What is the size of the opportunity
• Almost every person needs food. But not all are our customers.
About 35% of employees in any company work away from home. Our
Focus TG has about 100,000 such people. We aim to serve about
3,000 Customers everyday in Ahmedabad.
• This when replicated in other 8-10 cities over next 3 years, the
number goes to about 50,000 Daily Customers => Avg Sale of Rs 5
Lakhs / Day – ONLY LUNCH.
• In addition to lunch, the other revenue sources include evening
snacks, dry snacks, bulk orders / catering would contribute
another Rs 15 Crores leading to an annual revenue of about Rs 30
Crores in next 2-3 years.

9. B-Plan template by
Business model e.g. how do you plan to make money?
We aim to create a platform for thousands of homechefs across
India to register themselves and start selling.
On each sale, we have a marked-up price which includes our
costs (ex: packaging, delivery, marketing) and margin.
We aim to be the single biggest source of selling (long-life) home
made products across country and opt for a hyper-local model
within city
