2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The gravity light concept was founded in 1992, and in the 21 years since, our growth
and success patterns have far outgrown industry standards. It is matter of pride us to be able
to offer one of the widest arrays of products to our customers through our extensive network
all over the country. However, history has shown that change is only element to remain
competitive in the market for a longer period of time. Just as innovation brings improvement,
similarly progress offers the promise of perfection. Our firm’s commitment to maintaining
excellence standards of quality and services has enabled them to realize that they need to
revolve from within.
The vision of our organization is “TO BE THE FIRST CHOICE IN THE REGION”. Since its
inception, the our company is taking rapid strides in developing new businesses to offer
complete energy services to cater all types of customers. They have entered in to new and
remained focused on delivering to our customers.
The credit for all this goes to none but their employees who love challenge and
excellence in everything is their passion. Our organization is an empowered organization in
which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire and opportunity to personally succeed in
a way that leads to collective organizational success. We have given those opportunities to
deliver, grow and prosper. Hence we have unlimited opportunities lying ahead of us.
They offer very good growth opportunities and most congenial working environment.
, the company being in its expansion phase, offers unique career development opportunities
for both young graduates as well as experienced employees.
The concept of gravity light is new to Pakistan people. So Star light will have to face
major challenge of introducing new product to general public. Star light will have to spend a
lot of marketing expense to promote the product. Star light have segmented market into
geographic, demographic and buying situation. Star light is targeting lower and middle level ,
people who face electricity crisis and to rural areas of the country.
Star light will manufacture gravity lights in plant that is located in Lahore. Company
will distribute its product through online, through stores and through retailers.
The price of Gravity light is set to 800 rupees per unit. The product will be sold by
online, stores and retailers. Star light will spend 3.6 million rupees on promotional activities
to promote it product. Promotion will be made on advertising on TV, newspapers, bill boards
and radio channels.
There are some technical risk with gravity light that it require a person to pull the
weight after every 1 hour in order to generate light. If product failed to succeed in market,
then Gravity light will be turned into solar lights.

3 INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
3.1 Future outlook and trends
Current Situation - Electricity crisis. Use of UPS / Generators leads to high utility bills.
Our aim is to reduce expenditures on light and ensure savings on replacement costs. Gravity
light energy is freely available without caring for utility expenses. No import duty on solar
chips – reduction in expenses.
3.2 Competitors Analysis
The marketing concept states that to be successful, a company must provide greater
customer value and satisfaction than its competitors do. Starlight has a tough competition
with Philips while it faces a little competition with the local producers like china lighting
company, Green lighting company etc. The local producers hardly affect the sales of Starlight
in the market.
There are different types of competitor in the market. Some of them in which our
product lies are discussed below:
Close Competitor
Starlight and Philips are close competitors. It means that both have direct competition
in the market, their products are close substitutes for one another. Both the products can
influence the market share of one another through effective strategies made to cope up with
their competitors.
Distant competitors
Gravity light and Energy sever are distant competitors of one another. It means that
their products satisfy the same want but they are in indirect competition with one another.
Strong Vs Weak:
Philips and Starlight are strong competitors. In Pakistan Philips is the market leader
and Starlight is its competitor. The Starlight makes defense strategies so that it can maintain
its position in the market. While Philips is a challenger and it makes attack strategies so that
it can become the market leader.
Starlight and green lighting are weak competitors. Starlight is the market leader and
green lighting is the follower. Starlight is not in direct competition with the Green lighting. It
means that Green lighting little effect on the sales of Starlight.

