Questionnaire
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There are many varieties of snacks foods, which are produced in India, and the type of snack food varies according to the region. The snacks market has changed with the advent of innovative products. It has emerged as a fast, customized and large market. There is also a changing perception of consumers towards processed foods, served in centralized food service system. The primary reason for these changes is the dynamic marketing environment in the snacks business. Changes in the marketing environment have generated a need to reconsider the managerial perspectives on marketing in the snacks business. And in this new arena of increased competition and market saturation Haldiram’s is still doing well with highly satisfied customers. As it has very skilled management who can easily sense customer requirement, maintain product quality and frequent market research always assures product authenticity in the market. This Project has given me a great learning experience and at the same time it has provided me enough scope to implement my analytical ability. This project has helped me to know the importance of customer complaints, vendor development, use of MIS and ERP, promotional strategies of Haldiram’s, market visit, sales & distribution forecasting and market survey. The analysis and study presented in this Project Report is based on data analysis, market research, and thorough study of marketing strategies used in Haldiram’s to maintain its brand equity in the niche market. This Project as a whole provided insights into the different facts of marketing in an organization but the major focus can be divided majoring into four parts viz. market survey, research, promotional strategies and sales&distribution.
PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of the report is to learn the facets of marketing and do the forecasting of sales and laminates for Haldiram PVT. LTD. Along with that I have also worked in the following areas: Sales and distribution Market visit for retail shops 6
Market research on ―customer satisfaction” Promotional strategy
INTRODUCTION This project is done through EDS and under the title “Marketing and Sales &Distribution” Preparing this project I went to each and every distributors & retailers because I was doing market research & sales research. It include, total market volume that is being sold in grocery shop small shops and from distributors and retailers shopping malls big bazaar, and others where chips and namkeens are sold. I have collected about all the product of Haldiram’s but worked basically for chips and Namkeens segments. I went to the retailers and saw the chips and Namkeens there I observe the following things Whether our product is available or not at that canteen. If not then we saw of which company product is available. How much sale is of that particular counter and what the sales volume that counter may give to us. What is the strength of that particular counter? Has that counter so many brands of chips and Namkeens. And if we get our product, we used to asked the sales volume, response of consumer, delivery and thus came to know interest of retailers & consumers If we didn’t get our product we said , about our products, about the margin what about margin difference, comparing the competitors’ product and margin provided by them. And then we made them understand the extra facilities and unique selling point of our product and make them ready to sale our product. Thus we developed the market for Haldiram’s product. After this we saw the competitor’s product (quantity) and asked the strength. We also counted the signage and a stand of all the competitor’s company and Haldiram’s which is at that particular store.
7
After all I create a daily survey report and listed the total shops & canteens available in Ghaziabad. And then analyses the data which was collected from market. And then come to a conclusion on the basis of that analyzed data and information. After all it becomes possible to make a meaningful and useful report.
COMPANY PROFILE HaldiRam’s Corporate Success Story – Dreams Blooming into Reality HaldiRam’s : The Company which is today synonymous with Indian snacks and sweet food market started the first chapter of the saga, as a small sweet shop in Bikaner, Rajasthan in 1935 . By 1982, the company had set up its business in Kolkata, Nagpur & the bustling Chandni-Chowk in Delhi. An important diversification was inroads into the restaurant business with HaldiRam having 11 restaurants cum showrooms at locations of Delhi & NCR with plan to open various outlets in Northern India. Promoted by two 1st generation entrepreneurs Mr. M.L. Agarwal & Mr. M. S. Agarwal and backed by Board of Directors ( Mr. Pankaj, Anand, Amit, Ashish & Umesh Agarwal) and Management Team (Dr. A.K Tyagi (Pres), P.K. Agarwal (Consultant) , Rahul Kathuria , VK Gupta, Mr. A.K. Tyagi) , today, the Vision and Mission of the company is to have global presence as Food & beverage company through Innovation Professionalization Expansion Strategic Approach and, Business Acquisition Haldiram is on the way of its vision as today it is an ISO 9001 & HAC certified company and has presence all over India, 62 countries (UK, US , , Australia, UAE- to name a few) in world and top supermarkets of the world like TESCO, SOMMERFIELD, SPINNEYS, CARREFOUR. The fact that today HaldiRam exports 60 mn dollars goods and has ed 40% growth over last 5 years itself tells its success story Haldiram’s success saga is because of the pro-active thinking of making access into the traditional, fresh homemade food and skillfully converting it into a product line extension. 8
