Company Ownership The company will have a number of outside private investors who will own 27% of the company's shares. The rest will be owned by the senior management including Kumar Nishi Bhushan, (22%), Ms. Nupur Gupta (12%), Mr. Kumar Bibhuti (12%), Ms. Chavi Chawala (8%) and Sonal Chauhan(7%). All other financing will come from loans.

Organization Structure: The BSS would have the following organization structure:

The Market India accounts for over 40% of the global BPO market. Of the top 10 BPO destinations in the world, five are in Asia, with India's dominant share ensuring that nearly 26% of South Asia's exports come from services. Within services, the key segments are business process outsourcing and short- term migration. The BPO industry in India doubled in size last year, to $6.3 billion, and is expected to clock 37% annual growth over the next five years. Large multinational companies have demonstrated their growing confidence in Call Center Outsourcing and in India as an outsourcing hub, by signing multi-million-dollar, long-term BPO contracts with trusted Indian outsourcing service providers. BSS plans to enter into two market segments. First, we will work in the medical services industry since they have a high need to maintain contact with their patients at all times. We will also be working as a first level help desk for a number of small high-tech companies, and be taking on short-term projects such as surveys from small clients.

Market Analysis Summary The telemarketing industry is a growing industry with most companies having an annual growth between 6.5% and 8%. This is due to businesses that are becoming increasingly aware of the need for market information and the desire to reduce customer turnover rates in a hard hit economy. A significant trend in this industry is the growing number of clients who wish to outsource telemarketing functions to client companies instead of developing such infrastructure in-house. This makes for an excellent opportunity for BSS. However, long-term analysis of growth rates in this industry show a cyclical pattern and BSS does not expect this high growth rate to continue. The telemarketing industry is quite fragmented with companies that vary greatly in size, scope, services offered, and market share. Many companies are general advertising agencies that offer telemarketing services along with a wide range of other consulting services. In addition, many companies, still not realizing the potential advantages of outsourcing, choose to develop their own telemarketing services.

Start-up Summary Start-up assets required are shown in the tables below. This includes expenses and the cash needed to support operations until revenues reach an acceptable level. Most of the company's liabilities will come from outside private investors and management investment. Particulars Expenses Assets Investment Loans In Rs. 25000 145000 1000000 80000

Financial Considerations Start-up assets required are shown in the tables accompanying the Start-up Summary topic. This includes expenses and the cash needed to support operations until revenues reach an acceptable level. Most of the company's liabilities will come from outside private investors and management investment, (through venture capital). However, we have obtained current borrowing from Oriental Bank of Commerce the principal to be paid off in Seven year. We also have a line of credit from ICICI Bank that we can draw upon if need be. The company expects to reach profitability in year two and does not anticipate any serious cash flow problems. We conservatively believe that during the first three years that about three ongoing contracts per month will guarantee a break-even point. We are expecting the following sales figure in first starting three years: Year 1 2 3 Sales (in Rs.) 300000 420000 580000

We are expecting the following net profit in first three years:

Market Segmentation Virtually every company, both large and small requires some form of telemarketing at some point. Often it is a survey to determine customer satisfaction or awareness. Sometimes it is effectively communicating an upcoming event such as a conference. Other companies wish to know if telemarketing is a feasible method of sales generation. One of the new uses for call centers is in first level help desk services. About 75-80% of all technical problems faced by end customers can be solved by non-technical customer service representatives who are familiar with a computer or technical system and who have a scripted set of procedures to solve most common occurring problems. This is where an outsourced call center can save a client a large amount of money and allow a reduction in personnel needed on call 24 hours-a-day. BSS plans to enter into two market segments. First, we will work in the medical services industry since they have a high need to maintain contact with their patients at all times. We also will be working as a first level help desk for a number of small high-tech companies. Mr. Bibhuti and Ms. Nupur have already signed contracts with Shyadri Hospital and Neeta Travel Agency. Our customer service representatives are already in the process of receiving hands-on training from these two organizations to meet their needs. We will also be taking on short-term projects such as surveys from small clients.

Once we have established a good working relationship with these initial clients, we will leverage our reputation and profitability into new contacts and contracts with other local companies. Our ultimate goal is to service the entire west region of India and become the company with a dominant market share. Later, as we expand to a west scope, our future business plans will include all of our potential clients in this area.

