    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    ECOLEDS is a cost saving, energy conserving, healthy, durable, brand value and quality lightingsolution to all the lighting requirements of domestic and corporate users for a lesser price than

    existing in the market. It is a venture that readily solves a big problem of all consumers in

    general and specific to the corporate which is power conservation and cost saving. On one hand

    it ensures quality and life of the LEDs it uses and on the other its cost is way lesser than that

    offered by equally good brands. It allows homes and offices to be lit by very highly efficient and

    healthy lights. They consume lesser energy as compared to the CFL tubes and do not emit

    radiation which is a major cause of concern these days. The corporate houses keen on going

    green to secure CSR badges and construction companies become our first and natural targets.

    The idea isnt novel but ECOLED has a strong selling point. The case for ECOLED is simple.

    The operations (production) plan of the company is simple in both prospect and execution which

    stands for better chances of success. The catch is that most of our production process is

    outsourced. All the ingredients are supplied by our suppliers and only assembly of components

    takes place with us. This ensures lower expenditure on fixed assets and lower risk. The

    companys competitive advantage is also the product and the market in which it operates. In

    India, the market is not mature but has a lot of potential. On the other hand the products quality

    is a compelling buying point esp. for the unprecedently lucrative cost offered by the company.

    The target market for the initial phases of the business are the realtors who create housing

    spaces, commercial spaces and others that require lighting. These would be contacted by the

    marketing team for their lighting needs and contracts would be secured. Some of the real estate

    construction companies have already been contacted and good responses have been generated.

    However, towards the later phases of the business it will spread in its scope to the corporate

    offices which are keen on going green and saving energy costs. Alongside, the company will

    also distribute the product to the end consumers directly through retail outlets.

    The strength of the business however is its team. The management team is highly diverse and

    capable of handling diverse positions in the company. The team is guided by a noble vision of

    5

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    6/67

    Tanya the CEO and the respective departmental and functional heads who are committed to

    creating the venture a success.

    The Business is financially very secure. The team aims to break even by 1.5 years which is good.

    considering the very conservative demand assumed for production. It is also worth mentioning

    that the plant and machinery is highly scalable and in the early phases barely reaching even half

    of its true capacity. The scalability of the machine is an indicator of how wise the investment on

    the plant and machinery has been. Fixed cost is to be at ` 2500000. While contribution per unit is

    aimed at ` 76.8, the company would break even at 32544 units and would take place precisely by a

    year and half since the commencement of the operations.

    The company would require a net startup capital of ` 25,00,000. The total amount invested by 10

    partners would be ` 1,50,000 each. Thus, total equity from the partners would be ` 15,00,000. An

    investment of ` 10,00,000 would be required from external source. The total investment would

    be used to fund the machinery, dye, furniture, firm formation, legal expenditure and working

    capital.

    The market is bound to grow in the coming times as more and more governments would become

    energy conscious and will take over the matter seriously and might even end up legislating rules

    for the corporate and constructions all over. Corporate, otherwise also is conscious about its role

    in energy conservatism in the society. The corporate is already spending a lot to come to the

    good books of energy issues of our society and the norm is only to stay. However, the team is

    ready to face critical risks involved in the whole process of business. These risks have not only

    been identified but also plans are in place to mitigate and contain the effect of such risks. In case

    of a fall out the team also has in mind an exit strategy. The basic exit strategy would be selling

    out assets, which would be as good in value as they were when bought because more often than

    not the risk of financial failure is high at the beginning. Operational failures are limited due to

    the nature of outsourcing of most of the procedures. Given the plot as an asset, its price will onlyincrease in times to come and might pay out for any losses incurred in the investment. The

    investor however, will be risk free as the break even happens in just a year and a halfs time.

    The Business

    1.1. OPPORTUNITY

    Focus these days is on developing energy efficient and environment friendly devices. We

    can no longer afford to play havoc with nature. We are already experiencing the ill

    effects of global warming caused by the excessive carbon emissions in the atmosphere.