3.3 MARKET SEGMENTATION
It means that you divide the target market in to different groups. Market consists of
buyers and buyers differ in one or more ways. They may differ in wants, resources, locations
and buying practices. Through market segmentation companies divide large, heterogeneous
markets into smaller segments that can be reached more efficiently and effectively with
products and services that match their unique needs.
Segmentation is done on basis of the previously mentioned external factors and the
following:
Geographic
Star Light has segmented its new product Gravity light to southern Punjab specially
and generally all middle cities.
Demographic
Star Light has segmented its new product Gravity Light to demographic characteristic
of low income. New product will be promoted to low income persons that have worry over
increasing prices of the electricity.
Buying Situation
Gravity Light need no operating cost at all and can be used for a long period of time.
It is portable lamp and can be used anywhere. So Star Light has segmented Gravity light on
the base of purchasing. Consumer have to buy the product only once for a long period of time
and not reapeaditly.
3.3.1 Targeting:
Star Light is doing targeting of its Gravity Light on these bases.
I. Lower and Middle Level
II. Load-shedding
III. Rural Areas
I. Lower and Middle Level
As a large numbers of populations is lower level and middle level. So, Star Light new
product Gravity light will target lower and middle level.
II. Load-Shedding
Pakistan is a country which is always facing load shedding problem throughout the
whole year. Gravity Light is perfect solution for areas which face load-shedding problems.
BUSINESS PLAN OF GRAVITY LIGHT
THE ISLAMIA UNIVERSITY OF BAHAWALPUR, BAHAWALNAGAR CAMPUS
Page 5
Gravity Light will overcome the problem of Load-shedding by producing light without any use
of electricity and without any massive physical efforts.
III. Rural Areas
A majority of population is living in rural areas and moreover many rural areas have
no facility of Electricity. In those areas, People are still using very old method or bound to use
expensive method of lightening. Gravity Light will be very effective for those areas with no
need of electricity or of oil use.
3.3.2 Positioning:
The positioning of Gravity light will be done in this way “A Light solution that will never
require any operating charges as well as heavy physical efforts”.
3.3.3 CONSUMER DECISION PROCESS:
Consumer decision process or consumer buying behavior is explained in some steps
which are discussed below:
Need Identification
Consumer needs inexpensive light solution with low purchasing price of the product.
Information Search
Consumer will search as to what will satisfy their inexpensive light solution to the
most.
Evaluation of Alternatives
He will now evaluate from different Light solutions that are inexpensive in operating
cost as well as low price of purchase.
Selection
After evaluating the product, they will select a product.
Purchase
The consumer will buy the selected product.
BUSINESS PLAN OF GRAVITY LIGHT
THE ISLAMIA UNIVERSITY OF BAHAWALPUR, BAHAWALNAGAR CAMPUS
Page 6
Post-Purchase Experience:
It is the experience that the consumer gets after using the product. He will use the
product again if he feels that his satisfaction after use is more or equal to the price of
the product.
After looking at above mentioned example, we can get an understanding that a
product should be so desirable that whenever a person identifies his need, he selects our
product among various substitute products and he feel satisfies so that he retains the use of
that product.
3.4 PEST ANALYSIS
A. ECONOMIC EFFECT ANALYSIS
Inflation
If the country faces inflationary trend in the market, the price of the Starlight gravity light
will ultimately increase which will lower its demand.
Economic Policies
Some of the economic policies which can affect the market of Starlight are discussed
below:
Fiscal Policy
It is the policy of taxes. If heavy tax is levied on Starlight products then its price will rise
having negative effect on its sales.
Monetary Policy
Monetary policy is made to restrict or increase the supply of money in the market. If
policies are made to restrict the flow of money in the market, inflation can be controlled
hence increasing the real income of the people which will ultimately affect the sales of
Starlight products.
Price Policy
If price of Starlight products is increased its demand will decrease and vice versa.
Income Policy
If income of the people will increase their purchasing power will increase and hence
increasing the market share of Starlight.

