Understanding the Users

1. Engaging with Active Members

I started by connecting with our current members. These are the individuals who live and breathe Fino Club every day- and have been supportive from the ideation stage. Through one-on-one interviews and group discussions, I learned what they love about the platform—the sense of community, the exclusive insights, and the opportunity to learn from the best in the field [ and eagerly waiting for programs to launch ] . But I also heard about their frustrations: the occasional feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content, or the desire for more personalized trading advice. By listening, I was able to pinpoint key areas for improvement and new opportunities to enhance their experience. While reducing the number of channels and content which was less impactful.

2. Potential Members

Next, I turned my attention to those who aren’t yet part of our community but should be. These are the ambitious traders and financial enthusiasts who could benefit immensely from Fino Club but haven’t taken the plunge { they know about us through free community and social Media }. I spoke with them directly, understanding their hesitation—whether it’s a lack of awareness or simply the challenge of breaking away from their current networks. This feedback was crucial in refining our outreach strategy, making it more targeted and compelling and we need to make our new website launch live ASAP ~ only community and beta forms have already top lined.

3. Learning from Churned Members

While being a new brand we have v low churn .I wanted to have an Understanding why people leave is just as important as knowing why they stay. I reached out to former members, those who had once been engaged but drifted away. These conversations were eye-opening. Some had found value elsewhere, while others felt their needs had evolved beyond what Fino Club currently offers. This taught me that we need to not only continually innovate but also ensure we’re evolving alongside our members' growing sophistication and needs.Also I understood about the lifespan of users on market - Being a key reason for the churn.

4. Analyzing Competitor Users

To truly differentiate Fino Club, I needed to understand what makes our competitors tick. I engaged with users of other financial communities, finding out what drew them there and what kept them engaged. This competitive analysis revealed both our strengths and areas where we could do better was less as per current information ~ but there are lot of places which we can cut down on. Armed with this knowledge, I worked on sharpening our unique value proposition, ensuring Fino Club stands out in a crowded market.

5. Mapping the Stakeholder Ecosystem

Finally, I mapped out the broader ecosystem—identifying decision-makers, influencers, and even blockers. By understanding the power dynamics and the key players within the financial community, I was able to develop a strategic plan to win over these critical stakeholders specifically , parents and peers of different age groups. Whether it’s through exclusive partnerships, influencer collaborations, or simply better communication of our value, I ensured Fino Club was positioned to succeed on all fronts.

Understand Market

​

1. Total Addressable Market (TAM):

• Regions: Dubai, Singapore, and India
• Total Potential Customers: 3,800,000 (adjusted for more conservative estimates)
• ARPU: ₹15,000
• TAM = ₹57,000 Crores

2. Serviceable Available Market (SAM):

Target Market Segment:

• Reasoning: We’ll target a smaller, more precise segment of financially capable and engaged users, based on more conservative assumptions:
• 1. India: We'll now focus on 15% of the potential market, recognizing that financial literacy and willingness to invest in such platforms are still growing.
  2. Dubai and Singapore: We'll adjust to 30% of the market, considering the smaller but affluent populations.

SAM Calculation:

• India: 3,000,000 x 15% = 450,000 customers
• Dubai: 500,000 x 30% = 150,000 customers
• Singapore: 300,000 x 30% = 90,000 customers
• Total SAM Customers: 450,000 + 150,000 + 90,000 = 690,000 customers
• SAM Revenue: 690,000 x ₹15,000 = ₹10,350,000,000 (₹10,350 Crores)

3. Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM):

Market Penetration/Share:

• Reasoning: We’ll use a more conservative market penetration estimate, recognizing that building market share takes time, especially in competitive spaces:
• 1. India: Targeting 5% market penetration, considering the large, competitive landscape and the need for brand building.
  2. Dubai and Singapore: Targeting 7% market penetration, given higher levels of financial activity but still considering competition and market maturity.

SOM Calculation:

• India: 450,000 x 5% = 22,500 customers
• Dubai: 150,000 x 7% = 10,500 customers
• Singapore: 90,000 x 7% = 6,300 customers
• Total SOM Customers: 22,500 + 10,500 + 6,300 = 39,300 customers
• SOM Revenue: 39,300 x ₹15,000 = ₹589,500,000 (₹589.5 Crores)
