Consider this data

• The number of IT-BPO professionals employed in India grew from less than 200,000 people in 1998 to over 1.6 million in 2007, largely because of the country’s demographic profile and network of high-quality academic institutions.

• India currently has around 347 institutes of higher education and 16,885 colleges with a total enrollment of over 9.9 million. These produce around 495,000 technical graduates, nearly 2.3 million other graduates and over 300,000 post-graduates every year.

• Even at current levels of employability, India has the largest pool of suitable offshore talent, accounting for 28 percent of the total suitable pool available across all offshore destinations.

• India’s emergence as a preferred outsourcing destination has created the need for about 2.3 million professionals by 2010. Based on current estimates, a shortage of skilled knowledge workers may arise if remedial action is not taken.

Consider this data………………………………..Contd

• There are atleast one entrance exam in every two months.• Every state has its own CET entrance exams.• Every year 1 lakh students write CET exams at an average in each

state.• Larger states like Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra etc, have

around 2 lakh students writing CET.• Considering the 18 states shortlisted for setting up franchisee

network, the total number of students who will be appearing for CET alone works out to 18 lakhs.

• Considering only 10% of the student population who have PC and Internet access, the number works out to 1.8 lakhs which can be rounded up to 1.5 lakhs.

• Considering that the partners are able to sell cards worth Rs. 1500 to the student population mentioned above, the billing works out to Rs. 22.5 crores – from CET alone.

So What are your Looking For ?So What are your Looking For ?

Consider this data………………………………..Contd

• Other entrance examinations including GRE, TOEFL, GMAT, IELTS, SAT, State-wise management department entrance examination etc, will account to around 10 lakh student population, out of which if 10% is considered, then the billing would be 1 lakh * Rs. 1500 = 15 crores (See next slide for the sample size of student population considered).

• For Reskilling and Upskilling Cards the total market existing is 3.1 Million. 10% of this market share comes out to be 3 Lacs which amounts to a sale of 3 Lakh * Rs 1500 = Rs 45 Crores.

• Total 10% market = 82.5 crores of turnover. To be on the minimum side 25 % of this turnover is 20 crores. This is to be shared among our 20 Master Franchisees and their Regional and Local Franchisees.

• For these projections the average cost of each card is considered to be Rs 1500 only.