With it they have busted the myth that Indian consumers will not pay extra for western concept of packaged food and that two of the Indian Household kitchen category. Haldiram’s ingredients of success recipe includes a diversified product portfolio, stringent quality controls, good raw material, storage, production and packaging processes which has resulted in unparallel taste and extended shelf life, Also Haldiram’s sensitivity to catering to
the local palates (30 – 40% of Haldiram flavours are sensitized to suit local taste) has resulted in creating a loyal consumer base . Also no Modern trade is complete without stocking HaldiRam’s products. Also the Supply Chain which is broken down into two categories of retail and institutional sales is managed well by strong network of C&F, Distributors, Wholesalers and Retailers to make the product available at remotest town of the country. HaldiRam has managed details of right technology, packaging standardizations, consumer affordability, quality tasty products, and volume deliverables extremely well to weave the magical success saga. Last but not the least, the People behind the product – the local talent needs mentioning as they have helped HaldiRam grow big. Today, Haldiram can proudly claim that what began as a small-time enterprise in India is a global phenomenon now and HALDIRAM’S IS WAY OF LIFE FOR INDIANS NO MATTER WHICH COUNTRY THEY LIVE IN. Present Stock Now Today, Haldiram’s is a 1735.9 cr brand that is a familiar sight on shelves across the USA, UK and the Middle East. Non Resident Indians carry back packets of Haldiram’s along with the farewells and nostalgia. And it is this name that they look for as they scan shops for familiar scents and sights. Presently it has four plants in and around Delhi that produce 50 tonnes of namkeens (56 varieties), 20 tonnes of chips, papad (7 varieties) and fun food and 5 tonnes of tinned sweets (12 varieties) and soan papdi, on daily basis. Two more production units are coming up which will not only increase capacity but also makes it possible for us to introduce new product lines. For over 60 years now, the firm has been unifying the palate of India. It has not been the simplest of tasks; India speaks different taste buds to match. However, today it is a name that has become synonymous with taste and quality not only within India but the world over. Today Haldiram’s occupies considerable shelf space at prominent supermarkets the world over: Tesco, Summerfield, Sipneys, and Carrefore. From traditional Indian sweets and savouries to the more international chips, cookies, nuts and sherbets, its products are fast capturing the imagination of people making it possible for it to aim for deep penetration in the Middle East, East Europe and parts of North Africa. 9
Future Leveraging Our Existing Equity The firm plans to leverage its equity in the domestic and international market to become a food corporation with not just branded products under its belt but also restaurants, retail chains and wide portfolio that includes such diverse products as milk-based food and noodles. In the near future it hopes to be in places such as Algeria, Jorden, Yemen, Taiwan, Columbia, Cyprus, Ukraine, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Armenia, West Indies, Sweden, Finland, Trinidad, and Tobago. Haldiram’s success saga is because of the pro-active thinking of making access into the traditional, fresh homemade food and skilfully converting it into a product line extension. With they have busted the myth that Indian consumers will not pay extra for western concept of packaged food and that too of the Indian Household kitchen category. It has also invested considerably in an advanced processing and packaging unit, which enables it to marry tradition with technology. This is why, no matter whose shelf our product sits on, it always stands on its own. Also the Supply Chain which is broken down into two categories of retail and institutional sales is managed well by strong network of C&F, Distributors, Wholesalers and Retailers to make the product available at remotest town of the country.

DISTRIBUTION FLOW CHART Haldiram’s transacts on an advance RTGS basis from its wholesale dealers instead of the cheque or cash system adopted by other major FMCG companies. This practice is consistent with Haldiram’s philosophy of maintaining cash transactions throughout the supply chain and it also minimizes dumping. Distributers carry inventory that is just adequate to take care of the transit time from the branch warehouse (C&F) to their premises. This just-in-time inventory strategy improves dealers return on investment (ROI). All Haldiram’s branches engage in route scheduling and have dedicated vehicle operations.

Place One of the most important thing any companies is the place. When the company sales its product and for a good sales volume, the listenable things are segmenting targeting, and positioning is must. For this work the company recognized its customer i.e. who are the customer and where are they. Then he starts working. The coupon its customer and market place. Then target them and after all it creates a position in the customer mind. The Haldirams work in to ways since it is the market leads in Namkeen market so, it does not care of its competitor and need not to work more for its promotion and position due to its quality and brand name , but for chips its work regularly.

