About the Company and Product:

From the last few months or year, we can clearly understand the fact that there is one and only one industry which is forever and never ending that is Medical industry. In the situation of corona pandemic, when the whole world was, at a sudden stop. In that period also their was only one category of people who were continuously making profit and that were of medical department. And one thing that is very clear from that, is this industry is a very profitable and important industry. So, if someone is thinking of a startup idea then without a doubt he or she will definitely strike ideas of medical field. And here is one of them and a very new and innovative one, “BLOOD BASKET” which not only provides you the opportunity to get blood at any time but also to donate it for the very needy people at suitable time.

Market Demand:

If somebody ask you that what is the most important things or material required for a operation, your answer must be that it depends on the type of operation, that where it is of eyes,heart,legs,etc. But one things that is nearly used or required in urgent cases is Blood. And in this pandemic also this is been proven many a times, many people were required blood and plasma in urgent situation for being alive. Many a times they got it and save their lives. But many were failed. So, in this time, this idea will proof the worth of its own.

Relevant Products in the Market:

Now definitely there are many products or apps already present in the market like Mfine, MediBuddy, and of red cross society. So, the question arises that what is new or why to use this one??? We will definitely discuss Answer of this part but in later section.

Target Customers:

The most important and reasonable question or point is that how many people or institutions are benefitted by this. And who fascinating would be the answer if it is “why not all” . In todays world it is not wrong to say that every next person is affected by some or the other medical problem. If we talk of accidental cases or diabetic patient or a sugar patient or excessive blood loose in each and every case blood requirement on urgent cases is required. So, it is not wrong to say that the demand the of this is never gone to stop.

Required Knowledge or Expertise:

To build a app definitely you should have knowledge of programming, you should have expertise in core python. And that is not enough knowledge on web frameworks, object relational mapping, skills of data scientists, artificial intelligence and machine learning skill. Good understanding of multi-process architecture and analytical skills. With the, familiarity with ORM libraries, and most important basic understanding of front-end technologies like HTML5,CSS3,JavaScript.

Innovation:

Like in the earlier section we talk that there are many apps already running in the market so what is new in this one. If we take an example of red cross society then many a times have didn’t have that particular blood group or can’t able to supply. So, the new features in this one will be that firstly all people should sign up in it. Then suppose you are in Lucknow and in urgent you required A+ blood. So, now the system will preferably search people in Lucknow and notify all the people who have logged in and having A+ blood group that this person need blood. Or if we collaborate with societies like red cross or life care, then the system can search for the particular blood group their also. So by this there is a very high probability that the person which need help will get it. As if we consider the chance that there is not a single person with A+ blood group in Lucknow definitely which have signed up then we have a backup that we can ask these institutes. And as more and more people will signup give us then definitely it is no doubt it is a very helpful and successful idea.

Marketing Plan:

It is very important to advertise a application as it is the only way to inform people about app or application. To have a bidirectional profit that is both should have a profitable deal the customer and us. So the user should have a complete information to get the 100% benefit.

For marketing firstly we can visit some doctors and tell them about the application and then take their help for advertisement, as with the help of doctor’s prescription it will be easier for us to pursue people for using our app. We can use Instagram paid adds with filters.

Estimated Budget:

Budgeting is a very important part of any project or application building. To have a appropriate thought that how much amount will be required for specific purpose is definitely required. In this mainly, for development UI & UX it required nearly 3000/- to 4000/- Rs/hour which will turn into nearly 60,000to70,000/-Rs. And to upload it on Play Store it nearly 25$ and on app store 99$ for 1st time.

Risk Analysis:

As a coin has two faces, similarly for every thing there is a possibility that it is successful or failed. To be positive is a good thing but definitely one should have a backup plan so that in case the plan does not work out then immediately with out any stress or negative feeling we will stand still and confident. In this case particular, there is a very rare chances of failure as I talked earlier blood is a essential thing the demand of this is never ending. So if people only did not accept it then it can be failed.

Milestone and Timeline:

To think then to do research then to imply it is definitely a long process. For example if we though of loosing weight then firstly we think that Yes !! I have to loose weight and make our mind. Then we take advise or google on how to and what all to do for loosing weight. Then we make a to do list. And finally, we start on our moto. But, this is not only the thing, it is not like that as you start doing things the next day you will get the result. No it takes some times. Similarly, if we think that the day we imply or launch the application we will get a good or successful review then it is not like that. We should have patience and courage to face whatever the primary response is. Firstly on research and making a raw structure it definitely takes a month or little bit more. Then in programming and developing will nearly takes 2 to 3 months. And then to visit doctors and societies will take another month. And then after getting a recognition and success sky is the limit..
