the whole of India. Anmol is looking at a turnover of Rs 239 crore end of this fiscal, and works
through 2000 distributors with presence across 3 lakh retail outlets in India.
The Company is having a market share of around 25-33% taking into consideration the factor
like price, quality, and brand. Market share can also be evaluated on the area wise segmentation.
For e.g, In Rourkela, Bus Stand area anmol is contributing only 5% of the market share as the
major of the market share is divided among Mukund, Jaya etc.
Competition – The Company is facing competition form Britannia, Sunfeast, Parle-G, Mukund,
Jaya, Sujata, Biskfarm in terms of price, quality, market share and most importantly brand. Many
products can be compared with Anmol Biscuit.
The Customers – For understanding the customer first we have to know the product of the
company. It offer a wide range of biscuits such as Cream Biscuit, Sweet Biscuit, Salted Biscuit,
Cakes, Sweet and Salted Biscuit, Sugar Free Biscuit and Rusks which are manufactured using
premium quality ingredients such as maida, sugar and vanaspathi, and are widely acknowledged
across the globe for their excellent taste and variety of flavours.
Apart from offering a range of biscuits it also offers a variety of food items that are shown
below:
The customer is more concerned on the quality as well as cost aspect therefore the company aims
at keeping the old customers as well as making new customers. The customers are segmented on
the basis of geographic, age, income, social class, and psychographic. The consumers of Anmol
biscuits mainly children but there are some products which are focused on each section of age
group of people. There are certain products as family packs which are consumed by the family.
The buying pattern of the customers regarding the Anmol products depends on the demand of the
products by the population.
The Competition - Many products can be compared with Anmol Biscuit as they are similar.
For e.g., 2 in 1 from Anmol its counterpart 3 in 1 from Mukund. Marie is common in almost
every company and is produced under different names like Marie, Marie Time from Anmol;
Marie gold form Britannia; Marie Light from Sunfeast. So in order to make the market of one
product we have to fight with other similar product of different companies.

implementation of SAP Business One. The reasons behind the implementation of SAP Business
One were
• Systemize operations
• Integrated management information systems

Implementation highlights
SAP was implemented because it was within budget and shorter implementation time required.
e-Tomato followed a planned approach for the implementation. They studied the
organization structure and business processes, performed a system analysis, looked carefully at
the company’s expectations and then proposed an implementation roadmap. The system was
then configured. All the major modules including production, finance, sales, HR, quality, stores,
sales and marketing were configured. Store transaction was integrated with the financial system.

each user point accountable for the lapsesthat might occur from time to time. Better information
flow has improved delivery schedules. The system has improved customer responsiveness and

