Acid Attack Victim Rehabilitation and Job Placement Services
The Opportunity
The Supreme Court has mandated that acid attack victims receive preference in government jobs, but there is no organized service infrastructure to help survivors navigate job placement, skill training, and legal entitlements. With acid attack trials pending across India since 2009+, thousands of survivors lack coordinated rehabilitation support to leverage government job preferences.
Market Size
₹150-250 crore annually (estimated 1,000+ acid attack cases annually in India; rehabilitation + job placement services at ₹2-5 lakh per survivor over 2-3 years; government job quota incentives add ₹50+ crore in indirect demand)
Business Model
B2B2C service: Partner with state governments, NGOs, and victim support organizations to provide end-to-end rehabilitation consulting—legal entitlements guidance, skill certification courses, job placement matching with government employers, and psychological counseling coordination. Revenue from government contracts + NGO partnerships + per-placement fees from employers.
1) Government contract fees (₹5-15 lakh per state annually for 2-3 states) = ₹15-45 lakh/year; 2) Per-survivor service fee (₹1.5-3 lakh per survivor × 50-100 survivors/year) = ₹75-300 lakh/year; 3) Employer placement commissions (10-15% of first-year salary, avg ₹4-6 lakh per placement) = ₹40-90 lakh/year from 10-15 placements
