Manufacturing

In testing sample we use elastic to mount wiper on finger, but is become so tight that it stops blood circulation of finger. To overcome this we used combination of Velcro & elastic so that we can adjust tightness of elastic and can be easily mounted on different size of fingers of different people.

We planned to manufacture 500 pieces, but for this we cannot buy car wiper for rubber as this will cost us much more. And after cutting finishing was also bad, so we decided to make new design of rubber wiper as per our requirement. Then we designed die for rubber molding and get it manufactured from one vendor.
For stitching Velcro on elastic we were not getting any vendor as it was very small job, so my mother helped me for this and around 300 pieces we stitched at my home. After few days we mate one person for this work and he agreed to do at lower rate.

Packaging

We lost so much time in manufacturing that we didn’t got time for proper packaging design and quantity was also less so we decided to pack it in small polyethylene bag with our company details and instructions paper in it.

Sales & Marketing

Now everything was ready and our product was ready to hit market. We decided to approach bike accessories shops and people who sell products on petrol pumps and local trains.

We thought it would be easy to sell like this. But, people selling in local trains and petrol pumps refused to sell our product because there profit margin was less and it was new product so they felt no one will buy this product.

Some shopkeepers took sample product but there was no response from anyone. We designed this product mid of monsoon and took lots of time to manufacture. So now monsoon was about to end and we wanted to sell our product. So we decided to sell this product directly to end user. For this we used to go on petrol pumps and signals every evening after our office and sell the wipers. In this way we sold many pieces in and around thane. Then we used social networking site like Facebook and this also helped us lot. And finally we successfully sold around 250 pieces in Mumbai, Thane and Pune.

Where is it available

Till now it’s not available at any shop. My consultancy Pioneers Engineering solutions manufactured & sold those wipers last year on petrol pumps in Thane. And this year also we are going to sell this items at signals and petrol pumps in Thane, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai. This year we are also planning to sell through different distributers in different cities.

Problem is people are not aware about our product so distributors are not interested to keep our product and we have to go on petrol pumps.

Cost

Last year we sold the wiper at Rs 40/- per piece.
This year we are going to do mass production and change packaging, so there may be a difference in price. It’s not yet fixed but we are planning to sell at rs 50/- (Retail price) this year.

  1. Why dont you (‘Motoroids’) google it up. You’ll know this already exists and is available on online market. (In a better form/design, and colors and sizes if you want)

    Good attempt by him surely but nothing unique.

    I, for one, have been looking for helmet wipers and came across this last year. My hunt atill continues, for I dont know how reliable would the (helmet wipers) chinese versions be.

    A very pathetic and ridiculous invention made to solve a problem which should never be there. First of the visor of the helmet should be such that water should never stick to it.
