POSSIBLE BUSINESS MODEL

• Own all assets: silo trucks, barges, bulk trucks, isocontainers. Provide one stop solution

• Outsource and manage• Lease silos and silo loading/unloading,

bagging equipment to customers. Use modular concept- silo parks

• Take long term contracts on per tonne basis of materials supplied

FUNDING

• Capital is not a constraint• VCs and Investment funds are plenty waiting

to invest in India and Indian infrastructure/logistics ( highest logistics costs in India compared to all other comparable countries)

• Long term approach and investment as a focussed business area
