RoboRebels Bussiness Pitch for all members

Business Pitch

1. My Business pitch

2. What is the problem ? Over 5% of the world's population – or 430 million people(63 million in India) – require rehabilitation to address their disabling hearing loss (including 34 million children). It is estimated that by 2050 over 700 million people – or 1 in every 10 people – will have disabling hearing loss. This is one of a big problem that needs to be solved.

3. There are about 70 million deaf-mute people which is about 1 % of total population. There are many problems deaf-mute people face. One of the greatest problems is understanding sign language. Deaf-mute people use sign language which the common people do not understand and the language of common people is not understood by the deaf-mute. Hearing aid devices are present in the market but are too costly for the common people.

4. There is a boy named Shubh who is a part of team RoboRebels . His grandfather has hearing problems. He had problems to communicate with the common people. He had to buy a hearing aid device as there was no option. It was too costly. After buying it, it became easy to communicate but within 6 months it went bad. He asked Shubh for the solution. Shubh told us the problem. Jagadhaesh told to use the learnings of our robotic class and make something innovative. Soon Navya came with an idea to create a sign language. All of us created a robot called sign bot one month later. It converted sign language to text, speech and vice versa. This is also used for learning sign language. Just like that there are many problems of deafness in the world that need to be solved.

5. What is the market potential? More than 1.5 billion people worldwide are currently affected by hearing loss in at least one ear.In India 63 million people are affected. Around 430 million people worldwide require rehabilitation for disabling hearing loss. Approximately 13% of adults ages 18 and older experience some difficulty hearing even when using a hearing aid.

6. Prenatal period Genetic factors including hereditary and non-hereditary hearing loss intrauterine infections – such as rubella and cytomegalovirus infection. Perinatal period birth asphyxia (a lack of oxygen at the time of birth hyperbilirubinemia (severe jaundice in the neonatal period) low-birth weight other perinatal morbidities and their management

7. Childhood and adolescence Chronic ear infections (chronic suppurative otitis media) Collection of fluid in the ear (chronic nonsuppurative otitis media) Meningitis and other infections. Adulthood and older age chronic diseases smoking otosclerosis age-related sensorineural degeneration sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

8. *THESE ARE THE CAUSES OF DEAFNESS* Factors across the life span CERUMEN IMPACTION (IMPACTED EAR WAX) TRAUMA TO THE EAR OR HEAD LOUD NOISE/LOUD SOUNDS OTOTOXIC MEDICINES WORK RELATED OTOTOXIC CHEMICALS NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES VIRAL INFECTIONS AND OTHER EAR CONDITIONS DELAYED ONSET OR PROGRESSIVE GENETIC HEARING LOSS

9. Market Segmentation: The deaf community is not homogeneous. There are different segments within it, including those who communicate primarily through sign language, those who use lip-reading or speech, and those who use a combination of methods. Understanding these segments and their specific needs can help tailor the product to different user groups.

10. What are the existing solutions available ? SURGERY HEARING AID DEVICE These are some existing solutions

11. Hearing aids SignBot Only serves the deaf Can serve the mute and the deaf Comparatively very costly Is much cheaper than hearing aid

12. Our Innovation  Our innovation is called the signbot . It acts as a means of communication between the deaf mute and the common people.

13. Why and how is our innovation novel? The unique features of our project is: it is text to image and vice versa it can work for both deaf and mute it displays the word on the robot it can also translate it into Hindi This product should be legally approved as it will make communication easier and also teach sign language.

14. What does our user say ? A user named Jayasrii tested the project. She liked our idea. She wanted us to do it globally. For that we started a youtube channel.

15. What is my business model It tells who will  buy your  innovation, what  price you can  sell them at, and  who you will be  competing with. Deaf -mute people is the target market. Our market size is almost the number of people who are deaf-mute globally We are going to sell it using variable cost so that there is no problem for the people to buy.

16. Initially the price will be higher at about 15000 rupees but the price will gradually get lower after we go at a mass production and it will get lower to about 5000 to 6000 rupees that is what we are target. We are targeting the deaf-mute people Market Segmentation: The deaf community is not homogeneous. There are different segments within it, including those who communicate primarily through sign language, those who use lip-reading or speech, and those who use a combination of methods. Understanding these segments and their specific needs can help tailor the product to different user groups.

17. We will use 10,00- rupees fund for startup. Since we have started a YouTube channel there will be an increase in the fund along with selling and help of family members. We have guarantee of some people who like to have interest in our product. We do not have any exit plan as we will make more products more about world problems. What is the way forward?

18. Create your 30 second elevator pitch Our product is something new. This product gives us accurate solutions. This has many conversions too. Including the deaf we are also going to sell it to NGO school so that the deaf-mute could learn sign languages easily. Our product is easier to carry as it also can be converted into a microchip in future. This point makes our project better than our competitors. For delivery we will make an app so that people can order online. We will get a message so that we can wrap the orders. After ordering we will use a means of transport i.e lorry. 1. 2.
