What is a ‘Business Model’?
A business model is a company’s plan for how it will generate revenues and
make a profit. It explains what products or services the business plans to
manufacture and market, and how it plans to do so, including what expenses
it will incur.
To put together a good business model, you need to know the value
proposition for the business. A value proposition is a straightforward
statement of what a company offers in the form of goods or services that is
of value to potential customers or clients, ideally in a way that differentiates
the company from its competitors.
A business model should also include projected start up costs and sources of
financing, the target customer base for the business, marketing strategy,
competition, and projections of revenues and expenses. One of the most
common mistakes leading to the failure of business start-ups is a failure to
project the necessary expenses to fund the business to the point of
profitability, i.e., the point in time when revenues exceed expenses.
All a user had to do was, add money once to Mobikwik wallet which later
could be used multiple times across functions, services, and service
providers to make payments. By this way, one could easily reduce the risk of
exposing card details or bank account details at multiple merchants.
They initiated the model with voice services like prepaid recharge for all
operators across India, data services (GPRS/3G top-ups) and plug n play
mobile applications.
Now the other thing they realized was that most of the mobile services used
to function on a ‘push’ model basis that means the operator would push
down the services to customers and then the customer would select what
they want. But customers did not have the freedom to proactively go to look
for their preference; hence, limited choices and lower quality services.
The next obvious task for the company was to marketing. But just like every
other start-up with a tight budget, they were forced to be very calculative on
where they spent their money. Hence, word of mouth was one of the only
marketing techniques they could opt for, apart from social media of course.
Since then, there has been no looking back for them and their growth has
been tremendous.
PRODUCT DIVISION

launches various offers to convert it into sales. At present, the Facebook
business page has around 7.9 lakhs fans and Twitter witness over 55K
followers. With the lucrative and attracting contents and videos posted
frequently, the company has used effectively the social media platforms.

said, adding that the conclusion of the transact.

has 55 million users and 1.5 million merchants and claims to be growing at
250% year-on-year.
Post conversion of the CCPS, Bajaj Finance would hold about 10.83 per cent
of equity in MobiKwik. The conclusion of the transaction is subject to
fulfilment of certain conditions in due course. Interestingly, last month,
MobiKwiks rival and Snapdeal owned FreeCharge was sold to Axis Bank in
an Rs 385 crore deal.

Wide merchant coverage.
Strategic partnership with Payback inks.
Strong distribution and sales networks.
Strong domestic market.
Cisco, Amex & Tree line invested $25 million in MobiKwik.
Weakness
Opportunity
Threat
In last six months, the companies faced several terrorist related issues
in many areas of Bangladesh which occurs due to the poor security
facility of the country. If this incident continues, than the consumers
and local agents will lose the interest of having this service which will
be a huge threat.
There are some other Banks of India who are recently offering the
similar service to the market with new offers and facilities, if the
company can’t take the necessary steps to defense the competition
than they will have a threat of losing market share.
ABOUT THE
FOUNDER
About the Founder
Bipin began his career soon after he completed his engineering from the
Indian Institute of Technology; Delhi in 2002.He started his first job as a
Senior Design Engineer at Intel in the same year. In his 3 year stint at Intel,
he was in-charge of handling the Whitefield project which was also known
to be Intel’s first server micro-processor design, wherein he his tasks
included developing comprehensive hardware design experience.
One thing was clear in his head was that, he was meant for something big
and better, so then the only two things left in his mind were either to go and
pursue his MBA or start-up something of his own. But he took the latter
option and began envisioning his entrepreneurial venture.
And that is where it all began!
Now that he had it all – the business skills, the technical skills and usability
in his bucket, he chipped in a seed capital of around Rs.8 lakhs from his own
pocket, to begin the project. Most of the investment was spent on the main
surrounding factors like infrastructure, website, payment options, office
space, etc. And finally in 2009; founded MobiKwik!

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS
AND
SUGGESTIONS
CONCLUSION
MobiKwik on Android is better that most of the online options available. But
it’s not the best mobile payment application out there. The unpleasant UI and
the sole dependence on MobiKwik wallet as a payment option can be a turnoff
for those who just want to do a quick recharge.
The offline payments are a big draw of using MobiKwik though. For instance,
Cafe Coffee Day accepts payments via MobiKwik, and the process is fairly
simple. Once you’re ready to pay your bill, just tell the staff that you will be
paying using the MobiKwik App, and give them your phone number. Whenever
we tried this, an OTP was sent to the phone and once you give that to the
cashier, the payment is done without any delay. The whole process was not any
longer or more complicated than using a debit card, and entering a PIN.
The one thing that is missing in the app is a section that shows you nearby
offline stores, or tells you if you’re near a store that will accept MobiKwik
payments. It is not widespread enough to assume that anyplace you visit will
support MobiKwik, so telling users to find out where it can be used would have
been helpful.
Pros:
One time recharge to MobiKwik wallet lets you pay for different services
Much faster than online counterparts
Supports every major credit/debit card and Net banking
Fast interface
At 204KB the app is amazingly lightweight on storage and on memory.
It remembers the details like Mobile No. or Viewer No. for DTH so you
don’t have to enter it every time.
Cons:
Most of the services are available here. But the coverage of Life insurance and
gas bill is too limited. We would certainly like more areas and providers added
to the list over time. For a list of all the supported services, visit their Website.
The interface isn’t the prettiest to look at. In this era where a lot of developers
are embracing the beautiful and minimalistic Holo guidelines provided by
Google, MobiKwik looks like something you would run on your old Nokia
N96. When it comes to getting the job done, it passes with flying colors. But
something more pleasing to the eyes would be appreciated.
