Problem Statements For operations -

The current onboarding on the equip9 app shows what we’ve

suspected all along. “We’re playing in two major markets. The first is
small equipment owners (individuals) —they have equipment or a
fleet of smaller count 1-20 and who run their own companies, fewer
than 1-10 employees if that. The other is medium-size businesses
owners who have 50-100 plus equipment and who run their
companies with employees count 20 if that. We also see variety of
users downloading our app (Partners, Equipment Owners, Project
Magazines, Insurance Companies, Rentals, Brokers, Mechanics etc)

Our operations are broken. Our onboarding is low..

We have our core strengths lying in operators and mechanics.

EQUIP9 has the largest database of operators and mechanics in
India).
 Since our launch, more than 2.5 years ago, we have managed more
than 1,000+ problems and solved more than half of them. Indeed,
our downloading rates have improved dramatically over the years (1%
in 2020, 115% in 2021, and 225% in 2022), which is a function of the
increasing quality of the questions we pose and of our solver team.
Interestingly, even unsolved problems have been tremendously
valuable to us, and most importantly are easy and most innovative
operations solutions.
