“It was a breeze setting up our website thanks to the very helpful and enthusiastic team at The Small Business Project. They have been very proactive with updates and alterations when required and been an integral part of our journey into online sales. They have also assisted us with marketing, WhatsApp integration, and chatbot set up.”

“They are an organised group who have put their heart and soul into what they do. I can proudly say that I have personally had a steep increase in revenue ever since I signed up with them. TSBP gets full credit for the clientele I have built in the last 2 years. The team puts in a lot of effort for every single one of our events and gets us maximum traction on social media, so we get maximum walk-ins. They are easy to communicate with and understand our needs in no time, and I trust them completely with paid promotions: their targeting is wise, aiming for the right audience rather than the masses.”

Nitin Suresh
Owner & Partner · Hotel Sri Lakshmi and Hotel Coonoor Ramachandra
“Undoubtedly the most efficient and dedicated team I've worked with. Always ready to help deliver even the smallest of my needs in terms of website and social media marketing, which in turn helps me get my place booked even during lean days.”

Indi Khanna
Managing Director · Tea n Teas
“A hands-on, proactive team of youngsters willing to think out of the box and go the distance. Have enjoyed working with Rachit and his team. It's been a pleasure working with The Small Business Project. A young team that has, very efficiently and effectively, handled the design of our revamped website. I found them to be a very responsive lot of professionals. Highly recommended.”
Co-founder Rachit grew up in these hills. Coonoor and Ooty businesses get the same caliber of strategy and technology TSBP has used to scale brands across India and globally, backed by real hometown trust.
Why businesses in Coonoor and Ooty work with us
Here's what actually gets us hired, and kept on:
Reason 1 · 9+ YRS
The local knowledge
We know the market, the businesses, the people. Nine-plus years of work across different regions funnels straight into every campaign we run for Coonoor.
Reason 2 · TECH STACK
The big-city stack
Access to the new-age marketing, automation, and tech stack that's usually reserved for digital-forward businesses in bigger cities.
Reason 3 · BST PACE
On Bangalore Standard Time
We run on what the team calls "BST" — Bangalore Standard Time. City pace, not hill-station pace: briefs come in, work ships, and turnarounds are measured in days, not weeks.
Reason 4 · HOME GROUND
The home ground
Coonoor and Ooty are literally co-founder Rachit's backyard. He grew up here, so the market was never a guess, it's home ground.
Sound familiar?
Some of the questions Coonoor and Ooty business owners bring us first — and ones we've already helped businesses here work through.
“My homestay fills up in season and sits empty the rest of the year. How do I even out the calendar?”
“We rely more on local customers than tourists. Can marketing be built around that instead of generic tourism ads?”
“Most of our bookings come through OTAs. How do I get more people booking direct?”
“We're well known locally but barely show up online. Where do we even start?”
“We want to sell retail product beyond just hosting visitors. Is that something you handle?”
“Admissions season is make-or-break for us. Can marketing actually move that needle?”
“We tried running ads ourselves and it didn't work. What would you do differently?”
If any of these are on your mind, chances are we've already answered them for another business like yours — and we're happy to help you too.
Coonoor and Ooty, answered
Yes. The Small Business Project works with businesses across Coonoor, including hospitality, tea estates, real estate, and local food and retail brands, through a fully remote model.
