The market size slide for a travel pitch deck

Investors want proof that enough travellers or the businesses that serve them exist to build a large company. Here is a bottom-up market slide for Safarnama, and the weak version most founders send.

Sample slide for a fictional company · illustrative numbers
Long term: 20 million domestic leisure travellersNext: 2.5 million adventure travellers in India 350,000travellers we can reach
