ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In this project I have made an honest and dedicated attempt to make the research material as authentic as it could. And I earnestly hope that it provides useful and workable information and knowledge to any person reading it. During this small time frame of two months in which the project reached its completion, there were a few people whom I would like to make a mention of and without whose help the project would have never seen the light of the day. I also thank to my internal guide Dr. Dinesh Sharma for his timely response via e-mail, which immensely helped in giving the project the initial direction it needed. I would like to thank my external guide Mr. S. K. Dabar (Branch Manager) who gave me a free hand as far as going about the project work was concerned. I dedicate this project to the Dealers of Aligarh district who were extremely kind and who at times went out of the way to help me. Without their co-operation it would have perhaps not been possible to research a few places, which I did, within the stipulated time frame.

PREFACE Management training has gained rapid importance only recently. Management was previously considered as an inborn art or talent. But in todays fast developing word this view has been abandoned. To develop managerial capabilities and to supplement their theoretical knowledge with practical experience, the management students are required to go training in business organization. This study would not only help me as a management student to gain a deep insight of how an organization works but also practical usage of all management techniques that I have learnt during the course of my study. This project would also help me analyze the difference between the organizational realities and the theories that have been taught in my academic session and also gave me a real experience of the corporate world let me better understand how it function. It also taught me how to take every experience in the right and learn from each one. Finally the analysis feasible to be put to test in real life situations. I shall consider all my hard work worthwhile if this endeavor of mine is able to satisfy all those concerned and proves useful to anyone or for any further study in the future.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Over its 120 years of existence, the Dabur brand has stood for goodness through a natural lifestyle. An umbrella name for a variety of products, ranging from hair care to honey, Dabur has consistently ranked among Indias top brands. Its brands are built on the foundation of trust that a Dabur offering will never cause one harm. The trust levels that this brand enjoys are phenomenally high. While Ries and Trout may ask What does Dabur stand forshampoo or digestive tablets? The answer is fairly simple, it stands for Indias fourth largest fast moving consumer goods company that both consumers and trade respect and trust unequivocally, and which has an annual turnover of over Rs 15 billion. The company has kept an eye on new generations of customers with a range of products that cater to a modern lifestyle, while managing not to alienate earlier generations of loyal customers. Dabur is an investor friendly brand as its financial performance shows. There is an abundance of information for its investors and prospective information including a daily update on the share price (something that very few Indian brands do). Theres a great sense of responsibility for investors funds on view. This is a direct extension of Daburs philosophy of taking care of its constituents and it adds to the sense of trust for the brand overall.

Dabur India Limited has marked its presence with some very significant achievements and today commands a market leadership status. Our story of success is based on dedication to nature, corporate and process hygiene, dynamic leadership and commitment to our partners and stakeholders. The results of our policies and initiatives speak for themselves.

Founding Thoughts "What is that life worth which cannot bring comfort to others" The doorstep 'Daktar' The story of Dabur began with a small, but visionary endeavour by Dr. S. K. Burman, a physician tucked away in Bengal. His mission was to provide effective and affordable cure for ordinary people in far-flung villages. With missionary zeal and fervour, Dr. Burman undertook the task of preparing natural cures for the killer diseases of those days, like cholera, malaria and plague.

Soon the news of his medicines traveled, and he came The mission continues... to be known as the trusted 'Daktar' or Doctor who came up with effective cures. And that is how his venture Dabur got its name - derived from the Devanagri rendition of Daktar Burman. Dr. Burman set up Dabur in 1884 to produce and dispense Ayurvedic medicines. Reaching out to a wide mass of people who had no access to proper treatment. Dr. S. K. Burman's commitment and ceaseless efforts resulted in the company growing from a fledgling medicine manufacturer in a small Calcutta house, to a household name that at once evokes trust and reliability.

