3 aspects:-
1) Bringing offline Merchants to online platform
2) Market to provide those Merchants with Customers
3) Provide cashback to customers on services consumed on those partnered Merchants from the commission earned from them.
Current Status
The business is already in operation and we are seeing a measurable success in it. From India standpoint, there is a great potential to grow, especially Tier-II cities which are currently least focused but have great strength and striving for it. GetUmoney has been successfully onboarding Merchants in Tier-II cities and getting great response from them.

Problem or Opportunity
The Market Problem
1) Smartphone users in India uninstall nearly 70% of apps soon after they download them due to mobile space or mobile data for regular updates etc.
2) Users need to look for multiple apps to cater their needs which impacts their life i.e. Shopping, Recharge, Gym, Health Checkups, Restaurants, Groceries, Food Delivery, Beauty Salon, Boutique.
3) Even in Today’s digital time, the offline merchants have their own dominance in India and is looking for support to be online to reach maximum crowd for their offline business, specially for Tier-II cities which are least focused so far.

Business model
Our Business Proposition
1) Is to approach online & offline merchants in different categories and propose that GetUmoney be allowed to market and promote their products and services on its platform – without any cost to them, but with an agreed revenue sharing/margin for each matured customer lead who does transaction with them.
2) Is to approach customers and aware them on the cashback benefits on each of their transaction with partnered merchants in various categories.
