01 / FIND AN OPPORTUNITY

Find an idea
worth looking into.

Look at customer problems, local products and overlooked industries. Then ask whether there is a real buyer—not just an interesting story.

You’ve seen the idea.
Now check the business.

A Reel can introduce an opportunity. Before spending on stock, equipment or a launch, you need to understand who will buy, what it costs and what could go wrong.

01

Who would pay for this?

Who pays? What do they buy now? Look for evidence beyond views and viral headlines.

↗
02

Could the numbers work?

Check costs, competition, supply and regulation. Record the source, not just the statistic.

↗
03

What should you do next?

GO: design a small test. INVESTIGATE: close the evidence gaps. PARK: document why and move on.

↗
For beginners and aspiring founders researching Kerala and India opportunities. Not a list of guaranteed businesses, a done-for-you business plan or a promise of income.

The 30-Minute
Idea Check.

A one-page quick scorecard and a five-step method to help you give one business idea a first check.

  • Write down who might buy and what problem you solve.
  • Separate what you know from what you still need to verify.
  • Choose the next question or small test worth doing.

A starting exercise—not proof that a business will succeed or a replacement for detailed research.

FROM ZAYAN / KERALA BUSINESS BREAKDOWNS

“I share business opportunities.
Here, I want to teach you how to research them.”

I’m Zayan, the creator behind Kerala Business Breakdowns. I explore overlooked products, industries and opportunities—and the evidence behind them.

Research First takes that curiosity further: where to look, which numbers to question and what to check before spending money. The goal is to help you research your own idea—not simply copy one from a Reel.

CLEAR ANSWERS

What you might
be wondering.

01What is Research First?+

A practical way to learn how to find and evaluate business opportunities, with Kerala and India examples. You do the research; the tools show you what to check and help organise what you find.

02What exactly do I get for free?+

Every verified signup receives the 30-Minute Idea Check: a one-page quick scorecard and a five-step method. The first 50 qualifying, verified signups also receive the expanded Research Kit with sources, templates, prompts, a worked case study and research questions.

03How and when do I receive it?+

Once registration opens, enter your details and confirm your email using the link we send. The Idea Check is available after confirmation and is also sent by email. If you qualify for the first-50 programme, the expanded Kit is delivered within 24 hours of confirmation.

04Do I have to buy the course?+

No. Joining is free and no card details are required. The e-book and video course are separate upcoming products, not included in the free signup. Their prices and terms will be announced before you decide whether to buy.

05Can 30 minutes prove my business will work?+

No. This is a first check, not full business validation. It helps you identify what you know, what is missing and what to investigate next. You still need real sources, buyer conversations, cost checks and small tests. No income or business success is guaranteed.

06Who qualifies for the first-50 Kit?+

The first 50 eligible people aged 18 or older who complete the form and confirm their email. Order is by confirmation time, not form submission. One per person; duplicate and invalid registrations do not qualify. No purchase or feedback is required. Everyone else still receives the free Idea Check.

07Is this suitable for beginners?+

Yes. It is for people who have an idea but do not know how to research it, or who want a more organised way to compare opportunities. A search engine and a basic spreadsheet are enough to get started. It is not a ready-made business plan or personalised investment advice.
