Free resources are preferred over skilled and certified careers, especially when it comes to women in India; though skilled trades for women in India, is a much better practice for a long-term and prosperous return on the initial investments made upon your career-building.



Free is always at our fingertip preferences, although on the inside, we all know that paid services work better most of the time. Why risk your career when you can achieve more by investing a BIT more!?


Freelancing and home-based start-ups are one of the best trade opportunities for women, but in contrast, women in skilled trade always tend to make more than the free-earners. Indian women in trade sector have showed promising careers and examples in the history such as:-

-    Naina Lal Kidwai – HSBC Country Head
-    Chanda Kochhar– ICICI Bank CEO and managing director
-    Kiran MazumdarShaw – Biocon chairwoman and managing director
-    Swati Piramal – Piramal Healthcare strategic alliances and communications
-    Shikha Sharma – Axis Bank CEO and managing director
-    Mallika Srinivasan – Tractors and Farm Equipment CEO

All of the careers above need proper training, experience, and continuous will to grow and groom your own self! These are only the examples of the Indian women in trade sector, there are plenty more examples spread all around the world if you want to know how many women have made it to the spots men could dream of. There are dozens of more skilled trades for women in India; we just need to see them clearly!

Become an accountant and capture some financial accounts in the international brands around you! By capturing, we mean to get on the top seat of all the accountants in a particular company. Chartered Accountants and Audit Firms make big money; known very well by each and every industrial stakeholder. Get yourself a certificate from a certified institution and target big spots!

Choosing a business plan is easy, but only when there are feasible ones available upfront. If you be one of the business planning service provider, making a name for yourself would be the initial need.

Starting up with smaller firms and then moving on to the larger ones would be a positive approach. Experiencing the problems of smaller entrepreneurs, you will easily get general knowledge of what is what, and what is not!
A home clean, is a home seen!

Be a Cleaner or start a business and hire cleaners for yourself. Cleaning and/or sweeping business is one of the most common ones with every household having a cleaner come at their place for the purpose. Along with cleaning services you can also provide similar services alongside, such as a restaurant and hotel chauffeur service.
Got a bad computer? I

DEA! How about becoming a computer repairer! Technology has its grounds dug deep within the lives of everyone. Hence this post! Computers are just machines; which happen to be faulty at some point in time: maybe years, maybe even some days. Repairing is all that is needed every now and then, but needs a proper experience beforehand.

Since a computer is a complex piece of machinery, the repairs are also very complex at times; from just the motherboard battery issue, to the monitor chord going wild. Experiencing the strategies and learning how to go about problems is a minor requirement since anyone who is fond of devices will learn everything very quick. Be aware of the market as many customers ask for new equipment even though the old one could be repaired. That is when good profit is within your easy reach.

Animal breeding could be an option too and is a social cause as well. Taking care of living things is a cause everyone loves to see. Select the easier animals and birds at first and then grow with time. But this is also one of the skilled trades for women in India.

Since inappropriate animal breeding results in livestock losses, knowledge is utterly required before investing in them. And not only does the money go in vain, some lives will too.

You can circulate pamphlets around the area once setup with a feasible amount of species in your place (a shop is bound to attract more consumers though a house can do initially). You can even give a consultancy service so that your loyal customers can call you up if they experience any sudden issues with their pets.

Look around you. There is always a marriage or a party going on in the neighbourhoods. You could either setup an event planning service or act as a consultancy agent with all the required information about the cheapest and the most feasible catering services and other event arrangement services. Even good information is an asset! Ask a development consultancy firm about it.

Talking about a development consultancy firm, you could even join hands with some experienced entrepreneurs and setup a small consultancy organisation with a mini office and some minimal advertising.

These practices are just like, as a psychologist helps its patients grow out of depression, the development consultancy firms help large organisations come out on the top!

And the money transactions on this part are huge! But just like every stair has a first step, these organisations need to start small but keep thinking big to achieve it. There are many social franchise opportunities for the women in India which is much beneficial.

These are some innovative yet simplistic ideas to go about. Choose wisely and live nicely.
