4. Products

Magic Eye would be a unique solution for visually impaired. The product would
not be a replica of a natural eye but could help a person in identifying his
surroundings well. This product may turn out to be revolutionary with further
advancement and refined researches.

So far no such device is available in India. This will not just be a benefit the
company in terms of sales and profit but also to facilitate the handicap that could
not be partially or fully cured.

The product could be used by people who once had a vision but due to some
reason have lost their eyesight and now they could see with their brains through
this Magic Eye.

11 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

4.1. Product Description

The product, an innovation of electronic technology, could be implanted in


the eye behind the retina at the back of the eye ball. An ultra-thin wire would
transmit light and images to the brain's vision system and strengthen the
damaged optical nerve. The product will be named ‘The Magic Eye’ as it is a
miracle for the people who have lost their eyesight in an accident. The
consumer of The Magic Eye will be advised to wear special spectacles which
would contain battery-powered very tiny camera, and also a transmitter,
which would work in sending images to the chip. The chip, enclosed in
titanium casing, making it water-proof and corrosion-proof, and will hopefully
last for at least 10 years inside the eye . Crores of Indians suffer from
blindness caused by age related macular generation. This eye could help
people who are suffering from retinitis pigmentosa (a genetic condition),
but could not be used for patients of glaucoma. The product would weigh
about 700 grams. The product might not give perfect vision to the
customers but will surely give them a sense of their surroundings.

The product Magic Eye, would be of use for especially those people who
have lost their eyesight and not for those who were blind by birth. The
product would fulfill their need of seeing but it will be done through brains.

4.2. Competitive Comparison

- Since this is a first of its kind product in India, there would no competition in
the market. Hence, the company would benefit as a monopoly player.

- Though the product would be expensive and would be priced at Rs 80,000,


the advantage would be that it would be a rust free and reaction free implant
and so people would go out of their way to buy it. The A category patients
would be the first ones to buy the product as money will be little or no
constraint to them.

- Schemes and discounts would be given on bulk purchase by distributors


and may be passed on to the buyer depending upon the volume and
frequency of purchase.

12 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

- Since the product would be placed with leading surgical equipments


distributors and a robust communication of the product would be made at the
opportune segments, the customer would have ease of availability.

4.3. Sales Literature

Brochures of our company would be made which would have a brief account


of our new product 'The Magic Eye'. These brochures would be majorly seen
at ophthalmologists’ clinic, chemist shops and shops related to eye
accessories, magazines etc. A large portion of our budget would be spent on
hoardings in metropolitan cities so that consumer is made aware of the
product. A huge amount would also be spent on Television
advertisements so that mass number of people could be targeted at the
same time.      

4.4. Sourcing

The Magic Eye will import most of the machinery and raw materials. Two
second hand machineries would be purchased from Bolton Company
situated in U.K for around Rs.80lacs. First machine will be of Rs.30lacs,
which will be used for making lens for the eye. And the second machine
worth Rs.50lacs will be used for making the structure of eye. A loan of Rs.
80lacs would be taken from two of the local banks, HSBC and HDFC, and
both the machineries would be kept as mortgage in the banks. Other
equipments like camera and transmitter would also be purchased from
Bolton for Rs. 8000 and Rs7000. For the plastic, for making lens and outer
body of the product, a tie up would be done with the Bausch and Lomb
company which would cost around Rs 6000 and 5000 per piece and finally
the chip which is made of titanium would be manufactured in our own
company for Rs. 30,000 per piece. Proper relations would be made with the
suppliers by paying them the amount at the right time.

4.5. Technology

Biology and engineering plays a major innovative role in creating a prosthetic


treatment for blindness. A team of neurologist, retinal surgeons and

13 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

physiologists, retinal anatomist, cortical physiologists, computational


neuroscientist, higher cortical plasticity researchers, microfabrication experts,
materials scientists, microcircuit designers, software engineers and
metallurgist work for a Boston company. This team of experts has come up
with a wireless micro-electronic device which is flexibly ultra-thin. It contains
30,000 transistor stimulator chip which is custom-designed. This device shall
control delivery of electrical pulses to the retina. The advantages of this
device are, firstly, it requires a minimal-invasive surgical method for
implantation. Second, it includes ultra-low power design along with a
geometric design which minimizes the area of hardware that is to be fit into
the surgical eye.

The one goal with which we will move ahead would be to develop an
implantable micro-electronic prosthesis for patients who are blind due to
retinal problems. We have identified a few diseases and will do our best to
treat them which include ‘'age-related macular degeneration'' and ‘'retinitis
pigmentosa''. These are few of the leading causes of blindness in today's
industrialized world. Even with these dilemmas, ample number of nerve cells
remains healthy. These are those cells which connect the eye to the brain.
These healthy cells help in restoring visual rehabilitation with the help of a
prosthesis which will connect to those cells which have visual information
and carry the electrical stimulation to the brain.

