CHAPTER 2

INTRODUCTION TO
THE COMPANY

11 Summer Internship Project Report


Introduction to the company:
ImpactGuru

ImpactGuru is a donation based crowdfunding platform that offers global crowdfunding solutions for
NGOs, social enterprises, start-ups and individuals. ImpactGuru is a fintech company offering a full
stack crowdfunding solution that combines social, rewards and investment crowdfunding/
fundraising for individuals, non-profits, social enterprises, or start-ups for all their fundraising needs
- be it small or large. It was launched by Maneka Gandhi, Union Cabinet Minister for Women &
Child Development, and Government of India in September 2015.

"An ImpactGuru is someone who envisions change, who finds solutions to social problems, who
steps up to support another change-maker, who makes kindness a habit, who dares to follow his/her
dream, or who simply helps out a friend in need. We believe that each individual holds the power to
effect great change and given the right tools and the right backing, can become an ImpactGuru
himself/herself " ImpactGuru CEO Piyush Jain.

Starting a fundraiser campaign in ImpactGuru is easy. One just has to get started by clicking on the
'Start a Fundraiser' tab on the ImpactGuru website or app, fill in the required details to create the
fundraiser campaign. Using ImpactGuru's story builder feature, one can put up one's cause of raising
money in an appealing way to attract more donors.

Once created, the fundraiser campaign is shared online. The money received from the donors are
transferred to the beneficiary's account after deducting the applicable fee and charges.

12 Summer Internship Project Report


ImpactGuru - Industry Details

India’s private healthcare spends stands at $90 billion a year. Of this, merely one-third is covered by
insurance and the balance $60 billion is met largely with borrowings from friends and family.
Capturing 10% of this segment would mean a medical crowdfunding market of around $6 billion.
This is the segment ImpactGuru is looking to tap.

Healthcare crowdfunding is the most disruptive solution to address this problem. There are no loans
or interest to be paid off when it comes to crowdfunding as funds raised online is considered as a
donation.

ImpactGuru - The Idea of Starting up

The idea began to form in Piyush's mind while he was working with Instilgo, a US based non-profit
organization."When I decided to go to Harvard University, Kennedy School of Government, I found
my calling when I accepted a fellowship with Instiglio, a US non-profit focused on using social
impact bonds to help non-profits scale" ImpactGuru founder Piyush Jain

Besides, while at Harvard, Piyush assisted his Professor in teaching a class on financial management in non-
profit Organizations. He also co-authored a paper on - ‘Non-Equity Financing for Entrepreneurial Ventures’.
For writing the research paper, Piyush had to explore different avenues to finance social initiatives. During
this research, Piyush realized that crowdfunding market in Indian is largely untapped and it is his willingness
to do something in the field of crowdfunding that made him start.

Fortunately, both Khushboo and Piyush shared the same vision. Piyush's knowledge of finance and
technology clubbed with the brand, marketing and communications skill sets of Khushboo had garnered over
the years. It does require a fantastic partnership and they have been very lucky to forge that successfully.

No Platform Fee

ImpactGuru has extended free fundraising to all causes by offering 0% platform fee. It has Mobilized
$200 million/INR.1500 Crores through its platform and global partners, since inception.

Free fundraising is made available to all types of fundraisers who are hosted on the platform - It can
be patients with medical emergencies (Covid-19, organ transplant, cancer) or NPOs/Individual
fundraising program for any causes. By this, ImpactGuru has completely waived off platform fees
with an intention to maximize the funds raised by fundraisers.

In order to sustain the platform and meet operational activities to provide a free fundraising platform,
donors will be asked to provide any amount of voluntary tip.In a joint statement ImpactGuru.com’s
Co-Founders Piyush Jain and Khushboo Jain said, “In the last 5 years, crowdfunding on
ImpactGuru has now become the preferred way for people to finance critical illness bills at hospitals
given the low level of insurance penetration in India. With the extension of our free fundraising
options to all fundraisers, we hope to accelerate our ambition of helping finance the critical illnesses
of over 1 million / 10 lakh patients over the next decade.”

