Executive  Summary  
 
The  project  report  basically  aims  to  put  forward  the  rationale  of  sure-­‐shot  
success  of  establishing  an  online  portal  of  BatchMaker.  In  a  time  when  an  online  
domain  is  the  first  and  most  preferred  place  where  people  search  for  almost  
anything,  it  makes  perfect  commercial  sense  to  offer  such  a  service  to  this  
particularly  large  segment  of  people.  
 
The  project  report  outlines  features  and  services  that  can  be  provided  to  portal  
users.  The  portal  will  be  created  in  a  fashion  so  as  to  be  referred  to  as  the  only  
authentic  and  completely  informative  website  on  educational  group  buying.  The  
aim  is  to  develop  a  system  that  encompasses  all  the  facets  related  to  educational  
group  buying  and  to  establish  a  common  platform  for  interaction  and  
communication  between  users  and  service  providers  throughout  India.  
 
The  portal  though  it  mainly  caters  to  students,  parents,  schools,  colleges,  
coaching  classes,  and  universities;  can  be  portrayed  as  a  place  where  every  
individual  can  find  something  of  interest.

portal  owner  must  ensure  that  data  posted  on  website  is  100%  authentic.
