We identified the opportunity in University of Kanpur as there is no Gaming
Zone and after conducting a survey, we got positive response towards gaming
zone business in University of Kanpur. The two things which we can provide to
students through our gaming zone are the entertainment and refreshment
opportunity. We did opportunity analysis and after gathering detailed

decided the name of our gaming zone which is University Gaming Zone”.
Through competitor analysis we get to know the strengths, weaknesses, threats
and opportunity of our business and our competitors as well. We made the
marketing plan for the successful promotion and made marketing budget as
well. In operational and production plan we showed the assets, games and
technology we need for our business to generate services and the number of
employees needed as well. We have also showed our expected suppliers and in
2

of capital and the capital raised through partners contribution and loans as well.
INTRODUCTION
We are studying in university and sometimes after long lectures we want to fresh
up ourselves and there are different ways to refresh ourselves.
3
We took opportunity to refresh them and providing them a good way of
entertainment in their idle time in university and that opportunity can prove a
very healthy business activity for us to earn profit. So we have decided to open a
Gaming Zone in our university. Games are healthy activity of our life. According
to some researches games are good way to refresh mind and body fitness of busy
people.
4
After generation of idea, we conducted a survey in university to know about the
thinking of students regarding our business idea (GAMEING ZONE in
University) and we have very positive response. More than 70% students wish to
have a gaming zone in university.
SELECTED ORGANIZATION
CSJM UNIVERSITY:
Kanpur University was established in 1966 when Agra University split into Agra
and Kanpur universities. Mayawati, as chief minister, changed the name from
Kanpur University to the Chhatrapati Sahu Ji Maharaj University, after the
Maharaja of the Indian princely state of Kolhapur between 1884 and 1922, Shahu
IV of Kolhapur, also known as Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj.
VISION:
To establish a market that would promote technical activities in the public and
lead that market with our long term strategies
MISSION:
5
that the companys philosophy and core competencies are aligned with our
vision and eventually, our firm projecting a positive image, not only for its own
employees, but for the University as a Whole
LOGO:
SOLOGAN:
OBJECTIVES
6
To generate the loyal customer ship.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
The competitive advantage for our business is that we are establishing our firm
in that area where no other company providing such type of facilities. So we are
7
first advantage taker, create monopoly and earn high profit by providing
services to our customers. The whole setup of our business has the characteristics
of uniqueness in that particular area. So in this way we are facing the no direct
competition in our targeted market, but according to our vision and long term
objective, when we would expand our business, then we might have to face
extensive competition throughout the Region. So our competitive advantages
will be as follow:
OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT
We found our university is lacking some place where students can refresh and
entertain themselves. As we know games are a healthy activity for mind and
students also like to play games in their idle time. So we can take the benefit of
that opportunity by opening a Gaming Zone in our University. This opportunity
can give us healthy profits and can prove beneficial for us as a long run business.
8
CREATION AND LENGTH OF OPPORTUNITY
9
RISK:
Students will not visit our gaming zone. But after conducting survey in
university we found that more than 70% students are willing to have a
Gaming Zone here.
Someone else takes initiative for opening gaming zone before us and
take advantage of opportunity is also a risk for us.
RETURNS:
10
We can earn by organizing events in our gaming zone.
The opportunity we are taking and starting business also needs our personal
skills. So its very important to have skills regarding that business.
We think we have skills needed for our business. Being a student of Business
Administration we can run promotion activates our self in university. Games
knowledge and skills are also there because of our interest in games and updated
knowledge of new games. The goals are to earn profit and providing students a
platform for gaining refreshment.
So we are sure that our skills are enough for that opportunity and the
deficiencies of skills will be cover up with the passage of time and experience.
This opportunity also matches goals.
COMPETITVE ENVIRONMENT
11
But the threats we can have are:
BENEFITS
12
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
ECONOMIC CONDITION:
It means the current economic condition of our country and how our business
will affect the economic conditions of the country. And how our business will
affected by economic condition.