15 Summer Internship Project Report


ImpactGuru - Business and Revenue Model

But how does ImpactGuru make money? It has a highly scalable, asset light, transparent revenue
model. It charges average 8% of total funds raised as its fees with 5% directly being net revenue. It
charges additional fixed fees for premium services such as digital marketing, video, content support.
I was keen on a business model that would add value and meaning to the community. Our vision is to
make sure that nobody in India has to ever struggle to fund their medical treatment due to lack of
money. - Piyush Jain

ImpactGuru - Challenges Faced

Social problems are so immense in India, that often one can get disillusioned by the impact one
creates i.e. whether one’s intervention is moving the needle or not. There are many challenges and
dilemmas that the ImpactGuru team needs to face on a day to day basis. This what Piyush has to say
regarding the issues the team faces-

At ImpactGuru, we often face an ethical dilemma. Private hospitals will not proceed with treatment
without the funds, say of 5 children whom are near death without a critical emergency surgery. It is
an overwhelming feeling as we will be disappointing someone or maybe more as we have limited
resources as an organization and limited donors to reach out to fund each of the 5 surgeries
successfully. How to handle the mental pressure and how to execute the task is the pressing concern.
It’s very important to keep the perspective that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single
step. We thus pick cases where we can have the maximum impact given the short time. We select
cases such as transplant, heart surgeries, cancer rather than dengue, malaria.

16 Summer Internship Project Report


ImpactGuru - Partners

ImpactGuru has a strategic partnership with GlobalGiving.org, the world's largest non-profit
crowdfunding platform based in US and UK in October 2016. It is the only crowdfunding platform
in the world that can offer Indian, US, and UK tax benefits to Indian and international donors.

ImpactGuru has also partnered with Apollo patients nationwide which makes it the preferred
crowdfunding platform for all.

Recently, in early July, 2021 Cure SMA Foundation of India, a public charitable trust has
collaborated with ImpactGuru. The partnership is to support all its registered SMA patients in India.

In April 2016, ImpactGuru partnered with Fundnel, an investment platform based in Singapore. This
partnership allowed ImpactGuru to tap into philanthropic and investment capital from the Indian
diaspora based in Southeast Asia.

In September 2016, ImpactGuru partnered with UN Women (an entity of United Nations) to run
Project Inspire, an initiative to support social entrepreneurs working for women empowerment.

17 Summer Internship Project Report


ImpactGuru - Future Plans

Expanding business in Middle East markets is the next on the cards with the help of some investors
from the region who have recently invested in the company.I’m on a mission to make healthcare
accessible to all and save more lives and cast the ImpactGuru net across geographies.

ImpactGuru - USP

What makes ImpactGuru stand out is that they are the only crowdfunding platform to have their own
story builder to help customers write great stories as it’s a major pain point in the industry today. It
has an AI-supported story builder for medical fundraisers, with a template for all campaigners to
develop their own standardized campaign stories. It’s a first in the world innovation in crowdfunding
globally!

ImpactGuru is also the first crowdfunding player in India to launch a smartphone app for customers.
The app presents the user with a quick view of their fundraiser, thus enabling them to keep track of
the progress of the campaign, get real-time donation notifications and post updates.

ImpactGuru.com has become the largest crowdfunding platform in India for medical expenses. In
total, ImpactGuru has raised around INR 950 Crore from over 2 lakh donors from 150 countries.

CHAPTER 6

S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS

39 Summer Internship Project Report


S.W.O.T. Analysis
Strength:

➢ 5 min fundraiser creation and fast approval


➢ Hands on fundraising assistance
➢ Donations from across the world in multiple currencies
➢ India’s only fundraising mobile app for Android and iOS
➢ Blazing fast with drawls.
➢ They are very flexible plus they have great reach to people. Easy to handle and within 5mins
we can start our fundraiser which is free. The process not so lengthy. For better
understanding they make instant videos and use story bot. because of pandemic they also
free fund raising to all causes by offering 0% platform fees.
➢ Customer service: they provide manager for personal assistance.
➢ Multilingual support- Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Malayalam etc.
➢ Adequacy: you must approve that your campaign is genuine after that you can raised funds.
In 2020, there was a cyber-attack over impact guru,but they fixed the problem by doing
changes in their privacy and ensures that it is completely safe.

Weakness:
➢ An online scam is a fraudulent activity carried out over the Internet by providing
incorrect information to steal money or assets from victims. Online scams are one of the
biggest threats to businesses and governments around the world as they end up with
severe financial losses and mental and emotional harassment of victims.

➢ NGOs in developing countries are most vulnerable to these online fraudsters that offer
not only false promises of arranging grants but also use fake identities of donor
agencies to win their trust.

40 Summer Internship Project Report


Opportunity:
➢ Enhance the recruiting activities.
➢ Look at what is a good referral for the powerful team. Add effective and efficient employees.
➢ Apart from the health care and medical crowdfunding can add creative ideas like-film, music,
art, start- up Funding and many more.
➢ Crowdfunding effects should be positive on the economy.
➢ Fully utilise the power of social network for promotion and connect with crowdsourcing.