ENVIRONMENT
The Environment- It includes the micro as well macro environment. Micro environment
includes:-
• Suppliers
• Marketing Intermediaries
• Customers
• Economic environment- It includes general economy; business cycle which has four
phases like growth/prosperity, recession, depression, recovery; buying power which
includes the financial sources like income, wealth; willingness to spend. If there is a big
economic downturn in the market then the customers will switch to cheaper options and
will not buy expensive biscuits.
• Political- Running health campaign to discourage people from eating too many fatty
foods. Governments are concerned of the obesity level in the population.
• Legal- It includes the acts like Prevention of Food and Adulteration (1954); Standard
Weights and Measurement Act (1956); MRTP (1969) etc.
Factors like Consumer protection, State regulatory agencies, and Non-government regulatory
agencies also influence the company.
I have been assigned both target as well as tasks. Target given to me from college as well as
company is in monetary terms. As far as task is concerned, it has been given to me by my
company guide to do certain activities during my internship period.
Target- From the company I have been given the target to generate sales of Rs. 1 Lac every
month during my 3 months of internship period. That monthly target is divided into weekly
target of Rs. 25,000 per week by my faculty guide.
Tasks- Some tasks have been assigned to me from my company guide were
• Systematic working.
Update: Weekly target is increased to Rs. 50,000 and accordingly monthly target is also
increased to Rs. 2 Lac. I have also been assigned a new task to achieve weekly target by
promoting the sales of Marie Time, Marie and Cakes.
Overall there was a target to sell products of Rs. 6 Lac within 3 months of my internship
program.
STRATEGY ADOPTED
Strategies are essential for achieving a given target/tasks. The major strategies used by me are as
follows:
• Price discount- Here products are offered to the customers at a discount on the normal
selling price. Distributors in Rourkela market gives 3% discount on the normal selling
price of the product.
• Installment offers- Here products are offered at down payment and customers are
allowed to pay the remaining amount on an installment basis.
• Consumer contest- Time- to- time customers are made aware about utilizing the retailer
scheme option.
• Free gifts/samples- Here customers are provided with free gifts like pocket diary, key
ring etc in order to motivate them to place order.
• Market Research- It was done in the form of surveys, observation of the competitor’s
strategies etc.
• Concept and Idea generation- It was done by giving new ideas to both the customers as
well as to the distributors.
• Motivational factor- It was used by spending, favoring their opinion, etc.
• Communication- It was used through activities like follow up, advertising, public
relation personal selling, feedback etc.
Week wise:
Month wise:
Overall:
• Low market coverage area by distributors- As the condition is worst the distributors
are covering fewer shops which ultimately affect the demand of the product and also the
sales.
• Lack of time management-This happens in the way of the dispatch of the vehicle from
the warehouse.
• “No “means “no”- Once a shop owners tell they won`t keep the product it find difficult
to convince them.
• Seasonal demand problem-As I was doing my work in summer I also came to know
that biscuit industry is also affected by seasonal demand. During summer the demand is
low as compared to winter.
• Change in taste and preference pattern- As there is a change in taste and preference in
the customers so their opinion also shifts to another company form time to time as a
result sales decreases for certain products.
• Lack of responsibility- I also notice that nobody take responsibility. For e.g, if a shop is
not visited for 2 weeks then they continue to do the same activity as a result I have to face
complains form the shop owners and also almost we have lost one of our existing
customers.
• Similar type plus new products of other companies- Most of the company produces
similar product so there are similar products under different brand names. For e.g,
Anmol`s coconutty is facing competition from Mukund`s coco bite.
• Lack of media approach- This happens in the form of Advertisement, banners etc.
• No credit system from distributors - As the distributor don`t extend the credit period so
some shop owners take this personally.
• Strange trend of the customers- I also noticed that as this is the last month of the
retailer`s scheme then also some shop owners are not placing heavy orders and at the end
they go for flattery in the form of asking for some help form the company representative.
LEARNING IN THE EXECUTIVE TRAINING
Achieving target is difficult but not impossible. Generally doing direct marketing is a difficult
task but this is the only field where one person can learn so many things like customer behavior,
attitude, responses, understanding his needs and want.
Working with different situation it’s enhancing our skills, knowledge, and physical with mental
ability to work with stressful situation and challenging environment. Target makes us more
carrier focused, responsible and to work with work pressure. It is a result oriented function so it
create a awareness to finish that target within the assigned time, it has a great impact on the
students to became a professional
To fulfill the target task is the most important component, implemented, and administrated
benefit programs leads to achieving target. Do the task properly is improving our managerial
skills, interpersonal skill. The main aim of target and task is to know how in future we will
manage our subordinate.
Overall it’s preparing us to achieve our future goals it is providing us a platform to stand, to sell
our knowledge, and to compete with the coming market.
CONCLUSION
It is a good opportunity given to me through INC system to utilize my three month time toward a
prospering company like Anmol Biscuits Limited. Within my first month of Summer Internship
Program (S.I.P) I came across to different types of persons in the form of distributors,
salespersons, retailers, wholesalers and also to consumers. Some strange trend was also noticed
by me. Many obstacles were faced by me during this period which made me stronger to achieve
my target giving a boost to my creativity. Observation and also taking suggestions from my
friends were also helpful to me up to certain extent. Time to time gong for surveys and other
activities I was able to develop my own strategies Failures will be there but how to overcome
those failures and turn them into your success in the true managerial skill which I am learning.
The strategies use in this month may not work in next month. There will be addition and
subtraction of strategies. The only thing that matters is the achievement of target/task.
As far as target/tasks are concerned it will become tougher week by week opening doors to a
whole new world making me capable to manage any situation without fear. Surely will develop
managerial skills.
