Jain Community Event Management and Networking Service
The Opportunity
The Jain Ekta Maha Abhiyan brought together thousands of community leaders, businessmen, and dignitaries across all sects, but there is no dedicated service to help organize, manage, and follow up on these large inter-community gatherings. Jain organisations need professional event planners who understand community dynamics, can coordinate across multiple sects, and create lasting business and social networks from these gatherings.
Market Size
₹180 Cr addressable market annually — Jain community events, conferences, and networking gatherings across India
Business Model
Offer end-to-end event management services specifically for Jain community organisations — including planning, logistics, speaker coordination, post-event networking platforms, and sponsorship management. Charge 10-15% of event budget or flat fees per event.
Event management fees (₹3-10 lakh per major event), sponsorship coordination commission (5-10% of sponsor value), follow-up networking platform subscription (₹500-1000 per member per year for post-event business matching), training workshops for community organisers (₹50,000-1 lakh per workshop)
Your 30-Day Action Plan
Contact 5-10 major Jain organisations (temples, trusts, business associations) and interview them about their event management pain points and budget. Document their specific needs.
Create a simple portfolio: design 2-3 event layouts and post-event follow-up plans based on the Jain Ekta Maha Abhiyan model. Build a lightweight website and LinkedIn profile showcasing these samples.
Pitch to 3 mid-sized Jain organisations offering to manage their next quarterly or annual event at 20% discount in exchange for testimonials and case study rights. Close at least one contract.
Execute the first event flawlessly. Document feedback, photos, and attendance numbers. Use this as proof-of-concept to approach larger community organisations and seek referrals.
Compliance & Regulatory Angle
GST registration (service provider, 18% GST applicable). No specific license required for event management. Consider FSSAI registration only if you handle catering directly. Standard vendor agreements and liability insurance recommended.
