TEXT PART 1. Executive Summary
This business plan has been prepared to obtain financing in the
amount of Rs 5888750 to complete the product development, set up manufacturing and implement an aggressive sales and marketing program. Autosave Switches Pvt Ltd. is a new company which has developed an automatic electronic light control product called Autosave Switch for consumer, commercial and industrial applications with a potential market of over ------ million over the next 5 years. The new product, which is called "Autosave Switch" will automatically turn lights on and off when the ambient light in a room reaches a predetermined level. The increasing concerns about security, personal safety, energy conservation and the general trend towards automation has created a market for devices which reduce or eliminate the problems associated with manual control of lighting systems. Homes, offices, factories, hospitals, schools, public buildings and construction sites are only a few of the more obvious applications. Autosave Switch will be particularly valuable in remote or unattended locations.

5. The Product Information Autosave Switch is an automatic electronic switch for controlling electric lights. The complete assembly is the same size and shape as a standard walltype electric light switch and is designed to replace the wall switch using
the same standard mounting screws and electrical wiring. No modifications to the mounting or wiring is required. Autosave Switches Pvt Ltd. consists of an optical sensor which detects the amount of light in the room and an electronic circuit which operates a sensitive relay for turning the lights on and off. The sensitivity of the light detecting circuit can be set to one of three preset levels depending upon the type of application (i.e. to maintain a minimum acceptable light level for normal vision in an office; to turn the lights on under partially subdued ambient light conditions; or to switch the lights on only under extremely low light levels). The adjustment control is easily accessible on the face plate of Autosave Switch. A manually operated switch is also available on the face plate of Autosave Switch to disable the automatic control and enable Autosave Switch to be used as a standard manual on/off light switch. A unique feature in Autosave Switch is the extremely sensitive and reliable light sensing circuit. The Bright-Guard product is not patented. However, a detailed description of the product and design drawings have been witnessed and dated by a notary public and two independent electronic engineers.
6. Product Development
An engineering prototype model of Autosave Switch has been
developed to prove the concept and basic design of the product. The engineering prototype satisfactorily demonstrates the technical feasibility and basic operation of the product. The following is a list of additional engineering development work that is required before the product is ready for mass production.

9. Sales Plan
The sales program for the first year will concentrate on developing the North Indian market. The North Indian sales program will commence within six months after the finance is available . The sales organization will be divided into two groups: •
Consumer sales
•
Commercial/Industrial sales
➢ The consumer sales group will concentrate on developing a dealer network (retailer) that will sell the product to the consumer. ➢ The initial sales efforts will concentrate on the national department store chains, national lighting outlets, hardware store chains. ➢ In general, each of the above retailers uses a central purchasing department for all outlets in India. ➢ The commercial/industrial sales group will also require two full time sales people to concentrate initially on developing a wholesale distributor network with a least 12 distributors in north India and 6 distributors in the south India. ➢ The distributors will have access to the major electrical contractors, engineering firms and electrical suppliers in their respective areas.
➢ A secretary and a sales order clerk will provide sales support for both the consumer sales group and the commercial/industrial sales group. ➢ A simple but effective advertising campaign will be implemented to support the sales efforts. Consumer advertising will consist of monthly advertisements in publications such as T.V. Guide, Business India and Economic Times. Half page advertisements will be placed in two monthly trade publications with a large circulation to the electrical contracting and plant maintenance markets in India.
