across India. The guiding philosophy behind the project is to meet the unmet demand for
training and education at affordable cost by bringing together best trainers, state of art
infrastructure and training seekers. Beneficiaries will not only involve corporate executives
but also students appearing for exams like CA, CFA, CS, CAT etc. Project also involves
parallel implementation of plan.

will come up in first stage and 30 in second stages. Mode of operation will be franchisee
model. Mode of delivery of training will be both class room training through two way
interactive video conferencing.
Business model for the project is high volume low profit. The high volume will be achieved
by large variety of courses and low cost will be achieved by the application of webinar and
interactive video conferencing. Large network of training centers once established will help in
spreading fixed cost per head so we will be able to charge less per candidate.

Method of training is primarily workshop mode. Because of the very good response received
by the institute from the industry now S- Global wants to launch a corporate training centre
providing training in various locations of India.
The objective of project is to develop comprehensive business plan for Pan India level
corporate training centre. Main method of data collection is secondary research although
primary research has also been used at some places. Besides this literature survey and
observation method has also been used. Past data and experience of S- global centre is also
important source of information for our project. Literature on project costing, marketing ,
project management, and business plan provided crucial insight in development of the
project.

Business Concept:
Our Business concept envisages to bridge the gap between the number of training seekers and
institutional capacity in to meet the training requirement in India. To fill this gap we want to
open corporate training centre across India. To begin with we will open training centers in 20
cities in India later on we 30 more centers will come up. Apart from the low number of
training centers the quality of trainers and high cost of training is another bottleneck in
building human resource in India. To meet this challenge we are adopting unique model. We
will recruit top class trainers and to operational cost we will provide training through
webinars and video conferencing. Thus single trainer will be able to provide training to large
number of students at different locations. This will also reduce the cost of franchisees also as
they need not to be present in costly cities. This will also increase access to training by by
reducing cost of trainees as they need not to go some major training centers in big cities.
Further trainees will get more flexibility it will reduce their opportunity cost of training as
well. All this will increase attractiveness of our training programmes.

Operational strategy:
In operation we adopted tree method in which we will have head office in Pune and franchises
across India all we have connect with head office. Franchises manger will manage franchise
8
centre, all franchises mangers intern will report to regional mangers .All regional managers
will be under the Chief Operating Officer (COO). Detail organizational structure will
explained in the human resource section.
Finance strategy:
We planned to operate under franchises model so we should adopt a model which is feasible
to distribute profit among franchises and head office. So we adopted a profit sharing strategy
so that initial investment will done by the franchises then from the first year we will divide
profit in 20:80 ratio between franchises and head office respectively. It will increase in the
proceeding years.
Business model:
The diagram below we explains our main business model. It is low cost strategy as. In fig we
can observe that we positioned our business in between the differentiation and low cost. It
shows our main concept that is to offer our products at very competitive prices compared to
existing competitors. This can achieved by adopting two way interactive videoconference and
webinar facility as delivery channel. This will reduce our operating cost per centre so we can
achieve low cost. We also offer many diversified programs so that we can get more students
and by high volume we can achieve our breakeven at very low price. By adopting this we will
have higher competitive advantage and competitive scope to operate against all competitors.
9
Network:
As we already mentioned we operate in franchise model i.e. head office will be situated in the
Pune and there will be 50 franchises across India, we will select these centers primarily on the
basis of industrial development in these areas, so that our service is easily accessible to our
target market.
Organizational Structure:
Organizational Structure of Head office:
10
In the above figure we have shown our Head Office organizational structure.
Work profile:
Managing director:
Decision makers for all strategy changes
Coordinate with the external and organization environment.
Major stake holder of the company
Chief operating officer:
Operates under the guidance of managing director
Controlling officer of all the function related to our company
Coordinate between the below officer and managing director
11
Department heads:
They will take care of their respective departments.
Infrastructure:
Major Vendors short listed are
All franchisees will have same infrastructure and procurement of infrastructure will be done
centrally so that we can negotiate with vendor because of bulk purchase. Appendix II
contains the list of infrastructure needed for head office and franchisees.
Financial analysis:
12
In any company financial analysis hold most important aspects to run company very
smoothly, to get decision profit or loss decision we have to get both total cost and total
revenue.
Costs of Project:
In our organization structure we divided our total cost into two major aspects i.e. fixed cost
and operation cost. In the fixed cost category we have included the following costs:
1. Infrastructure Cost
Advertisement Cost
Rent Cost
Maintenance Cost
Transportation Cost
Miscellaneous Cost
13
Total cost derived from adding both the cost for particular year. Operation cost is also our
company working capital cost so this will show our working capital need for a particular
financial year.
Revenue model:
Our company will earn revenue through training programmes. Our company revenue will
depend on the number of programmes organized and total number of students enrolled per
batch in the working day professional course training. We have two types of training
programs i.e. week days and weekend days programs.
Weekend programs we have to adopt different model because it will depend on the number
of corporate registered for particular training program. So as we divided these courses, we
have to calculate revenue per course basis then sum up all the revenue to get total revenue for
particular financial year.
We are also planning to start our own consultancy service for the corporate we will generate
income from this category in the succeeding years.
Project costing:
Project costing is very important aspect to start any business because it shows our total initial
investment and working capital. Costing is systematic application of total costing principle to
calculate our investment from the inception because before staring business we should have
complete picture of total cost for particular period of time, so that we can control excessive
cost and change our plan before investment. Another important benefit of project costing is to
allocate different funds according to our need and importance and also by knowing total
project cost we can raise our fund from different source, to approach any fund houses we have
to be ready with our total cost and revenue model.
14
1. Analogous estimation
2. Bottom-up estimation
3. Delphi method
Above methods have both merits and demerits, on this basis we opted for bottom-up
estimation because it is feasible for our estimation. It involves dividing total work into work
breakdown structure (WBS) so then we have to calculate cost for each activity and then add
all individual cost to get final project cost.
Infrastructure cost:
In this we included furniture, electronic and videoconference cost. We first identified quality
suppliers then after we made list of total goods to be supplied by the suppliers then we
collected information of unit cost through quotation based on the information given by the
respective companies, we calculated total cost our infrastructure. We have given all the
respective quotation details in appendix IV.
Operation cost:
Our organization working capital is majorly occupied by the employee’s salary and wages. So
to calculate this cost we adopted simple strategy first we made detailed organization structure
then decided their work profile and based on this we adopted banding type of salary packages
so that same level work profile position will get same salary. We showed it the Appendix V
Advertisement cost:
Advertisement is the main focus for our company publicity so we planned to go with media,
newspaper, web, signboards and pamphlets. As we planning to go for franchises first we have
to attract more franchises and then we can advertise for our products so advertisement cost is
also major cost of operation. It is based on the information gathered from the respective
companies for each category of advertisement.
Transportation cost:
Our company network is diversified across India, so it involves travelling across India.
Managerial level employees have the responsibility to travel across specified region and to
15
observe the operation level of franchises. Monthly meeting will be conducted so that we can
discuss the problem associated with franchises, so that we have to allocate some amount
money for this purpose. Detailed cost sheet is shown in Appendix IV