The UNIVERSITY GAMING ZONE will play its minor role in the improvement
of economic conditions. This new business will provide the employment
opportunities to the people of Kanpur. In this way the unemployment rate will
reduce in this area. Government will get the taxes as a result of business not only
from our business but also from the other sectors connected with us. Per captia
income of employees will increase and as a result of these the lifestyle of city s
people also increases.
The purchasing power of people is increase and demand also. Through this
UNIVERSITY GAMING ZONE will generate income from its own resources that
use in many projects. We need loan for starting business, but the interest rate is
very high due to this our cost will be increase. Inflation rate also increase day by
day due to this our profit margin will be reduces and cost of project increase.
SOCIAL CONDITION:
For last few years India has rapidly shown a growth in IT sector. Many new IT
domains and startups have evolved and are providing the best services possible.
Many technological trends are being adopted by the youth like freelance web
development, designing, blogging and so on; but the activity that is most loved
by teenagers is gaming.
13
These days guys and girls both love to play games especially online multiplayer
games. Gone are the days of playing arcade games on computer now it s the
online networking games culture. Groups of friends buckshot each other on
MOHAA (Medal of Honor Allied Assault) or dominate each other on WOW
(World of War craft). But to enjoy all these games not everyone has broadband
connection at home. So, teens turn to gaming zones, the breeding place of future
pro-gamers.
Gaming zone is like a paradise for teens. Dimly lit room filled with neon lights is
what teens love. Trance background music and soothing environment, a dream
place to enjoy free time. People want places where they can enjoy and release
their mind from tensions of daily work load. Social condition is favorable for our
business. Our business will also take the Ethical Rules into the considerations.
LEGAL CONDITIONS:
There are no specific rules and regulations for the gaming zone business in India.
These are same as for the sole proprietorship and partnership business.
Although the legal status of the business tends to play an important role in any
setup, the Gaming Zone business is proposed to be operated on a sole
proprietorship basis which may extend to partnership in case of future
expansion.
The Legal Requirements by the University should be full filled and rule and
regulations should be taken into consideration for our business by us.
TECHNOLOGICAL CONDITIONS:
Technology is available easily and on high rates now a day. Every day IT Sector
introducing the new technology which is faster and easy to use at high prices.
14
Due to the introducing of new technology in games, our business has consistent
threat from changes in technology. It also increases the cost of our business. For
new technology understanding we need skilled and trained persons who are the
expert in IT field. Games companies are introducing new games with good
stories, action, graphics, 3D effects and lot more every day. IN India technology
is introduced step by step. The technological conditions are becoming favorable
for the business of gaming zone. So we should hold up to date technology for
providing good and quality services. Because the university students are well
aware from new technology. The technology which we have for our
UNIVERSITY GAMING ZONE is computers, LCSs, video games etc.
POLITICAL CONDITION:
For the starting of any business, the investor should analysis the political
condition of specific country. If the policies of Govt. are stable then it is favorable
for business. The tax rate is reasonable, provide rebate in excise duty, security to
wealth, no chances of war, no tight rules and regulation then a business will
efficiently operate in the country. But unfortunately in India the political
condition is not good so we have threat from the increase rate of tax and
insecurity. And also there is no peace in India.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Counter Strike

Call of duty 4
FIFA
Car Racing
Air Hockey,etc
16
The Gaming Zone Business is very popular in foreign countries like UK,
Australia, China and America etc. The Gaming Zone Industry is growing in
developed countries. The technology is faster, cheap and affordable in these
countries. Now in developing countries like India and India the Gaming Zone
Businesses are making place in the society and these business are seeking the
attention of new entrepreneurs.
COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
DIRECT COMPETITORS:
As we are starting UNIVERSITY GAMING ZONE in University of Kanpur and
there is no such type of Gaming Zone for the Students in this area. So we don t
think we have any direct competitor in that location where our business exists.
INDIRECT COMPETITORS:
The competitors who influence our business indirectly are considered indirect
competitors. In university and outside the university we have many indirect
competitors.
