Revenue model

PPF costs range from ₹20,000 to ₹160,000 for cars in India, with bike PPF at lower price points. Complemented by ceramic coating over PPF for enhanced slickness and finish. PPF backed by 5-year warranty.

Total studio setup cost is ₹60 lakh per location, shared 50:50 (company ₹30 lakh + participants ₹30 lakh from up to 5 co-owners). Company absorbs operating losses; participants earn profit share proportional to investment. Running stores cite average monthly profits of ₹1–1.5 lakh.
