    4.1. Product Description

    The product, an innovation of electronic technology, could be implanted in the

    eye behind the retina at the back of the eye ball. An ultra-thin wire would

    transmit light and images to the brain 's vision system and strengthen the

    damaged optical nerve. The product will be named The Magic Eye as it is a

    miracle for the people who have lost their eyesight in an accident. The

    consumer of The Magic Eye will be advised to wear special spectacles which

    would contain battery-powered very tiny camera, and also a transmitter,

    which would work in sending images to the chip. The chip, enclosed in

    titanium casing,making it water-proof and corrosion-proof, and will hopefully

    last for at least 10 years inside the eye . Crores of Indians suffer from

    blindness caused by age related macular generation. This eye could helppeople who are suffering from retinitis pigmentos a (a genetic condition),

    but could not be used for patients of glaucoma. The product would weigh

    about 700 grams. The product might not give perfect vision to the

    customers but will surely give them a sense of their surroundings.

    The product Magic Eye, would be of use for especially those people who

    have lost their eyesight and not for those who were blind by birth . The

    product would fulfill their need of seeing but it will be done through brains.

    4.2. Competitive Comparison

    - Since this is a fi rst of its kind product in India, there would no competition in

    the market. Hence, the company would benefit as a monopoly player.

    - Though the product would be expensive and would be priced at Rs 80,000,

    the advantage would be that it would be a rust free and reaction free implant

    and so people would go out of their way to buy it. The A category patients

    would be the first ones to buy the product as money will be little or no

    constraint to them.

    - Schemes and discounts would be given on bulk purchase by distributors

    and may be passed on to the buyer depending upon the volume and

    frequency of purchase.

  • 8/8/2019 Magic Eye Final

    13/32

    Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

    13 | P a g e

    - Since the product would be placed with leading surgical equipments

    distributors and a robust communic ation of the product would be made at the

    opportune segments, the customer would have ease of availability.

    4.3. Sales Literature

    Brochures of our company would be made which would have a brief account

    of our new product 'The Magic Eye'. These brochures would be majorly seen

    at ophthalmologists clinic, chemist shops and shops related to e ye

    accessories, magazines etc. A large portion of our budget would be spent on

    hoardings in metropolitan cities so that consumer i s made aware of the

    product. A huge amount would also be spent on Television

    advertisements so that mass number of people could be targeted at the same

    time.

    4.4. Sourcing

    The Magic Eye will import most of the machinery and raw materials. Two

    second hand machineries would be purchased from Bolton Company

    situated in U.K for around Rs.80lacs. First machine will be of Rs.30lacs,

    which will be used for making lens for the eye. And the second machine

    worth Rs.50lacs will be used for making the structure of eye. A loan of Rs.

    80lacs would be taken from two of the local banks, HSBC and HDFC, and

    both the machineries would be kept as mortgage in the banks. Other

    equipments like camera and transmitter would also be purchased from Bolton

    for Rs. 8000 and Rs7000. For the plastic, for making lens and outer body of

    the product, a tie up would be done with the Bausch and Lomb company

    which would cost around Rs 6000 and 5000 per piece and finally the ch ip

    which is made of titanium would be manufactured in our own company for

    Rs. 30,000 per piece. Proper relations would be made with the suppliers bypaying them the amount at the right time.

    4.5. Technology

    Biology and engineering plays a major innovative role in creating a prosthetic

    treatment for blindness. A team of neurologist, retinal surgeons and

  • 8/8/2019 Magic Eye Final

    14/32

    Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

    14 | P a g e

    physiologists, retinal anatomist, cortical physiologists, computational

    neuroscientist, higher cortical plasticity researchers, microfabrication experts,

    materials scientists, microcircuit designers, software engineers and

    metallurgist work for a Boston company. This team of experts has come up

    with a wireless micro-electronic device which is flexibly ultra -thin. It contains

    30,000 transistor stimulator chip which is custom -designed. This device shall

    control delivery of electrical pulses to the retina. The advantages of this

    device are, firstly, it requires a minimal -invasive surgical method for

    implantation. Second, it includes ultra-low power design along with a

    geometric design which minimizes the area of hardware that is to be fit into

    the surgical eye.

    The one goal with which we will move ahead would be to develop animplantable micro-electronic prosthesis for patients who are blind due to

    retinal problems. We have identified a few diseases and will do our best to

    treat them which include 'age-related macular degeneration'' and 'retinitis

    pigmentosa''. These are few of the leading causes of blindness in today's

    industrialized world. Even with these dilemmas, ample number of nerve cells

    remains healthy. These are those cells which connect the eye to the brain.

    These healthy cells help in restoring visual rehabilitation with the help of a

    prosthesis which will connect to those cells which have visual information andcarry the electrical stimulation to the brain.

    This technology of visual prosthesis must get two inputs. Firs t is the

    information about the visual signal and second the power for electronics to

    work and excite the retina to create corresponding visual image. It is not

    practical in long-term implanation to have wires entering the body or batteries

    which have a limited lifetime. Therefore it is necessary to direct the visual

    signals along with power without wires to the implant. For this wireless

    method of communication in our design, we shall use radiofrequency (RF)

    transmission.

