EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Aira is a revolutionary product which solves the irrigation problem of the country. Agriculture is
the backbone of India. This primary sector provides livelihood to 60-70% of the population and
contributes 17.9% to India’s GDP. But the agricultural sector has been adversely affected by
insufficient rain, inadequate water resources which lead to crop failures .Therefore the problem
of irrigation was to be addressed immediately. Our product is an automated irrigation system
which works on the simple phenomena of water cycle which converts air into water by utilising
the moistures in the air.Our product is a one-time investment which not only solves the problem
of water but also uses renewable energy for electricity, this source does not cause an
environmental imbalance. The objective is to solve the above problem thereby ensuring that the
farmers get high yield from the same plot of land. Our primary aim is to provide a shield to
farmers against droughts or excess rain. The agrarian sector faces lots of hurdles due to lack of
automation which results in lower output. Moreover the phase of agriculture in India is rapidly
changing. Moreover, the agricultural laborers are migrating to urban areas resulting in acute
shortage of agricultural labour.Therefore automation is very necessary in order to reduce cost
and to enhance the output. This product is backed by intense research and simply readily
available raw materials. We are initially targeting only rich farmers and the government yet we
have a huge customer base which makes our business a profitable one.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS – AGRICULTURAL AND AGRI-INPUTS INDUSTRY
India has the 10th-largest arable land resources in the world. With 20 agri-climatic regions, all 15
major climates in the world exist in India. The country also possesses 46 of the 60 soil types in
the world. India is the largest producer of spices, pulses, milk, tea, cashew and jute; and the
second largest producer of wheat, rice, fruits and vegetables, sugarcane, cotton and oilseeds.
Further, India is second in global production of fruits and vegetables, and is the largest producer
of mango and banana. During 2017-18 crop year, food grain production is estimated at record
284.83 million tonnes. In 2018-19, Government of India is targeting foodgrain production of
285.2 million tonnes. Production of horticulture crops is estimated at 306.82million tonnes in
2017-18 as per third advance estimates. India is among the 15 leading exporters of agricultural
products in the world. Agricultural exports from India reached US$ 38.21 billion in FY18 and
US$ 21.61 billion between Apr-Oct 2018. Exports of ready to eat items from India reached US$
689.80 million in FY18. The Government of India is aiming to achieve US$ 60 billion in
agricultural exports by 2022. India was the ninth largest exporter of agricultural products in
2017.
India entered the league of water deficient nations. A nation is considered water deficient
if the per capita availability falls below 1700 cubic meters per person.As per the Central
Water Commission, 80% of the total water consumed was for agriculture yet its not
enough to irrigate farms which causes wastage and suicides by farmers.The Governments,
both State and the Central, have traditionally spent taxpayers money generously for flood
irrigation. The Finance Minister had in the 2016 budget committed to find Rs 86,500
crores for funding 99 irrigation projects in the water stressed districts of India. This does
not help reduce the water stress of the districts because irrigation canals are wasteful.
They draw 4 times water from the rivers than what is delivered to the fields. Water
utilisation efficiency is less than 30% in the best cases, and half that amount in the
worst. Besides, historically, around a third of the irrigation projects start with a lot of
fanfare, but do not see completion.
4
Successful agriculture in most parts of the country is not possible without the use of water. The
large land resources of India cannot be put to productive use without a simultaneous
development and use of the water resources. In fact, an integrated development of the land and
water resources of India is of fundamental importance to the country's economy. From times
immemorial, life and civilization in India have been dependent largely on rivers.
About 75% people are living in rural areas and are still dependent on Agriculture. About 43% of
India’s geographical area is used for agricultural activity. Agriculture continues to play a major role in
Indian Economy. Provides food to more than 1 billion people Produces 51 major crops Contributes
to 1/6th of the Export Earnings Reduction in arable land This has put immense pressure on the current
available arable land for the food and nutritional needs of the population Decreasing farm sizes While the
average size of landholding is decreasing (also fragmenting) the number of operational holdings is
increasing leading to no.of challenges. Irrigation is also one of the biggest challenges which is indicated
in the table given below. Thus the Demand for irrigation is abundant while competitors are pretty less.
Government has the monopoly yet is not able to significantly solve the problem calling for players in this
industry.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Farmers all over India are suffering from agricultural problems. Above all the factors
contributing to the above problem, it has been noticed that the problem of irrigation is the
main one. Though India has lots of water resources in the form of rivers and oceans, the
problem of irrigation is still prominent in most of the agricultural regions. The reason can
be attributed to deficit of rain.
