Why Mumbai? Taxis in 1997: 63000 T Taxis in 2012: 30000

Phase I

Govt. banned cabs older than 25 years

1200 T Toyota Etios Phase II

There was a huge gap and the demand for cabs increase every day

400 Maruti T SX4

Industrial Capital and thus the number of people travelling to and in city is increasing

Phase III

Rest by DecT24 2013

TABcab- Operations The brand’s differentiating factor is the hi-tech gadgets available inside the cab for entertainment which the company fails to leverage on.

The brand’s main target customers are midlevel employees who travel within the city and to the airport frequently. The company should widen it target customer and offer tailored services for every category

The company has positioned the brand as Fresh and New but it should reposition itself and make it category which is more accessible to the public

The company also hasn’t reached areas in and around the city

A driver can become a TABcab driver after undergoing a 2-day training programming which is organized by the company and costs Rs. 5000/-

The driver then needs to pay Rs. 1100 to the company and can keep the rest of the earning for himself

The driver gets only one holiday monthly

Educate the masses

Increase Accessibility

Tailored Services

Enter untapped markets

The drivers also get Rs. 400 for every ment posted on the cab

The maintenance charges are borne by the company

Aspirational value STRENGTHS - Infotainment in-car services - Preferred taxi service at Mumbai Airport - Modern fleet of around 1674 taxis - Location tracking GPS and 24 x 7 customer - Tie-up with major bank – BoB

WEAKNESSES - Poor call centre response - High maintenance costs - Limited consumer base (Mumbai) - Complaints of overcharging and rude drivers rampant on social media websites

OPPORTUNITIES - Current demand of 7000 – 8000 radio cabs in Mumbai city - Operations Expansion into Tier I cities - Growing Affluent Market Demands - Strategic partnerships with Online Travel Portals - Social media branding

THREATS - Stiff competition from current players - Stiff fare policy due to low switching costs - Fuel Price/ taxation policy on diesel cars - Highly regulated market - Political impacts – Drivers union - mgmt disputes - Dearth of skilled drivers

Quantum Growth Recommendations Timeline of the Strategic Recommendations 1st year

2nd year

3rd year

Rectification • Excess concentration

of services in certain parts of the city • Elimination of current perception that tab cabs can be hired only via telecommunication • Excess utilisation of exterior car body for marketing other brands • Communication failure of utilities and services provided intra car • Lack of emphasis on GPS & safety aspects of the car service

Expansion

Consolidation

• Big Ticket Idea: Mumbai – Pune Shuttle Service • Big Ticket Idea: Launch of cab services in Pune city • Vertical integration: Tie-up with major 3, 4, 5 star hotels in Mumbai, Panvel, Lonavla, Amby Valley, Lavasa and Pune • Launch of customised mobile application with direct gateway to BoB platform • Tie up with airlines for inflight cab booking

• Frequent travellers TabCab Card: Launch of frequent travellers programme to cater regular customers • Tie up with corporate entities • Elimination of current perception that tab cabs can be hired only via telecommunication • Limited launch (Soft opening to gauge response) in other metros in India

Critical Recommendation – 1st year Primary Research - Responses of 6 drivers of Tab Cab Average visits to /fro Mumbai city from/to Airport per month

Rs. 570

Average visits to Thane city and Navi Mumbai from Airport per month

Includes only ‘to’ charges.

Recommendations: 1. Shift concentrated cab hubs from Mumbai city to suburbs and Thane city wherein to match the trend of migration of smart spending emerging upper middle class is based and major corporate offices are being shifted. 2. Create a buzz through online social media marketing and public space hoardings so to attract customers from Thane and Navi Mumbai to create two-way transport model 3. Financially feasible model (Infrastructure boost provided by Panvel airport + resultant population migration)

Group 9 NAVratnas

Critical Recommendation – 3rd year Market expansion phase via launching services in Pune and managing the synergetic vertical chain Tie up with major 3, 4, 5 star hotels and food chains: 1. With the launch of Mumbai-Pune shuttle service and launch of intra Pune Tabcab services, the entire Mumbai Pune corridor including expressway can be serviced 2. Generally, in hotels, the customer tends to complete the cab booking via desk reception. Hence, synergising with these hotels will enable fixed avenues of revenues 3. Special emphasis on Amby Valley and Lavasa hot spots and Pimpri industrial zone (No direct connectivity to expressway) 4. Food chains on municipal borders of Panvel and Pune can also be covered
