Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Laying the Foundation

Varun sat in his small Mumbai apartment, his laptop screen glowing in the dim light of the room. His fingers drummed on the wooden desk as he stared at the Business Blueprint section of his Technology & Business System.

For the first time since receiving the system, he wasn't just thinking about quick profits—he was planning long-term wealth.

The system had already shown him future billion-dollar businesses.

E-commerce giants like Flipkart.The digital payment revolution with Paytm.Food delivery companies that would soon dominate India.

But before he could enter the business world, he needed capital.

Even with ₹14,25,000 in his trading account, it wouldn't be enough to start something huge.

"First, I need to increase my funds. Once I have a strong capital, I can start my business."

He took a deep breath and activated Stock Market Prediction.

SEARCHING…

A moment later, a new company name appeared.

Havells India Ltd.

Current Price: ₹450 per share

Projected Price in 15 Days: ₹920 per share

Varun's eyes flickered with excitement.

Havells.

An electrical equipment company that, in a few years, would dominate the Indian market.

And now, the system was showing that a major deal announcement would push the stock price to nearly double in just two weeks.

"Perfect. I can almost double my money in 15 days."

Without hesitation, he logged into his trading account and placed the investment.

Varun exhaled deeply. It was done.

Now, he just had to wait for two weeks.

Finding the Perfect Location

While waiting for his investment to grow, Varun knew he couldn't sit idle.

The next step was to find a location for his business.

Mumbai was full of opportunities, but it was also a cutthroat city. If he wanted to start something big, he needed a prime location.

He stepped out of his apartment, walking through the bustling streets of Andheri. The city was alive—shops lined the streets, tea vendors served office workers, and buildings stood tall in every direction.

"This city never sleeps. This is where businesses thrive."

He took a train to Lower Parel, one of Mumbai's biggest commercial hubs.

As he walked through the streets, he observed:

Office spaces filled with startups and IT companies.Luxury retail stores catering to high-income customers.Warehouses and logistics hubs supporting e-commerce businesses.

Varun knew he had to choose his business location wisely.

After hours of scouting, he identified three potential locations:

1️⃣ Andheri East – Close to both residential and commercial areas, making it ideal for a retail business or a service-based startup.

2️⃣ Lower Parel – Expensive, but the best spot for technology startups and high-end businesses.

3️⃣ Navi Mumbai – More affordable but developing fast, great for logistics or an online business headquarters.

"Once my investment pays off, I'll finalize a location."

Keeping the Illusion

Back at his apartment, he sat on his bed, scrolling through messages on his phone.

His father had called twice.

His mother had sent a simple message: "Did you find a job yet?"

Even his old friends from Hyderabad were checking in.

Varun smirked.

"They still think I'm struggling to find a job."

He quickly replied to his mother.

📩 "Still looking. Will let you know soon."

It was easier to let them believe the lie.