B. POLITICAL EFFECT ANALYSIS
Political Stability:
Whenever the government is considered to be stable, the business will flourish. If there is
political stability in the country the policies and strategies made by Starlight can be
consistent to be implemented. Foreign companies are also keen to invest in those
countries which are politically stable where they have no fear of decline in their market
share or shut down due to sudden change of government.
Mixed Economy
In mixed economy government and private sector both plays their role in developing the
economy of the country. Investment by foreign companies like Starlight is more likely to
flourish in mixed economy.
Laws Formulation
Government has given copy rights to Starlight so that another company cannot sell their
product by the name of Starlight. The countries where laws are formulated, the strategies
and activities of the company are different.
C. TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS:
Research and Development
Through research and development quality of the product can be improved or better
techniques or machinery can be developed which can increase the production. When
technology is advance the supply of the product increase hence the company experiences
growth in their business.
D. SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ANALYSIS
Psychographic
It is a combination of demographic and psychological factors. Psychological attributes
mean how you perceive things. The company will focus on the behavior of consumers and
make different changes in their product quantity or quality and in promoting their product
so that they can attract the customers. Keeping in view that the behavior of different
consumers is not alike they have to make their marketing strategies in accordance with
their requirements so that they are convinced to buy the product.

Social Status
Starlight is a very new concept especially in Pakistan. People who are low income they are
not purchase the solar energy lamp and the price of electricity is increase day by day in
Pakistan due to low supply.
3.5 SWOT ANALYSIS OF STARLIGHT
SWOT Analysis, which is based on thorough review of the business (corporation,
product category competition, customers and products), identities and evaluates the internal
strengths and weakness of the companies well as its external threats and opportunities. The
marketing mix is driven by the results of the SWOT analysis.
STRENGTHS

The company may also diversify its business in some other potential business.
Increased interest of people in musical groups, cultural shows and sports has provided an
opportunity for Starlight to increase its sales through them.
THREATS
The main competitor of the company is the Philips.
At the national level, Starlight has a very strong competition with Philips. Philips has started
its advertisements more effectively to increase their demand and it is a very strong threat
for Starlight.

4 DESRIPTION OF THE VENTURE
4.1 Product Introduction
Gravity Light
The Gravity Light is simply charged by a bag that is filled with around 3-5 kg of material
and hung from a cord below the light. As the bag descends, a series of gears inside the device
translates this weight into energy, providing 60 minutes of light. The light strength can be
adjusted, from strong task lighting to a longer-lasting low-level glow, and two terminals on
the front allow it to be used as a generator so it can recharge other devices including radios
and batteries.
The project originally emerged from a brief by charity Solar Aid to come up with a low-
cost light source as an alternative to the ubiquitous kerosene lamps that provide the main
source of light across the developing world – but which come with their own set of health
problems.
While there have been other attempts at creating battery-free light sources in the
past, there has often been a surprising reluctance to adopt them. The Gravity Light just needs
three seconds of lifting for 60 minutes light.
CHALLENGE
The Idea of light by gravity is very unique. As this concept is totally new to the market,
Company will enjoy many advantages as well as will face many challenges. The main challenge
that the company will face is to make the product well know, company will have to make
intensive efforts (Advertising, Promotion Etc.).

9 ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK a. Weakness of the Product
There are few weakness of the product that can decrease revenues of Star Light. The
weakness that is high in nature is that Gravity Light requires pulling of the weight for 3 seconds
after every 60 minutes of time. This weakness can urge consumer not buy gravity light product
for their use. Other weakness that are low in nature are solar energy savers that requires now
physical efforts at all and also generate light without operating cost.
To overcome this problem, Star Light will improve Gravity light gradually with the
passage of time to compete it with solar energy powers.
b. New Technologies
Today everything is changing very fast. Technology is improving day by day.
Improvement in technology is changing life of every person and as well as companies
revenues. Changing technology requires every firm to adopt new technology as soon as it
available otherwise company will struggle to keep its place in the market.
Keeping this view in mind, Star Light will always seek new technology to improve its
product and to remain solid in front of its competitors
c. Contingency Plan
If Gravity Light failed to gain its name in consumers, Star Light has allocated 3 million
rupees to know causes for failures. If causes will persistent, then Star Light will change its
product of Gravity Light to Solar system light. Solar system light converting will require 10
million rupees and need fewer marketing expenses as solar system is already know to general
public.
