How to Do Business

You all know KBC is Good Business. But have you ever pondered how  well?????

Any guesses?????

Let's see...

Airtel / Idea is charging Rs.6 per SMS sent for this contest. Assuming there are only 100 entries from say 10 cities of some 20 districts and 20 states...

6 (Rs. per SMS) x 100 (entries) x 10 (cities) x 20 (districts) x 20 (states) i.e. = 6 x 100 x 10 x 20 x 20 = Rs.24,00,000.

Rs.24 lakh in just 20 minutes (from people trying for the Rs.2 lakh cash prize). Imagine the scenario if 1000 entries try out from 100 cities?

The figure simply grows by 2 more zeroes and yields a whopping Rs.24 crore!!!!!

And it does not stop there. In practice, it could be another multiple of 100 or a multiple of 1000 on an average. In that case, it is 24 x 100 crore earnings in just 20 minutes on every episode!!!

And the prize money: A mere Rs.2 crore!!!!! (and from whose pocket?????)

Smart Business By Siddharth Basu! And the best part of the above calculation is just the SMS earning!!!!! What about the Ad money?????

A rough annual profit calculation goes like this:

(2400 x 5 x 4) (episode/month) x 12 = Rs.5,76,000 crore.

Let even 50% get dissolved in taxes and other payments; still, you will be left with (which includes

even the meagre Rs.480 crore of prize money, i.e., if every episode bags Rs.2 crore prize) –Rs.2,88,000 crore profit!!!!! (Only from SMS).

Therefore, a Very Simple Question: "KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI" and your options are...

A) SONY TV

B) AIRTEL

C) AMITABH BACHHAN

D) SIDDHARTH BASU
