The idea behind this is that Bangalore comprises of a very youthful population all wired n on the go 24 x 7 x 365 providing their services to ITES & BPO co's working Australia, India, UK & US shifts which means at any given point of time, there are people needing sandwiches / wraps / bread / burgers tea & coffee , juices etc to re-fill & top-up on the go. apart form that is the population school & college kids who need 3 meals a day, kitchens @ home can't satisfy them as exposure to advt.'s by TV & media has created / provided awareness of foods n lifestyles in young impressionable minds, besides parets are happier to buy ready-made stuff n relax rather than cook n experiment, hence the burgeoning demand for fast food but with Indian Flavours.

Direct players / competitors - KFC, Subway, Mc Donalds, etc, backed by int'l franchise knowledge

Indirect players - small neighbourhood restaurants & bakery outlets

Availability concept is 24 x 7 x 365 @ affordable pricing - reason for an advantage over our competition

Only if they [competitors] repeat the idea of the strategy w/- Indian Flavors / menu, will the idea click. MNC brands r organized but cannot n will not put Indian-food on the menu - diversity is huge -every 75 kms in India the taste n food changes, this can be matched only by local biz's knowing the flavour n menu of every region of India.

As CEO n co-owner, I drive the biz forward w/- the knowledge gained from living 12 years abroad in various countries.

My clientele / target audience is uber-cool & aware population, on the move w/- time only for income generating activities, I aim to tap in to the wallets of these couples to spend on the what is essentially a basic need - food. [food , clothing & housing - roti kapda aur makan is every man woman n child’s need.] The aim is to take this need & give it a Brand n identity, make it into a WANT.
The WANT is AMBER LOUNGE.

Plenty of money is made by the food industry. Apart from the retail end, catering of parties n weddings is an ever growing business.

Buying Technology, plant n machinery - primary area's of capital / investment needed to import machinery.

Reason for needing finance is to obtain latest technology in Taiwan, which is cheaper than in India.

Our need is USD 10,00,000/- with payouts in 3 tranches, for a period of 5 years & our re-payment schedule shall be for 60 months w/- a 3 month holiday period - start-up needs as plant is being imported.
