Here’s How a Thane teacher is turning her Incense Stick Passion into Profit with Mahila Money Business Loan

A teacher at a junior college, Mayuri Patil has been making her students tech-savvy since 2014. This college caters to junior blind kids, which makes Mayuri’s job challenging. She uses creative techniques to understand the kids and make them technologically able. The satisfaction of teaching kids plus learning new things is a power-packed package for Mayuri.

On the other hand, the salary from this job is not enough to cater for a family of five, including Mayuri. “Although everyone contributes equally in my family, the savings are not enough for the rainy days ahead. My monthly income could run my daily expenses but did not result in enough savings. So, in case of emergencies, we always had to manage accordingly. I have always wanted to run a business and maximise profits for my family. That was the seed my business needed,” informs Mayuri.

Apply for a business loan of up to 25 lakhs.

After deciding to run a business, Mayuri fixed her business model: She would buy incense sticks from wholesalers and sell them in her locality. Mayuri says, “We spiritual people begin and end our days with prayers. Incense sticks, playing a major role in our prayers, seemed always in demand. Thus, the product seemed a good fit.”

The savings from Mayuri’s job were not enough to start the business. Undeterred, Mayuri was determined to give her business a head start. She would then take over and run the business with the profits.

“Getting a business loan from Mahila Money was another tick my decisive mind made. I applied for a business loan of INR 50K by submitting all the documents on the Mahila Money app. The day it got approved, I bought my first batch of incense sticks and started my business with my prayer,” says Mayuri. Mayuri’s incense sticks, her faith in her business and her business loan started spilling out the magic in no time.

Reflecting on her journey, Mayuri shares, “The business loan from Mahila Money was a game-changer for me. It allowed me to start my business, pay my EMI’s regularly, and see my business grow. I’m now looking forward to the next step for my business, a top-up loan to expand it further.”
