INTRODUCTION

6
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 includes, 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 us, 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.

summer field, spinneys, carrefour. the fact that today haldiram exports 60 MN dollars
goods and has registered 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.

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

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. Nonresident 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
tones of namkeens (56 varieties), 20 tones of chips, papad (7 varieties) and fun food and 5
tones 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

10
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, Spinneys, and
Carrefour. From traditional Indian sweets and savories 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.

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 skillfully
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.

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

 INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Porter’s Five Forces Analysis

1. Threat of new entrant:

• As the branded players price similarly new players might penetrate by

adopting low price strategy or offering more grams at the same price.
• Unorganized players are more dominating in this sector.

2. Suppliers bargaining power:

• Suppliers provide raw materials such as gram flour, dry fruits, spices and
other ingredients. Their ability to raise input costs is high.
• Higher cost of input commodities leads to lower margins, making the
market unattractive for distributors and retailers.
• Shortage of any input material may also affect production and thereby
impact distribution

3. Threat of substitute:

• All snacks are considered to be substitutes of each other Biscuits, Wafers

and local snacks like Chakli, banana chips, farsanetc are all substitutes of
one another.
• Indian market is more shifting towards western style for eg. Instead of
Chola Bhatura people love to have sandwiches and pizza.

4. Customer’s bargaining power:

o Ability to substitute is high as brands are priced similarly and distribution

problems for one brand promote sales for the other.
o Price Sensitive, taste conscious consumers are high. An increase in the price
of product may promote a switch to Haldiram.
o Quality and taste conscious consumers who buy brands

22
 o High demand during festival season and low during monsoon v. Rivalry
among existing competitors:
o High Competition – Branded Players involved in cutthroat competition to
increase market share, entice new consumers, find new market.
o Quality difference between branded and unbranded offerings is offset by
low price offered by unbranded players
o Brand Loyalty is high for branded players

that is assigned to you for some reason : - What the subject or papers that is being taught
in classroom at M.B.A program is completely theoretical so during the summer training
you can compare and learn how the marketing activity in an organization varies with theory
and how this theoretical knowledge is being applied in an organization and how much they

LITERATURE REVIEW
a. The future of India Snacks Market can be judged from the fact that this
industry is expected to grow with double digit CAGR for the time frame of
2018 to 2024. India snacks market is dived between organized players and
unorganized market. At present Unorganized market is dominating the
India snacks market. But this scenario is expected to change during the
forecast period of 2018-2024. India Snacks Market is growing due to
following factors Lifestyle Changes, Rising Urbanization, Growing Middle
Class Population, Local Availability and Availability of Snacks in Small
Package Size, Low Price and Company's Strategies to focus on regional
taste. (29-1- 2018, Laura Wood, Senior Manager)

b. Satisfaction is a result of a product related experience and this question

reflects the overall opinion of a consumers experience with the product
performance. Satisfaction and attitude are closely related concepts. The
psychological concepts of attitude and satisfaction may both be defined as
the evaluation of an object and the individual relationship to it. Anything
that can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or
consumption that might satisfy a want or need, include physical objects,
persons, organizations, and ideas is called as product. Services mean the
work done by one person which is helpful to another person and these are
intangible in nature. It is an act of help and assistance.
(Sahaya Alexander)

c. Haldirams does not have an effective visual merchandising strategy but is

still able to procure higher sales due to a focused product line, resulting in
timely stock replenishment. While Frito Lay's merchandising tools were
found to be most effective in increasing the visibility of its products and
brand due to increased deployment of these tools in different shapes and
sizes at almost all retail outlets, its merchandising strategy could not beat
the festival season sales of Haldirams. This is due to the fact Factors
Affecting the Retailer Perception for the Sale of Snacking Products through
Traditional Trade Retail Outlets in India 29 NJMSR V.1 No.1 Issue 1
(2016) that Haldirams brand, as a close competitor of Frito Lay, also
provided better retailer schemes to push sales during the festival season
further. ITC and Parle lag far behind in merchandising tool deployment and
also in offering competitive retailer schemes. (Ganga Katiyar,2016)

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.

CONCLUSION & LIMITATIONS

51
Conclusion

• This makes it necessary for organizations to implement the act effectively and bring
in robust redressed processes at the earliest

• Work/life programs have the potential to significantly improve employee morale,

reduce absenteeism, and retain organizational knowledge, particularly during
difficult economic times.

• In today ‘s global marketplace, as companies aim to reduce costs, it falls to the

human resource professional to understand the critical issues of work/life balance
and champion work /life programs.

• Classify the working women based on age (25-35, 35-45 and above) the
organization concentrate on 25-35 age group because in that age women‘s have
more responsibilities in home as well as in working place.

• Work life balance programmers create win – win situation for employees as well as
employer.

• To conclude a very significant study that develops an idea that respondents realize
the significance of a woman’s role

• To conclude a very significant study that develops an idea that respondents realize
the significance of a woman’s role

• The overall conclusion of this research paper is Haldiram’s is a famous brand in

Indian snacks industry, holding most of the market shares. The brand is well known
and consumed for its quality. Price does play a significant role in buying behavior
but is less important compared of other factors such as – quality, taste, and
packaging.

52
 Limitations

• 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.

53
SUGGESTIONS

After completing the research work I came up with the following suggestions that the brand
could try to work on for better future growth and capturing more market shares and for
staying the market leader for a little longer –

• Brand should try to tap market of health-conscious people by experimenting with

more kind of baked snacks.

• More products should be launched to tap kid segment apart from Halke-Phulke

• 2019, Haldiram’s surpassed PepsiCo and captured highest market share in snacks
industry but COVID 19 has impacted sales for various reasons.

• Brand should work on retaining their share and gaining back the confidence of their
consumers.

• It can focus more on advertising to boost sales like Bikaji-Bhujia.
