The Challenge
A group of founders approached us with the idea of launching a tech-enabled smart ring in India. While the concept was promising, there were several critical unknowns:
Key Questions Needing Answers:
- What was the market potential for smart wearable rings in India and globally?
- How would the product be manufactured: in-house or imported?
- What budget and investment would be required under each scenario?
- Who were the competitors in India and globally, and how were they positioned?
- What pricing strategy would make the product competitive yet profitable?
- What regulatory, import-export, and supply chain considerations needed to be addressed?
The founders required a comprehensive, data-backed feasibility study before committing to product development or investment.
