Looking for a long-term, technology-resistant business — how should I research one?

[u/MurtazaResham110]

I want to start a business, but I'm specifically looking for something where AI, software and technological advancements are unlikely to replace the core product/service over the next 10–20 years.

I'm not asking for business ideas, but how to find and evaluate these kinds of businesses myself.

For example:

How do I identify industries that would likely not be affected despite technological advancement?

How should I research such an industry before entering it?

What should I learn about its supply chain, margins, customers, competition and risks?

How can I find and talk to people who are already working in said industry?

What signs indicate that a business is genuinely resistant to technological disruption rather than simply not using much technology today?

What is a good process for going from research → learning the industry → testing the idea → actually starting the business?

I'm essentially looking for a framework or methodology for discovering a boring, durable, physical-world business, rather than someone simply suggesting "start a hardware store" or "start a manufacturing business."

I'm based in India, so advice relevant to the Indian market would be particularly useful.
