make your audience feel the pain point. Why does this issue matter? Who is affected? This builds urgency and relevance.

  3. Present Your Solution

  Explain your idea simply and confidently. Focus on the benefits, not just the features. How does your Rasoi business make lives better?

  4. Show What Makes You Unique

  What sets you apart from others doing similar work? Maybe it’s your twin model, your community ties, or your sustainable sourcing.

  5. Back It Up with Evidence Use data, testimonials, or a quick demo to prove your concept works. Even small wins or pilot results can build credibility.

  6. Know Your Numbers

  Be ready to talk about costs, revenue potential, and how funding will be used. Investors love clarity and realism.

  7. End with a Clear Ask

  Whether it’s funding, a partnership, or mentorship—be specific about what you want and what they’ll get in return.

  8. Practice Like You Mean It

• Rehearse your pitch out loud, ideally in front of others. Record yourself. Tweak your tone, pacing, and body language.
• 
  
• BRAND NAME _ SITA RASOI

A well-structured pitch is like a great recipe—it needs the right ingredients in the right order to leave a lasting impression. Here’s a simple yet powerful structure you can follow for your Rasoi + social impact business:

1. Opening Hook

Start with a personal story, a bold statement, or a surprising fact. For example: "Every night, thousands go to bed hungry in our city—while restaurants throw away perfectly good food."

2. The Problem

Clearly define the issue you're tackling. Make it relatable and urgent. "Access to affordable, nutritious food is still a daily struggle for many. Meanwhile, small food businesses struggle to stay afloat."

3. Your Solution

Introduce your Rasoi model. Explain how it works and why it’s effective. "Our twin-model Rasoi serves paying customers while funding free meals for the needy—one plate at a time."

4. Market Opportunity

Show the size of the opportunity. Who are your customers? How big is the need? "With over 10,000 working professionals and 5,000 underserved individuals in our area, the demand is real and growing."

5. Business Model

Explain how you’ll make money and sustain the social mission. "Revenue from our tiffin service funds free meals. We also offer meal sponsorships and partner with local businesses for CSR support."

6. Traction & Impact

Share any progress, pilot results, or testimonials. "In our pilot month, we served 1,200 meals—600 paid, 600 donated. Customer satisfaction was 95%."

7. Your Team

Highlight your strengths and why you’re the right person to lead this. "With a background in hospitality and a heart for service, I’ve built kitchens and communities from scratch."

8. The Ask

Be clear and confident. Whether it’s funding, mentorship, or partnerships—spell it out. "We’re seeking ₹5 lakhs to scale operations, expand delivery, and serve 10,000 meals in the next 6 months."

🚀 Government Support

• Initiatives like PMFME and PLISFPI offer financial and technical support to food entrepreneurs.

• 100% FDI is allowed in food processing, and new units can enjoy tax exemptions for the first five years.

• RTE Market: Expected to reach $1.29 billion in 2025, growing at a 13.4% CAGR through 2029. By then, over 64 million Indians are projected to be regular users.

• RTC Market: Forecast to grow by $640 million between 2024 and 2029, at a steady 8% CAGR.

• The surge is driven by urbanization, nuclear families, and time-starved professionals who want quick meals without compromising on taste or nutrition.

🥘 What’s on the Menu?

• RTE: Includes fully cooked meals like biryanis, curries, pasta, and even desserts—just heat and eat.

• RTC: Offers semi-prepped items like dosa batter, spice mixes, marinated meats, and instant noodles—minimal effort, maximum flavor.

🛒 Where People Are Buying

• Online grocery platforms and quick-commerce apps are becoming the go-to for these products, especially in Tier I and II cities.

• Supermarkets and convenience stores still play a big role, especially for impulse purchases.

•  Popular Brands Leading the Charge

  • MTR Foods, Tata Sampann, Haldiram’s, ITC Kitchen of India, Gits, and iD Fresh are innovating with preservative-free, high-protein, and regional cuisine options.

  ⚠️ Challenges to Watch

  • Food safety concerns, pricing, and consumer skepticism about preservatives still linger.

  • Brands are responding with clean-label products, better packaging, and transparent ingredient sourcing.

The convenience food scene in India is evolving fast—and 2025 is all about health, indulgence, and speed. Here’s what’s trending on the consumer plate:

🥗 1. Healthier, Cleaner Labels

Consumers are actively seeking low-preservative, additive-free, and high-protein options. Brands like ITC are doubling down on health-focused products, with their health segment reportedly growing 400 times faster than the rest of their food portfolio.

