Interesting Startup Ideas In The West That Should Be Launched In Goa

With the advent of the internet making its presence felt in every nook and corner of Goa, there couldn’t have been a better time than now and a better place than Goa to kick off an idea and give birth to something new. For this very sole reason, we at StartupGoa bring to you a bunch of startup ideas that will help you brainstorm just the right things that might work effectively well in the rapidly emerging and highly lucrative Goan market!

Interactive Menu For Restaurants

Goa is still catching up with the world, and while it looks like Goa is almost there, it’s still lagging in various places. One instance being the hospitality department. Taking cue from the westerners, a startup can always assist in placing a tried-and-tested management module for emerging or struggling restaurants to succeed in getting their business up and going. Sites like Menyou house the perfect thought pattern and process that might work wonders for the booming hospitality industry in Goa.

Community Marketplace For Accommodation

With the lucrative tourism industry persisting in Goa, it is always a hassle, or rather, a moment of confusion to pick the best or the most affordable place for accommodation. A community-based marketplace for house owners to lend or rent their place to prospective travellers. It will be hosted by the locals for the locals. Taking Airbnb for example; it plays host to globetrotters keen on taking solace at a reasonably priced place reviewed and recommended by others.

Cab Services

Cab service, or rather the lack of it has always proved to be a hinderance for tourists. A highly efficient cab service like Ola Cabs from Bombay might work wonders for a market like Goa where the rates vary as per the mood of the driver, and getting public transport after a specific time is practically impossible. A market that has been untouched by a proper management system, a cab service has all the potential to open a whole new market for investors to cash in.

Community Marketplace For Artists

Goa has always had an artistic flair around it, and it plays home to various artists from an assortment of backgrounds, right from sculptors to painters to craftsmen. As vibrant as it is, the art has never received a global recognition it truly deserves. For someone who dwells in the right network with the right people, a startup would be the perfect thing to give this art a platform to be showcased on, and allowing prospective buyers to buy what pleases their eyes. A site that pulls this off seamlessly is Etsy, a platform to bring together artists from all over the world.

Ticket Platform For Local Events

Goa has always been a go-to destination for party-goers and organizers alike, albeit this trend seem to have caught on rapidly since the past few years. With music festivals and biking events happening on a regular basis, apart from various venues opening doors to foreign investors and artists, Goa’s event platform has grown substantially. A website acting as a ticketing platform to assist these events would act as the sole destination for all your ticketing needs. A single site that caters to all the events taking place in Goa would be the perfect platform for an attendee to have a precise bird’s eye view as to what’s happening in the state of Goa in its totality.
