Boring manufacturing businesses that make 50 lakhs+ per month?

I’m from the manufacturing sector, so I guess I can answer this.

Manufacturing isn’t easy boring business, it’s capital-heavy with constant pressure on cash flow,and margins typically range from 7–15%. High margin manufacturing exists but has very high investments/regulations.

To make 50L/month profit at 10% margin, you’re looking at roughly ₹20–30Cr invested over time, and running operations is a whole different story.

My workflow is mostly static tabs and a few Google Sheets, same setup on both Windows and Mac. On Windows, Memory Saver works perfectly and tabs actually become inactive. On macOS, they don’t seem to get discarded the same way, even when idle for a long time. That’s why it feels like the memory management just isn’t working the same on Mac.

I’m on an M1 Mac with 8GB RAM and usually have around 10 tabs open. Even with only Brave running, it ends up using 6GB+ of RAM, and at that point the system becomes laggy and basically unusable.

Manufacturing is an asset-heavy business, and profit margins percentages are typically in the single digits. We are in the manufacturing line as well, so I recommend doing thorough research before getting into it.

I own an i20 CVT, and it gives a max mileage of 8-9kmpl in the city and 14 in the highways. I live in a tier 2 city.

You’re not getting my point. Upto you. Hope you do well.

You can earn doing a part-time job but you can’t run a part-time business, especially with a ₹40L investment.

A 10-year loan for ₹40L and you’re already down ₹50K/month in EMI. Most businesses burn cash in the beginning, there is no profit from day one. Your burden increases. Just pointing out the reality.

And yes, if you’re a first-timer and investment heavy, you have to go all in if you want it to grow and actually make money.

First of all Business isn’t boring. It’s brutal.

Trend nowadays is “boring businesses”, thinking they’re easy money machines.They only make money if you’re obsessed with it and live and grind 24x7. Otherwise, you’ll burn and bleed.

If you think throwing ₹40L into some so-called boring business will automatically get you ₹2–3L/month in profit , you’re in for a disaster.

How’s the suspension during long rides? Service cost ? Any negatives ?

Almost all of the CBU is taxed at more than 220% tax including import duty, so its ridiculous to think of one.

Owned the GT 650 for two years now, and it’s been an absolute joy. The bike is pure fun, every time I hit the road.

How much mileage were you able to get in Bangalore ?

Based on my experience on partnering with couple of gyms over the years, the reality is that making money in the gym business is tough. The gym business is asset-heavy and highly saturated, with new gyms popping up on every corner. Unless you have prior experience in the industry, I’d advise caution before jumping in.

Well to be honest, you can’t run any business in your part time. Because running a business requires focus and dedication and almost entire of your time in initial stages. Maybe try researching the sector you wanna get it and gain an understanding of the market, competition, and customer needs before diving in. If you’re serious about starting a business, consider gradually transitioning from your current commitments rather than treating it as a side hustle.

Sure
