Financial Matters

We are working very hard in identifying and developing the best commercial opportunities, the ones that will be most achievable and lucrative. We plan to Invest in Manufacturing as well as Consulting Service so that there is a spectrum of areas which gives returns.

The implementation will be in three phases with the focus and investment adjusted according to the needs and the challenges that come along. Funding of approximately 4.5 crores would be needed in the first phase which would be used for the research and analysis in phase one which also focuses on providing consulting services and a share would be given in starting the manufacturing area and to do the required research as to match with the global standards. The funding shall be deployed for the product development, team building and initial marketing and operations.
We plan to use the rich Intellectual property and developed technology to go public (IPO) or attract acquisition by an already established enterprise. We have worked on some the "India Specific Innovative strategy" to be cost effective globally as to stay competent. We need to selective in filing non provisional patent Applications and pursuing issuance of patents. Prosecuting a nanotechnology patent can be an expensive and time consuming process. Depending on the complexity, claims, and length of the application, filing fees can very high and this can be make things difficult.

Venture Capital

The role of venture capital is changing because more resources are needed to support entrepreneurial ventures today than ever before, because of the complexity of this technology, decreasing product development cycle times, accelerating global competition, and an increasing need for more capital.
We know that there has been increasing dependence by large corporations on finding and acquiring new technology and new products developed in small, entrepreneurial companies.
Accompanying the most recent wave of technological progress, venture capital has been seen as a driver of innovation. In 2001 about $400 million was invested in the US, closer to $500 million in Japan, and about $200 million in Western Europe, with about $400 million in the rest of the world, and the total is almost double the amount in 2000.The US National Science Foundation predicts a trillion-dollar worldwide market for nanotechnology products in 2015, with the largest being in materials (over $300 billion), electronics (approximately $300 billion) and pharmaceutical Need for a new Type of Venture Capital 111 applications (around $200 billion). Hype notwithstanding, there is a general acknowledgement that the ability to measure, control and modify matter at the nanoscale, i.e. at the atomic and molecular level, results in materials with new structural and functional properties that have the potential to revolutionize existing markets or create whole new markets. No one wants to be left behind in this global race for economic wealth creation.
We are also looking to buy the initial equipment for our setup by getting business loan from a bank.
We are also keeping an option open for business incubators in the initial phases.

Industry and Market

The question that arises is what markets are there for nanomaterials that has made this rapid growth in the number of companies in the field so attractive. To a certain extent the markets already exist. There are a large number of applications where the possibilities of re engineering existing materials down to the nanoscale can enable new performance and hence improved products.
The production of nanomaterial based products involves several manufacturing steps. It usually starts with the production of nano scaled particles from precursors or bulk materials, goes to master batches or dispersions which can be integrated into commercial products to make semi-manufactured products and ends in products over a wide range of applications.
Total tonnage of 65 tons of nanotubes and fibers was produced in 2004 which equates at manufacturer's current prices to €144 million worth. US-based BCC Research is forecasting the global market for carbon nanotubes to reach $79.1m in 2007.
Up from 60 tons/year now Prices will drop from $100-50,000/kg to $1-100/kg Prices will drop even more in the years after 2012 and volumes of production will also increase. Global Carbon Nanotubes Market expected to Exceed $1.9 Billion by 2010. There are also less number of consultancies in nanotechnology MEMS worldwide, infact there is only one established consultancies worldwide and one nationwide.

SMC Company

APPLICATIONS

SPECIAL EXPLAINATION FOR APPLICATIONS OF SMC IN THE FOLLOWING FIELDS:
" SCIENTIFIC COMPUTATIONS
Many companies and organizations perform research in a wide area of fields for their development and betterment. Most of these researches are not revealed publicly and kept private to the company itself or made a patent of the company to make profit through it. If these researches can be shared with other organizations which are working in the same field the research can be boosted by a large factor. There are many scientific computations which require results from many experiments and researches. If we can find a way in which the scientific computation can be performed without revealing the result, but using it to compute the desired result than it can help research and scientific organizations and other companies greatly. Organizations and companies would be able to share their data, information and results with each other thus will boost the research further.
" DATABASE COMPUTATIONS
Database transactions may involve data and information belonging to an individual. Security of data is our prime concern.
" BANKING