Threat:

➢ Earning Trust

Before you go ahead and engage yourself in a crowdfunding campaign in order to raise capital for
your business it is good to ask yourself, how am I going to win the trust of the well-wishers and
donors? How should I make them have faith in me yet I have never recorded any success in business
before?

➢ Your Targets and Deadlines

One big problem with crowd funders is the fact that many end up miscalculating their targets within
a certain time limit. You have to be very realistic with your goals. Investors want real things that
seem to be achievable without any exaggeration.

➢ What If I Fail at My First Trial? Will It Ruin My Reputation?

This is a very critical question that you should actually ask yourself before looking for any platform
to start a campaign. Why? Once you fail, there is likelihood that your reputation will be affected.

SCOPE OF FURTHER
STUDY

42 Summer Internship Project Report


Scope of Further Study
Internship experience plays a vital role for every student to implement their theoretical knowledge
and get a practical knowledge from any organization. A student can implement this internship
experience in his future work area. ImpactGuru gives me the opportunity for gathering practical
experience and preparation of the report. I prepared this report under the super supervision of Prof.
Dr. Kavita Chordiya, Department of Management and Finance, ADYPU-iNurture School of
Management. In this report, the overall view of the Online education system, its mechanism,
working, structures, etc. and other areas of activity is extensively analysed, and the finding is
clarified along with the depth study.

Further scopes could be listed as under:

➢ for analysing comparing the present performance with that of the future.
➢ for introduction of any new concepts into the business and implement it daily.
➢ for determining the places where the business needs to pay attention in the next term.
➢ for conducting surveys from the ImpactGuru Student Fraternity.
➢ and many more…

CHAPTER 8

FINDINGS,
LIMITATION &
SUGGESTION

44 Summer Internship Project Report


Findings
During the internship period, I have learnt a lot about work life in practical, which was not possible
to picture while taking classes. However, this internship opportunity gave me a chance to learn
different skills along with discovering skills, which I did not experienced before. Communication,
interpersonal communication skill, conflict management are considered as people skill. Here I got a
great scope of learning and practicing this skill through written communication with the local as well
as corporate colleagues. Punctuality was highly expected here. All of my colleagues in my
department practiced punctuality and encouraged each other in doing so as well. I learned a great
deal of being punctual and managing time. While maintaining inter-departmental communication, I
learned to maintain professionalism in terms of communicating. In addition, I learned how to act
professional through work, attitude, dress up etc. The lessons I learned here during my internship
was almost exactly, what was share by few faculties in class. This is because theories often do not
match with practicalities. However, according to my findings what we were taught in the class and
the practices that I found at work was neither was exactly the same nor contradictory.

Limitations
Limitations for ImpactGuru could be numerous but to list some, are as follows:

➢ Lack of popularity in the industry.


➢ Less number of faculties present at present.
➢ Lack of an institutional physical infrastructure for in person teaching-learning.
➢ And some more unrecognised limitations which could be affecting the business directly or
indirectly.

45 Summer Internship Project Report


Suggestion
➢ Make use of employee feedback.
➢ Assist your team members in reaching goals.
➢ Encourage relationship among co-workers.
➢ Organize team building exercise.
➢ Hold walking meetings
➢ Be flexible.
➢ As we know its an crowdfunding company which is completely new for us so make people
aware about it in simplest way to gain their trust.

46 Summer Internship Project Report


CHAPTER 9
CONCLUSION

47 Summer Internship Project Report


Conclusion
Overall, this internship was a useful experience. I have gained new knowledge, skills and met several
new people. I achieved several of my learning goals, however for some the conditions did not permit.
I got insight into professional practice. I learned the different facets of working within a professional
crowdfunding institute. I experienced that management principals, as in many organisations, is an
important factor for the progress of projects. Related to my study I learned more about the Online
business integration and marketing of the respective courses provided by the institute. There is still a
lot to discover and to improve. The methods used at the moment are still not standardized and a
consistent method is in development. Furthermore, I experienced that it is of importance that the
education is objective and that you have to be aware of the view of other people. Professional
education is not one sided, but it is a way of sharing knowledge, ideas, skills, and opinions. The
internship was also good to find out what my strengths and weaknesses are. This helped me to define
what skills and knowledge I have to improve in the coming time. It would be better that the
knowledge level of the language is sufficient to contribute fully to projects. After my guide I think
that I could start my working career. At last this internship has given me new insights and motivation
to pursue a career in future.
