Need Identification
Theft is a major concern across genders and all age groups. There is a constant fear to
safeguard valuables for short and long periods of time. But this involves a lengthy tediousprocess of the current physical lock and key system which users have no choice but to follow
or if not followed, forego their valuables.
It is this problem that we are trying to solve where users can lock and unlock their valuables
through digital key mechanism by cutting down on the process time and ensuring a safer
security system through new technology applications to the current combination lock and key
system.
Introduction
MOBILOCS is an innovative security device that will empower users to safeguard their
valuables through their smart phones. There are two parts of Mobilocs one is physical lock
with digital receiver and second is smartphone which can communicate with the lock and
thereby giving user a one-click option to lock and unlock all the devices one owns.
Purpose and Benefits of the Device
The primary purpose of this device is to eliminate the tangible key system and theassociated problems like losing keys, misplacing, carrying and recalling keys.
It enables the user to lock and unlock valuables through a password code on their phonesso all the bags could be safeguarded through just one password.
It eliminates the physical handling of keys in lock and key system by replacing it withdigital mechanism.

Technology & Design
Existing Security (Physical Lock and Key) system:
A lock is a device that keeps valuables safe or restricts access to something that needs
protecting. A lock can hold things out or keep them in. Before the modern electronic age,
locks were entirely mechanical and based on intricate mechanisms made
from levers, wheels, gears, and cams. During the mid-20th century, locks became more
sophisticated and automated and started to incorporate electrical and electronic mechanisms.
But now information is valuable too and most of it is held inside hundreds of millions of
computers that are all linked together through the Internet. Modern locks that protect
computers are based on encryption which is a way of securing information using complexmathematical processes.
Anatomy of old system
The pin tumbler is commonly used in cylinder locks. In this type of lock, an outer casing has
a cylindrical hole in which the plug is housed. To open the lock, the plug must rotate.
Without a key in the lock, the driver pins (blue) are pushed downwards,
preventing the plug (yellow) from rotating.
When the correct key is inserted, the gaps between the key pins (red)
and driver pins (blue) align with the edge of the plug (yellow).
7/31/2019 NTADBM Mobilocs Group 7 Project Report
6/25
3 | P a g e
When the gaps between the pins get aligned with the shear line,
the plug (yellow) can rotate freely.
New System with Digital Key
At the heart of this idea we have a new technology called NFC or Near Field
Communication.
What is NFC?Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to
establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them
into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimetres. NFC standards cover
communications protocols and data exchange formats, and are based on existing radio-
frequency identification (RFID) standards.
NFC based Working Model
The NEXT generation of smart phones are all going to be NFC enabled. There are already
many Android phones available in the market that are NFC enabled. We have incorporated an
NFC reader along with an NFC tag inside our lock. There is a small micro-controller inside
the lock which will control the movement of the solenoid. The solenoid is our locking
mechanism.
The user will first have to download a Mobiloc app from the Android App-store (this app will
be free). Once the app has been downloaded the user will see a lock (image) icon on his home
screen. The user simply has to tap on this icon to open or close the lock. Since NFC has a
7/31/2019 NTADBM Mobilocs Group 7 Project Report
7/25

short range of 5 cm, the user will have to get the phone within range of the lock to change its
state.
What really happens is that the NFC enabled phone simply reads data from the NFC tag
inside the lock to identify the state of the lock. Once the state has been identified the user can
change the state of the lock by writing a new state in the NFC tag inside the lock. The NFC
reader inside the lock will read the data from the NFC tag and tell the micro-controller inside
the lock, about this change in state.
The micro-controller controls the locking mechanism i.e. the solenoid. The solenoid is
basically acting like an automatic latch. The latch closes in lock state and the latch opens in
open state. The NFC reader will tell the micro-controller about the state of the NFC tag and
the micro-controller will open or close the lock with the help of the solenoid.

