The Story in Brief
Mohammad Sohail Ansari of Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh, now earns Rs 3, 4 lakh a year from a clothes shop, five years after his sister gave him her piggy bank savings to start the business, the Times of India reports. He had been working for others on a modest income when she suggested he open his own shop and handed over the money she had been saving. Sohail sells shirts, T-shirts, jeans, and bermudas at prices starting around Rs 200, 300, sourcing stock from Delhi, Mumbai, Gujarat, Jalgaon, and Indore. The business has become his family's main source of income.
The Indian Opinion
Stories such as this one often feed a lazy narrative that any Indian can start a business with only a few rupees and sheer will. That ignores the millions who try and fail for lack of formal credit, social networks, or a safety net. Sohail succeeded because his sister had saved enough to give him a start, and he had the grit to keep going for five years. The test that matters is not whether one person beat the odds, but how many more could if they had similar support.
