They estimate the market potential is high given over 124,000 restaurants in urban India.

Their goal is to become profitable and potentially pursue an exit via acquisition or IPO in the future.

1. Cash ur Canvas
Creating a bridge between ‘Art’ and ‘Food’

2. Cash ur Canvas
Create a platform to deliver a bridge to display
and sale of art and paintings on the walls of
restaurants.

3. The Market Problem
• Canvas paintings art has a very low sale
number as there are very few platforms for
the sale of paintings and visual appreciation
points.
• Tourism dept. states there are over 140000
restaurants in urban India.

4. Our Insight
• Is that, restaurants and eating joints are places where
maximum people meet, have meetings, and spend time.
• There are different restaurants with different themes. They
would love to display some art on one prominent wall of their
restaurant.
• Art people, painters and artists refrain from having a
marketing and professional approach to sale of their art.
• Example – Most of the Café Coffee Day joints have a vibrant
ambience . According to the ambience and crowd analysis,
some vibrant paintings can be displayed for sale, which would
appeal visitors and provoke them to purchase it.

paintings results in very poor hits and
unsuccessful sale

cheaper outside restaurants
• Changing preferences of people and avoiding
hotel visits, and ordering food at home

22. Did you have these Q’s in mind?
Q - Will cashurcanvas be a distribution channel also?
A – Ideally not. We would like to value the paintings and hence
would appoint a private service to deliver the suitable
paintings to restaurants with a extra care in handling and
transportation.
Q – Who will own the IP of the paintings?
A – It’s a good question. Till the point the painting is sold, it is a
property of the artist. Once a sale proceed is done through
cashurcanvs, the commission of ‘restaurant’ and
‘cashurcanvas’ and then remaining amount is transferred to
the artist.