    Keeping this in mind, LED bulbs have been introduced and they are fast replacing

    incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). LED bulbs use only a fraction

    of the energy consumed by the incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs. Therefore, it

    is a green option for illuminating spaces.

    Also, LED bulbs are mercury free and therefore do not harm the environment or the

    health of the users. Also, they do not flicker which has been known to can cause

    headaches for some people. Shocks and vibrations do not easily damage them because

    they do not have any filament.

    1.2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    Vision:

    To provide our customers with the most environmentally friendly products and to help

    customers in participating in the healing process of our environment through the

    purchasing and educating our customers on environmentally friendly products and

    services.

    Mission:

    To have LED lights in all residential and commercial buildings in Delhi and NCR within

    next 7 years.

    OBJECTIVES:

    Cost Reduction to make it accessible for the common man.

    Provide better quality of lighting in every household and improve the life of the

    LEDs.

    Enhance power saving in LEDs.

    1.3. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

    The demand for LEDs has increased significantly due to its applications in camera flash,

    automotive, lighting and mobile devices. This is expected to increase demand manifold

    in the global LED lighting market. As India is emerging as a key market for LED TVs

    and other portable consumer electronics devices, LEDs' demand is expected to increase

    manifold in the coming years.

    Many countries have banned incandescent light bulbs owing to their low efficiency,

    while increasing the energy- efficiency requirements for modern lighting technologies,

    including LEDs. Furthermore, an increase in efficiency is also expected to translate into

    cheaper lighting expenditure. India, being a price sensitive market, will witness a

    significant increase in penetration, as LED lamp prices go down the price ladder.

    LED lighting is expected to witness significant penetration in commercial applications

    worldwide. The key driving factor is expected to be the quick ROI that LED lighting

    provides in lighting applications requiring a continuous operational time of over 16 hours

    per day. The energy savings alone account for significant cost savings. When coupled

    with lower maintenance costs, this offers scope for achieving an ROI in lesser than twoyears in commercial applications.

    Manufacturing of LEDs has not been taken up at a large scale in India as yet. Seeing its

    advantages and scope in India and globally and the fact that its manufacturing has not

    9

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    10/67

    began in India, it will give us the competitive advantage being one of the first movers.

    Also since there is a huge potential market, the demand for LED lighting system is soon

    going to increase manifold.

    3.2. Legal Structure

    The legal structure a business chooses is fundamental to the way it operates. This legal

    framework determines who shares in the profits and losses, how tax is paid, where legal

    liabilities rests. It also determines the nature of a business' relationships with business associates,

    investors, creditors and employees.

    Ours is a partnership firm, so the legal structure followed by a partnership firm would be

    applicable. In future, we may shift to a private limited and later a public limited company.

    3.3. Intellectual Property

    Intellectual property refers to a distinct type of creation for which the property rights are retained

    with the creator. This also provides an onus to people to create and innovate more. Our firm will

    4. Industry Analysis

    4.1. INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION

    4.1.1 Industry Trends

    A few years backLED light bulbs had limited usage. They were used only in digital devices and

    traffic lights, but now they are being used widely in residential and commercial lighting. Many

    people are switching to LED lamps because of their manifold benefits. They are energy efficient,

    environment friendly, and have good life span. Also, they are sturdy and do not get easily

    damaged due to shocks. An LED lamp consumes one-tenth of energy consumed by an

    incandescent bulb and has an average life span of 10 years.

    The current lighting industry is mainly based on either the inefficient incandescent bulbs or

    compact fluorescent lights which contain mercury. With the arrival of LED technology,

    4.1.2. Industry Size

    The initial use of white LEDs for LCD display backlights in notebook computers took place in

    2005 in high-end, utra-lightweight models from Sony, Fujitsu and Toshiba. By 2007, LED

    penetration had increased to just 3.5%. But in 2008 it reached 12%, and it is expected to reach

    50% in 2009. Because of the improving price/performance situation of white side-view LEDs,

    and the advantage of longer battery life provided by more efficient LCD backlights, the adoption

    of LED backlights in notebook PCs increased manifold and it is expected to reach close to 100%

    within a few more years.

