MINI PROJECT
REPORT ON
“APPLICATION OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGY IN AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY”
Submitted To
The SHIAN is certainly a new face lift given to the age old Ghandhian
idea of “Swadeshi”. Through this we intend to fuse the Corporate
Social Responsibility with the core strategy of the company by
keeping in mind the civil society. With the advent of Mr. Sanjeev’s
idea of consumers at the ‘bottom of pyramid’ and eradicating
poverty through profit, we hereby stand in favor of putting the last
first and paving a way for the long forgotten ‘Khadi’ industry.

MARKETING PLAN
MARKET RESEARCH
No matter how good your product and your services, the venture
cannot succeed without effective marketing. And this begins with
careful, systematic research. It is very dangerous to assume that we
already know about our intended market. We need to do market
research to make sure we’re on track.
As this business model is all about the present textile industry (khadi
related), we could make efforts the existing demand and provided
supply. Also the quality of goods present, along with the detailed
analysis of the interests of the CSR and Microfinance.
MARKET RESEARCH
There are two kinds of market research: primary and secondary.
A present scenario secondary research is carried out through the
published information such as industry profiles, trade journals,
newspaper, magazines, census data, and demographic profiles. This
type of information is available in public libraries, industry
associations, chambers of commerce from the present microfinance
industry, and from government agencies. E.g. KVIC portals,
microfinance.com, ethical performanance.com, documentaries of CK
Prahalad, rural journal like Yojana, Kurukshetra, Karmayog.
Primary research means gathering our own data. For example, we
could do our own traffic count at a proposed location, use the yellow
pages to identify competitors, and do surveys or focus group
interviews to learn about consumer preferences. Professionals’ market
research can be very costly, but there are many books that show small
business owners how to do effective research themselves.
The surveys can be carried out on different stakeholders like the
Khadi Bhandars, Microfinance institute (present), customer surveys,
CSR team (management), fashion designers and the artisans.
ECONOMICS
The capital investment in this venture would be basically with the
infrastructure for building the office, along with the changes for legal
entity. The initial funding for meeting these can be through
procurement of loans from the banks (as appropriate). The personal
system can be used for the initial computing work.
The exclusive database of the customers would be maintained along
with the web blog provisions for different marketing ideas,
advertisement through low costs media (print and visuals), radio
propaganda, CSR advocacy, Government’s promotions of new Khadi
etc.
Selling counters, the very visibility will always be there.
PROMOTIONAL BUDGET
The budget will be covered as per the textile industry’s strategies and
not much needed to the allotted separately.
Before startup- About 1% more than the usual expenditure on
promotions shall be required.
Ongoing will become negligible and will be required on launch of
new products.
PROPOSED LOCATION
The proposed location initially will be the Tier11 and Tier111 cities
and towns in/ around the textile industry. This can be extended
depending on the demands and feasibility.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
This will be same as that of the textile industry. Future needs can be
catered with new franchise.
MARKETING & SALES
PRODUCTS:
As we are already familier with the khadi clothing, my product is also
about khadi clothing with a touch of modern trend in it, this fabric,
also known as Khaddar, and it is hand woven natural fibre made with
cotton. The other vibrant of khadi fabric include silk and wool. Khadi
fabric originated during the time of Mahatma Gandhi when he led the
Swadeshi Movement. This fabric has a rugged texture and feels
comfortable when worn during winter season while also keeping one
fresh in summer.
If we have the khadi spirit in us, we would surround ourselves with
simplicity in every walk of life. The khadi spirit means infinite
patience. For those who know anything about the production of khadi
know how patiently the spinners and the weavers have to toil at their
trade, even so must we have patience while we are spinning the thread
of Swaraj. But, now with the dynamic advancements, khadi fabric is
now available in multiple variations. With handwork ranging from
kantha to Block print, this fabric captivates beauty with its subtle
weaves. The styles that can be crafted from khadi are not limited to a
Nehru jacket anymore. You can now choose from a wide range of
Shirts, Flared pants and dresses. Modern machinery is taking over the
traditional methods of manual crafting. The fabric now also comes
with innovative cuts and styles. This fabric is quite easy to maintain
as it needs to be hand washed and ironed for a fresh, refined look.
Shian will be dealing with all kinds of khadi clothing from traditional
to modern; from men to women even kids wear as well in all sizes
from S to XXL, and you can design your own clothing design and
color for particular product.
