Part 15/18 Partnerships & Institutional Linkages.

15.1 Ground Rule

No single pitch fits all. Each partner has a history, hopes, and hurts. We’ll change the story, not the truth. Simple language, clear do’s/don’ts, and examples a loader or a lawyer can both follow.

15.2 Stakeholder Snapshot: What they want vs what we say

PartnerWhat they secretly wantWhat we say (30-sec story)What we WILL doWhat we WON’T do

15.3 Micro–Scripts (use as-is on ground)

• Municipal Officer: “Sir, yeh hawker nahi, licensed micro-counter hai. Daily hygiene photo app par, kachra ham uthate. Crowd jam? We shift 10 metres. Aapko shanti, logon ko sehat.”

• CSR Head: “Aapka paisa bartan nahi, glasses of dignity serve karega. Meter, photos, IDs — sab proof milega.”

• School Principal: “Madam, ₹14 mein real fruit, no preservatives. Monday ko hygiene drill, Friday ko water test report WhatsApp.”

• Temple Trustee: “Seva quiet rehegi: white aprons, no loud branding, queue rails, 1,000 glasses/hour without pushing.”

15.4 Genuine Concerns & Plain Answers

• “Hygiene kaun dekhega?”

Daily photo checklist, weekly surprise audit; operator’s star-rating public.

• “Queue jam hoga?”

3-lane railings, 20–25 sec/glass, peak-hour volunteer.

• “Fake pulp?”

Hologram seal + QR batch trace. Operator fined if tampered.

• “EMI miss?”

Auto-split at source; NBFC sees live meter.

• “Religious sensitivities?”

Flavour calendar (fast-friendly), low-decibel zones, signages in local language.

• “Who cleans?”

Loader-cleaner roster with names on the app; gloves/soap issued; end-of-shift selfie.

15.5 The Loader–Cleaner SOP (because success is on their shoulders)

1. Loader (Raju): scans drum QR → logs “delivered 10 kg guava” → snaps counter photo.

2. Cleaner (Meena): end-of-day rinse, food-grade wash, 3-tap wipe → uploads 3 pics (nozzle, tank, floor).

3. Incentive: 26 green days = ₹500 bonus; 1 red flag = retrain next morning.

4. Respect rule: nameboard at hub: “Raju & Meena served 2,300 glasses safely this week.”

15.6 Partnership Red Lines (tell early, avoid pain)

• No substandard pulp or counterfeit cups.

• No counters in hospital ICUs, exam halls, or fire exits.

• No political branding on seva sites.

• No cash-under-the-table for permissions.

• No health claims like “cures anemia.” Juice is food, not pharma.

15.7 Mini–MOUs (one-pagers that work)

With a Temple Trust:

• 1 dispenser, Sat 4–8 pm, quiet branding.

• Target 2,000 glasses; funds released post-meter+photo report.

• Company handles trash & crowd rails.

• If crowd >3,000, add second unit within 30 minutes.

With a School:

• 1 counter, 12–3 pm; ₹14/glass.

• Weekly staff demo; monthly water test.

• Complaints resolved <24 hrs; 3 strikes → replace operator.

• Rent auto-deducted from sales; Sunday mela support.

15.8 “What’s-in-it-for-me?” (WIFM) Cheatsheet

• Municipality: fewer plastic bottles, cleaner junctions, happier voters.

• CSR: hard numbers, soft smiles, zero leakages.

• Faith bodies: faster seva, cooler crowds, no kitchen mess.

• Schools/Hospitals: safer alternative to fizzy/syrupy junk.

• Banks/NBFCs: assets that literally pour cash.

• Media: weekly good-news reel, human-led.

15.9 Handling Non-Complementary Agendas (without fights)

• “We want our syrup brand inside.”

“Our licence forbids non-fruit syrups. We can co-brand cups instead.”

• “Put our 8×12 hoarding.”

“Safety limits signage. We’ll give you app space + straw sleeve branding.”

• “Free juice daily forever.”

“We can schedule seva days monthly and paid days otherwise — same team, same quality.”

15.10 Escalation Ladder (fast + fair)

1. On-site fix (15 min): operator ↔ coordinator call.

2. City desk (4 hrs): reroute supply/tech.

3. Regional lead (24 hrs): machine swap/site shift.

4. HQ review (72 hrs): contract tweak or exit without drama.

15.11 Partnership Math (make it visible)

• Temple Saturday: 2,500 glasses × ₹18 (sponsored) = ₹45,000 → operator ₹12k, loaders/cleaners ₹3k, pulp+cups paid, donor gets audited joy.

• School Week: 1,200 glasses × ₹14 = ₹16,800 → safe hydration, angry-fizzy-bottle vanishes from gate.

15.12 Tone to Remember

We aren’t asking for favours. We are offering order, dignity, and proof.

Same dispenser can do commerce at noon and compassion at dusk — if partners walk with us on clear rules written in human words.
