Guesstimate 1 - How many food orders are being placed on food aggregator platforms

like Swiggy every day from IIT, Bombay campus.

Assumption:-

1. Total number of student:- 21898

2. Total number of faculty:- 1091
3. Total number of person living with family:- 3000 (Faculty+ Research Scholar)
4. Average number of Family member:-4
5. Total number of foreigner living in campus:- 62
6. Total population of IIT Bombay Campus=

(21898-1909) + (3000*4) + 62= 32051

The total hostel Student living in IIT Bombay =(21898-1909)=19989

Total Number of Course offered in IIT Bombay= 97

Total Under graduate course offered= 35

Total Post graduate course offered=62

These above mention students are divided in three age groups:-

Age Group % Student in the Total number of % student place Total number of
age group student order online student ordered
18-22 Yr. 50 % 9995 15 % 1500
22-26 Yr. 35% 6996 10 % 700
26-30 Yr. 15% 2999 10% 300
Total Number of order made daily(A) 2500

Total number of person living with family=12000

Total number of family living= 3000

The number of children age below 18 is about 30 % = 3600

The number of children age below 18 is about 20 %= 2400

Total population of married couple is=6000

As the Children are more prone to order food online and they are all living with their parents. We can
estimate around 20 % of the family order daily online.

Total no of order placed by the families (B)= 600

Total number of forign student staying in campus=62

We can expect 50 % of them ordering online to get their home dishes delivered to the door step.

Total number of order placed by the foreign student (C)=31

The aggregated sum of the food order placed daily in IIT Bombay campus (A+B+C)= 3131 times.

Guesstimate 2 - What is the average revenue per day of a Petrol Filling Station in an
area like Powai of Mumbai

Assumption:-

Total number of population in Powai area is approximately 1 Million.

Suppose,1 two wheeler for 2 person and four wheeler is the 50% of two wheeler in the area .

Total number of two wheeler:- 500000 pec.

Total Number of Two wheeler:-250000 pec.

25% of the four wheelers is public or commercial vehicle.

Total Number of private four wheeler:-187500

Total number of others four wheeler:-62500

Total Number of vehicle=(5000000+187500+62500)=750000 pec

Assume, each 2W, 4W & 4W(C) consume 1L, 5L and 10L fuel per day.

So on average (weighted) consumption per day per vehicle= 2.75 L

Total Fuel Consumption=2.75*750000 L=2062500 L

Price of the petrol is=87.19 /liter

Total Revenue earned by the petrol pumps= 2062500*87.19=179,829,375 Rupees.

Total Number of pumps per station=5

Total service hour daily=10 hr/day

Assume 1 pump can attend to 35 2W, 10 4W, 5 4W (comm) in one hour.

Therefore, Total vehicles per day per pump = 350+100+50 = 500

Total number of vehicle serve per filling station= 2500

Total number of filling station required to provide service is= 750000/2500= 300 pec.

The average revenue per day of a Petrol Filling Station in an area like Powai of Mumbai
=17829375/300

=59,431 Rupees

=60,000 Rupees per day(approx).

Guesstimate 3 - How many fans and tube lights are there in the IIT Bombay campus .

Assumptions of the total rooms.

Guest House 20 5 100 200 300
Total(A) 5800 11600 17410

Total area of IIT Bombay:- 550 Acre

Area need to be lightened or total road area:- 3% of total area= 16.5 Acre=66773 m2

Suppose 250 m2 area of road need 1 street light.

Total number of street light needed(B):-66773/250=267

Total Number of fan In IIT Bombay=11600 pec

Total number of tube light in IIT Bombay=17410+267=17677 pec