8
But however, there is a solution to the problem. Since India is a peninsular country, the
atmosphere contains lots of humidity. Even if 25% of India’s humidity is converted into
water, it has the potentiality to solve the irrigation problem in India.
AIRA has the capacity to produce 20,000 liters of water in one day at a humidity of
approximately 40% which is sufficient to irrigate 5 acres of land.

ABOUT AIRA
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AIRA is an automatic irrigation system which converts the atmospheric air into water which is
used for irrigation in arid regions. AIRA uses solar energy to function, making it an Eco Friendly
product.
This product works on the principle that when humid air is highly heated and cooled
immediately, the air condenses into the water droplets. The condensed water is the judiciously
used to irrigate the land.
FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT
Converts air to water.
Uses solar energy and electricity (if required in cloudy weather)
Works on the principle of condensation and pressure.
WORKING OF THE PRODUCT
The product contains a Solar panel, Air fan, Air filter, PVC tubes with hydrophobic coating and
acetone.
The Air fans suck the air in the atmosphere into the machine.
The air which is sucked passes through the Air filter which makes it pure by removing all
the contaminations.
Then, the purified air passes through the Condenser Section which contains PVC tubes with
hydrophobic coating that repels water. The Condenser Section is divided into two parts
namely Heating section and Cooling section.
The air first passes through the Heating section which heats up the air to 50 degree Celsius
using solar energy.
The hot air then passes through the cooling section where another pipes containing Acetone
helps in cooling. The pipes containing Acetone will work on a recycling process where in
the acetone will evaporate taking away the heat from the air pipe, due to the lack of opening
10
the evaporated acetone again condenses on the top of the acetone pipes and again drips
down.
Due to change in temperature drastically, the air condenses into water droplets which is
stored in the tank (or a well or directly discharged to irrigate the crops).
Then that water will be used for the purpose of irrigation.
Drip irrigation is the method through which the plants will be irrigated.

PORTERS 5 FORCE MODEL :
1. Competitive Rivalry: The demand for water is in abundance which makes it in ideal industry
for starting a business. While the government has the monopoly with access to various canals,
water bodies like groundwater etc., there are many players like Jain Irrigation, Royal
irrigation systems etc in various states which have advanced technology but access to limited
water supply and are not affordable by all. These players are still not able to solve a problem
which calls for a new technology , product differentiation and cost leadership. The basically
use pvc pipes, sprinklers, canals which have proved to inefficient to cater to this large
population. While our product will make a self-sustained water irrigation system irradiating
the need to spend huge amount on water and instead opt for this one time investment. Our
unique process and automated sytem is our competitive strength.
2. Supplier Power: Raw materials used by our product are pvc pipes, solar panels, acetone,
fans and motors. While these products have stable prices, they are still subjected to hike in
prices as the demand for these products is pretty high. With the increasing awareness of
renewable energy sources, solar panels are going to face high demand and technological
advancements which may fluctuate the price of the product. As these products are not very
unique and there is not much price difference in the market, changing supplier wouldn’t be
expensive,however mass supply and
long term relationship with suppliers does attract
discounts and credit which does not stress the working capital management. Almost all the
products like pvc pipes, acetone solar panels have alternatives like terracotta , solar shingles,
lens, copper pipes etc.
16
3. Buyer Power : As our target market is only large and scale farmers,The price of the set up
won’t be a problem for them but if other irrigation systems have reduced cost, the power
goes in the buyers hand. As for now, as
it’s a radical innovation with no significant
competitors, it is less likely for the customers to shift. Even if we target just 1% of cultivators
we have a huge market and if we are able to acquire government support it will eliminate the
power of buyers.
4. Threat of Substitution: As we use simple but an innovative mechanism to produce water,
there aren’t any close substitutes as of now and its less likely to find efficient way doing the
same. However substitute’s like canal, sprinklers etc can be used by farmers which are scarce
and expensive too which makes our product highly affordable.
5. Threat of New Entry: This product involves a lot of research though a simple mechanism of
water cycle is used, the intricacies involved can’t be tackled by everyone as the R and D cost
is very high and needs a lot of time. Moreover we have patented the technology used making
it difficult for new entrants.
17
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
AIRA is a product made to ease the lives of people, especially farmers by providing solutions to
their problems. AIRA is a product which runs based on a simple mechanism. It is based on the
universal proven phenomenon of condensation and pressure. Condensation means that when
warm air meets a cool liquid, the humidity in the it converts into water droplets.