    4.1.3. Industry Attractiveness

    The industry attractiveness can be studied with the help of Porters Five Forces Model.

    19

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    20/67

    We will discuss all the forces one by one.

    1. Potential entrants and existing players

    As interest in LED lighting grows rapidly in the burgeoning Indian economy, several LED

    lighting companies have mushroomed, offering low cost options that unfortunately fail to deliver

    the promised benefits. LED is the latest and the most advanced illumination technology in the

    world and not every lighting manufacturer may have the requisite mastery over optics, thermal

    engineering and electronics technology that is needed to maintain the required lumens over the

    promised "long life". Since the CAGR for LED market is around 17% there are very high

    chances of new entrants but the low margin of around 5%- 6% might act as an obstacle and also

    since initial setup requires technologically sound machinery and investment it acts as an easy

    entrant but difficult exit market.

    2. Substitutes

    LEDs are a part of bigger family of Solid State Lighting. The product market is segmented into

    submarkets for LEDs, OLEDs, CFLs, CCFL and high intensity discharge. The LED segment has

    the most market potential with expected CAGR of 17.3 per cent from 2010 to 2015 due to itsgrowing penetration into backlighting and pure lightings application markets.

    3. Suppliers

    The raw materials used for manufacture are sourced from impeccable vendors in JAPAN,

    TAIWAN & USA to ensure uncompromising quality inputs. As we are the manufacturers and

    20

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    21/67

    the raw material required to manufacture LED is easily available there is very less threat from

    the suppliers side.

    4. Buyers

    The current market for LED is more concentrated towards LED display manufacturers like

    SAMSUNG, SONY etc. and less towards general lighting which includes households, street

    lights etc. Since more concentration is in B2B the buyer bargaining power is their but gets

    restricted due to lesser number of players. As the number of players will increase the prices as

    well as profit margins will come down but on the other hand general lighting market will

    increase which will give the volume to counter the decrease in margins.

    4.1.4. Market Attractiveness

    LED is the latest and the most advanced illumination technology in the world. Lately, the LED

    industry has garnered a lot of attention, prompting the rapid expansion and substantial

    investment by LED-related equipment and material suppliers globally. LED expansion and new

    facility projects have literally mushroomed all over the world.

    GROWTH PROSPECTS IN INDIA:

    The 2010 packaged LED market was estimated at over Rs.45, 866.17 crore ($10 billion),

    according to IMS Research. The market watcher says that revenues for the segment increased 67per cent from Rs.27, 978.36 crore ($6.1 billion) in 2009 to Rs.46, 783.49 crore ($10.2 billion) in

    2010.

    The Rs.18, 805.13 crore ($4.1 billion) increase in 2010 versus 2009 is by far the largest in the

    history of LEDs. It is attributed to penetration of LEDs as backlighting for LCD TVs, with

    packaged LED sales for TVs shooting up to Rs.11,466.54 crore ($2.5 billion) in 2010 from

    Rs.1,834.65 crore ($0.4 billion) in 2009

    The analyst predicts 25 per cent growth in 2011. Beyond 2013, the segment is expected to grow

    from the increased use of LEDs in general lighting. There is a huge potential for LEDs in general

    lighting applications, such as for hotels, retail, residential, outdoor and street lighting, so the

    future remains bright for LEDs.

    21

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    22/67

    Target segment benefits and attractiveness

    There can be several categories of lighting customers in India, some of which are:

    1. LED FLASHLIGHTS are gaining popularity nowadays.

    They have become a must-have gadget for those who love camping, hiking, or any other outdoor

    activity. In fact, LED flashlight has become a must-have gadget to keep at home, as well. Over

    the years, LED flashlights have replaced the traditional flashlights which consisted of the old

    incandescent bulb. The LED torch, which is how they are known in some other countries, is far

    better than traditional flashlights.

