Hi Daniel,
I wish you well in your proposed new business venture! Being based in Mumbai is not an issue for your business as there clearly is an international airport and you are in a good spot for those that do not wish to fly to New Delhi or indeed to the tourist area of Goa and arrange a bike trip. I would advise any foreign person riding in India, no disrespect intended, to take their own riding kit. This way, their equipment is their responsibilty and you don't have to stock and indeed store lots of varying sizes and quality. I have been fortunate enough to not only ride but have lived and worked in India over the last few years and from experience, most visitors I've met prefer the old style 350's for trips. Once fitted with a luggage rack , a pair of leather panniers and some tools they're good to go. Get a good website setup and advertise your services. Inder Motors (Karol Bagh New Delhi) has an excellent well earned and deserved reputation and if you use them as an example you won't go far wrong!
Wishing you well for the future,
Simon