🛍️ 2. Premiumization & Indulgence

People are willing to pay more for premium, gourmet-style convenience foods—think artisanal frozen meals, organic snacks, and fusion-ready-to-eat dishes. This trend isn’t just in metros; Tier II and III cities are catching up.

🧃 3. Quick Commerce & On-the-Go Packaging

With the rise of 10-minute delivery apps, consumers expect instant gratification. Brands are responding with grab-and-go formats, resealable packs, and microwave-ready containers.

🌱 4. Plant-Based & Sustainable Choices

Eco-conscious eating is gaining ground. There’s growing demand for plant-based RTE meals, eco-friendly packaging, and locally sourced ingredients—especially among Gen Z and millennials.

🧂 5. Flavor Innovation & Regional Twists

Consumers are craving bold, regional flavors—from Chettinad curries to Kashmiri Rogan Josh—in convenient formats. Limited-time offers (LTOs) with seasonal or festive themes are also a hit.

📦 6. Frozen & Chilled Meals Dominate

Frozen meals are leading the RTE market, valued at $42 billion in 2024, projected to hit $65 billion by 2035. Their long shelf life and variety make them a go-to for busy professionals.

🏭 PMFME: Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises

Launched in 2020 and extended through FY 2025–26, this scheme supports micro food businesses, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. Its goals:

• Formalize unorganized units through registration, training, and branding.

• Provide credit-linked capital subsidies of up to ₹10 lakh per unit (35% of project cost).

• Promote the One District One Product (ODOP) approach—each district focuses on a signature food product.

• Offer seed capital to SHGs (₹40,000 per member) and support for common infrastructure like incubation centers.

Over 1.4 lakh loans have already been sanctioned under this scheme, with a strong focus on women-led and tribal enterprises.

🏢 PLISFPI: Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry

This is a big-ticket scheme aimed at large-scale food manufacturers and emerging brands. Key features:

• Offers financial incentives based on sales and investment performance.

• Focuses on four segments: ready-to-cook/ready-to-eat, processed fruits & vegetables, marine products, and mozzarella cheese.

• Encourages branding and marketing abroad to boost exports.

• Supports innovation and R&D in food processing.

It’s part of India’s broader PLI strategy to make the country a global manufacturing hub—and food is a major pillar.

ITR 2025:

 ITR 2025: Salaried taxpayers must be aware of these 7 key points before filing their income tax return

ITR 2025: The income tax return (ITR) filing season is back and taxpayers are busy arranging documents for filing of their return. Here, we list out top 7 things that salaried taxpayers should be aware of as they go through the maze.

These key points include the reasons which influence the choice of income tax regime, documents they need to procure, and tax return forms to submit. For instance, if a salaried taxpayer has accured capital gain income on account of stock market trading then s/he needs to file return via ITR-2 instead of ITR-1.

Filing ITR: 7 key points to remember

1. Choosing tax regime: Taxpayers can choose the tax regime based on their investment history and their income level. However, they are supposed to inform their employer if they want to opt for the old tax regime. Else by default, new tax regime will be selected.

2. Form 16: One document that salaried taxpayers must procure from their employer is form 16 which shows the payment of TDS on behalf of employees paid by the employer.

3. Cross referencing information via 26AS: Taxpayer can cross verify the TDS information given on form 16 with that on form 26AS. It is a statement that provides details of any amount deducted as TDS or TCS from various sources of income of a taxpayer including salary and interest on savings & FDs.

4. Investment Vs tax saving: Just because you are not entitled to claim deduction on account of investing in certain tax saving instruments, it does not mean that you should not invest in those instruments.

There could still be a strong case for investing in financial instruments for the purpose of wealth creation with or without tax saving. These instruments could include PPF, SSY, KVP and NSC, among others.

5. HRA exemption: If you are entiled to claim significant exemption on account of HRA, you can file your tax return under the old tax regime. On the other hand, if you are not entiled to it, you – as a salaried taxpayer – may file your return under the new tax regime.

6. Investments in stocks: If salaried taxpayers are investing in stocks then they can file their income tax return (ITR) via ITR-2.

7. Income through house property: If a salaried taxpayer has income from one house property, they can file ITR-1 but if they have income from more than one house property, then they need to file ITR-2.
