ABOUT THE SHOW-'SYNOPSIS/RULES/CONCEPT' - Page 2

MANISH GUPTA, Mumbai
After completing his science graduation, Manish came to Mumbai to pursue management. After completing his MMS from Wellingkar's Institute, Manish co-managed a manufacturing unit for a while, before starting his own set-up.

An ambitious businessman, Manish Gupta is at the helm of an export enterprise called Jindal Exports, involving horse saddles and other accessories


IDEA:
Manish's idea is to make special laminated panel from recycled paper that can replace the use of wood in packaging.
He was previously involved in a packaging business and therefore, has a sound knowledge in the field. This special laminated panel, which was made from recycled paper to replace wood in packaging, was tried and tested a year ago when he did packaging with a defence material research organisation. This idea only needs financial backing.

MOHD.ALI ISMAIL , Mumbai
Ali finished his schooling from St. Mary's, Kolkata and then his graduation from K P College with a degree in Commerce. With the help of aid from his friend Tabish, Ali completed an E-Business Application Developer program from IBM while simultaneously also doing various jobs to earn money.

When Ali first came to Mumbai, he had only a Rs-500 note in his pocket. He now dreams of making it big and making crores with his big idea


IDEA:
Ali's idea is to set up a company exclusively for optic fibre splicing. This process is being done individually or on a smaller scale but there is no company that's doing it on a big scale.

NAHID BARI, Mumbai
Nahid is pursuing her MBA from BGIMS - Mumbai. She lost her father, who was her inspiration, recently. Nahid dreams of having her own business soon


IDEA:
Nahid's idea is to run mobile vans (Roti-Van) that will sell a variety of fresh, hot rotis across the city.

NANDINI HIRIANNIAH, Chandigarh
Worked with NGOs to promote street theatre and social awareness about AIDS/HEPATITIS and family planning. She is married.

Nandini's idea is to run a chain of juice bars that will offer tasty, nutritious juices at affordable prices. The juice bar will be trendy and will cater to all sections of people from a from a posh business man to a rickshaw-wallah. Hygiene and top property will be top priority.

PARTHA GHOSH, Kolkata
Partha finished his schooling from Mitra Institution and his graduation with Chemistry honors from the Ram Krishna Mission. Instead of taking up the family business of manufacturing iron water tanks, Partha wanted to join the National School for Fashion Technology (NIFT) to study commercial design. As fate would have it, he wound up doing neither. After a chance meeting with the owner of Transasia, Partha joined the shipping company as a management trainee for a month.

He's currently the Sales Manager, Eastern Region, of TransAsia a shipping company


IDEA:
Partha's idea is to sell good mineral water in small cups on a mass scale. In most places in India, one easily finds bottles of mineral water, which only some people can afford. The concept of selling water in cups evolved when Partha worked as a sales trainee and was on sales calls everyday, spending a good number of hours on the roads. If Partha has his way, you will be able to buy a glass of mineral water for a minimal cost of approximately Re 1 or Rs 2. The used glass can be returned to the attendant. The idea seriously evolved in the year 2000 and a 4-day test run was done as well.

PRAKASH MUNDHRA, Pune
Prakash wants to start a chain of retail stores that will exclusively sell puja samagri material.


IDEA:
I targeted the puja samagri material market – that is the material you require when you go to a big temple. It is a commodity market now, which I wanted to change into a branded market. At present, when you go to a temple and you have to buy puja material, you don't know the brand, so you have to rely on the retailer. The retailer could be bad; he could charge you extra money. So I wanted to create a national brand for puja material so that when you go to a temple you ask for material of my brand.
