BUSINESS MODEL i-Studio would be a firm that takes a human-centered, design-based approach to help organizations in the
public and private sectors innovate and grow. Almost every Multinational corporation has a research and
development cell. Micro, small and medium scale enterprise which plays major role in earning GDP, do not
have the resources to establish an RnD. They, thus might need innovation, but are not able to apply since for
them, the investment is too huge and return might be low. The pain point thus being addressed is inability of
micro, small and medium scale industries to apply continuous improvement method and in-turn stay away
from optimized use of their resources.
COMPETITOR OVERVIEW IDEO: The firm promises to be an innovation hub and has been globally recognized as one of the top 100
innovation firms in the world. The company has an advantage of having well-placed resources but is not as
much active in India.
NIF: National Innovation Foundation is one of the premier foundations which urge students to work on
industrial problems. The foundation has an advantage of being established but the since the workforce is not
experienced and the workforce has not been proportionately motivated. It faces a huge issue of not working
in synchronization.
PRODUCT EXECUTION All of i-Studios work would be done in consideration of the capabilities of their clients and the needs of the
clients customers. As they iterate toward a final solution, I-Studio continuously reassess our designs. Their
goal is to deliver appropriate, actionable, and tangible strategies. Under this system, i-Studio uses both
analytical tools and generative techniques to help clients see how their new or existing operations could look
in the future and build road maps for getting there.

(PHR) module to deliver the best of both worlds for the doctors and their patients. Dr. Oxy is envisioned to be
an affordable SaaS solution for doctors with practices of all sizes. Dr. Oxy is the ideal solution for doctors with
small/medium practices as it generally highly expensive and time consuming to maintain patient records in
any format and there is always the problem of scheduling that mostly clashes with the thin barrier between
their personal life and their professional life.
TEAM Kamalesh Babu J: Entrepreneur with over 5 years of professional experience and one successful exit. He is in
charge of sales and marketing.
Prathiba Menon: Entrepreneur with over 5 years of professional experience From a technical background,

option to opt for either a yearly subscription or a monthly/quarterly subscription and additional installation
cost/maintenance fees. The yearly subscription offers the doctors the option to pay for 10 months and use
for 12 months. The revenue stream is comes in two ways: (i) Licensing based and (ii) Maintenance fee (or) (i)
Installation cost and (ii) Software licensing + maintenance which would bring in steady revenue even after the
initial cost is covered.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY The primary target market would comprise of healthcare professionals that includes, consulting physicians,
surgeons and general practitioners, small and medium practices, dentists, etc. On the secondary level would

manage their practices and maintain records.
COMPETITOR OVERVIEW The primary competitors for the product in the same domain using similar technology is from Lightning Pad,
which is also a tablet based solution, but aimed only for the emergency room in the US market. As of now in
India, there are only web and desktop based solutions that are not the direct competitors of the product.
There are bigger EHR/EMR providers in India like Vepro, which cater only towards large hospitals and other
providers that focus on medium scale hospitals
PRODUCT EXECUTION The framework for Dr. Oxy comes in three tiers. There are different levels of work that need to be focused on.
The key levels are the Web Interface, Tablet/Mobile interface and Cloud Hosting. Further enhancements to
Dr. Oxy would depend on the market response to the current modules and also based on the need and
necessity of the user base.

BUYHATKE
kolkata
CONCEPT The common online shopper has to go through multiple steps before he finally lands up with a product.

dynamic price search and social recommendation engine. The consumer skips through the unnecessary
scavenging and simply searches for his desired product on BuyHatke.
TEAM Gaurav: He is an entrepreneur with diverse array of experiences in various domains of business. His vision is
to create breakthrough creative solutions to solve user predicaments.
BUSINESS MODEL BuyHatke forms the bridge between the shopper and the portal which the shopper finally uses. Although the
e-commerce websites are extremely well maintained and easy to use, there is no one to care for the step
before the customer comes to the portal. BuyHatke fills that void. BuyHatke has the vast vision of connecting
every buyer and seller globally.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY The e-commerce segment in India is the fastest growing in the world. With a lot of policy changes by the
government, the internet penetration of country is increasing at an exponential rate. Over the years, with
falling prices, more and more people are getting access to internet. And with access to internet, people are
opening up to the concept of shopping online. The domestic e-commerce market has the potential to grow
between $ 125 billion and $ 260 billion by 2024-25.
COMPETITOR OVERVIEW The biggest thing that BuyHatke has working for itself is that the market is HUGE, and is largely untapped.
The number of players in this market is limited as most of the players are heading to set up e-commerce
stores rather than price comparison and metasearch portals. These e commerce sites end up serving
BuyHatke and its consumer base. The number of players in the MetaSearch sector is limited, and these
players are technologically inferior as compared to BuyHatke in multiple facets.

CONCEPT MindArray synchronizes and correlates incidents from hybrid enterprise IT network by monitoring end to end
component such as network device, server, application, cloud apps. Its better than traditional monitoring,
because Admin are able to find root cause fast and can minimize troubleshooting. This results in maximum
service-levels and performance efficiency and cost savings. We help IT admins who are struggling to keep
close eye on each component and cant detect the incident before complains.
TEAM AmitShingala, CEO: Prior to MindArray he served as System Analyst at Capital Novus, USA. Together he and
Alpesh had created a Hadoop cluster to extract and search into Big Data. He has done MS in Computer
Science.
AlpeshDhamelia, CTO: He has successfully developed enterprise class product from scratch to extract key-
phrase and document clustering using Hadoop map reduce framework. His passion includes optimizing
Algorithms and making windows device drivers.
BUSINESS MODEL The current product comes with integrated database and can be deployed on single server. User can monitor
up to thousands of devices on single deployment. The rates charged are as per device or resource that is
monitored. Annual per monitor cost starts at $25 with minimum 50 monitors and $21 with minimum 250
monitors.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY Network admins continue to find that no monitoring tool serves all their needs. Most of them have few basic
needs: 1. Monitor network performance. 2 Monitor server availability and hardware faults.3 Manage cloud
capacity planning and performance. 4 Analyze events and log and parse netflow in network. 6 Take network
configuration backups. For SME and Mid-size business normally they would use multiple monitoring system
or not monitoring everything due to budget issues.
COMPETITOR OVERVIEW IBM, BMC, HP and CA do a good job monitoring infrastructure but they are legacy tools and their
deployment, maintenance limits the correlation between events and also adds extra layer of complexity.
Others such as Solarwinds, ManageEngine, Paessler have come out with different products for different
admin needs and force user to buy add-ons and plugins and supports limited functionality.