Good corporate governance and transparency in actions of the management is key to a strong bond of trust with the Companys stakeholders. Dabur understands the importance of good governance and has constantly avoided an arbitrary decisionmaking process. Our initiatives towards this end include:

Professionalisation of the board Lean and active Board(reduced from 16 to 10 members) Less number of promoters on the Board More professionals and independent Directors for better management Governed through Board committees for Audit, Remuneration, Shareholder

Grievances, Compensation and Nominations

27

When our Founder Dr. S. K. Burman first established Dabur, he had a vision that saw beyond the profit motive. In his words, "What is that life worth which cannot bring comfort to others." This ideal of a humane and equitable society led to initiatives taken to give back some part of what Dabur has gained from the community. Our major initiatives in the Social sector include:

Establishment of the Sustainable Development Society, or Sundesh, in 1993

- a non-profit organisation to promote research and welfare activities in rural areas;

Promoting health and hygiene amongst the underpriviledged through the

Chunni Lal Medical Trust; and

Organising the Plant for Life programme for schoolchildren - to create

environmental awareness amongst young minds.

Our commitment to Environment

Ancient wisdom of conservation From times immemorial, Indian sages and men of wisdom have understood and

28

appreciated the value of nature and its conservation. Our ancestors recognised that if we grabbed from nature beyond what was healthy, it would lead to all round degradation, and even the extinction of humanity. That is why nature was sanctified and worshipped in the form of gods and goddesses.

Dabur upholds the tradition Today, we at Dabur also value nature's bounty. Without the fruits of nature, the vision of Dabur would never have been fulfilled. And that is the reason for our unfailing commitment to ecological conservation and regeneration. We would like to follow the principles of our ancient texts, which say: "Dehi me dadami te" - "you give me, and I give you".

Back to Nature Rare herbs and medicinal plants are our most valuable resource, from which all our products are derived. Due to overexploitation of these resources and unsustainable practices, these plants and herbs are fast reaching the point of extinction. In view of this critical situation, Dabur has initiated some significant programmes for ecological regeneration and protection of endangered plant secies.

29

Plants for Life We have set up the "Plants for Life" project in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas. Under the project, a high-tech greenhouse facility has been set up for developing saplings of rare and endangered medicinal plants. Fully computercontrolled and monitored, this greenhouse maintains the highly critical environmental parameters required for their survival. We are also developing quality saplings of more than 20 herbs, 8 of them endangered, through micro propagation.

In addition, satellite nurseries spread across mountain villages and contract cultivation of medicinal herbs helps in maintaining the ecological balance. These measures have also helped provide local cultivators the scientific knowledge for harvesting herbs and a steady source of income. So that they are not forced to exploit the environment to earn a livelihood.

Living a Green Heritage These are significant steps that can contribute to a better world for coming generations. To whom we would like to bequeath a world not bereft of nature. But full of flowering and fruit bearing trees, animals, birds and humans living in good health and complete harmony.

OVERVIEW OF FMCG SECTOR IN INDIA

The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy with a total market size in excess of US$ 13.1 billion. It has a strong MNC presence and is characterised by a well-established distribution network, intense competition between the organised and unorganised segments and low operational cost. Availability of key raw materials, cheaper labour costs and presence across the entire value chain gives India a competitive advantage. The FMCG market is set to treble from US$ 11.6 billion in 2003 to US$ 33.4 billion in 2015. Penetration level as well as per capita consumption in most product categories like jams, toothpaste, skin care, hair wash etc in India is low indicating the untapped market potential. Burgeoning Indian population, particularly the middle class and the rural segments, presents an opportunity to makers of branded products to convert consumers to branded products. Growth is also likely to come from consumer 'upgrading' in the matured product categories. With 200 million people expected to shift to processed and packaged food by 2010, India needs around US$ 28 billion of investment in the food-processing industry.
35

India is one of the largest emerging markets, with a population of over one billion. India is one of the largest economies in the world in terms of purchasing power and has a strong middle class base of 300 million.Around 70 per cent of the total households in India (188 million) resides in the rural areas. The total number of rural households are expected to rise from 135 million in 2001-02 to 153 million in 2009-10. This presents the largest potential market in the world. The annual size of the rural FMCG market was estimated at around US$ 10.5 billion in 200102. With growing incomes at both the rural and the urban level, the market potential is expected to expand further.

