What lies beneath… The iceberg pyramid
•Top of the iceberg is total India market
demand now
•Tip of the iceberg is the addressable
market now
•Need to understand available (penetrated) market and un-penetrated potential market
• This is the RURAL UN (DER) SERVED MARKETS which is opportunity for Market Creation
Product Development for BRIC • Un-penetrated market understanding
• No market data, research reports exist
• Need to understand customer needs – observational research and interviews
• Market Research by “rural immersion”
• Market creation with innovative solutions • SST principle (rugged, reliable, easy to use, easy to
clean, maintain, affordable)
• Proving solutions locally
• Need local successes and customer testimonials
Product Development for BRIC… . • Partnerships
• User needs understanding & insights through partnerships in BOP spaces
• Partners helping innovate and accelerate new product development (Govt & Private)
• Designing complete offerings “end to end” for sustainable results
• Think about service, reach, distribution etc.

Customer Problem (emerging markets)
–CLINICAL EFFICACY • Warm up time, uniformity,
intensity, temp control, alarms
• Overall time spent in NICU
–COST (TCO): • Initial Cost too high*
• High Operation (electricity) & Maintenance (repair) costs
• Consumable costs
–EASE of USE: • Delicate, bulky (not robust &
reliable) or easy to use
• Breaks down frequently & not easy to clean/maintain Competitive warmers and Phototherapy currently serving this market (such as the
one shown) frequently break down & are discarded
Also, multiple babies are treated and light bulbs used as warmers some places.
