Gautam's work is the only source of income for his family. He was working as a cook in Bangalore before he lost his job due to the pandemic. Now, Gautam dreams of starting a small business.

As a business owner, Gautam will have an independent source of income that doesn't require him to travel far from his family. He has drawn up a proposal for a utilities shop that mainly sells utensils.

Once his shop starts making a profit, Gautam has pledged to return the initial start-up amount so that someone else can finance their dream. Orissa-Connect, an NGO in Orissa, will support him while he gets his business to take off.
