Small-Scale Women's Fitness Consulting Business Plan - ₹5 Lakhs/Month Target
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Real Market Reality: In every household in AP and Telangana, there's at least one woman struggling with weight management, PCOS, thyroid issues, or postpartum recovery challenges. These women desperately seek guidance but find no specialized, culturally-sensitive solutions in their native language. Currently, they're following dangerous advice from unqualified social media influencers who promote extremely low-calorie diets (800-1000 calories) that cause rapid weight loss but lead to serious health complications like hair loss, hormonal imbalances, metabolic damage, and nutritional deficiencies. This creates an enormous, underserved market where finding clients becomes effortless rather than challenging.
Business Concept: Science and research-based online fitness and nutrition consulting exclusively for women in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states, targeting ₹5 lakhs monthly revenue within 12 months by providing safe, sustainable, evidence-based solutions that protect their health while achieving lasting results.