    2. LED LIGHT BULBS are very efficient and consume very little electricity, so one will

    see an immediate decrease in your electric bill

    3. VEHICLE LIGHTING APPLICATIONSAutomotive manufacturers are attracted by the potential reduction in energy consumption as well

    as the space savings realized by smaller lighting fixtures. The styling potential of LEDs also is a

    great benefit for consumers, which enables more attractive and distinctive designs. Consumers

    also benefit from safety aspects of using solid-state signal lighting. The reason why LED Car

    Lights Are Fast Gaining Popularity are that it Enhances Safety, they have a longer life, they

    consume less energy and they are environment friendly.

    4. RESIDENTIAL LIGHTING

    Household LED lights can be used in all functions for the home. LED Lights work for both the

    interior and the exterior of the home. All LED Light products will screw into commonplace

    household light sockets. They are a direct and easy screw-in replacement. LED Lights, LED

    bulbs, LED Lamps, and other LED lighting applications work magnificent in place of

    incandescent bulbs or CFLs.

    5. ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING

    Architectural building exterior and interior lighting is used to create special effects, but not

    general illumination. The ability to make and project color changing light fixtures for hotels,

    restaurants, casinos, fountains, landmarks, etc.

    BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING:

    LED Light Bulbs Reduces Power Usage

    ADVANTAGES OVER CFLs

    Seven Reasons Not To Buy or Use CFL's:

    1. Even when you Buy ENERGY STAR CFLs. they are up to 50% less efficient than LED

    Lighting

    2. Do not use standard CFLs in fixtures controlled by dimmers. Unless your CFL

    specifically states that it is rated for use with a dimmer, it can burn out in days or weeks.Even if

    you leave the dimmer switch up all the way, it will still shorten the life of an ordinary CFL. LED

    Lighting Makes many types and styles that are made to be dimmable and give you far superior

    lighting and life longevity .

    3. Do not use standard CFLs in recessed cans and air-tight enclosed fixtures.

    CFLs are more sensitive to heat than ordinary bulbs.Unless your CFL is specifically rated for use

    in air-tight enclosed fixtures and recessed cans, the heat build-up will harm the electronic ballast

    and can dramatically shorten its life. LED Lighting can be used in any application. In fact LEd

    23

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    24/67

    Lighting does not get above room temperature so heat is never a factor. The range of

    temperatures of LED Lighting greatly surpasses the range for CFL's.

    4. Avoid jostling and vibration. CFLs in fixtures that are subject to regular or strong vibration

    will have a shorter life. LED Lighting is drop and vibration resistant and will not effect the life

    longevity of the bulb.

    5. Avoid excessive on-off cycles. A CFL usually has about 7,000 on-off cycles in it.Its up to

    you how you use them.Repeated on-off cycles (more than 20 per day or in motion sensors) will

    shorten the life of your bulb. LEd Lighting is not affected by turning on and off. LED lighting

    does not have a on and off life cycle.

    6. Make sure your wiring is in good shape. Wiring problems such as a loose neutral or

    inadequate grounding can cause low voltage or voltage fluctuations which can shorten the lives

    of CFLs. This is true for both bulbs. However LED's draw less power than CFL's

    7. Do not use CFLs in fixtures exposed to damp or wet conditions unless they are rated for

    that application. Most CFLs can be installed in outdoor fixtures if they are in a properly

    enclosed fixture, well protected from rain, snow and moisture. Otherwise, look for bulbs rated

    for damp or wet locations. LED Lighting thrives in these applications. In fact studies have shown

    the colder the weather the better and longer LED Lighting will last above it rated life time.

    6.1. Location - FaridabadFaridabad a major industrial city and population center in Haryana state, northern India. It is

    located in Faridabad District. The city was founded in 1607 by Shaikh Farid, treasurer of

    Jahangir, with the object of protecting the highway which passed through the town. Shaikh Farid

    built a fort, a tank and a mosque which are in ruins. Later, it becomes the headquarters of a

    pargana which was held in jagir by the Ballabgarh ruler. Faridabad became 12th district of

    Haryana State on 15th August, 1979.

