PROBLEM STATEMENT

Hey reader, this was an assignment that i worked on for Kotak here's the problem statment.

ALTERNATE is a fictitious platform for people to make investments in alternate avenues like: art, vintage cars, and other collector’s items whose value is expected to increase over time. These collectables are purchased outright from their owners by ALTERNATE and stored safely to maintain their condition. The collectables are then listed on the ALTERNATE platform where users can buy theirstocks to become shareholders. Users can also trade stocks between each other. Users make money by (A) selling their shares to other users at a profit; i.e. selling your stock to someone at a higher rate than what you purchased it —or (B) Earning from an

item buyout; i.e. when an external entity makes an outright purchase of the listed itemfor their personal use.

Investor

1. Offerings

New collectibles acquired by Alternate are fractionalized into shares and launched as limited-time investment opportunities.

Users can enter early at the initial listing price and participate in assets before they move into open trading.


User Value

Early access to premium assets

Lower entry price perception

Scarcity-driven participation

2. Trading (P2P)

Once an offering closes, shares move into a live secondary market where users can buy and sell with one another.

Prices move based on demand, creating liquidity and ongoing engagement.


User Value

Ability to enter later

Opportunity to exit positions

Real-time price discovery

3. Exited

When an external buyer purchases the full asset outright, the collectible exits the platform and all shareholders receive their payout proportional to ownership.

This creates clear wealth-realization moments and builds trust in the model.


User Value

Realized returns

Transparent payout outcomes

Confidence in long-term platform value

About

This project was quite critical from a conversion standpoint current user base of the elite users were 15% but they accounted for 28% of the d2c revenue. We wanted to increase that percentage. This meant tackling multiple flows accross different user journeys.
