Enhancing a business

Having had a look at these livelihoods and businesses, I've always wondered if I could do something to make these two better, not only in this course but also throughout my life. One of them I'd pick is Mr Vinay, the fruit seller.


Ya thats the dude up there. He told us his business was running well and he was doing well to sustain himself. But he could do better with some expert tips:

  • He has his cart full of fruits on the side of the G.K.V.K agricultural campus road. Not many people enter into G.K.V.K. Those who do get there do so to get into the university as a student or as a professor of the university. If he could get his cart out the entrance zone and move around Vidyaranyapura selling fruits then he would profit more and it wouldn't cost him very much either.
  • Mr Vinay seems to be growing these fruits on an organic farm and there seems to be nothing that signifies that. If he could have a signboard saying these are organic and add nutritional values to each fruit, things would get better without adding much to his cost.
Well, having tried this out there were a few constraints. He prefers exporting his fruits rather than selling them in and around. People seem to have a bad notion of an organic fruit, he says. He'd rather sell his fruits without claiming it to be organic. Anyway people like it and its good for the business and the environment, so let it go on and let people realize on their own.
