accessibility of the prerequisite of different organizations.

completely founded on the investigation and the discoveries of the specialist.

- Some of the inquiries were left unfilled or filled in rush with false answers by the

Level of Brand awareness of Mswipe tech ltd in Odisha

Apart from expanding its existing line of mPOS terminals, the company is driving forward on
two new initiatives - smart POS terminals and UPI QR codes.
As UPI QR codes is a new product recently launched into the market it was found that the
knowledge about this product is close to minimum in the market.

Mswipe Technologies Private Limited, a point-of-sale network provider, said that it has raised $30
million in a Series E funding round from existing investors Falcon Edge, B Capital, Epiq Capital and
DSG Growth Partners. The company aims to have 1.5 million merchants on its platform by the end of
FY 2020. Apart from expanding its existing line of mPOS terminals, the company is driving forward on
two new initiatives – smart POS terminals and UPI QR codes. It would use the funding to deepen these
initiatives, which are already underway. Currently, the company has over 400,000 merchants on its
platform.

level of Customer Expectation

The best part of this solution is that all the transaction done through this will be credited immediately to the
User wallet and can be used in offering services to customers such as :-

1. Mobile Recharges
2. Bill Payments (Gas/ Electricity / Water etc)
3. Buses (Tour and Travel Buses)
4. Flights booking both domestic and international.
5. Railways Tickets can also be booked
6. Funds can be used for Money Remittance
7. AePS / Micro ATM can withdraw cash and earn commission
8. PAN card applications.

With the recent face to face interaction with different business organization in the current market it
was found the prospects are very acceptable towards the new product as it solves many major
problem of payment through many ways like phone pay , paytm , Tez ect into one account which
makes easy to handle as per new clients.

Suggesting the company other alternatives for better market penetration

As UPI QR codes is a new initiative taken by Mswipe to enhance the activity of online payment,it has
proved to be a successful campaign across India . Mswipe plans to have 1.5 million merchants on its
platform by the end of 2019-20 financial year from the current base of over 400,000 merchants.
Hence according to the current scenario the Mswipe technology ltd is achieving its targets and does not have
to take any alternative measure

interested or not about installing the QR codes as a mode of transaction at their organization. The study done
was a web based and the method of sampling used was judgmental sampling. The interview done to the new
prospects during my period of internship was an unstructured interview with complete informal interaction
with the respondents

SWOT ANALYSIS OF MSWIPE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Strength:
 Mswipe is India's biggest free versatile POS shipper acquirer and system supplier. We trust in
serving the littlest of dealers.
 India as of now has 12-15 million SMEs and versatile POS is the main channel which can
productively interface these SMEs to standard budgetary administrations and advanced trade.
 Today under 500,000 SMEs have any kind of POS.
Weakness:
- More emphasis is given to POS at Mswipe.
- Not a big sales force with 1170 employes
- Though the organization is into an enormous number of items and clients however it has needed to
encase the bit of leeway.
Opportunity:
- The market is yet to be investigated in Odisha. So Mswipe has an extraordinary chance to build up
itself all the more conspicuously over the state.

- With innovation developing every single day, there is opportunity from rising innovation and new
administrations.

- Opportunity for more profound infiltration into enormous records and business clients.

- Expansion into new topographies the country over just as abroad.

Threat:
- With so many new companies coming up each and every day, it possesses a real competition to
Mswipe
- With technology evolving each and every day, the company has to be on its toes to fulfill the
changing demand of the clients.
- Instability of political environment.
1

- FUTURE SCOPE
Mswipe has presented some new conceivable outcomes in installment industry, for example,

o "Card on conveyance" for web based business administrators;

o SME's and experts, for example, specialists, physio-advisors, inside decorators tolerating card
installments

o Mswipe's answer incorporates with the current applications of clients and can post installment
subtleties legitimately into the backend frameworks of clients to wipe out the undertaking of
accommodating installments against requests

To give some examples, Jabong and Myntra enable clients to pay via 'Card on conveyance', insurance
agencies – HDFC life coverage, Max Bupa are tolerating protection premiums at clients' homes, Orchid
lodging currently permits registration in the visitor's room, Inox and Satyam Cinemas enables clients to
purchase tickets at booths controlled by our answer.

CONCLUSION

- It is extremely hard to anticipate the accurate client needs of various retailers as a large
portion of the chiefs need online installment proficiency. Brand building takes an entire
procedure of making, conveying and catching the worth.

- The above report depends on an exploration accomplished for a time of two months to
have a superior comprehension about the degree of marking and advancement of the
result of Mswipe-QR codes in Bhubaneswar .

- The study demonstrated us about different factors, for example, the commonality of
Mswipe brand in the market, learning.

- Mswipe is yet to achieve incredible statures to the extent the brand mindfulness is
concerned. The multi month review demonstrated to us that the greater part of the
organizations or the customers is uninformed about Mswipe Technologies Limited and its
items. In any case, the positive out of it was that in the wake of clarifying the customers
about the organization and the item QR codes they were more than content with the
innovation

- Mswip has clutched its place for the last 5years. In any case, this simply the start of an
adventure that guarantees a brilliant future ahead.