Findings The first and the major problem is that the company does not have direct and permanent contract with retailers. It is general complain that there is a big communication gap between the company and the retailers and no one is to solve their problem. The second problem of retailers is non availability of quick response of distributors. Distributors do not send the ready stock and thus the delivery man suffers the problems when the retailer demands in emergency. One of the major problems is i.e. they are the price difference. They are getting same product in different price from others suppliers (the other suppliers are giving on less price and schemes) thus this problem is very big for distributors and suppliers both. Second problem is wholesale market; the wholesale market is creating problem entering in distributors areas. The problem faced by the distributors is lack of stands in market. This problem disturbs the distributors and retailers both. Retailers demand stands to distributors because executive of others company does not allow to use their stands to put our product. There are no any wall paintings or banners in canteens as signage of Haldiram’s product while the competitors are providing many facilities like this.
58
Suggestion Company should consider the problems of retailers and canteen’s owner. Company should problems of distributors. Resettlement of dispute like non payments and wrong commitment problems is necessary by another executive. Stand should be provided to needy retailers because another company’s executive creates problem. Company should give the stands and racks to each and every counters where its product is sold. Company should prevent the interference of distributor in each others areas. Company should prevent the undercutting in market. Company should prevent the wholesale disturbance. Company should give the incentives to its executives as extra benefits after salary. Company should listen and care of sales executive. Company should recognize the problems in market. The very necessary work is market screening and recognizing the strength and weaknesses of competitors.
59
Company should spend some amount on ment of its products because the competitors are using celebrities as their promoter in ads. For Kurkure Juhi Chawla and for Lays Saif Ali Khan. Company should provide display to canteens and cafeterias. Company should paints the walls of cafeterias time to time because its competitors do this, this will bound the retailers to sale our product.
60
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY Absolute sales figures obtained from the survey through retailers may be inflated. The brand level penetration study is limited because the project is only dealing with Western Snacks and namkeen products and not the entire range of Snacks products available. Absolute sales figures for competitor brands obtained from sample space of retailers are insufficient to draw an analysis of sales performance for competitor brands. Given the time limit and scope of the project Market Penetration of Haldiram’s Western Snacks has not been calculated using the method of Total Sales to Total Consumer Base. Penetration percentage of Haldiram’s Western Snacks in the study will denote only an estimate of the availability of the product line in the Retail market. Given the time limit and constraints Competitive Analysis does not include identification of Indirect Competitors (substitutes). Interviewer’s judgment is used to fill the questionnaire according to the responses given by the retailers.

Questionnaire
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There are many varieties of snacks foods, which are produced in India, and the type of snack food varies according to the region. The snacks market has changed with the advent of innovative products. It has emerged as a fast, customized and large market. There is also a changing perception of consumers towards processed foods, served in centralized food service system. The primary reason for these changes is the dynamic marketing environment in the snacks business. Changes in the marketing environment have generated a need to reconsider the managerial perspectives on marketing in the snacks business. And in this new arena of increased competition and market saturation Haldiram’s is still doing well with highly satisfied customers. As it has very skilled management who can easily sense customer requirement, maintain product quality and frequent market research always assures product authenticity in the market. This Project has given me a great learning experience and at the same time it has provided me enough scope to implement my analytical ability. This project has helped me to know the importance of customer complaints, vendor development, use of MIS and ERP, promotional strategies of Haldiram’s, market visit, sales & distribution forecasting and market survey. The analysis and study presented in this Project Report is based on data analysis, market research, and thorough study of marketing strategies used in Haldiram’s to maintain its brand equity in the niche market. This Project as a whole provided insights into the different facts of marketing in an organization but the major focus can be divided majoring into four parts viz. market survey, research, promotional strategies and sales&distribution.
PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of the report is to learn the facets of marketing and do the forecasting of sales and laminates for Haldiram PVT. LTD. Along with that I have also worked in the following areas: Sales and distribution Market visit for retail shops 6
Market research on ―customer satisfaction” Promotional strategy
INTRODUCTION This project is done through EDS and under the title “Marketing and Sales &Distribution” Preparing this project I went to each and every distributors & retailers because I was doing market research & sales research. It include, total market volume that is being sold in grocery shop small shops and from distributors and retailers shopping malls big bazaar, and others where chips and namkeens are sold. I have collected about all the product of Haldiram’s but worked basically for chips and Namkeens segments. I went to the retailers and saw the chips and Namkeens there I observe the following things Whether our product is available or not at that canteen. If not then we saw of which company product is available. How much sale is of that particular counter and what the sales volume that counter may give to us. What is the strength of that particular counter? Has that counter so many brands of chips and Namkeens. And if we get our product, we used to asked the sales volume, response of consumer, delivery and thus came to know interest of retailers & consumers If we didn’t get our product we said , about our products, about the margin what about margin difference, comparing the competitors’ product and margin provided by them. And then we made them understand the extra facilities and unique selling point of our product and make them ready to sale our product. Thus we developed the market for Haldiram’s product. After this we saw the competitor’s product (quantity) and asked the strength. We also counted the signage and a stand of all the competitor’s company and Haldiram’s which is at that particular store.
