8. Current And Projected Financials
Capital expenditure = Rent 6,00,000, Office setup 10,00,000, server management and technical
expenditures = 20,00,000, Cost of 5000000 users = Rs. 44165 Using Azure microsoft server Small VM
(1.6GHz CPU, 1.75GB RAM, 225GB Storage) 0.08*8760 = Rs. 44165 a year for serving peak of 5000000
transactions at peak.
Operative expenditure = Salaries 40,00,000,Marketing & sales 20,00,000 Utility bills 5,00,000
All expenditure (opex+capex) will sum up to Rs 1,01,50,000 (for first year)

50/yr and uses closest2u 3 times a day i.e. 1100 times a year is Rs 0.045. (considering that only 5% of the
users are paid users.) How much does it costs to service that customer = 0.01 per customer per

9. Funding Needs, Use Of Funds And Proposed Valuation
First we will utilize the investment in technological development &
operations because an error at first step brings disappointment in very
initial believers of the product.
And then we will consider to invest in its sales & marketing.
There are no other co-investors as per now, but we are in talks with a
few.
Investment of Rs.25 lakh will last us for 3 months(only if we followed the
lean startup method).
10. Sounds Too Good To Be True ?