In banking there are many transactions and processes which involve private information and sensitive data belonging to an individual. Such type of transactions if not performed securely, can be used to leak out any private information of the individual, which can prove harmful for the individual in any manner. Many inter-banking and intra-banking transactions and processes many also involve such sensitive and private information or data.
If we can find a secure method for sharing such type of data we can perform many computations and calculations related to banking which can give out many useful results. The privacy of individual will be maintained and the transactions will be done without any risk.
There are many surveys conducted by banking sectors. These surveys may be related to customer or the employees working for the banks. Such surveys may include private data and information related to an individual and its privacy should be our prime concern. In such type of surveys their may be lack of data entries due to people not indulging into these surveys, because they may have fear of information and private data leakage. Even if may people does indulge in such surveys the data and information involved is still not secured.
If we can find a way to perform such surveys in which information related to an individual can be utilized in the survey but the information itself is not revealed, then it can help the banking sector greatly for conducting many useful surveys.
" BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING

Indian firms account for 80% share of the global market for cross border BPO services related to Finance and Accounting, Customer Interaction, and Human Resources Administration. According to the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), the revenues generated by ITES-BPO exports from India were US$2.5 billion during 2002, which increased to US$3.6 billion in 2003. In 2004, export of ITES-BPO to India generated revenues of US$5.2 billion. In addition to exports, the domestic market for BPO services has also grown. The domestic BPO market was US$0.2 billion in 2002, US$0.3 billion in 2003, US$0.6 billion in 2004, and US$0.86 billion in 2005. In India, the value of Human Resources operations outsourced during 2004 was US$165 million, as compared to just US$75 million during 2003. Emerging segments of the BPO industry in India include Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) and Finance and accounting outsourcing. In 2005, the Indian ITES-BPO industry recorded an annual growth rate of 37% to reach a value of US$6.3 billion.
Within a span of over a decade, India has become one of the most favored destinations across the world for business process outsourcing (BPO) operations. According to the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), the ITES-BPO exports from India in 2003-04 was US$ 3.1 billion was estimated to be US$ 6.3 billion by 2005-06. India has rapidly achieved the status of being the most preferred destination for business process outsourcing (BPO) for companies located in the US and Europe. This is because of the availability of low cost skilled manpower, a large English speaking population, and appropriate infrastructure in India. Security and privacy are the two major issues needed to be addressed by the Indian software industry to have an increased and long-term outsourcing contract from the US. Another important issue is about sharing employee's information to ensure that data and vital information of an outsourcing company is secured and protected. This issue also calls for an immediate action, he added. It is to be noted that given the increasing manpower cost in India coupled with the demand for multi-locational operations from the US companies, countries like the Philippines, Ireland and Mexico may pose a threat to India in due course of time. Even countries such as China, Russia and Hungary are also gearing up on the IT front in a big way.
What does security actually mean, in the context of human resources outsourcing, and how is security different from privacy? Is it even different? Are security concerns any different for a multinational company or a company that is considering offshore outsourcing, and is the customer or the service provider ultimately held responsible in the event of failure? One thing's for sure - as corporations continue to broadly adopt outsourcing as a strategy to manage their HR processes and capabilities, concerns around security take on an entirely different dimension. Security is not just a consequential phenomenon that results from proliferation of information technology. Security has been a human resources concern since long before HR departments began to IT-enable their processes and capabilities. Prior to IT-enabled HR, the definition of security was more passive - the state of being safe or secure. Questions around who physically saw what records, where the records were stored and how they were transported there, for example, were usually the types of security topics discussed in the context of HR. However, today's IT-enabled HR systems have amplified and broadened security needs to the extent that security concerns now overarch all IT-enabled HR processes as well. Now add the backdrop.