7
After all I create a daily survey report and listed the total shops & canteens available in Ghaziabad. And then analyses the data which was collected from market. And then come to a conclusion on the basis of that analyzed data and information. After all it becomes possible to make a meaningful and useful report.
COMPANY PROFILE HaldiRam’s Corporate Success Story – Dreams Blooming into Reality HaldiRam’s : The Company which is today synonymous with Indian snacks and sweet food market started the first chapter of the saga, as a small sweet shop in Bikaner, Rajasthan in 1935 . By 1982, the company had set up its business in Kolkata, Nagpur & the bustling Chandni-Chowk in Delhi. An important diversification was inroads into the restaurant business with HaldiRam having 11 restaurants cum showrooms at locations of Delhi & NCR with plan to open various outlets in Northern India. Promoted by two 1st generation entrepreneurs Mr. M.L. Agarwal & Mr. M. S. Agarwal and backed by Board of Directors ( Mr. Pankaj, Anand, Amit, Ashish & Umesh Agarwal) and Management Team (Dr. A.K Tyagi (Pres), P.K. Agarwal (Consultant) , Rahul Kathuria , VK Gupta, Mr. A.K. Tyagi) , today, the Vision and Mission of the company is to have global presence as Food & beverage company through Innovation Professionalization Expansion Strategic Approach and, Business Acquisition Haldiram is on the way of its vision as today it is an ISO 9001 & HAC certified company and has presence all over India, 62 countries (UK, US , , Australia, UAE- to name a few) in world and top supermarkets of the world like TESCO, SOMMERFIELD, SPINNEYS, CARREFOUR. The fact that today HaldiRam exports 60 mn dollars goods and has ed 40% growth over last 5 years itself tells its success story Haldiram’s success saga is because of the pro-active thinking of making access into the traditional, fresh homemade food and skillfully converting it into a product line extension. 8
With it they have busted the myth that Indian consumers will not pay extra for western concept of packaged food and that two of the Indian Household kitchen category. Haldiram’s ingredients of success recipe includes a diversified product portfolio, stringent quality controls, good raw material, storage, production and packaging processes which has resulted in unparallel taste and extended shelf life, Also Haldiram’s sensitivity to catering to
the local palates (30 – 40% of Haldiram flavours are sensitized to suit local taste) has resulted in creating a loyal consumer base . Also no Modern trade is complete without stocking HaldiRam’s products. Also the Supply Chain which is broken down into two categories of retail and institutional sales is managed well by strong network of C&F, Distributors, Wholesalers and Retailers to make the product available at remotest town of the country. HaldiRam has managed details of right technology, packaging standardizations, consumer affordability, quality tasty products, and volume deliverables extremely well to weave the magical success saga. Last but not the least, the People behind the product – the local talent needs mentioning as they have helped HaldiRam grow big. Today, Haldiram can proudly claim that what began as a small-time enterprise in India is a global phenomenon now and HALDIRAM’S IS WAY OF LIFE FOR INDIANS NO MATTER WHICH COUNTRY THEY LIVE IN. Present Stock Now Today, Haldiram’s is a 1735.9 cr brand that is a familiar sight on shelves across the USA, UK and the Middle East. Non Resident Indians carry back packets of Haldiram’s along with the farewells and nostalgia. And it is this name that they look for as they scan shops for familiar scents and sights. Presently it has four plants in and around Delhi that produce 50 tonnes of namkeens (56 varieties), 20 tonnes of chips, papad (7 varieties) and fun food and 5 tonnes of tinned sweets (12 varieties) and soan papdi, on daily basis. Two more production units are coming up which will not only increase capacity but also makes it possible for us to introduce new product lines. For over 60 years now, the firm has been unifying the palate of India. It has not been the simplest of tasks; India speaks different taste buds to match. However, today it is a name that has become synonymous with taste and quality not only within India but the world over. Today Haldiram’s occupies considerable shelf space at prominent supermarkets the world over: Tesco, Summerfield, Sipneys, and Carrefore. From traditional Indian sweets and savouries to the more international chips, cookies, nuts and sherbets, its products are fast capturing the imagination of people making it possible for it to aim for deep penetration in the Middle East, East Europe and parts of North Africa. 9
Future Leveraging Our Existing Equity The firm plans to leverage its equity in the domestic and international market to become a food corporation with not just branded products under its belt but also restaurants, retail chains and wide portfolio that includes such diverse products as milk-based food and noodles. In the near future it hopes to be in places such as Algeria, Jorden, Yemen, Taiwan, Columbia, Cyprus, Ukraine, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Armenia, West Indies, Sweden, Finland, Trinidad, and Tobago. Haldiram’s success saga is because of the pro-active thinking of making access into the traditional, fresh homemade food and skilfully converting it into a product line extension. With they have busted the myth that Indian consumers will not pay extra for western concept of packaged food and that too of the Indian Household kitchen category. It has also invested considerably in an advanced processing and packaging unit, which enables it to marry tradition with technology. This is why, no matter whose shelf our product sits on, it always stands on its own. Also the Supply Chain which is broken down into two categories of retail and institutional sales is managed well by strong network of C&F, Distributors, Wholesalers and Retailers to make the product available at remotest town of the country.

