2. Mission Statement:

and 35% for the next three years.

 Current Market Challenges:
 Though many IT sector firms in the Delhi NCR region do provide their own transportation
facilities, the companies usually charge a hefty amount for the service.
 Lack of uniformity in the locations of the employees and the subsequent fuel costs involved in
such customized pickups and drops.
 To cater to a limited number of employees the Company has to invest a lot in increasing
the number of routes catered to and distance covered in each route
 From the employee’s perspective the current available options are both uneconomical as well
as hassling i.e. cheap private transport like auto-rickshaws, costly private cabsservices- Uber
/Ola and combination of public transport options (Public Buses+ Metro rail+ rick-shaws)
 Opportunity:
 Compelling opportunity owing to strong market demand for a moderately priced cab service
 The profit potential is moderate, but would grow as the company captures markets
 The current competition is not satisfying the need the market sufficiently, so a definite
opportunity is presented here.
 Our Solution:
 Autocab would offer a relaxing, stress free, ride to office goers so that they can turn
up fresh and on-time to work
