Cricket Heritage Museum & Memorabilia Curation Service
The Opportunity
Maharashtra and India have enormous cricket legacy assets (player homes, stadiums, old scorecards, match photos, trophies) scattered across private collections and institutions with no professional cataloguing, preservation, or display infrastructure. Government bodies, schools, and cricket clubs want to showcase this heritage but lack the unglamorous work of authentication, archival, and physical display setup.
Market Size
₹50 Cr addressable market — estimated across 500+ schools with cricket programs, 100+ cricket clubs, 50+ municipal sports facilities, and 200+ private collectors in Maharashtra wanting heritage display/preservation services
Business Model
Door-to-door heritage cataloguing service: charge schools/clubs ₹2,000–5,000 per collection audit (photograph, document, organize memorabilia), then ₹500–1,000/month for ongoing preservation advisory and display setup. Recurring revenue from seasonal museum setup for local cricket tournaments.
Initial cataloguing audit: ₹2,500 × 20 clients/month = ₹50,000/monthMonthly preservation retainers: ₹750 × 15 active clients = ₹11,250/monthEvent-based display setup (school tournaments, jubilee matches): ₹3,000–8,000 per event × 4/month = ₹20,000/month