Business Model
What is being sold and the associated assets needs?
In Mobiloc we will fall under the highlighted category of Manufacturer & Inventor.
Types of
Rights Sold?Types of Asset involved?
Financial Physical Intangible Human
Creator Entrepreneur Manufacturer Inventor Human creator
Distributor Financial trader Wholesaler/Retailer IP trader Human
distributor
Landlord Financial
landlord
Physical Landlord Intellectual
landlord
Contractor
Broker Financial broker Physical Broker IP broker HR broker
As the technology doesnt have a close precedent hence we can claim ourselves to fall in the
Creator category.
Secondly our assets are physical and intangible because we will be selling the products
through 2 channels:
1. Outsourced manufacturing and then selling in the market i.e. B2C selling of physicalgoods.
2. Giving licenses to top players in market (like VIP) so that they can design the lockaccording to their needs and earning royalties from them. This is B2B selling of
intangible IP.
Customer Insights
Mobiloc is an amalgamation of innovative thinking by group & focussed group discussions.
As part of focussed group discussions we interviewed 2 groups of people in a train while
travelling a return trip from Ahmedabad & Delhi.
7/31/2019 NTADBM Mobilocs Group 7 Project Report
11/25
8 | P a g e
Few of the key points that emerged from those consumer discussions are:
1. Travellers especially in train are quite wary of their luggage.2. Cautiousness about luggage protection is independent of the class you travel in the
train. Reason for this are:
a. Passengers board & de-board the train midway.b. Secondly no stringent measures are taken by Indian Railways in restricting the
unreserved persons from travelling in reserved bogies.
c. Lastly the master keys exist for almost all locks currently in the market.3. Carrying key is majority of times a pain as the only place it can be placed is in the
pocket post locking the luggage.
4. Passengers are willing to spend almost 100% premium amount if new solution canpromise them a peaceful sleep during their journeys.
Product Development on the basis of Customer Insights
On the basis of these insights and with a rough draft prior to focus group discussion we come
up with a product called Mobiloc. The technology and design aspects of the Mobiloc has
been discussed in earlier sections of the report which clearly demonstrates that our product is
directly catering to the pain point of customer i.e. freedom from carrying keys and
enhanced security of luggage.
Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning (STP)
Segmentation
We will be considering segmentation from 4 different perspectives:
1. Geography wise segmentation: Here we will be considering Tier 1 & 2 cities.2. Demographic wise segmentation: Here we will be considering Male, Female, Elderly
and Bachelors.
3. Socio Economic Wise: Here we will be considering SEC A & B classes4. Lifestyle Perspective: Here we will be considering aspirer & succeeder.
Targeting
We will be targeting following 2 categories
7/31/2019 NTADBM Mobilocs Group 7 Project Report
12/25
9 | P a g e
1. Under male section15-25, 25-40 & > 40 years of age group2. Under female section 20-30 years of age group only because this is the primary
womens section which travels by them. Elsewhere they are accompanied by family.
Positioning
It will be positioned as a unique solution offered to provide enhance security
to luggage users along with reducing the pain of carrying key which translates to enjoy full
journey.
Product, Pricing, Advertising & Promotion and Place
Product - The product Mobiloc would be sold in two forms
1. Standard Lock ModelThe lock with above-mentioned design will be manufacturedand marketed to consumers as the first digital lock. The manufacturing would be
outsourced to suitable manufacturer to avoid initial investment on manufacturing and to
incur only the variable cost per lock. The consumer of this lock would be NFC-enabled
smart phone users and would buy it for their laptop bags, backpacks, handbags, travel
bags etc.
2. Customized Lock Model This variant of Mobiloc would be manufactured incollaboration with premium suitcase/bag companies to allow some of their bag models
come pre-installed with this digital lock. The variant would be needed so that the lock
gels in with the suitcase/bag unobtrusively and doesnt affect the aesthetics of the bag. A
premium suitcase model in partnership with one of the top companies like VIP,
Samsonite or American Tourister will be launched and then depending upon the response,
further partnership with more suitcases/bags companies for more number of models to
incorporate Mobilocs would be formed.
PricingThe prices for the above said locks will be as below
1. Standard Lock - The average cost of a good physical key lock in the market is Rs. 40. Ascustomer s are willing to pay 100% mark-up on existing products hence we would be
pricing Mobiloc Standard version at Rs. 99/piece. We are expecting to earn a net margin
of Rs. 15 on every unit sold.
7/31/2019 NTADBM Mobilocs Group 7 Project Report
13/25
10 | P a g e
2. Customized Lock Model Here as we are giving them licenses hence we are concernedabout the royalty only. Given the fact that this model will increase the exposure of
Mobiloc (through pre-installation in well-known companies products) & would serve as
good marketing and promotional tool for Mobiloc hence we have kept the royalty as Rs.5
/installed piece sold.
3. The application to control the locks using smartphones would be made freely available iniPhone, android and Nokia app stores. This will reduce the switching costs for customers.
And in the coming years we will also try to get this application pre installed in some
Smartphone manufacturers.
Advertising:
E-marketing campaign with more focus on mobile ads would be launched to target smart
phone users. So the marketing channels used would be internet, email, mobile and
bag/suitcases stores.
Within the internet we will be taking help of primarily 2 platforms:
1. YouTube Channel Channel creation is not a costly affair. And this is significantlycheaper than creating & launching a TVC. Here we will include viral ad videos.
Moreover through this we will be able to channelize our effort to our target customer
only.
2. WebsiteIt is very necessary as any authenticated product in todays market is adjudgedby its internet presence. Hence making a website would be of prime importance. Here
products technical specifications, its price list, store availability; bug reporting centre etc.,
all will be there.
Promotion:
1. We will certainly keep away from discount based promotion.2. Instead we will come up with promotional schemes which can improve our product,
generate sales for us and off course create the buzz about our product.
3. To have such a scheme we will organize a temporary stall in malls, where people cancome & give suggestions, where all products can be displayed and product can be sold
also.

