Most of the staff was locally hired, significantly reducing transportation costs. They utilized company vehicles for commuting, eliminating overheads related to travel expenses, and personal two-wheeler maintenance. This approach lowered employee costs and streamlined the company’s financial structure. The primary expenses included the initial capital expenditure required to setup the kiosks, followed by operational costs, which encompassed the salaries of the delivery boy, the salary of the executive, and the commission for the entrepreneur. When analyzing the unit economics, it became clear that these costs were manageable. The team estimated that each kiosk would take approximately 24 months to breakeven. After this period, the kiosks would generate revenue and contribute to profitability.
