Marketability, Plans and Competition

● As a startup we are short of funds and skilled man power.

● We are adapting low cost means of marketing using students and open source software.

● We have started offering enggineering students these some of these designs as part of their summer projects.

● Idea is to get some revenue from sales of training kits and these students will become our support team later for small cities.

Working with Students

● This is an innovative idea.● India has number of colleges and huge number of

students in enggineering● They are required to do a minor and major project in

seventh/eight semester.● We propose to contact them (as well as to college

faculty) and encourage them to work on our ideas.● To start interacting with us students / faculty can Join

our facebook page at facebook.com/open.embedded

Why students may choose us

● These ideas will be new and using latest technology.

● Students will like to gain real life experience and excitement of seeing their project in real use.

● Vinay Chaddha has already published seven construction articles based on his commercial projects. EFY may publish some of these projects.

Why students may not choose us

● This require efforts.● There are lot of shops (online as well as offline)

offering ready to use projects which gets students good marks but does not require them to work.

● We will not be able to match these shops's offers of ready made designs.

Financial Viability

● India has 7.2% (over 9 crore) persons who are 60+

● Income and disposable income is rising.● Life expectancy is increasing every year, and

need for devices to make life comfortable will be more.

● Our existing customers have committed their support for marketing and distributions.

Risk

● Technical – Our past designs for home to industrial automation worked. This product is next level of technology on which we have worked and mastered in last 2 years.

● Marketing / Management – At GVC we lack the skills in house. However Amity Incubator management, faculty from Amity Business School, IMI and Goenka World Institute support us regularly. We are in process of hiring team under their guidance.
