Visible evidence of a
growing market for coming
of age / new activities
centered on health/ new
ness/ adventure
& Business creation around
it
Evaluating the Opportunity : A
Consumer Perspective
Why Sport Climbing?
1. A tool to effectively address the barriers of adventure as a category –
• Can be established as a safe way to practice adventure
• Can make adventure accessible
• Can beat the lifestyle barrier of “Time nahin hai”
2. The sport will play on the triggers of the category
• Flaunt value / cool quotient
• Great exercise for all – esp. children
• Newness can be showcased
3. The current space is untouched – individual players are operating in
small single units. Unseeded / unexplored category
4. The current team has established routes to entry by bringing down the
cost of entry into the sport.
With above in mind – value creation can happen through suggested
business models later in the presentation
Sport Climbing : Defy Gravity
The thrill of Mountaineering –made accessible at your doorstep
What do you need to get started ?
Fixed Structure Climbing surface Equipment Trainer
What did we do different?
Cut the cost of wall set up by 50% (One of the biggest entry barrier of
the sport)
• Used the load bearing pillars of an existing building.
• Structurally wetted it.
• Tried the “Apartment route” – breaking the consumers barrier (
lack of time, what is this activity, is it safe?) – making it
accessible at your doorstep
• Put otherwise dead space for a building to good use – turning it into a
revenue generator.
• Put money into R&D of the climbing surface.
And …voila…..
We defied gravity

  • 11. What did we do different? Cut the cost of wall set up by 50% (One of the biggest entry barrier of the sport) • Used the load bearing pillars of an existing building. • Structurally wetted it. • Tried the “Apartment route” – breaking the consumers barrier ( lack of time, what is this activity, is it safe?) – making it accessible at your doorstep • Put otherwise dead space for a building to good use – turning it into a revenue generator. • Put money into R&D of the climbing surface. And …voila…..