The reasons for using the following products are:
1. Solar Panel
Solar Panels absorb heat emitted by the sun and generate heat energy. In AIRA, solar
panels are used to heat up the air passing through the device up to 50 degrees Celsius.
Solar panels are used because it is one of the most effective ways to generate energy.
Solar panels are a renewable means of generating electricity. Since AIRA will be mostly
used in farms, and farmers in India are still not blessed with full time electricity,
generating electricity through solar panels is a feasible and a good idea.
2. Acetone
Acetone is a chemical liquid which provides cooling effect. In AIRA, acetone will be
used to cool the heated air. So, after the air which comes into AIRA is heated by solar
panels, it must be readily cooled to condense into water. Using artificial means to cool
the heated air will fasten the effect of cooling, so acetone acts a catalyst in the cooling
process of heated air.
3. PVC Pipes
PVC pipes are used to carry air from outside to the inside of AIRA for the process to
initiate. PVC pipes are also thin and they do not corrode or rust due to the moisture
present in the air due to which this is the preferred product for condensation process.
These pipes are easy for maintenance process as they can be easily dismantled and also
be replaced due to its easy availability and low cost compared to other metal pipes.
18
MARKETING STRATEGIES
Our product targets middle to large scale farmers, and the government. So, the kind of
marketing strategies used will mostly be conventional so that it is in the eyes of the
farmers.
For the Government
Consulting the ministry of agriculture of state and central and explaining the role of our product
in solving the irrigation problem in India and to persuade them to subsidize the product.
If AIRA is subsidized by the government, then the small-scale farmers will also be able to afford
it.
For the customers (i.e. Farmers)
In rural areas, what is more important is awareness. The marketing campaign will be conducted
phase wise which encompasses the following strategies –
Conventional:
The conventional strategies used will be:
Newspaper advertisements
Radio Jingle
Billboards in rural areas
The billboard will read “Never run out with AIRA” signifying that with the
purchase of this product the farmers will never have to waste money and time
waiting for water to come or depending on the rain during harvest season. They will
be leaning towards the product as it will be a one-time expenditure and a lifetime
worth of water for their farms.
Local media
Word of mouth
19
Unconventional:
Conducting the workshop for farmers for educating them about the technical aspect of
our product
SANGAM – An exotic fair/ Mela
Sangam is an fair or mela as called by the localities there. The fair will be set up in the
Vidarbha region in Maharashtra specially for farmers. The villagers will be given the right to
set up stalls in the fair. But the attraction of the fair is two things Bail Gaadhi Sharyat - Bull competition
Our company will organize a bull competition which is a very famous game played by
the farmers of Maharashtra. So, farmers have to register, and they will be allowed to
participate in the game with their own bulls. The farmers will compete against each other
and the winning farmers will get a cash prize and AIRA.
THE AIRA
So, in the centre of the fair, a working model of AIRA will be kept. And all the water
created by it will be collected in a small tank, which has water sprinklers at the bottom.
So initially AIRA will be introduced and it will be told that the product is performing its
task, and towards the end an announcement will be made which says, “This is what
AIRA does, convert air into water.” And that time water in the tank will be let out which
will fall in the form of rain from the sprinklers.
This stunt will create an impression that AIRA has converted air into water and hence, we
will be successful in positioning the product rightly.
This is a promotional event for AIRA, and people of Maharashtra will be notified about it
through radio, newspapers and the local media.
These marketing strategies will be implemented in a phase wise structure. There are three phases,
and it will be conducted in the manner –
20
PHASE 1 (Pre Launch)
In this phase, Aira will be promoted though basic simple ways to the farmers, so that they are
aware that such a product will come into existence shortly. The methods employed will be –
Billboards
Radio Advertisements
Word of mouth
PHASE 2 (Launch)
In this phase, most of the strategies will be employed. This is the most intensive phase because
this is the phase where the product can be promoted to a great extent. This strategies of mareting
used will be –
Billboards
Radio ads
Newspaper ads
Word of mouth
Sangam ( the fair)
Local media
PHASE 3 (POST LAUNCH)
In this phase, we will mostly focus on
Conducting demonstrations of usage of Aira, and teach the farmers the technical aspects
of it
Taking feedback from customers
Taking feedback from farmers will help us in two ways
-
Evaluate our performance on delivering AIRA
-
Improvisations on AIRA

STP ANALYSIS
SEGMENTING
-
Demographic
Age: Farmers of any Age, but mostly teenage , adults, senior citizens
Gender: All genders
Profession: medium and large scale farmers and also the government
-
Geographic
Farmers who live in Maharashtra specially, and then the central parts of India which face
scarcity of water
-
Psychographic
Farmers who are facing scarcity of water for irrigating their crops, and hence want a
medium to get water to irrigate their crops and want to increase their yield by increasing
their production by irrigating their crops properly.