DISTRIBUTION FLOW CHART Haldiram’s transacts on an advance RTGS basis from its wholesale dealers instead of the cheque or cash system adopted by other major FMCG companies. This practice is consistent with Haldiram’s philosophy of maintaining cash transactions throughout the supply chain and it also minimizes dumping. Distributers carry inventory that is just adequate to take care of the transit time from the branch warehouse (C&F) to their premises. This just-in-time inventory strategy improves dealers return on investment (ROI). All Haldiram’s branches engage in route scheduling and have dedicated vehicle operations.

Then target them and after all it creates a position in the customer mind. The Haldirams work in to ways since it is the market leads in Namkeen market so, it does not care of its competitor and need not to work more for its promotion and position due to its quality and brand name , but for chips its work regularly.

Findings The first and the major problem is that the company does not have direct and permanent contract with retailers. It is general complain that there is a big communication gap between the company and the retailers and no one is to solve their problem. The second problem of retailers is non availability of quick response of distributors. Distributors do not send the ready stock and thus the delivery man suffers the problems when the retailer demands in emergency. One of the major problems is i.e. they are the price difference. They are getting same product in different price from others suppliers (the other suppliers are giving on less price and schemes) thus this problem is very big for distributors and suppliers both. Second problem is wholesale market; the wholesale market is creating problem entering in distributors areas. The problem faced by the distributors is lack of stands in market. This problem disturbs the distributors and retailers both. Retailers demand stands to distributors because executive of others company does not allow to use their stands to put our product. There are no any wall paintings or banners in canteens as signage of Haldiram’s product while the competitors are providing many facilities like this.
58
Suggestion Company should consider the problems of retailers and canteen’s owner. Company should problems of distributors. Resettlement of dispute like non payments and wrong commitment problems is necessary by another executive. Stand should be provided to needy retailers because another company’s executive creates problem. Company should give the stands and racks to each and every counters where its product is sold. Company should prevent the interference of distributor in each others areas. Company should prevent the undercutting in market. Company should prevent the wholesale disturbance. Company should give the incentives to its executives as extra benefits after salary. Company should listen and care of sales executive. Company should recognize the problems in market. The very necessary work is market screening and recognizing the strength and weaknesses of competitors.
59
Company should spend some amount on ment of its products because the competitors are using celebrities as their promoter in ads. For Kurkure Juhi Chawla and for Lays Saif Ali Khan. Company should provide display to canteens and cafeterias. Company should paints the walls of cafeterias time to time because its competitors do this, this will bound the retailers to sale our product.
60
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY Absolute sales figures obtained from the survey through retailers may be inflated. The brand level penetration study is limited because the project is only dealing with Western Snacks and namkeen products and not the entire range of Snacks products available. Absolute sales figures for competitor brands obtained from sample space of retailers are insufficient to draw an analysis of sales performance for competitor brands. Given the time limit and scope of the project Market Penetration of Haldiram’s Western Snacks has not been calculated using the method of Total Sales to Total Consumer Base. Penetration percentage of Haldiram’s Western Snacks in the study will denote only an estimate of the availability of the product line in the Retail market. Given the time limit and constraints Competitive Analysis does not include identification of Indirect Competitors (substitutes). Interviewer’s judgment is used to fill the questionnaire according to the responses given by the retailers.
