The grand success of our Can (LT 6A) group DE business plan

After that I proceeded towards my dorm in makati area via the air con car which was passing by near the Halina hotel at about 6:00 am in the early morning. It was 17th November, Sunday, 2003 and exactly one year ago on this day I appeared in the AIM written test in st. xaviers college mumbai.After this incidence I started getting addicted to the dancing cum entertainment cum strip joints and decided to visit regularly with cash money at hand. Within a week I had blocked my ticket to India thru some air travel agents.
I scheduled my departure date to India during the Christmas break on 13 th December, 2003.during the first week our batch was busy preparing for the presentation for the marketing management and the business plan contest as a part of the development of enterprise -part I. Our can group which consisted of the eight members were actively involved in making the presentation slides and the word document for the business plan contest. My can group members were Tintin abu, Toni Mendoza, Mike Garcia , Karlo Nisce, Parag Ranade, Saurabh Ghatnekar, Inayas Udaya, and My self. So in the first week of December, 2003 we were busy putting down our Ideas and thoughts for the last week before the end of the first semester in the academic year. Only two things were left on from 6 - 10 decemeber, 2003.
It was on 4th December , we were supposed to present the Business plan of the Nirvana the concept of Men's spa saloon in the upmarket area of the metro manila in Philippines. It was Tintin abu's original concept based on her boyfriend desire to have the spa and saloon at one place for men's toilet and grooming facilities.
Our shop Nirvana will cater to needs of the metrosexual men staying in rich and upper middle class in having total personal grooming and beauty solutions.
We worked hard for almost five days to get into various facets of the plan like introduction ,Marketing, financial parameters, operations, human resources, etc etc.
The presentation of the business lasted two days and our presentation was doen on the last day in which we divided the presentation part in four students as it would be easier to do the job.In all there were four students in our sib group - Tin Tin abu, Sudipto basak, Inayas udaya and Karlo nisce. There were a total of twenty subgroups of ten can groups and all of them had to present the business plan in of fifteen plus five minute's time. Other groups had the plans based on the on the concepts of summer training camp, designer Laptop bags, Fruit beer , Ostrich meat, clip boards,Etc etc. some of them were interesting concepts which were to be presented in front of three judges who were professors like Jay bernardo, Elie santos, Eduardo Morato, and F. Bernardo.
As expected we presented our plan in front ofProf. Eduardo Morato and others. We presented our business plan cum buiness plan and estimation well in front of the judges. After our presentatation we were asked questions mainly by Prof. Eduardo morato.
He asked some questions which we could not comprehend and understand and but we replied back to him nicely to whatever questions we have understood. Now we were satisfied that we had done our job fairly well.