Competition and Buying Patterns Competition Competition includes all potential call centers and telemarketing agencies across the country. In addition we have indirect competition from organizations that handle all their telemarketing inhouse. Practically speaking, this means we have the greatest threat from the largest telemarketing agencies such as V-customer, Yellow Box, Page Point and other big, nationwide call center companies that hold significant market share. The call center industry is highly fragmented, with a large number of small companies that mainly cater to small firms and a few large companies that seek the largest contracts from companies such as Ranbaxy, Kingfisher, and Marriott Hotel etc. This makes competition within the industry very intense. Through our focused strategy of serving niche markets such as help desk services, we intend to avoid such a debilitating environment and avoid its drawbacks such as price wars, and etc. Buying patterns and needs Companies usually enter into contracts with call center firms based on their reputation of professionalism and effective campaigns in the past. This reputation is difficult to obtain by new firms unless its personnel bring it with them from previous companies such as ours. Price and scope are also important reasons for accepting contracts, especially if the company is small.

Strategy and Implementation Summary Bhushan Solicitation Services' business strategy is to enter into a focused approach to its services rather than being everything to its clients. Our company does not intend to be a telemarketing consultation firm, nor will it ever become so. We are a call center firm that simply implements telemarketing campaigns or help desk functions for its clients. These services are where we can offer a higher standard of quality to our clients. This will allow us to charge a higher profit margin for these differentiated and more focused services. Marketing Strategy BSS has already concluded two contracts with local companies requiring 24 hour call center services. These will provide us with initial revenue and the chance to build our reputation. Our company intends to use testimonials from such clients to build further contracts. We have begun to establish our presence using various marketing methods such as flyers, cold calls, B2B contacts, and we will be attending conventions and other events as well.

Sales Strategy BSS's management will be focusing on leveraging its employee's established reputations and contacts in the telemarketing industry to generate contracts. Both Mr. Bibhuti and Mr. Kumar Nishi have been in the industry from three years and experience shows that many of their existing clients will still wish to work with them despite having to establish a new contract with BSS. We also understand that we may need to lower costs in our first couple of years in order to attract new customers and close deals. In addition to our first contracts with Shyadri Hospital and Neeta Travel agency, Mr. Bibuti and Ms. Nupur has been actively seeking to acquire a large contract with Marriott hotel. This company is the largest event organizing firm on the West coast and has been seeking a call center firm for a customer survey project to be launched in the near future. BSS believes that its chances for acquiring this contract are excellent. Sales Forecast Sales are based on the various contract projects we anticipate acquiring in the various market segments. Revenues are based on average costs per project/contract based on estimated time and
10

complexity of contract plus and undisclosed profit margin. The company does not have any significant direct costs of sales. We anticipate that our most attractive target markets, medical services and help desk clients will provide us with significant early revenue. As time goes on, and we acquire more customers, the percentage of short-term and other projects will increase.

Management Summary The company will have four officers including our president, Mr. Kumar Nishi Bhushan. Our head of operations will be Mr. Kumar Bibhuti , plus 12 customer service representatives. Finances and general admin will be handled by Ms. Chavi Chawala. The company plans to hire additional service representatives and administrative personnel as we begin to get large numbers of contracts. Personnel BSS's management brings to the company strong capabilities in contract negotiation, project management, telemarketing, and a unique combination of skills drawn from other businesses.

Financial Plan Our financial plan anticipates two years of negative profits as we gain sales volume. We have budgeted enough investment to cover these losses and have an additional credit line available if sales do not match predictions.

Important Assumptions We are assuming approximately 75% sales on credit and average interest rates of 10%. These are considered to be conservative in case our predictions are erroneous. General Assumptions Year 1 Plan Month Current Interest Rate Long-term Interest Rate Tax Rate Other 1 10.00% 10.00% 30.00% 0 Year 2 2 10.00% 10.00% 30.00% 0 Year 3 3 10.00% 10.00% 30.00% 0

12

Break-even Analysis Our break-even analysis is based on the assumptions that our gross margin is approximately 100%. In other words, we will have insignificant direct cost of sales. Since each contract will be of different scope, length, and complexity, it is difficult to assign and average per unit revenue figure. However, it is conservatively believed that during the first three years, average profitability per month per segment will be moderate. This is because we will be dealing with smaller companies at first that have smaller contracts. We expect that about three ongoing contracts per month will guarantee a break-even point.