Critique of selling
In theory, the purpose of selling is to help a customer realize his or her goals in an economic fashion. However, in reality this is not always the case. Customers can be influenced to purchase a product or service that initially was not of interest to them. Some salespeople are trained in the art of selling customers things they don't need. Take for example the purchasing of a car: a consumer may have a set of cars in mind (called an evoked set) that she feels match her needs, wants and budget. She may seek the advice of a salesperson given that a salesperson can help her realize the right car given those criteria. This can be a socially useful function; salespeople have specialized knowledge of products that can help consumers make an informed decision. However, a salesperson may also talk a consumer into purchasing a more expensive or perhaps larger car then she needs or can afford. In this context, the salesperson may have usefully helped the customer re-evaluate her needs, thereby establishing a new set of appropriate choices among which included the newer or large car. This again would be a helpful and useful service provided by the salesperson. However, it is sometimes the case that customers purchase a product or service that was not initially intended and remains an inappropriate purchase after the fact. On the other hand, the consumer in this scenario can be held partially responsible for the inappropriate purchase; indeed, "A fool and his money are soon parted." (P.T. Barnum, English proverbs)

42

This dysfunctional behavior is encouraged by: Incentives of salespeople to increase their total number of sales, especially where retailers keep track of sales or offer commission-based salaries Incentives from the manufactures of products or the companies of service providers to salespeople to sell their products where other similar products offered by competitors are offered The incentive to sell a customer a product that is in need of being cleared out, despite the fact that a customer may be better to wait for the new product

CONSUMERS
The above diagram it shows channel of distribution of dabur foods, here first the products are manufactured and from Manufacturing plants the packed goods are supplied to Clearing And Forwarding Agents(C&FA) and from here the goods are then further supplied to number of Stockiest or Distributors, from here goods reaches to large number of Retailers and it is the duty of Stockiest to take orders from retailers and then supply the goods to them, this work is generally done by stockiest salesman through ready stock or by taking orders first and then placing the order. From here the goods finally reaches to Customers. Customer purchases the product from retailers. This was the basic Channel of Distribution used by Dabur Foods, now I will throw light on each channel of distribution of Dabur Foods.

Supply Chain Management:

Supply chain management starts before physical distribution: it involves procuring the right inputs (raw materials, components and capital equipment), converting them into finished products and dispatching them to the final destinations. The supply chain perspective can help identify superior suppliers and distributors and help them improve productivity, which ultimately brings down the companys costs. A broader view sees a company at the center of a value network that includes its suppliers, its immediate customers and their end customers. The value network includes valued relations with others such as university researchers, government approval agencies and so on.
45

MANUFACTURING PLANT:
Dabur Foods has Number of products in its product line but its main area of interest or the product on which they concentrate the most is Real Juice & Coolers. Dabur has its manufacturing plant at Nepal and at Jaipur where juice is manufactured and tested.

PROCUREMENT & TRANSPORT:

Getting the raw material and packaging material requirement from the production unit in charge Constant updates on the procurement of materials and transport details Production details and ingredient content information from the different personnel and coordinating this activity

STP ANALYSIS OF DABUR CHYAWANPRASH

SEGMENTATION

Dabur Chyawanprash is the market leader in the Chyawanprash segment. It comes under the category of health supplements. The segments that it considers are growing kids, competitive youth, ever busy housewives and the aged. For the growing kids: In today's competitive environment, the children are under high pressure to excel. For the competitive youth: Modern life keeps the youth busy and demands them to be active and efficient. For ever-busy housewives: The 'homemaker' needs to be fit in order to shoulder all responsibilities. For the aged: Old age weakens a person physically and mentally. After segmenting the population into these categories it aims to keep them fit and healthy.

