Choti Dukaan, Software Engineer Se Zyada Kamai

Sach bolun?
India me sabse zyada underrated cheez hai choti dukaan.
Log sochte hain IT job matlab success, aur dukaan matlab bas guzara. Reality kaafi alag hai. Aaj ke time me kai aise dukandaar hain jo mahine ke 1–2 lakh nahi, balki usse bhi zyada kama rahe hain. Aur wo bhi bina coding, bina corporate pressure, bina night shifts.
Soch badalne ki zarurat hai
Jab bhi koi bole “software engineer”, log turant respect dene lagte hain. AC office, laptop, coffee, LinkedIn post.
Aur jab koi bole “kirana store” ya “mobile shop”, log samajhte hain bas choti si earning hogi.
Par ground reality?
Bahut si choti dukaan wali earning average software engineer se zyada hoti hai.
Bas difference ye hai ki dukandaar Instagram pe post nahi daalte, isliye dikhte nahi.
Choti dukaan ka asli game
Choti dukaan ka game simple hota hai, par powerful.
Roz ka cash flow
Local customers
Repeat buyers
Aur zero resume, zero interview
Ek achhi location wali dukaan agar sahi cheez bech rahi hai, to daily ₹8,000–₹15,000 ka sale normal baat hai. Margin 10–20% bhi ho, to mahine ka hisaab khud samajh lo.
Aur haan, ye sirf kirana ki baat nahi hai.
Kaunsi choti dukaan zyada kama rahi hai
Har dukaan nahi chalti, par kuch categories gold mine hain.
Mobile repair aur accessories shop
Chai aur snacks ki dukaan (college ya office ke paas)
Medical store
Hardware aur electrical shop
Fast food ya momos stall
Stationery aur print shop
Inme se kaafi log mahine ke 1 lakh se upar nikal rahe hain. Koi koi to software engineer ke CTC pe hans deta hai.
Software engineer vs dukandaar
Software engineer ki life dikhti achhi hai, par pressure bhi real hai. Targets, deadlines, layoffs ka dar, manager ka mood.
Dukandaar ka pressure alag hota hai, par control uske haath me hota hai. Aaj zyada kaam karna hai to kare, aaj band rakhni hai to rakhe. Kamai directly uske effort se judi hoti hai.
Aur sabse badi baat, dukandaar ka paisa cash me rotate hota hai, salary ka wait nahi.
Log dukaan se darte kyun hain
Sach bataun?
Log dukaan se nahi, log kya kahenge se darte hain.
Degree ke baad dukaan kholna ego ko hurt karta hai. Par ego se pet nahi bharta. Jo samajh gaya, wahi aage nikal gaya.
Aaj ka zamana alag hai. Digital payments, Google Maps, WhatsApp orders, home delivery. Choti dukaan bhi smart ho chuki hai.
Skill nahi, samajh chahiye
Dukaan chalane ke liye PhD nahi chahiye.
Customer se baat karna aana chahiye.
Price samajhni chahiye.
Aur thoda patience.
Bas.
Jo ye teen cheez samajh gaya, wo IT degree ke bina bhi kama raha hai.
Last baat, seedhi si
Ye bolna galat hai ki har software engineer kam kamata hai. Kaafi log achha bhi kama rahe hain.
Par ye maanna bhi galat hai ki choti dukaan matlab low income.
Aaj ke India me choti dukaan respectable aur profitable dono ho sakti hai.
Bas nazariya badalne ki zarurat hai.