TRADITIONAL CLOTHES:
MODERN CLOTHES:
WOOLEN CLOTHES:
PRICE:
Our pricing strategy will be competitive within the various product
ranges but will not rely on the selling price to overshadow other
advantages of doing business with our company, such as diverse line
of high quality products that are readily available, reasonably priced,
and backed by service excellence and on time delivery. In addition,
we recognize that price flexibility is critical to our success. We are
prepared to offer discount and allowances, sales promotion prices, and
to reduce the price over limited period of time during the slow sales
hours, in order to increase our operating capacity usage, and reduce or
eliminate idle capacity and subsequent losses.
PLACE:
Well in this section I will be telling you about how the product will be
assembled and will be launched in the market, and where the product
will be manufactured, so first let me tell you the location where the
clothes will get manufactured, so I will be taking factory type place in
Lucknow of 4000sq feet, where there will be plenty of space for
artisans, departments and photography room as well. The target for
the artisans for preparing traditional clothes for men and women and
kids will 3000 pieces per day, and for modern clothes there target will
be 1800 clothes pieces per day because modern clothes are little
difficult to prepare because of their styling patterns and cuts. The
working hours for the employees would be 9am to 5pm. The
employees are getting 8 hours to complete the work.
All the clothes are getting prepared will be kept in office for the
photography session on dummy and models so that we can out good
pictures on our webpage. There will be surely be the team of good
photographers who will capture good and detailed picture of clothes.
After the launch the clothes, customers can make their account if they
are visiting the page of the first time. Account details will contain:
I. FIRST NAME:
II. EMAIL ADDRESS:
III. PERMANENT ADDRESS:
IV. CURRENT ADDRESS:
V. PHONE NUMBER:
VI. DATE OF BIRTH, DAY AND YEAR:
VII. GENDER:
VIII. PASSWORD:
IX. CONFIRM PASSWORD:
After this they can place an order online, and next time if they are
shopping again then there is no need for the sign up. They can enter
with their email ID and password. Customers will also have the
advantage of choosing comfortable mode of payment method. They
can use cash on delivery and card as well and will get free delivery on
their first order and discount offers according to festivals and various
occasions and various other offers as well.
After receiving the order, we will start the packaging of the product
and for the delivery purpose we will have a contract with a logistic
company for the timely distribution and delivery of our products at
the door step of our customer within 7 to 10 days.
So this is how company will start operating. Initially there might be
hurdles but as a company and one big family, we will try overcoming
it, we will prepare ourselves in a manner that I could not lead to much
loss and can be handled in a very short span of time.
PROMOTION:
Promotion is the voice of the company which sends out the brand’s
message loud and clear to the audience. It is the key element in
putting across the benefits of products or services to the customers.
Well-designed marketing and promotional strategies ensure long term
success, brings in more customers and ensure profitability for the
organization. Promoting the brand will help us in different ways listed
below:
Increase brand awareness
Provide appropriate information
Increase customer traffic
Build sales and profit.
Not only these promotions will also help the company to introduce
product easily in the ever so competitive market. Therefore, we really
need to analyze perfect channels for the promotion of our brand. This
will include, magazines, and social media (social media influencer
will be the predominant part of this).
PACKAGING:
This aspect is as important as the product itself. Packaging of the
product communicates many things. From what the product can do for
their customers to your company’s values, because it’s a crucial
marketing and communication tool for the business. It is powerful
medium for sales promotion. It must perform all the basic function
such as protection, ease of handling and storage, convenience in usage
etc. and should not be deceptive and convey any deceptive message. It
is the best method for attracting the consumers for buying the
products.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
Khadi clothing startup is a promising business venture that has a lot of
potential in the current market. With the growing demand for
sustainable and eco-friendly products, Khadi clothing can offer a
unique value proposition to customers who are looking for ethically-
made clothing. Khadi clothing has several advantages over traditional
cotton clothing. It is made from hand-spun and handwoven cotton,
which is a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly process
than machine-made cotton. Khadi clothing is also more durable and
comfortable to wear than regular cotton clothing.
To succeed as a Khadi clothing startup, it is important to focus on
creating high-quality products that are both sustainable and stylish. It
is also important to build a strong brand identity that resonates with
customers who value sustainability and ethical production practices.
