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
from each of the 20 States...

Rs. 6 (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

Rs. 24 lakhs in just 20 minutes. (from people trying for the Rs.2 lakhs cash
prize)

Imagine what if 1000 entries are tried out from 100 cities?

The figure simply grows by 2 more zeroes and yields a whopping Rs. 24
Crores!

And it doesn't 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 Rs. 100 crores earnings in just 20 minutes on every
episode!!!

And the prize money: A mere Rs. 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 money from advertisements?

A rough annual profit calculation goes like this:

(2400 x 5 x 4) (episode/month) x 12 = Rs. 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 Rs. 480 crores of prize money
i.e., assuming every episode bags Rs. 2 crore prize)!

Rs. 2,88,000-crores profit !!! (only from SMS)

And now, a simple Question:

"KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI" ?

and your options are---

A) SONY TV
B) AIRTEL
C) AMITABH BACHAN
D) SIDDHARTH BASU
