| Description | We are currently at 70% of R&D stage and seeking for external fund to fund our prototype making, testing and manufacturing. |
| Business Opportunity | Across Malaysia, we are being surrounding with ocean and we have a lot of businesses going on with it. For Q1 of 2016 report by BMI Research; 85 oil field are active. Further more, we have more than 20 international ports, more universities are offering marine subject and so the scientific research related to marine, our diving industries are growing even faster, underwater footage is very demanding and RC hobbyist are currently showing the trend of pioneering new things. By these data, Our market research has shown that low cost ROV are highly demanding. Currently, ROV is only for big industry’s related company. The cheapest ROV is around 50,000USD and yet the owner still has to hire ROV’s Pilot. 9 out of 10 marine industry’s player do not have the capacity to afford this almost compulsory tool. They would prefer rental and the cost is still expensive. What we are offering is an affordable user friendly ROV for everybody. |
| Revenue / Business Model | Based on the size of market and defined market area, sales projections for the first year are RM3,700,000.00. We project a growth rate of 20% per year for the first three years. On start up, we will have six trained staff to provide ROV services and expect to hire four more this year once financing is secured. To begin with, co-owner Pupa digital studio will be scheduling appointments and coordinating services, but we plan to hire a full-time marketing group this year as well. Already, we have served 40 potential clients and we plan to aggressively build our client base through internet, newspaper, local television and direct mail advertising. The enthusiast on-site professional underwater technologist is sure to appeal to the target market throughout the Malaysia (before we go international). |
