Partnership Proposal Kit
Small Indian service businesses grow fastest when they borrow somebody else's audience. A tiffin service does not need to advertise to every hostel resident in the city if it can sign one deal with the warden of a 90-bed PG. Yet most owners never get there, because a partnership conversation needs paperwork most small firms simply do not have: a clear offer, a written split, and a document the other side can show their boss. The founder ends up pitching over WhatsApp, the partner asks for something in writing, and the deal quietly dies.
The intern builds the missing paperwork as a complete partnership kit for Ghar Ka Tiffin, a fictional Nagpur home-style tiffin service with 180 subscribers at ₹2,400 a month that wants to reach 400 without spending on ads. Working in google-sheets they map 24 candidate partners across three archetypes and score each on fit, then design three partnership models and a value-exchange calculator that shows what both sides earn. In canva they produce three model one-pagers and a ten-slide proposal deck with swappable partner slides, and in google-docs they write the fill-in proposal template, a plain-language two-page term sheet, and a four-step outreach sequence for linkedin, email and in-person approaches.
The project builds skill in partner prospecting, commercial structuring, value articulation, and business writing that survives being forwarded to someone senior. Alliance and channel roles across startups, edtech and FMCG distribution hire exactly for this, and a kit that a real founder could open and use tomorrow demonstrates commercial judgement in a way no coursework does.