-
Behavioral
Farmers who want are open to change and are always looking for means to increase their
yield and raise their standard of living, by one time investment and then having fruitful
returns.
TARGETING
Considering the cost of our product, the target customers would be village Panchayats, state
governments and the union government. However drought and monsoon affected states
such as Maharashtra, Bihar, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, etc would serve as the major market for
our product. But initially, we would be targeting Maharashtra.
We would also be targeting medium and large scale farmers, as they can be ready to invest
in a huge amount for fruitful returns.
POSITIONING
“A unique product which would solve the problems of scarcity of water for irrigation, and
hence provide a better life to farmers.”

Customer
Firstly we will be selecting the suppliers for raw materials. We will shortlist a few
suppliers who are committed to supply to us readily whenever the demand arises. We will
look for suppliers who provide quality products at cheaper price and mainly the suppliers
who are situated in Malegaon.
Few parts which have to be prefabricated will be sourced from prefabricators present in
Malegaon district. Only those parts which require complex prefabrication will be sourced
from them, other basic parts will be modified in our own plant according to the needs of
the product.
The assembly will take place in our own manufacturing plant. The assembled product
will be such that it is easy for transportation by making it semi assembled product. At the
customer’s site our technicians will have to just join the various semi assembled parts to
form the whole product.
As ours in an industrial product, we ourselves will be undertaking the whole sales
process. Adding on middle man will increase the cost of the product which will not be
affordable by many. Also being in contact with the market directly will enable us to get
better insights and feedback so that we can improvise.
To streamline the whole supply chain process we will use an ERP system in order to get
more clarity and also for analysis purpose. However considering that our supply chain
consists of only 3 steps we will not face a lot of complexity in the supply chain process.

LOCATION ANALYSIS
Malegaon is a city and a Municipal Corporation in Nashik District in the Indian state of
Maharashtra. Malegaon is the second largest city of Nashik district after Nashik city. Malegaon
is at the confluence of the Girna and Mausam rivers, at elevation of 438 metres (1437 feet) at
18.42°N 77.53°E. It is at around 280 km northeast of state capital Mumbai. It has good
connectivity with nearby cities like Nashik, Manmad, Mumbai, and Dhule. Malegaon of late has
been diversifying and new industries are rapidly expanding. PVC pipe manufacturing is one such
industry. Malegaon is soon becoming a regional centre for PVC pipes.
Maharashtra being a state which is centrally located in India is ideal in order to reach out to other
parts of the country. Maharashtra itself being a state which suffers from water scarcity we will
have a ready market which is easily accessible if we have our manufacturing plant set up in
Maharashtra. We prefer to set up our manufacturing plant in Malegaon industrial area as there
are no problems of electricity, water, and other amenities. Also Malegaon emerging as a hub for
PVC pipes is of utmost beneficial to us as it is one of the core products. Due to the easy
availability of raw materials we will be able to procure them with the least possible cost which in
turn will help us to reduce the production cost.
25
LOGISTICAL ANALYSIS
Our product being big in mass it is hard to transport it. To solve this problem itself we roll out
semi assembled product which will be completely assembled by our technicians at the site. The
initial assembly will take place in our own manufacturing plant. The assembled product will be
such that it is easy for transportation by making it semi assembled product. At the customer’s site
our technicians will have to just join the various semi assembled parts to form the whole product.
The product will be transported using trucks to places where there is road available to reach the
destination. To places where there is no road accessibility we will use tractor’s as they can go
even on rugged surfaces.
It is at around 280 km northeast of state capital Mumbai. It has good connectivity with nearby
cities like Nashik, Manmad, Mumbai, and Dhule.
State Highway 10
State Highway 10, commonly referred to as MH SH 10, is a normal state highway that runs south
through Pune, Ahmednagar, Nashik and Dhule districts in the state of Maharashtra, India. This
state highway touches the cities of Dondaicha, Shevade, Mehergaon, Kusumbe, Malegaon,
Manmad, Yeola, Kopargaon, Shirdi Rahata, Rahuri, Ahmednagar, Kashti, Daund.
National Highway 3
National Highway 3 (old number), or Old national NH 3, commonly referred to as the Agra–
Bombay Road or just Agra Road in Bombay, was a major Indian National Highway that ran
through the states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra in India.
National Highway 3A was a branch highway between Bharatpur and terminated at Dholpur,
Rajasthan.
