  • 100+ Investor Views
We're a DPIIT-recognized agritech startup revolutionizing sustainable farming. Company Overview. Gomini, founded this year, post 12 years of operations through its charitable trust, specializes in setting up decentralized dairy farms leveraging Self Help Groups (SHGs) under the Government-backed National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) framework. We've created 100+ small dairy entrepreneur units and a dozen large setups for investors, focusing on indigenous breeds and organic panchgavya products in Bihar and beyond. Brand Essence. Gomini represents ethical, sustainable stewardship - minimalist branding with earthy motifs, blending cultural heritage and modern tech for premium, organic dairy solutions. We emphasize quality over mass production, appealing to investors seeking impact-driven opportunities. Promoters. Led by a deeptech (IOT, Blockchain, AI/ML & CyberSec) and panchgavya expert with Bihar roots, passionate about rural empowerment. Backed by a team of agronomists and advisors, we've executed like operators, bootstrapping decentralised models with proven expertise in SHG integrations. Business Model. Own a managed dairy farm without hassles: Invest ₹20 lakhs+ (for 5+ cow herds) in FICO/FOCO models. We handle setup, operations, and management via NRLM-backed SHGs and Panchpreneurs – no land ownership or daily ops required. Revenue from panchgavya (milk, ghee, bio-products) with projected 20% annual returns (variable, post 12-18 months). Decentralized, scalable, and Government-supported for low-risk growth. Average Footfall per Outlet. No physical outlets – our virtual model means "footfall" is digital: Avg. 50,000+ daily SKU sales from our alumnis and partners on e-commerce. Own a dairy farm without owning the Infra is our latest offering where we set up decentralized integrated dairy farm with the help of Bihar Government's BRLPS program. Competitive Differentiation. Unlike centralized dairy giants requiring land and ops, Gomini offers passive, SHG-leveraged decentralization with Government backing. Our expertise in 100+ small units and 12 large investor setups ensures seamless scaling, focusing on indigenous breeds for resilient, organic output – ethical and efficient. Why an Investor Should Take Up Gomini's Franchise/Distribution. Invest for passive ownership: Build a managed dairy farm without land hassles or management – we leverage NRLM SHGs for operations, delivering projected revenue (e. g. , ₹5-7L/cow/year potential) and impact (rural jobs, breed preservation). Lucrative for business investors: Scalable from small herds to large, with flexible exits post-3 years at audited value. Join a proven model with 100+ entrepreneurs and 12 large successes – resilient, Government-backed, and recession-proof in agri's primary sector. We offer two models under the "Own Your Managed Dairy" program: 1. Fixed return model: Returns are fixed based on your investment with no lock-ins post the 3rd year. Partial or full exit entitles 100% capital refund. 2. Portfolio Model: We would create an SPV for investments greater than 4 Cr. In both cases, operations are taken care of by Gomini.

Evaluating Best Franchises to Own in 2023

Before investing, prospective franchisees typically look for the best franchises to own 2023. While this can be subjective and varies based on personal interests and market demands, certain franchises consistently rank high due to their robust business models and potential for profitability. For instance, the cleaning franchise, which includes both residential and commercial cleaning franchise options, continues to be popular due to the steady demand for cleaning services. Even restaurant franchises and education franchises continue to be popular due to the steady demand in these sectors.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Franchise

When considering a franchise, one should evaluate the initial investment, low cost franchise opportunities, ongoing fees, and support structure. Some individuals might opt for franchises under 50k, which include successful models like the fast food franchise, preschool franchise, fitness franchise, retail franchise, healthcare franchise, home inspection franchise, or the handyman franchise. These options typically have lower barriers to entry while still offering comprehensive support.

Rising Demand for Low Cost and Cheap Franchise Opportunities

For aspiring entrepreneurs concerned about capital, low cost franchise opportunities and cheap franchises provide an accessible entry point into the market. Especially for first-time entrepreneurs, this is a great way to begin and test the waters. Options like the senior care franchise and training institute franchise for sale require moderate investment but can yield high returns with the right market focus and strategic operation.

Exploring Niche Markets: Real Estate and Food Franchises

Real estate franchises cater to those interested in property management, while food franchise opportunities appeal to gastronomes looking to blend their passion with business. These industries are diverse and can include everything from a cafe franchise or pizza franchise for sale to a high-end restaurant franchise opportunities.

The Rising Popularity of Small Franchises

For those with limited resources or a desire for a more manageable business, a small franchise business might be an ideal choice. These smaller-scale operations often feature more straightforward business models and require fewer employees. Additionally, they provide a more personalized service, improving customer loyalty and satisfaction.

Affordable and Accessible Franchise Options

Engaging with affordable franchises and finding the cheapest franchise to open can help reduce financial pressures associated with new business ventures. Cheap franchise opportunities provide a broad spectrum of choices, from a spa franchise to the learning experience franchise, allowing individuals to align their business choice with personal passions while managing costs effectively.

These include eco-friendly businesses, tech-centered models, and health-oriented services. Importantly, franchises like the home care franchise and burgeoning gym franchise for sale can position entrepreneurs for success thanks to the growing focus on health and sustainability.