Professional courses. This will include primarily industrial professionals and students.
Estimation of the market size: There are about 50.63 lakhs workers in private sector. The
broad Occupational pattern of these workers is given below
16
Employment in private sector by broad occupational divisions (2003)
S No Occupational Division Employment
First two categories are important for us forming our target market in corporate world. Out of
2.26 employees in the second category 38.1 thousand are in financial intermediation sector
which can be specifically targeted for financial training.
Apart from this will also target students appearing in courses like CA, CFA, NCFM, FRM
etc. The number roughly corresponds to about 1.5 lakhs per year.

MARKETING MIX:
Product
Price
Place
Promotion
Services Offered:
The term “product” refers to tangible, physical products as well as services. Any products
launched will involves decision to be made:
• Quantity
• Quality
18
• Brand name
• Styling
• Packaging
In this section we will show about our company sevices. Below mentioned subjects are the
main products by our organization.
19
• “Living with Sharks yet Growing Joyfully” – A work life balance
programmes based on NLP and EI.
Price:
We explained our business model will concentrate on the low cost strategy, so by this we will
launch of products at comparatively very low price with respect to our competitors. Low cost
strategy is implemented by using high technology like videoconference across India. Current
situation in the market is all training institution have separate centres across India and they
have to incur high operating cost so by this they have fix there product at high price to gain
profit. So our institution identified the gap exist in the market adopted a novel concept of web
conference type of training methods those methods are prevail in the outside of country so we
introduce this concept to our business model. Main important pricing decisions are:
Pricing strategy:
Our company pricing strategy is penetrating strategy as because in this training sectors
process of changing in the content and technology will be in slow pace so we adopted this
policy because we wanted to stabilize our products in the market for very long run.
Price discrimination:
As our company is offering diversified products we have to discriminate with the products
and with respect to competitors’ price. Discrimination is based on the content and quality of
the product not on any vague principal.
Promotion:
Our company adopted diversified way of promotion principle to promote our products. We
explained this in detail in marketing communication section.
Place:
20
This will indicate the availability of products at different places. In India place matter because
of lack proper transportation facility across India so our organization planned to locate our
training institution across India in the franchises model. The place we selected based on the
industry density and exposure so that our products will get good response. We selected about
50 centers across India.
BARRIERS:
As we explained out total business model it involves high capital cost for starting this type of
business. Capital cost like IT infrastructure and operation cost like videoconference service
cost will account more.
As this totally new concept in the market it involves high initial cost to penetrate into market
so that we can reach expected customers. As we planned to go for media and print media also
so it involves huge investment at the starting period.
In education and training sectors is totally service sectors which has high competitors in
market but in our case as we already have experience and database of customers so our
product and also we have recognized our brand in the market so we have very little impede
compared to other organization.
It is totally fragmented market i.e. as our target segments are professional and corporate
segment they have totally diversified wants and need so we have to total plan of deciding
products to offer so that it will fulfill their needs. In the current industry environment each
industry needs are totally differentiated so it makes a challenges to plan a unified plan or a
product so that it will decrease of cost and increase profit.
21
In India a major problem is the qualified trainers in the specified place and time so we
adopted videoconference model so that we can fix this problem. By using this we can
accommodate time and place at a time.
