I Want To Manufacture Mosquito Repellants

The last 2 nights, there were intense power cuts. I'm saved by cuts because of my lovely inverter which i brought from my earnings. But even my inverter battery was low. So the power was out the whole night

And during the night, i wasn't able to stand the bloody mosquito bites. That's when I had a realization. I'm living in a 2 bed room house that's not close to any garbabe and there's so many mosquitoes...

What about the slum dwellers? What about the little kids that keep being bitten by mosquitoes? There are lots of people suffering from this condition in the third world countries especially.

Malaria is increasing day by day. It stops people from being their best self. So I thought of a plan to build a mosquito repellant business. The creams that when applied repel mosquitoes and keep you away from harm.

For every four creams sold, 1 will be given away free to those in need and who can't afford. Today I was smoking and drinkin tea. On the opposite end, I saw a kid limping. He had polio. Despite of free polio medication, people are ignoring it.

We've got to bring awareness. Now I'm going to list the prices in indian rupee. Let me know what you think of this idea.

1 US Dollar = 40-50 Indian Rupees(Varies day by Day). Today it's at 45

Let's say the cost of 1 cream is 30 rupees(manufacturing costs, machinery, factory,etc). 5 rupees for the company(goes back to investors, employee salary, profits) and add 5 rupees to it. And the cream is sold at rs.40 mrp.

for every product sold, 5 rs goes into the special vault. And then for every four products sold, we have 20 rs in the vault. Now from that I intend to give it away to the poor and solve some of their problems so that they can get to stability.

The reason why these guys are not succeeding is becausE:
- Drunk Dads who come and hit their moms at night asking for money (this makes them become the same)
- Suffering from diseases and no treatment for it
- Lack of sanitation(water supply - the government isn't ready to give)
- Exhorbitant costs due to the expansion of other fields( there are lots of jerks here who don't care. They just want their own wealth and want to live the AMERICAN DREAM)
- Little or no electricity
- no awareness. no one is ready to make them learn. they just preach but no use. learning is behavior change and that is not brought about here/

If you've seen the rich people on the planet, you can see that there are lots of indians in it. but they are complete jerks who couldn't care less. give back to the people who gave you the perfect start

Here;s the perfect story of a vendor who sells fruits/vegetables/flowers in bangalore

In the morning, he's got to go to the whole sale market(5 am) and buy stuff for cheap costs over there. The bus travel costs Rs.20 (50 cents)

And then he returns to his regular place to sell(Rs.20 again). Then he sells to the people all day long in the main part of the city. Let's say he sells Rs. 1000 worth of stuff. His profit's gonna be about rs.100

from that, Rs.40 is gone for bus. If he drinks tea twice in the day, rs.10 gone. so rs.50 in expenses and rs.50 in earnings.

With a Rs.1500 a month income($30-$35), he isn't going to really have anything in life. The problem that lies here is:

The lower needs are not being fulfilled. According to maslow's hiearchy of needs, the lower needs to be fulfilled before one can be self-actualized. And the lower level is not fulfilled. Most people die without it.

On the other hand in my high school -- i see rich kids who are complete drug addicts and don't care much. They spend $10 a day and are happy about it. The more he spends, the more cooler he's. These guys frequently hang out at expensive places and most of the people from the lower strata can never imagine getting into one in their lifetime(Mcdonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC. Coffee Day).

That's why I want to do this thing. To get their lower order answered. At least a night's peaceful sleep will make them think proper thoughts and do the right things.

What do you think of this idea? Do you think I should implement it as soon as I turn 18? or wait till I'm more established(20-21)?

For the distribution to the right people, I've decided to make use of churches, temples and other places.

And as far as the marketing to the higher end people, it will be awesome. I believe in my marketing abilities and can get sales to kick off like awesome in the industry.

Finally, is there a market for this in the states? I could sell this for $2 instead of $1.