    5.1. Market Segmentation

    Marketers could approach the market through market segmentation. It is t he

    process of splitting targeting customers into different segments. The

    segments that are relevant here are demographic, geographic.

    1. Income- The cost of the product will be Rs.80,000 which will be higher

    than the usual and therefore the target customer people will be higher

    income group as they can afford it.

    2. City- Our product, the magic eye would be initially available in Delhi and

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) as they are metropolitan cities and would fulfill d

    target customer category,

    3. Country- This product will be launched in India, as the population of

    blinds are 3.6 crore which is higher than any other country and therefore

    the need of this product is more in India.

    5.2.2. Market Trends

    We will distinguish ourselves by marketing the product as the product is new,

    we will have the first mover advantage so the trends could be set as the way

    we want to. Initially the Magic Eye will be only for high income group as the

    price is kept high and with no age restrictions. The population of accidental

    blind people is most in India and is growing day by day because of the

    frequency of accidents increasing. Earlier no such products were developed

    here and as technology is increasing at high pace such innovations are

    expected. So now the country or rather the world is technology driven and

    such innovations are ch anging trends of the society.

    5.2.3. Market Growth

    The Opthal Solution Pvt. L td. has a total population of 36,000,000 people. Out

    of which 12% and above, people are rich that is 4,320,000. If we target only

    .02% also, we will target 864 units in a year. We are expecting a growth of

    40% increase in sales in the coming 2 years. India needs approximately of 2.5

    lacs donated eyes every year from which all the eye banks could only collect

    25,000 eyes and out of which 30% cant be used. Even the eye surgeries

    in India have increased from 3% in 1994 to 42% in 2002.

    5.3. Industry Analysis

    Medical equipments has been a growing industry in past and is still growing

    because of technological innovations. The medical industry is constantly

    growing at 23.3% every year which increases the growth of the companies. In

    the case of Magic Eye, there will be no such competitors in this industry in

    India, therefore the market share will be captured by Magic Eye alone which

    in turn increases the growth of the industry.

    5.3.1. Industry Participants

    There will be no participants in the manufacturing equipment for surgical

    industry in India which will produce the same product as The Opthal Solutions

    Pvt.Ltd. does. Therefore the company will have its monopoly.

  • 8/8/2019 Magic Eye Final

    Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

    19 | P a g e

    5.3.2. Distribution Patterns

    In the case of our company, there will be one manufacturing unit in Pithampur

    and two distributing units which will be in Delhi and Mumbai. It will be a form

    of indirect marketing in which the consumers will buy the product from the

    distributors. The transportation from the manufacturing unit to the distributors

    will be given to Gati.

    5.3.3. Competition and Buying Patterns

    As the competition is less in this market therefore the customers will be left

    with less alternatives. Looking at the disadvantages and advantages of the

    eye transplant, customers would prefer Magic Eye instead of transplant.

    Some of the features of our product 'The Magic Eye' will be:-Firstly, it will beless expensive and will take less time as compared to the eye transplants.

    Also the structure of eye will be made in such a way that it will suit all kinds of

    human bodies.

    5.3.4. Main Competitors

    As such there will be no other competitor available in the market which will

    produce the same kind of product. But still there are eye transplants being

    done by the opthal surgeons, which will be the only competitor for the Magic

    Eye. The advantage of the eye transplant is that it is perfectly attached in the

    eye hole and it looks as if it is the natural eye. An d the disadvantages include

    time constraint, higher cost, and most importantly the eye fixed may not suit

    the body. So there will be no threat to our product as the advantages of our

    product will be more as compared to the transplant .

    6. Strategy and Implementation Summary

    The company's strategy would be to target people who have higher standard

    of living and could pay high for such medical issues. These target audiences

    will be approached through brouchers, print media and telecommunication.

    strengths and weaknesses of the company. It also examines the

    opportunities which are there for the company and also the threats to the

    company.

    6.1.1. Strengths

    The strength's of the Magic Eye is as follows -

    y First Mover Advantage : This product would be first of its kind

    in India and would be a unique idea, therefore it is one of the

    biggest strength of the Magic eye.

    standing in front of you but will give people a sense of their

    as follows:-

    6.1

    .4. Threats

    The only threat to the company will be that seeing this product and

    technology, many people would try and come in the market with

    different technology and compromise with the price and quality.

    6.2. Competitive Edge

    The Magic Eye competitive edge comes from the advantage of being a first

    mover and also having relationships with Bolton company. Untill now no other

    company has innovated such a product in India and the only other alternative

    available is the eye transplant which is costlier and takes time. Moreover the

    quality, features, its relationships with other distributors and transp orters and

    latest technology will also be the reasons which will give the competitive edge

    to the Magic Eye.

    6.3. Marketing Strategy

    The marketing strategy of our company will target its customers by the use

    of print media through brochures and technical magazines. Brochures can

    middle income and lower income group wont be able to afford it. Therefore

    we will make it sure that people who can afford it, will know about its

    existence and use it.

    6.3.1. Pricing Strategy

    As the product is a technical innovation and the company believes in

    giving the best quality the price will be a little high, about Rs. 80,000.

    There will be no other competitors present in the market therefore the

    price can be kept the way company wants. Also according to

    researches done by researchers it has been proved that people do

    connect price with quality, and higher the price; higher is the quality.