    Faridabad town adjoinsDelhion its south-eastern side and has grown enormously during the last

    couple of decades, particularly because a large number of industries have come up in the town.

    The present population of Faridabad is about 1.25 million which produces a waste water flow

    and industrial waste flow.

    Faridabad City itself is a plain bordered by the River Yamuna to the east and Aravalli Hills

    towards the west and south West. Being in close proximity to the Yamuna the land east of the

    National Highway is better in quality than the western side. Today virtually all of the land has

    been filled up with residential housing as the population of the city swelled during the mid 90s.

    The rapid growth of the city also brought immigrants to the city from other parts of the country.

    Haryana Government has decided to go ahead with the setting up of new Industrial Model

    Township (IMT) at Faridabad and Rohtak. These townships will be built on the pattern of

    Manesar near Gurgaon. Based on the global model for an industrial hub, these townships will

    integrate industrial, commercial, residential and institutional sites for operational convenience

    and promoting walk-to-work-culture.

    The industrial township at Faridabad will be developed in Sectors 66, 67, 68 and 69 of the Final

    Development Plan of Faridabad. Here land measuring 1832 acres has been notified for

    acquisition under Section 4 of Land Acquisition Act.

    like Auto Ignition Limited (AUTO-LEK), Star Wire India Limited, JCB,Escorts,Yamaha, Knorr

    Bremse,ACE,ABB, GoodYear, ACC, IndianOil(R&D), Whirlpool, Easy Infotech,Jham Plastic

    Industries,Havell's,L&T,Sangeeta industries, WEBTECH Engineering etc.

    4. Information technology

    Faridabad is emerging as the I.T. hub for the small and medium level enterprises providing the

    resources heaven such as skilled and qualified professionals with a lot of scope of doing business

    due to proximity to the national capital New Delhi.

    5. Communications

    Faridabad is well connected by the latest means of communications that includes GSM, WLL,

    Dialup internet connection, DSL internet connection, Leased line internet connection.

    Govt operated fixed line/land line telephone connections privately operated, world class network

    of fixed line phones.

    34

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    35/67

    Apart from electronics means of communication, the city is well connected through the postal

    services as well. Government owned Indian Postal Service and privately owned postal services

    like First Flight, DHL, FedEx, DTDC, Blue Dart etc. can be easily accessed.

    6. Transportation

    By Rail Faridabad is on the broad gauge of New Delhi- Mumbai Line. New Delhi and Hazrat

    Nizammudin Railway Station is about 25 km away from Faridabad Station. The trains for big

    cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad are easily accessible from here. Local Trains runs

    between New Delhi to Faridabad.

    There are three railway stations in the city viz. Faridabad (FDB), New Town Faridabad (FDN)

    and Ballabgarh (BVH). Earlier it was the last station of central railway, but now it has been

    included in Northern railway. It is a very high revenue generating source for railways as

    thousands of people move daily in local trains to and from Delhi for education/professions.

    The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has decided to extend the metro rail service to the city as well.

    By Road The National Highway-2 (Delhi-Mathura Road) passes through the city, and thus it is

    well connected to nearby states. Roadways services of Haryana (Haryana Roadways) and

    School, and Manav Rachna; as the top schools in Faridabad.

    Faridabad has several private universities including several engineering colleges. However, there

    is a certain stigma associated with studying in a private institute and most senior secondary

    students in Faridabad aim for studying in better reputed colleges in Delhi and elsewhere.

    There is a large number of coaching centers in Faridabad that aim to prepare students for

    entrance examinations to several prestigious colleges all over India; in particular engineering

    entrance examinations for the Indian Institutes of Technology and National Institutes ofTechnology.

