About this app

Find out which business to start and exactly where to open it. HelloShop
scans any location in India and shows you real competition, demand,
footfall and population data before you sign a lease.

Most people pick a shop idea first and a location second. That is
backwards, and it is why so many small businesses close in the first two
years. HelloShop starts with the place — what is already there, who lives
around it, and what nobody is selling yet.


WHAT ONE SCAN TELLS YOU

Drop a pin anywhere on the map. In seconds you get every shop already
operating in that radius, grouped by category, so you can see at a glance
whether you would be opening the ninth salon on a street that already has
eight.

You also get the population living around that pin, its age breakdown, and
how densely people are packed in — real map and population data, not a
guess about the neighbourhood.

Then you get shop ideas ranked for that specific spot, each with a
plain-English reason for its score. A tea stall next to a college is a
different proposition from the same stall in a quiet residential lane, and
the ranking reflects that.


FIND THE EXACT SPOT, NOT JUST THE AREA

Once you have picked an idea, Best Spot Finder searches inside your scanned
area and returns up to five ranked locations, marked on the map. Each is
scored on nearby foot traffic, how far the closest competitor sits, and
whether the customers that business needs actually live or work within
walking distance.

THINKING ABOUT A FRANCHISE?

Franchisors protect a radius around every outlet. HelloShop sweeps 10 km
for existing outlets of the brand, draws each one's protected territory on
the map, and tells you plainly whether the ground is free — the answer that
decides everything else. It then ranks every brand in the catalog for your
location on whether the unit economics actually work there, how fast the
capital comes back, and how clear the territory is.

It will also tell you when a brand does not franchise to individuals in
India at all, which several of the most-searched names do not. Better to
learn that in ten seconds than after a month of emails.


KNOW WHO WOULD ACTUALLY WALK IN

Every shop idea shows its realistic customer groups for that exact location
— students, office workers, families, older residents, commuters, visitors
— ranked by how much of the trade each would account for. Every group shows
the real places nearby that produced it, so you can go and check for
yourself.

Area intelligence adds what businesses nearby actually charge, taken from
real price data, and how often businesses in that category shut down there.


PLAN THE MONEY BEFORE YOU COMMIT

See a setup cost range adjusted for how expensive that specific area is,
an expected monthly revenue and profit projection, a break-even estimate,
and a twelve-month cash flow view.

The projection models rent and staff as fixed monthly costs based on the
floor area your shop needs and local land values — not as a percentage of
sales. That means it can and does show you a loss when the numbers do not
work, which is the entire point of running one before you commit.

Browse the government schemes that fit your setup cost — Mudra, PMEGP,
Stand-Up India and state margin-money schemes — each listed with its real
eligibility criteria rather than just the loan amount, so you know what you
would actually qualify for before you walk into a bank.

Generate an AI floor plan sized for your space, then export a one-page
business plan you can share with a partner, a landlord, or a loan officer.

WHO THIS IS FOR

First-time shop owners who have savings and no idea what to do with them.
Retailers scouting a second or third outlet. Anyone weighing a franchise
location. Students and MBA candidates doing market research, feasibility
studies and project reports. Anyone with a business idea who wants to know
whether the numbers support it.

Download HelloShop and find out what your area actually needs.

What’s new

Franchise mode - check whether a brand's territory is free where you're standing, see existing outlets within 10km on the map, and get every brand ranked for your location by whether the economics actually work there.

Honest profit projections - rent and staff are now modelled as real fixed costs, so a weak location can show a loss instead of always looking profitable.

Plus typical trading hours, ranked franchise sites on the map, a faster Build tab and a more reliable startup.
