Curated Workshop & Experience Marketplace for Urban Families
The Opportunity
Ahmedabad's weekend activity market is fragmented across multiple venues (Conflictorium, 079 Stories, Scrapyard Theatre, Karnavati Club), making it difficult for parents and young people to discover, compare, and book age-appropriate workshops and cultural events. There is no unified platform aggregating these experiential learning opportunities.
Market Size
₹800 crore–₹1,200 crore Indian experiential learning and weekend activity market (Tier-1 cities); Ahmedabad's segment estimated at ₹60–80 crore annually based on urban family spending on enrichment activities.
Business Model
Commission-based marketplace (10–15% per booking) connecting workshop providers (art studios, theatres, cultural organizations) with families. Revenue from venue partnerships, featured listings, and promotional packages. White-label app for multiple cities.
Commission on ticket bookings: ₹20–50 lakh annually (assuming 5,000–10,000 bookings/year at 12% commission)Premium vendor partnerships: ₹3–8 lakh annually (featured listings, priority visibility)Corporate team-building bundles: ₹10–15 lakh annually