    6.3. Faridabad Plant Location Advantages

    1. Industrial township is growing rapidly in District Faridabad.

    35

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    36/67

    2. Availability of raw material - The source of raw materials is one of the most important

    factors influencing the selection of a plant site. Several factors considered were

    purchased price of the raw materials, distance from the source of supply, freight and

    transportation expenses, availability and reliability of supply, purity of raw materials and

    storage requirements.

    3. Availability of suitable land at a comparatively cheaper price. - The characteristics of

    the land at the proposed plant site were examined carefully. The cost of the land is

    important, as well as living conditions. Future changes may make it desirable or

    necessary to expand the plant facilities. A full site evaluation was done to determine the

    need for other special foundations before selecting Faridabad as the final location of our

    manufacturing plant.

    4. Plenty of labour available as per the requirements. The manufacturing plant demands

    semi skilled labour capable of meeting the production requirements. For this, we need

    labour who are active enough to meet the targets.

    5. Proper industrial infrastructure - Availability of utilities like water, electricity, etc in

    Faridabad.

    6. Transport Facilities - The transport of materials and products to and from plant will be an

    overriding consideration in site selection. Road transport will be used, and is suitable for

    local distribution of raw materials and finished products. Faridabad excels in this area

    and scores over the several other locations identified.

    7. Favorable laws for setting up an industrial unit in Faridabad.

    8. Above all this, Faridabad is well connected to Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida and Greater Noida,

    all of which are areas of our potential customers (most corporate offices present and

    upcoming lie in these regions of NCR).

    6.4. Layout Size Requirements and Layout Plan

    Area of Plant identified - 1000 sq. Metre @ 50 Rs per sq metreRent per month = 50,000 Rs.

    36

    Operational Plan

    37

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    38/67

    7. Operational Plan

    7.1. Method of Production

    The basic operation required at the initial phases would be limited to production only. Though,

    in due course of time, after sales services would also be a part of the operation of the company.

    The operational plan is intended to work in simultaneity with the marketing plan. The basic

    operation would be to aggregate demand coming from the realtor who are keen on using the

    green stamp of led lights in their constructions and then schedule the assembly units at our

    singular plant in Faridabad.

    The company would initially outsource all the production steps but for assembly of the parts.

    Since the industry being technologically sensitive, holding production capacity for LEDs isnt

    wise in short run. The company would buy flexible PVC from domestic markets and also

    outsource the mould designing and manufacturing. The PVC moulding would take place in

    house as it is very much integral to the design of our product.

    7.2. Availability of qualified labor pool

    The skill set required is mostly for soldering the circuits and joining the LEDs with them. These

    can be repetitiously done with little supervision after a good round of training. The training costs

    could be high if the labour is very temporary and doesnt turn up regularly. A good HR and

    labour policy should take care of that. In benefit of a young entity like ours, we are hiring semi

    skilled and unskilled labor.

    38

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    39/67

    7.3. Business partnership

    The operational partnership is the key to creating a quality value offering to the customers. Since

    our business is founded on outsourcing most of the production, the relationships with the

    suppliers is key to deriving the best quality, short term cost advantage and long term businessviability. Our key business partners would be plastic and prismatic glass suppliers, packaging

    providers, LED suppliers and real estate agents, construction companies, office spaces etc.

    7.4. Quality Control

    Though most of the lean job shop principles that can be applied without added cost, will be

    applied, we as an organization would like to stand for supreme quality. In order to deliver on our

    promise we are using metallization for better lighting. We are outsourcing goods from Bangalore

    and other locations. In principle, we would like our suppliers to vouch for the quality agreed on

    contract but on receipt, all the goods would be inspected for quality in batches. Every worker in

    the assembly unit will be trained to check for quality lapse in the ingredients before assembly.

    This approach would rule out any storage damages of the inventory. Apart from these measures

    a great deal of caution would be spent on packaging quality as it would be the key to ensure the

    preservation of quality of the product and hence the realized quality by the end consumer.