Yearly advertising & promotional expenditure is as given below:
Figure 1: Yearly Advertising & Promotion Expenditure (Details in Economic Logic Section)
Place:
The product will be made available at following places:
1. Book stores at Railway Stations & Airports because here most of our target population isexpected to turn up.
2. Tie up with luggage specific stores in common markets (like Lajpat Nagar), supermarkets (like Shoppers Stop) and hyper markets (like Reliance Mart)
Sales and Distribution Channel
Two kinds of sales channel will be used.
1. Direct Sales Channel This will consists of experienced sales persons & limited innumber. They will be primarily looking into making sales pitches to big clients for
convincing them to buy licenses for their products. Ramp up in this team will be very
slow as we have limited number of customers to target in B2B. They will focus on
realizing sales target for customized Mobilocs. The ramp up this sales force is given as
below:

Figure 2: Number of salesperson required as direct sales force (Details in Economic Logic Section)
2. Indirect Sales Channel This channel will comprise of conventional sales route i.e.Distributor followed by wholesaler then to retailer and finally to customer. The ramp up
for this team will be a bit fast rate as they need to sell our flagship product i.e. Standard
lock model. They will get in touch with every kind of person involved in sales channel be
it distributor, wholesaler and retailer & convince them to hold our product. The ramp up
this sales force is given as below:
Figure 3 : Number of salesperson as indirect sales force (Details in Economic Logic Section)
Revenue Model
Using the current NFC-enabled smartphone users in India and the growth rate of such users,
the market size of these locks have been estimated. As one user could buy multiple Mobiloc
for multiple bags, the effective market for digital locks is much bigger and as a first mover,
7/31/2019 NTADBM Mobilocs Group 7 Project Report
16/25
13 | P a g e
we hope to capture most of the market share of it. The number bags of different kinds sold in
last few years by various brands and by unknown brands and the respective growth rate data
have also been collected and projected for next four years.
Standard Model
1. Organised SectorThe penetration of Mobilocs in branded suitcases/bags market isexpected to be higher than organised sector and thereby expected captured market
share of Mobiloc has been increased from 1% in 2013 (launch year) to 15% in 2016.
The calculations for revenue and profits have been made using these assumptions and
the total revenue from organised sector for year 2013-16 is Rs. 16.92 crore.
2. Unorganised Sector The penetration here is low as the NFC-enabled smartphoneusers buying unbranded locks would be low. The captured market share assumptions
here are 0.1% in 2013 increasing to 1% in 2016. The revenue calculated from this
sector for years 2013-16 is Rs. 5.85 crore.
Yearly revenue from this model is as shown below:
Figure 4: Yearly Expected Revenue from sales of Standard Model (Details in Economic Logic Section)
Customized Model
The initial partnership with VIP is going to get minimal revenues to the tune of Rs. 7.7
lakh. From the second year 2014, the partnerships will increase and the total revenue for
years 2013-16 is expected as Rs. 1.69 crore.

Yearly revenue from this model is as shown below:
Figure 5: Yearly Royalty Earned from Customized model (Details in Economic Logic Section)
Marketing, Sales and Distribution Model
As discussed above, the customized model and the tie-ups with big suitcase companies would
serve as a promotion exercise for Mobilocs. Apart from it, a marketing and advertising
campaign would be launched with the theme of first digital lock highlighting the ease of use
and improved safety features. The campaign would be kept keeping tech-savvy audiences in
mind as they only with their NFC-enabled smartphones are our target consumers. Theadvertising campaign would be made to make a cognitive impact of these tech-savvy people.
E-marketing campaign with more focus on mobile ads would be launched to target
smartphone users. So the marketing channels used would be internet, email, mobile and
bag/suitcases stores.
Economic Logic
The steps for arriving at economic logic and the numbers are given below. The Red filled
cells are expected values in coming years.
