Business Plan: Transparent LED/3D Glass Panel Display

1. Business Idea

Import transparent LED display panels from manufacturers in China.

Install them on glass facades of malls, showrooms, airports, metro stations, restaurants, and corporate offices.

Monetize in two ways:

1. Product sales + installation services (sell to businesses).

2. Advertising revenue model (install in high-footfall areas yourself and rent ad space).

2. Market Opportunity

India’s OOH (Out-of-Home) advertising market is worth ₹5,500+ Cr (2024) and growing.

Transparent LED panels are still new in India → first-mover advantage.

Target customers:

Luxury retail stores (jewelry, cars, watches, fashion).

Restaurants, cafés, and lounges.

Airports, metro stations, malls.

Real estate builders (showroom frontage).

Corporate offices (branding).

3. Business Models

(A) B2B Sales & Installation

Import panels (cost ~₹1.5–4 lakh per panel depending on size/resolution).

Sell to businesses at ~30–50% markup.

Offer installation, 3D video content creation, and maintenance.

(B) Own & Rent Advertising Space

Invest in panels and install at prime glass locations (malls, cafes, airports).

Partner with property owners (revenue-sharing model).

Sell ad slots to multiple brands.

Example pricing: ₹50,000–₹2,00,000 per month per screen depending on location.