62

TARGETING

Traditionally, chyawanprash was supposed to be a health supplement for the aged and kids. Dabur Chyawanprash (DCP) is now targeting adults, housewives, youth and kids .This it is trying to achieve through its promotion activities by making Amitabh Bacchan and Vivek Oberoi do the endorsement act. Amitabh has been projected as a user of Chyawanprash attempting to establish the relevance of DCP amongst the adults in todays demanding lifestyle. Vivek, who represents an urban ambitious non-user with a mindset that Chyawanprash is not for him, meets his moment of truth when outperformed by a young Chyawanprash user, thus reaching out to kids. His final conversion from a nonuser to a Chyawanprash user connects with the Youth. These two ads compliment each other and connect very well with the targeted consumers

63

POSITIONING

COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
The key competitors of Dabur in the Chyawanprash segment are Baidyanath, Zandu and Himani, which together with Dabur have about 85% of India's domestic market. Dabur is India's largest Ayurvedic medicine supplier and the fourth largest producer of FMCG. It was established in 1884, and had grown to a business level in 2003 of about 650 million dollars per year, though only a fraction of that is involved with Ayurvedic medicine. Dabur Chyawanprash (herbal honey) has a market share of 61%.We have tried to analyse the competition for Dabur in the Chyawanprash segment as follows:

85

Sri Baidyanath Ayurvedic Bhawan Ltd. (Baidyanath for short) was founded in 1917 in Calcutta, and specializes in Ayurvedic medicines, though it has recently expanded into the FMCG sector with cosmetic and hair care products; one of its international products is Shikakai (soap pod) Shampoo.Its Chyawanprash has a market share of 10%.

Zandu Pharmaceutical Works It was incorporated in Bombay in 1919, named after an 18th-century Ayurvedic. The company focuses primarily on Ayurvedic products (in 1930, pharmaceuticals were added, but the pharmaceutical division was separated off about 30 years later).
86

The Himani Group, It founded in 1974, provides a diverse range of products, doing 110 million dollars of business annually, though only a portion is involved with Ayurvedic products, through its Himani line; the company is mainly involved with toiletries and cosmetics, but also provides Chyawanprash and other health products.Its market share is 12%.

87

CONCLUSIONS
The Chyawanprash Industry is yet to capture the beverage market in full swing. Packed Chyawanprash followed by Amla, Ashwagandha, Hareetaki, Dashmul, Ghrit and several other herbs and herbal extracts. the market. The consumers patriotic love for tea and coffee is unfared. Chyawanprash are yet to establish their supplement use in the average household here in lies the great opportunities. Within the market, it is safe to conclude that dabur has hit off ratherwell with the masses. dabur has clearly lost it head start advantage and thereby acquiring just 35% of the market share while others enjoys rest of the market share. This could be well attributed to dabor successful ATA

(Availability, Taste and Affordability) marketing module, the attributes most rated by the consumers. Lack of publicity has hampered the growth progress of the brand so aggressive advertising is needed to promote Chyawanprash and vatika hair oil brand .The brands such as that of Chyawanprash by vednath, Chyawanprash with its sonacahndi, Minutemade and also US food giantssDel Monte are ready to hit the Chyawanprash market very soon. As the strategies of the companies keeps on changing, be it in Chyawanprash industry, a company has to create perceptions and cover them into realities. It is an expensive proposition requiring huge

expenditure on advertising, sponsorships and media. Thus, the ideal company will be the one which combines the high end technology with consumer insight. As 16% of the excise duty is exempted on food products in this budget , Many food companies including Dabur got benefited from it . On the analysis of survey it was found that target Market of Chyawanprash want quality benefit rather then Price benefit, so it is better to stress on quality rather than on decreasing price to increase sales and profit. To increase market share Dabur should give slight price benefit on Dabur brand so that customers of other Juice brand should switch from other brand to Dabur brand .

RECOMMENDATIONS

our target consumers with safe, efficacious, natural solutions by synthesizing the deep knowledge of ayurveda and herbs with modern science.

Provide consumers with innovative products within easy reach. Vatika hair care centre: On the lines of Maricos Kaya Skin Clinic, Dabur

could start a venture called Vatika hair care centre which would provide total hair care solutions. It could have hair care experts to solve hair problems.Services could include dandruff treatment, straightening of hair, treatment for split ends,etc.

Position Dabur Chyawanprash as not more of a medicine but as something

which is necessary for health.

More initiatives like Dabur ki Deewar to increase brand visibility. It is an

initiative to occupy shelf space.
