Step 1: Decide your model — software, white label or franchise
| Model | Best for | Your brand? |
|---|---|---|
| Buy DMIT software | Counsellors and centres who want control and low running cost | Yes — your logo on reports |
| White label DMIT software | Entrepreneurs building their own DMIT brand and network | Fully yours, with software selling and franchise rights |
| DMIT franchise | Beginners who want an established brand, leads and backend support | Brain Shaper brand |

Step 2: Get trained as a DMIT counsellor
Counselling is the heart of a DMIT business — it's what clients remember and recommend. Good training covers dermatoglyphics, brain functioning, psychology concepts, child psychology, stream selection and career guidance. Brain Shaper offers DMIT counselling training with certification.
Step 3: Set up your equipment
- A laptop or desktop to run the DMIT software
- A fingerprint scanner — or our DMIT mobile app, which works with a compatible scanner or your phone camera
- A quiet, comfortable room for counselling sessions
- A printer if you hand over printed reports
More in our DMIT fingerprint scanner guide.
Step 4: Choose your reports and set your price
Offer two or three report levels — for example a basic report and a detailed report with parent counselling — so families can choose. DMIT test fees in India commonly range from about ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 (see our DMIT test cost guide). Use the earnings calculator to estimate your monthly revenue.
Step 5: Register your business and brand
- Choose a business name and register your firm as appropriate
- Get your logo onto the software and reports
- Create a Google Business Profile so parents can find you on Maps
- Set up a simple website and a WhatsApp Business number
Step 6: Find your first clients
- Start with your network — friends, relatives and parents' groups.
- Hold free awareness talks at schools, societies and coaching centres.
- Partner with schools and tutors for group assessments.
- Collect Google reviews from every satisfied family.
- Share useful content on WhatsApp, Instagram and YouTube.
Step 7: Grow — schools, camps and your own network
Once you have a steady flow of clients, add school camps (where a mobile app makes collection easy), counsellors and branches. With our AI DMIT software you can create unlimited users, manage credits across your team and even sell franchises under your own brand.
How much does it cost to start a DMIT business?
Your main costs are the DMIT software (Brain Shaper packages start from ₹9,999), a fingerprint scanner, training and basic marketing. A franchise or white-label package costs more but includes more — such as company leads or resale rights. See DMIT software price for what affects the cost.
A realistic note: a DMIT business rewards commitment. People who treat it as a proper business — with good counselling and regular outreach — do far better than those who try it occasionally on the side.