This technology of visual prosthesis must get two inputs. First is the
information about the visual signal and second the power for electronics to
work and excite the retina to create corresponding visual image. It is not
practical in long-term implanation to have wires entering the body or
batteries which have a limited lifetime. Therefore it is necessary to direct the
visual signals along with power without wires to the implant. For this wireless
method of communication in our design, we shall use radiofrequency (RF)
transmission.

14 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

Apart from this prosthesis, there will be a camera which will capture a visual
scene and will analyze it in order to convert it into a pattern of electrical
stimulation. The power-data information will be forwarded wirelessly to the
receiving coil placed on the prosthesis. This information drives the
stimulation electrodes. The electrical current passing from these single
electrodes stimulates the cells in the retina that are corresponding to the
features in the visual scene. This process would then allow the person to see
an image through this Magic Eye.

4.6. Working

The working of the Magic Eye will follow a simple procedure. A chip will be
inserted in the eye-ball of the patient and a tiny camera on the outer cover of
the eye. A transmittor will be attached for the camera to capture the image
and transfer it to the chip. The chip will then brighten up like a bulb and the
image will be then reflected on the surface behind the chip from which data
will connect to the brain through the healthy nerve cells in the eye.

5. Market Analysis Summary

Opthal Solutions Pvt Ltd. could see a huge growth in today's fast paced world.
Magic Eye would be focusing on high-technology manufacturers of eye ball. The
target customers will be blind people of higher income group as the product's price
is set high. And also our main target will be high grade hospitals and also well
known Opthal surgeons.

15 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

5.1. Market Segmentation

Marketers could approach the market through market segmentation. It is the


process of splitting targeting customers into different segments. The
segments that are relevant here are demographic, geographic.   

1. Income- The cost of the product will be Rs.80,000 which will be higher
than the usual and therefore the target customer people will be higher
income group as they can afford it.  

2. City- Our product, the magic eye would be initially available in Delhi and


Mumbai (Maharashtra) as they are metropolitan cities and would fulfill d
target customer category,

3. Country- This product will be launched in India, as the population of 


blinds are 3.6 crore which is higher than any other country and therefore
the need of this product is more in India.

5.2. Target Market Segment Strategy

Opthal Solutions would primarily concentrate on its target market, people


who are accidentally blind and are of high income group, good hospitals and
opthal surgeons, as the cost of the product is high. There is a huge
population of 3.6 crore blinds in India. 12% of this population is of high
income group, amongst which the company targets only .02%. Indirect
selling will be done through distributors and retail outlets. In addition to it, a
significant amount of investment will be made in advertising to promote the
product and create product awareness.

5.2.1. Market Needs

Many people were observed blind by birth and by accidents. The proportion
of accident cases are increasing day by day as compared to people who
are blind by birth, therefore the need to make such a product evoked. This
product will be the first to be produced of its kind in India and there is no other
product which can satisfy the need for it.

17 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

5.2.2. Market Trends

We will distinguish ourselves by marketing the product as the product is new,


we will have the first mover advantage so the trends could be set as the way
we want to. Initially the Magic Eye will be only for high income group as the
price is kept high and with no age restrictions. The population of accidental
blind people is most in India and is growing day by day because of the
frequency of accidents increasing. Earlier no such products were developed
here and as technology is increasing at high pace such innovations are
expected. So now the country or rather the world is technology driven and
such innovations are changing trends of the society.

5.2.3. Market Growth

The Opthal Solution Pvt. Ltd. has a total population of 36,000,000 people. Out
of which 12% and above, people are rich that is 4,320,000. If we target only .
02% also, we will target 864 units in a year. We are expecting a growth of
40% increase in sales in the coming 2 years. India needs approximately of
2.5 lacs donated eyes every year from which all the eye banks could only
collect 25,000 eyes and out of which 30% cant be used. Even the eye
surgeries in India have increased from 3% in 1994 to 42% in 2002.

5.3. Industry Analysis

Medical equipments has been a growing industry in past and is still growing
because of technological innovations. The medical industry is constantly
growing at 23.3% every year which increases the growth of the companies.
In the case of Magic Eye, there will be no such competitors in this industry in
India, therefore the market share will be captured by Magic Eye alone which
in turn increases the growth of the industry.

5.3.1. Industry Participants

There will be no participants in the manufacturing equipment for surgical


industry in India which will produce the same product as The Opthal Solutions
Pvt.Ltd. does. Therefore the company will have its monopoly.

18 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

5.3.2. Distribution Patterns

In the case of our company, there will be one manufacturing unit in Pithampur
and two distributing units which will be in Delhi and Mumbai. It will be a form
of indirect marketing in which the consumers will buy the product from the
distributors. The transportation from the manufacturing unit to the distributors
will be given to Gati.