    7.5. Logistics

    The logistics would be primarily outsourced initially. The logistics is important because the

    nature of the product is fragile and its shipment must be trauma free in order that its value

    remains intact. A relationship approach is important and a vendor who offers logistical insurance

    would be chosen.

    7.6. Customer Support

    We are very much customer focused. In the initial phases we would be wise enough to not spend

    much on systematic 24x7 customer support. Neither does the nature of our product demand an

    instantaneous replacement. But yes, a telephonic customer support is implementable and will

    surely be in place to meet queries and complains from new and old customers alike. In later

    phases (long term) when we take our business to corporate offices we would definitely need

    FINANCIAL RISK MITIGATION

    Financial Risk Mitigation, provides the critical background information and analyses needed by

    sophisticated investors, financers, and corporate decision makers to evaluate new business

    relationships and make proper determinations regarding whether or not to continue an

    existing relationship.

    Every business carries with it a degree of financial risk. For example, the customer may become

    insolvent and unable to pay the contract fees; the service provider may cease to carry on

    business; or either party may have insufficient funds to support an indemnity.

    In case of financial crisis, following can be helpful :

    Bank guarantees: A bank guarantee confers on one party the right to obtain money

    from a bank usually payable on demand and without the need to provide reasons

    or justifications to the bank for loss incurred as a result of the other partys default

    or failure to perform.

    Insurance : Insurance provides a level of comfort that the service provider will have access to

    sufficient financial resources to satisfy liability claims that may arise under the contract, for

    example, damages for personal injury and death, damage to property, breach of contract or

    breach of a third party's intellectual property rights.

    Liquidated damages : Liquidated damages are an amount of money intended to comprise a

    genuine pre-estimate of damage or loss suffered by one party should the other party fail to

    perform in accordance with the contract.

    Limitation of liability : A limitation of liability (often called a liability cap) is a contractual

    clause that enables the service provider to cap its financial risk. However, this form of risk

    mitigation can be drafted mutually, provided that the specified limitations are reasonable and are

    determined following a risk assessment.

    Certain heads of loss are usually excluded from the cap, such as:

    47

  • 8/7/2019 IED Final Report Group6

    48/67

    death and personal injury

    damage or loss to tangible property

    breach of confidentiality, privacy and infringement of intellectual property rights

    fraud.

    OPERATIONAL RISK MITIGATION

    Enormous competition and rapidly dwindling bottom lines have forced firms to renew their

    focus on their cost strategy, of which outsourcing has become the most vital component. Firms

    are increasingly aware that non-core activities, which do not create immediate tangible value for

    the organization, can often be very well done by outside experts at a fraction of existing costs. So

    we have decided to outsource the LEDs from China basically.

    Outsourcing, especially offshore seems to offer significant benefits in terms of cost savings and

    conversion of fixed costs into variable costs.

    This does not mean that outsourcing does not have its own problems. At times, it becomes it

    difficult to coordinate, monitor and control performance of their vendors effectively.

    Outside Partner amount invested = 10,00,000 Rs

    10.1 Purpose & Use of Fund

    PURPOSE

    As there has been huge potential in LED light market, so we wish to start assembling LED lights

    and want to make various tubelights, bulbs and lamps. In future we are looking to manufacture

    LED at our own plant.

    10.2. Exit Strategy

    As our business has very quite a huge sum of initial capital requirements, so exiting out of the

    business would be difficult. However, since we are outsourcing LEDs instead of manufacturing

    them, our costs are still remarkably lesser.

    Moreover, since we do not require a debt, so there is no obligation to pay an interest every year.

    The profit as well as losses both will be borne by the equity holders.

    The estimated profits are quite satisfying for the initial years. Break even is projected to be

    after 1.5 years. After three years, the company would be able to generate enough profits and cash

    and would become self-sustainable. Then the company can think of backward integration and

    start manufacturing LEDs also. Otherwise, the investor can make a complete exit out of the

    project after five years easily after gaining high amount of dividend.

    business
