Pampore, Oct 22: A 16-year-old boy from Pampore hamlet of South Kashmir’s Pulwama district has started his own online business of decorative wall frames, gift items and toys.
Israr Ahmad Mir a resident of Pampore Pulwama is currently a commerce student of 11th class at S P Higher Secondary School Srinagar.
Mir while talking with news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that rather than depending on the government jobs it is better to start one’s own start up.
Reflecting on his decision to take up such an arduous and challenging task Mir said though it was very difficult to start his own business with the help of Almighty Allah he took a leap of faith.
“My plan is to maintain business and develop my entrepreneur skills as I grow in years and experience. I believe it isn’t a self centered enterprise that I am plunging into. What I am working towards can give more people jobs and help my society fight unemployment,” Mir said.
Mir said that selling decorative wall frames, gift items and toy selling business is one among the simplest small business ideas to start out in Kashmir with.
“An honest performing business that involves decorative wall frames, gift items and toys makes a mean net income of 20 percent on its daily sales, and 80 percent of those who get into this business gets financial freedom at a young age,” Mir said.
Mir said that he started his business with the name “Mir Arts and Gallery Pampore ” just a month ago and so far it has shown very positive response and success.
“Degrees don’t matter to me. I wish to see change, to see people believe in themselves and the end number of things they are capable of,” he said.
Mir joined Kashmir Youth Web as a member and initiated various programmes on social causes and issues.
He also organizes events and programmes in collaboration with Irfaan Attari in the valley for the public cause with a motto to provide benefits to the people and make society free from numerous social evils like drug abuse.
Mir also has a passion for creating videos and online content. He started creating videos on Tiktok in 2018 and now has begun creating videos on Instagram—(KNO)
