Executive Summary
Taaja’s mission is to provide totally organic fresh juices without adding up any preservatives
by locally available raw materials. The first product of our company is Taaja aloe vera juice
and later on various health and skin related products will be introduced like scrubs, varieties
of juices like pudina, lemon, tulsi and seasonal fruits and also hair treatment creams and
moisturizers. The uniqueness of the juice is that no any preservatives or any chemicals will be
added and the suppliers of raw materials will be the people of allocated wards.
Its first production unit will be at Itahari which has been junction for various big and touristic
cities like Biratnagar, Dharan, Dhankuta and Jhapa so that we can easily supply our products
to many places in short time. Also we can collect raw materials as we have easy access to
many agricultural places like Jhapa and Dhankuta. In addition, Taaja is also planning to
expand its production and distribution unit as much as possible. There will be wholesaler as
well as direct distribution too.
Taaja is preferred by all age groups. Mostly, it focuses the people who are more health
conscious and busy working people. As it is new in the business market, it has many
competitors like Pantanjali, Herbal Ashmi. So to be stable in the market, Taaja’s marketing
strategy is by placing attractive mini fountain in front of supermarkets, by promoting the
product through social media and offer on returning our empty bottles which also decrease
the rate of waste productions. This may help us to reach our mission i.e. to have 15% of
market share for the business and to have profit of 10% by the end of the year.
Its initial investment will be on 100% equity and internally generated cash flow will enable
most the expansion plan. This company will result encouraging the housewives in plantation
of various medicinal herbs and fruits. Also this company will result in sales revenues growing
to Rs.1 million by year 2.
The net profit to assets ratio (ROA) is 96% and the net profit to equity ratio (ROE) is 165%.
Here we can state that our ROA and ROE are at safe range. Hence, it is safe for the
investment as Taaja can easily earn profit after it have better market coverage.
As Taaja is 100% fresh natural juice with no harmful preservatives, color and chemical, it
benefit the people who are drinking it by keeping their body hydrated which help in good
functioning of digestive system, constipation and clear skin. Hence, we are very certain that
“TAAJA” can have good market share despite of strong competitor as it have low capital
investment and low HR requirement which makes the business simpler, economical and
decrease its risk level.

1. Introduction
In today’s world, people are being more conscious about their health so keeping this in mind
we are thinking of introducing health, skin and hair related product from locally and easily
available natural resources like aloevera, neem, pudina, tulsi, papaya, sugarcane, lemon,
guava and amala (seasonal fruits like mango, litchi etc.) and name it as “Taaja”.
As our product name is “Taaja”, we are thinking to provide fresh juices, cream, face pack,
and hair treatment cream without adding up neither any preservatives nor any chemicals to
maintain naturality of the product. As milk is supplied every morning likewise we supply it
every morning so that customer gets fresh products. The products can be used for two days if
stored in cold.
The best location for product development we have chosen is “Itahari” as it is junction for
Biratnagar, Jhapa, Dharan and Dhankuta so that we can easily supply our products to many
places in short time. Also we can collect many raw materials as we have easy access to many
agricultural places like Jhapa and Dhankuta. We are thinking to provide our products in
powder form too so that it may last long and they can take it to their own places and have it.
2. Mission Vision
The following are the mission vision of Taaja:
To increase the sales percent by 10% by the end of the year
To have 15% of market share for the business
To have the profit of 10% by the end of the year
To care about the health of the consumers by providing them fresh ingredients
To introduce new and advanced products without any side effects
To involve unemployed housewives and providing jobs for them
To develop and distribute locally available healthy products.

4. SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH WEAKNESS
Location
Uniqueness No branches
No mediator during the collection Lack of capital
of raw materials.
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
Women empowerment Competition
Increasing health consciousness Season variation
4.1 STRENGTH
a) Location: Our factory is located in Itahari which is central place to supply the
product all around densely populated cities i.e. Biratnagar, Jhapa, Dharan and
Dhankuta. Also, these are the areas with high temperature and hot climate. So, we
can have good market for our juice.
b) Uniqueness: We stand out as unique company in Nepal that supplies fresh juice
without any chemicals and preservatives.
4.2 WEAKNESS
a) No branches: As we don’t have any branches recently, there will be problem for us to
supply our product on daily basis during strikes and traffic jams. Also, we have to
spend more cost on transportation due to long distances.
b) Marketing: We can’t afford huge amount of cost for the promotion and marketing of
our product. Hence, we have to depend completely on loans for the marketing cost.
Yet, we aren’t able to find out the effective marketing strategies with low cost
requirement.
3
c) No online order and home delivery services: Recently, our company doesn’t have
online order and home delivery services for customers so, we may lose some
customers who prefer online orders and home delivery services.
4.3 OPPORTUNITIES
4.4 THREATS
a) Competition: There are many fruit juice center and herbal product store in market
that have their business links who regularly buy from them. So it can reduce our
company’s business. Greater competition among sellers in a lower product market
price. If the same product is produced by various producers, then the price would be
lower because buyers know they could get same product somewhere else.
b) Season variation: During winter season the demand of juice is less as compared to
summer season which decreases our company’s profitability. Our raw materials will
be left unused when there is less demand of our products which causes loss.
Despite of our weakness and threats, we can somehow minimize and overcome it through our
strong strength and opportunities.
Although we are a new brand in the market and have strong competitors like Patanjali, Ashmi
Herbal, we can easily get established in the market through our uniqueness. Since, we are
the only one company to provide fresh and preservatives free Aloe Vera Juice we can
certainly attract the health and beauty conscious people. Similarly, our marketing location can
4
reduce the threat of seasonal variation. As we are recently supplying product on terai region
i.e. the places with hot climatic condition, our sales on winter season will slow down on very
less extend and also it can be balanced through our high sales on summer season.

Consumer’s preferences are shifting to healthy and organic products.
People have become more educated so they are taking the healthy route.
The young generation is also shifted from coke to fresh and healthy drinks.
As the income of middle class increases, new consumers are more conscious about
health.
The number of people using the organic products has increased because of awareness
of using them.

Following the proper protection and laws can improve the standard and the image of

6.3 Bargaining power of supplier
As a new company, the buyers of “Taaja” products are the housewives, who take care of the
plants/herbs, and their families, patient suffering from diabetics, blood pressure, skin
diseases, gastritis, etc. and the people who care about their skin and body appearance such as
models, actors/actress and also teenagers.
As the buyers are from different field and age group, they can’t afford same prices, so the
prices are determining in such a way that all the customer can afford and use it. And also
buyers are well informed about the material used and about the preservatives not been used.
The threats of new entrant for Taaja are high. This business requires less capital investment
and manpower. Also, the product manufacturing technology is simple as the machineries
involved are easy to operate and production process is simple that doesn’t require highly
skilled and expert manpower. Furthermore, recent attraction of people towards fresh and
organic products and its growing market can encourage people to enter as our competitors.
But, as we are the first company to provide fresh organic juices and scrubs, people can have
more trust on our product which could decrease the effect of having new entrants to some
extent.
The possibility of having substitute is medium. The existence of products outside of the realm
of the common product boundaries increases the number of customers that switch to
alternatives. There are various juice shops in market. If those substitute lower their prices in
market than our company Taaja will have to lower the prices of our products in market which
eventually limits our benefits. If the prices of alternative products are more attractive than our
customer number will be decreased. These create lots of pressure and competition in market.
If another industry offers similar benefits to customers as our products, then our company’s
profitability will be at risk. Therefore, our company Taaja is trying to inspire brand loyalty
through its marketing efforts, product quality, and support services to reduce this threat.
10
Threat of substitute product Medium
Rivalry among competitors Medium
Thus from Porter’s five forces model, we can analyze that the threat of new entrants is high
of our company as our business requires less capital investment and manpower and product
manufacturing technology. So there are fewer barriers for entry of new entrants and recent
attraction of people towards fresh and organic products invites more entrants. Hence this can
be reduced if we do good marketing of our products which will attract customers to buy our
products as it is free from harmful chemicals and preservatives. Similarly threat of substitute
product also can be reduced if people can differentiate how healthy our product is. Then they
will not switch to other products.
7. Product Description
The very first product of Taaja is fresh juice which is 100% natural and preservatives and
chemicals free. Taaja Aloe Vera Care Juice is prepared by directly grinding the freshly

up with certain amount of water and then packed in the packaging boxes.
