You all know KBC is Good Business. But have you ever pondered... How Good....???? Any guesses? Let's see... Airtel is charging Rs.6/- per SMS sent for this contest. Assuming there are only 100 entries from say 10 cities of some 20 districts and 20 states... 6(Rs/SMS) x 100(entries) x 10(cities) x 20(districts) x 20(states) = 6 x 100 x 10 x 20 x 20 = Rs.24,00,000 24 lakhs in 20 minutes. (People trying for the 2 lakhs cash prize) Imagine what if 1000 entries try out from 100 cities? The figure simply grows by 2 more zeroes and yields a whopping 24 Crores!!!! And it does not stop there... In practice it could be another multiple of 100 or a multiple of 1000 on an average. In that case it is 24 x 100crores earnings in just 20 minutes on every episode!!! And the prize money: A mere 2 crore.. (and from whose pocket?) Smart Business By Siddharth Basu! And the best part of this calculation is just the SMS earning!! What about the Ad money? A rough annual profit calculation goes like this: 2400 x 5 x 4) (episode/month) x 12 = 5,76,000 crores. Let even 50% get dissolved in taxes and other payments, still you will be left with (which includes even the meagre 480 crores of prize money i.e.if every episode bags 2 crore prize)! 2,88,000-crores profit !!! (only from SMS) Simple Question: "KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI" and your options are--- A) SONY TV B) AIRTEL C) AMITABH BACHAN D) SIDDHARTH BASU Computerji iska jawab bataiye.... Ans: All FOUR..!!!! PS: Now you know why AB gets all emotional when the episodes end...........
