Q.5) Ajit is 30, newly married and a successful actor in the Indian film industry. Right from his struggling days, Ajit always saved a part of his income and invested in safe instruments like fixed deposits. However, during the internet boom in the late 90’s and early 2000, he successfully invested in equities and mutual funds. Ajit thought that he was always well-diversified but when the internet stock bubble burst in 2002, Ajit lost a majority of his stock portfolio. A major mistake he made was that even though he was diversified, he invested only in tech-stocks. Ajit has always had a penchant for technology from his young age and thus he usually ended up buying tech stocks and funds. Currently, Ajit suffers from the snake-bite effect and thus he is not willing to participate in the equity market at all. Ajit, now misses the high returns that his portfolio had earned during the internet boom days. He has come to you to seek your suggestions to help his portfolio generate higher returns.

Based on the above information answer the following:

Q.5) Ritu is a first year MBA student who is always missing her Garam Masala Chai and Samosas made by Sevkram’s Mobile Restaurant in her hometown of Bhopal. She approaches Sevkram with a business partnership proposal to open a similar mobile restaurant in Ambavad near her college. Sevkram is horrified. He is not willing to invest in a city that is unfamiliar to him and is more than a thousand kilometers away. However, he has known Ritu for many years as she had patronized his restaurant for years and had never asked for payment credit and had always paid cash. Thus, he offers her his secret formulas in return for 5 per cent of gross revenues that she can make creating products using his formulas. Ritu gladly accepts the deal.

She creates samples of Chai, Samosas, Cold sandwiches and Idlis using Sekram’s secret formula and serves them to her classmates. Her classmates love the Chai and eatables. She tells them that she plans to start a business selling Chai and these eatables across the whole country. She convinces ten of her classmates to contribute Rs. 1000 each at 10 per cent simple annual interest with the principal due after two years and one free Chai and eatables every week till she pays back the loan.

With the seed money that she has now she rents a ultra small mobile kiosk and names it Ritu’s Tea House and hires a couple of friends to sell these eatables from her kiosk.

Meanwhile, she focuses in creating these products and streamlining the production process at her apartment. She delivers these products thrice a day to her kiosk. Ritu’s Tea House even though a small kiosk is a big success in her university campus. Three months later, her 10 friends contribute an additional Rs.50,000 to start another kiosk and a commercial kitchen where she can create these eatables. She hires production staff and logistics staff and six months later, she has paid off all her loans and has two very successful kiosks. A commercial kitchen with trained staff and a small logistics department who delivers on bicycles, and a very happy Sevkram with his 5 per cent royalties and a happy set of friends who have had a return of 10 per cent in nine months and 40 sets of free eatables.

Based on the above information answer the following:

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

1. Ritu has approached you, a financial consultant, to help her out with additional finances. She wants to open 18 more kiosks in the campus since the campus has many colleges and hostels and 20 kiosks will comfortably survive without cannibalizing each other’s sales. What will be your recommendations? (4)
2. 15 months later Ritu approaches you again for help, with additional funding. All her 20 kiosks are a runway success and her commercial kitchen is running at full capacity. She has a small managerial team of three people who are now managing the kitchen and the logistics. In a range of 5 kilometers outside the campus, there are enough commercial businesses to support at least 100 kiosks. Ritu wants to hire a real- estate manager to negotiate kiosk areas in the commercial and retail buildings, she wants to buy two delivery trucks for her logistics department, and she needs funding to create and run the additional 100 kiosks. What will be your recommendations? (4)
3. Two years later Ritu has again approached you for your help . Ritu’s Tea Houses’ revenues this year will exceed Rs. 3 crore. Ritu is very satisfied with her success but she has not achieved her vision of having Ritu’s Tea House in every city, town and village of the country. She wants to know if she should now become like a Sevkram and franchise her business model to other franchisees or should she keep growing the way she has grown in the past four years? Discuss the funding need and intermediaries that will be involved in both the approaches. (6)
