The Opportunity

During World Cup seasons, Indian neighborhoods and small towns lack organized, licensed venues for group viewing. Bars and restaurants either don't have proper setup or overcharge. There's an unglamorous gap between demand for community viewing spaces and supply of legitimate, well-managed venues with basic amenities.

Market Size₹200 Cr addressable market — based on 50,000+ small towns in India × 10-20 organized viewing venues per town × ₹40,000 seasonal revenue per venue
Why NowTemporary food vendor license (₹5-10K, 6-week validity), shop rental agreement, basic fire safety compliance, GST registration if turnover crosses ₹20L (unlikely in season 1).