CANTEENS:
17
students for entertainment. So we cannot consider canteens as our direct
competitors. These are our indirect competitors.
UNIVERSITY GYM:
Students also like to spend their time in gym with friends especially hostel
students. So these are also our indirect competitors.
Computer Games
Snooker
Hand Ball
UFC:
18
University food Corner can also our indirect competitor because it target market
is university students.
We have conducted a survey for the purpose of checking the interest of students,
their views about the gaming zone in university and their willingness to visit our
gaming zone in the university. We got a very positive response. More than 75%
students are demanding the Gaming Zone. Through this survey we can
understand that the demand for gaming zone exist in the university.
Our expected competitors are not fully satisfying the customer s needs. They are
providing good ways of spending students idle time and through this earning
money but they are not proving any sort of games to the students with in the
university. So we can say that our competitors not completely fulfilling the
CSJMU students. It is good opportunity for us to target this market by
developing gaming zone.
PRODUCTION TECHINIQUE
19
In our UNIVERSITY GAMING ZONE we use different machinery for providing
services to our customers for computer games. The manual games like snooker,
hand ball, Air hockey etc. we use different material.
The marketing research cost is very high but it provides valuable information
about business. It involve gathering of data in order to determine such
information as: who will buy the product or services, what is the size of market,
what price should be charged, what is the most appropriate distribution channel,
and what is the most effective promotion strategy to inform and reach the
potential customers. We conducted market research to collect all information
about business to earn high profit. The marketing research plan consists of four
steps.
The objectives of our marketing plan with respect to the customers view point.
How much amount they are willing to pay for using our product or
services?
20
Where would customers prefer to purchase the products or services?
Where would our customer expect to hear about or learn about our
product or services?
For achieving the objectives of our marketing plans we conduct research and
collect information by using different sources.
We search on the net through different websites. We got a lot of data about
gaming zone. We read different article about games. Games are very healthy for
human being. It provides relaxation to human being especially students minds,
but it tells us only about industry of I.T, rules and regulation and importance of
games. The IT industry is well developed in India. So there are relevant articles
and data about the Indian people.
According to industry analysis, the games trend emerges in India for last few years.
According to our point of view secondary source of data does not provide us
information that the opening of UNIVERSITY GAMING ZONE in CSJMU is profitable
or not for us. And also not provide information about the needs and wants of our
targeted customers. So for the expansion of our knowledge we go to primary source of
data gathering.
Primary source is most reliable source for gathering information related any
matter for taking decision. But it is more expensive and time consuming process.
There are many ways for data gathering like survey, questioners, face to face
interview, and focus group but we use questioners for conduct research from
CSJMUs students.
21
According to students answer, they feel need of gaming zone in CSJMU for
enjoyment in free hours. There is no facility for students to enjoy their free hours
in games. It is also profitable business for us, because all university students are
interested in gaming zone. It is a healthy and good refreshment opportunity for
CSJMUs students. This is the good opportunity for university students to get
employment especially IT student and management students.
We gather data from both primary and secondary sources for the starting of new
business UNIVERSITY GAMING ZONE in CSJMU.
The games are healthy activity for human mind according to research. It is good
opportunity for us to open gaming zone in CSJMU, because it is ignored market
we can say it is niche market. A niche market is said to be where no person
provide facilities of games to CSJMU students.
So there is no competitor in that place, we can create monopoly and earn high
profit by selling our services. This business is not only profitable for us but also a
source of revenue for University Of Kanpur. This is additional facility for
students which increase the goodwill of university. So by getting all information
relevant to industry and customer analysis so we will start business.
TARGET MARKET:
A group of people for whom the marketer designs the marketing mix is called
the target market. Our Gaming Zone is a newly established company with
limited resources so we will use concentrated marketing& coverage strategy.
22
We can market more effectively by fine tuning our products, prices and
programs to the needs of carefully defined segments. In using this strategy we
will adopt the pattern of single segmentation i.e., one product for one market to
check its responses.