5.3.3. Competition and Buying Patterns

As the competition is less in this market therefore the customers will be left
with less alternatives. Looking at the disadvantages and advantages of the
eye transplant, customers would prefer Magic Eye instead of transplant.
Some of the features of our product 'The Magic Eye' will be:-Firstly, it will be
less expensive and will take less time as compared to the eye transplants.
Also the structure of eye will be made in such a way that it will suit all kinds of
human bodies.

5.3.4. Main Competitors

As such there will be no other competitor available in the market which will
produce the same kind of product. But still there are eye transplants being
done by the opthal surgeons, which will be the only competitor for the Magic
Eye. The advantage of the eye transplant is that it is perfectly attached in the
eye hole and it looks as if it is the natural eye. And the disadvantages include
time constraint, higher cost, and most importantly the eye fixed may not suit
the body. So there will be no threat to our product as the advantages of our
product will be more as compared to the transplant.

6. Strategy and Implementation Summary

The company's strategy would be to target people who have higher standard
of living and could pay high for such medical issues. These target audiences
will be approached through brouchers, print media and telecommunication.

19 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

More to this, there will be hoardings in metros and special interactive


seminars conducted by well-known eye specialists.  

6.1. SWOT Analysis

The SWOT analysis gives the company an opportunity to test the internal
strengths and weaknesses of the company. It also examines the
opportunities which are there for the company and also the threats to the
company.

6.1.1. Strengths

The strength's of the Magic Eye is as follows -

 First Mover Advantage : This product would be first of its kind


in India and would be a unique idea, therefore it is one of the
biggest strength of the Magic eye.
 Location : The location of manufacturing unit of the company
would be in Pithampur (SEZ Sector), which is an industrial area.
This sector has many advantages explained earlier, which
inturn becomes the strength of the company.
 Clear vision of the maket need :  The Opthal Solutions Pvt Ltd
knows what it takes to build an eye like the Magic Eye. It knows
the customers, the target market and the technology required to
maintain the quality of the product.

6.1.2. Weaknesses

The company will also have some weaknesses which are as follows -

 High Cost : The cost of the Magic Eye will be high, therefore
only rich people will be able to afford it.
 Low Customer Base : The target market chosen for the Magic
Eye will be very low. The company will only target rich people
and will leave behind the lower and medium income group.  

20 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

 Recognition : One of the major drawbacks of the product will


be that, it will not picture out the clear vision of the person
standing in front of you but will give people a sense of their
ambiance.

6.1.3. Opportunities

There will be some opportunities available with company which will be


as follows:-

 Growing Accidental Cases : Growing of accidental blind is a


big problem in today's world, therefore the demand for the
Magic Eye will increase. This can be taken as an opportunity by
the company.

6.1.4. Threats

The only threat to the company will be that – seeing this product and
technology, many people would try and come in the market with
different technology and compromise with the price and quality.

6.2. Competitive Edge

The Magic Eye competitive edge comes from the advantage of being a first
mover and also having relationships with Bolton company. Untill now no
other company has innovated such a product in India and the only other
alternative available is the eye transplant which is costlier and takes time.
Moreover the quality, features, its relationships with other distributors and
transporters and latest technology will also be the reasons which will give the
competitive edge to the Magic Eye. 

6.3. Marketing Strategy

The marketing strategy of our company will target its customers by the use


of print media through brochures and technical magazines. Brochures can
be picked up from doctor's clinic, chemist shops and eye accessory
shops. The marketing of the product will also be done by telecommunication

21 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

as mass number of people is targeted. It also plans to put up hoardings in


metropolitan cities and sponsor lectures by famous and renowned eye
specialists so that people get aware of the product. The company will hire an
advertising company to consult. Our product will be a high quality and
expensive product and will be especially for the people who are blind
accidently. It will be a high technology product and will target high income
group. Our marketing strategies will mainly target the needy and give the
right information to right people as the product will be high priced and many
middle income and lower income group won’t be able to afford it. Therefore
we will make it sure that people who can afford it, will know about its
existence and use it.

6.3.1. Pricing Strategy

As the product is a technical innovation and the company believes in


giving the best quality the price will be a little high, about Rs. 80,000.
There will be no other competitors present in the market therefore the
price can be kept the way company wants. Also according to
researches done by researchers it has been proved that people do
connect price with quality, and higher the price; higher is the quality.
The pricing (per unit) has been kept according to the following
expenses -

1.RAW MATERIAL:

CAMERA- Rs.3200

TRANSMITOR- Rs.2000

CHIP(IMPORTED)- Rs.30,000

LENS and PLASTIC FOR OUTER BODY- Rs.4000

2.VARIABLE COST- Rs.16,800

3.FIXED COST(MONTHLY)- Rs.716,833

22 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.

6.3.2. Distribution Strategy

Initially the product will be available only in Mumbai and Delhi and no
other places and people who would want to use this product could
collect it from either of the places and get it fit with the help of
specialized and trained doctors. The company will tie-up with GATI for
transporting the product from the manufactured centre to the outlet.
Distribution channel will not be preferred as it will increase the cost.
The product will be made at pithampur and then will be sent to the
