Personal profile of founder:

 

Chandni Kagalwalla, 26 is the founder of the Nutricare brand of nutrition consultancy services based in Mumbai.  Armed with a PGDHS (Post Graduate Diploma Dietetics and Hospital Food Service) and BHSc (Food and Nutrition) Chandni, a consultant nutritionist since 2007 brings you her expertise in Medical Nutrition Therapy to achieve health, fitness and overall well being.

Her Forte: Chandni specializes in Corporate Nutrition Services, Pediatric Nutrition counseling, with a special interest in tackling picky eaters, Weight Management Solutions for adults and children (counseling and lifestyle modification techniques ).

 

How did you get the idea to begin this venture (detailed description of idea generation & implementation of idea)?

 

As a Nutrition Consultant, could not see myself restricted to just a gymnasium or a hospital , as there were many arenas which needed to be explored outside too . Hence, got attached to a pediatric hospital where I started seeing a lot of picky eaters and I started off with a counseling and meal plan module with them, which gave excellent results .

 

Also, got a good break with a few corporate patients (who were offered onsite Nutrition consultation) for weight management. This was purely based on overall lifestyle modification and not just a quick weight loss diet. Also had a lot of behavioral counseling involved. It gave amazing results.

 

What were the supporting/motivating factors in setting up this business?

 

Family and friends!

 

What is your USP (unique selling proposition)?

 

The very fact that I adopt a customized approach towards every patient; I am always readily availaible over the phone and SMS and personally answer all queries. 

 

What are the problems that you are facing?

 

Marketing my services is a huge stumbling block as I have been unable to create awareness among people other than those from the vicinity of my area of operations and the patients visiting the clinics.

 

Where do you see yourself in future?

 

Running a full fledged Nutrition Management Clinic!

 

How much use of technology is being made to promote business?

 

Apart from printing and distributing brochures I also use social networking sites like Facebook.

Do you have?

• An inquisitive mind
• The ability to gauge and assess abstract facets of the shopping experience
• Information about latest trends
• An eye for detail
• People skills
• The ability to ask intelligent questions

And oh yes!   I forgot to add…do you love to shop?

Then here are 3 One of a Kind Business Ideas where you can get paid to shop.  Sounds too good to be true?  Read on…

Personal Shoppers

Get paid to shop?  Yes…people get paid to shop for others…that’s what personal shoppers do. 

Catering to a niche market comprising of high profile business owners, managers, head honchos at leading corporations, personal shoppers are hired by people who have the money and want to wear the best (most times have their own distinct style) but don’t have the time to go shopping.

If you love to shop, then garnering information about the best places to buy various items of clothing, footwear and accessories and an eye for detail is all you need to turn in to a much sought after personal shopper.  

Mystery Shoppers

Always wanted to be your own boss?  Love to shop?  Possess keen observation skills and the ability to follow a client’s brief to the “T”?  Then mystery shopping is something you can turn in to a profession and a venture too.  Here’s the nitty gritty of it….

Who is a Mystery Shopper?

A mystery shopper is someone who is hired to shop, something like a personal shopper but the aims and objectives of hiring mystery shoppers are different from those of personal shoppers. 

A mystery shopper is hired by clients who want to assess the impact of various aspects of buying.  For instance a company may hire a mystery shopper to determine the level of customer service that is provided at its stores.

There are a number of companies that conduct marketing research for corporate clients.  Registering with them is the best way to get in to the mystery shopping business.  I would recommend registering with reputed market research companies or agencies.

Image Consultants or Personal Stylists

The business of looking good and feeling good which has always been a lucrative business opportunity is one huge business opportunity now more than ever. 

Be it hair, makeup or footwear helping other people zero in on a particular “look” is serious business.  Some minimum investment in an image consultancy course and a genuine interest in helping people find that perfect look is all you need to turn your dream of running your own image consultancy in to reality.

As a personal stylist you will have to source clothes, accessories and footwear to help your client find a look that meets his or her needs and budget.  Working closely with clients to find the right look is an exciting process but demands oodles of patience at your end!

How do you set up a business venture around these ideas?

• Get a blog
• Sign up with reputed market research agencies
• Contact corporate clients

More importantly dress well, network and get the word around that you are game to function as an independent shopper.