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS FOR NANOTECHNOLOGY BASED GREEN ENERGY SOLUTIONS

Implications of development of Nanotechnology based green cells have been discussed in [6]. Where we have proposed modeling and reliability aspects of MEMS based Green Cells and multi scale modeling of Solar cells which is being communicated for publication. India-specific perspective on the challenges in Fuel Cell Technology has been illustrated in [13]. Multi Scale and HPC in Green Energy solutions using Nanotechnology is important as the application of quantum dots in solar cells has been practically realized thereby making this area feasible.
" Multi Scale Modeling of Nano enabled Cells: In our last work we have sown how important it is to predict the properties of Nano Solar cells by the use of multi scale modeling (1-12)
" Application of MEMS and CNT for Fuel cells and Solar cells: In our previous work we have shown the application of MEMS technologies for membrane and anode modeling of Fuel cells (IEEE Xplore 1-12)
" Reliability and Packaging analysis of MEMS devices integrated in Fuel Cell: We have been working on reliability of MEMS devices and their application to Fuel cells (ACM DL 1-12)
We want to get into Green Nano Cell manufacturing unit in India for our specific needs and also will setup or collaborate with characterization and modeling lab for Nano enabled Green cells. Currently research in fuel cells is facing many challenges in commercialization and Nanotechnology can provide some very realistic solutions that may enable rapid commercialization of Green Nano cells. We will initiate with modeling area specific green cells for case to case scenarios. We have shown modeling of Green Nano Cells in [1-12]. Modeling can help us to facilitate integration of nano-enabled green cells in various areas. We have analyzed the market of fuel and solar cells in India in a comprehensive manner. Potential customers and growth includes not only mechanical but portable applications too. The solar cell with Nanotech enabled modeling and simulation is proving more efficient and will see application in wide domains. We have surveyed the present companies to whom we can provide the services. We have discerned and analyzed the integration of fuel cells for present times. We have surveyed the present companies working in developing green products. Our software prototype includes Modeling Library- This is the main library for modeling of CNT, MEMS and other Nano-scale device based Fuel Cell and materials. A model in nano-technology is a physical, mathematical, or logical representation of a system of entities, phenomena, or processes occurring at nano level. Basically a model is a simplified abstract view of the complex reality. It consists of modules and functions which will allow easy designing of many complex Nano-scale devices and parts used in Fuel Cell. It allows making of formalized interpretations dealing with empirical entities, phenomenon, and physical processes occurring at nano level in a mathematical or logical way. It is based on "divide and conquer" principle to handle complex problems. XNA framework is used for graphical programming required in this library. This library allows to view models in a 3-Dimensional view and to change parameters of the device or material with an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI). It allows the visualization of 3D models of devices and their structure according to the specified parameter of the device or material, which further helps in understanding of the device. Simulation Library-This is the main library for simulation of CNT, MEMS and other nano-scale device based Fuel Cell and materials. It attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular nano level system. An external math library is used for complex computations involved in simulation and computations of nano-scale phenomenon. This library is used along with modeling library to simulate the devices and materials made using the modeling library.

IMPLEMENTATION

For starting the work in this area we need to understand the importance of simulation and computational technologies in emerging areas. Also the current status of research needs to be studied. The current research in place like IITs has been observed during the lab visits in the last 3 years [16-21]. With regards to these requirements we have visited the labs of IITs and have hands on experience with MATLAB, Coventerware Multi-physics etc.
Thus we plan to provide some realistic solution that may enable realization of Green Nano cells and help us to commercialize this technology by working on packaging and reliability. We plan to fill this vacuum because it is poised to see rapid growth. Preliminary work in prototype has been shown above in this work. Also the strong technical team is one of the assets of this project.
Rural India if powered from solar energy can contribute a major to GDP and be independent of government based power structure rural India is one or the untapped markets, energy converts into running water pumps , running automobiles (fuel cells) , running electronics which are the major needs of rural and urban India. Reducing oil imports and creating jobs using alternative energy is the key advantage of our plan because the money saved from non renewable energy will create jobs as well as clean energy. Our market includes companies that plan to use nano enabled fuel cells and also our software solutions for companies working fuel cells and solar cells. We have listed all the Indian companies which can be our potential customers/partners. There are few fuel cell companies in India and fuel cell apps can be divide in top portable and non portable requirements in a product or company. We have targeted 25 solar cell companies and 5 fuel cell companies initially to target for the first phase of our plan; our income would be from a spectrum of areas. Automobile industry would be shifting to fuel cells but they need to make the right choice for their case specific applications, also cost reduction and reliability can be solved only by nanotech enabled solutions which open s a new market and adds another dimension in this area. Electronics industry would be using portable NANO-enabled fuel cells. We have studied and compiled the areas which can possibly be outsourced to us during the project.
