INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC

The topic “To study about Strategy and Market Share of Amul chocolates“ highlights on the

market share of Amul Chocolates Pune city in comparison to existing player in the Milk

chocolate Market.

The market share can be found with the help of retailers. As the competitors are concerned there

are only two of them i.e. Cadbury and Nestle

The study is also concerned to find out the various reasons due to which the retailers do not

prefer to sell Amul Chocolates.Moreover the study also helps in knowing the best medium for

creating the awareness about the Amul Chocolates.

To know the Market share and problems faced by retailers is very important for every

organization for their promotion, expansion and development.

COMPANY PROFILE

1. Formed in 1946, Amul has initiated the Dairy Cooperative movement in India and formed an

Apex Cooperative Organization, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd.

(GCMMF), jointly owned by some 2.1 million milk producers in Gujarat, India. Its products,

including milk powders, liquid milk, butter, ghee, cheese, chocolate, ice cream and pizza

are widely used throughout India and abroad and have made Amul the largest food brand in

India today with an annual turnover of some Rs.29 Billion ($US 616 million) per annum.

2. The primary goal of Dr. V. Kurien, Chairman, GCMMF, has been to build a strong Indian

society economically through an innovative cooperative network, to provide quality service and

products to end- consumers and good returns to the farmer members. Dr. Kurien states, “We

have traversed a path that few have dared to. We are continuing on a path that still fewer have

the courage to follow. We must pursue a path that even fewer can dream to pursue. Yet, we

must. We hold on trust the aims and aspirations o millions of our countrymen”.

3. Information Technology has played a significant role in developing the Amul brand. The

logistics behind co-ordinating the collection of some 6 million litres of milk per day from

10,755 separate Village Cooperative Societies throughout Gujarat and then storing, processing

and producing milk products at the respective 12 District Dairy Unions, are awesome. The

installation of 3000 Automatic Milk Collection System Units (AMCUS) at Village Societies to

capture member information, milk fat content, volume collected and amount payable to each

member has proved invaluable in ensuring fairness and transparency throughout the whole

Amul organization.

4. In 1996 Amul was one of the first major organizations in India to have a website and this has

been used both to develop an intranet of Amul distributors as well as a cyber-store for

consumers, one of the first examples of e-commerce activity in India.

AMUL AND CO-OPERATION

The CEO, Mr. B M Vyas, said that. “Amul is not a food company; it is an IT company in the

food business”. In saying this he was recognizing that the most efficient way of building links

between milk producers and consumers so as to provide the best returns for the both is through

IT innovation.

Thus is why Amul has embraced the ideas behind coop with such enthusiasm. Not only will the

TLD enable consumers in India to recognize an established brand they can trust online, it will

enable Amul to begin trading competitively throughout the world, reaching markets, which have

hitherto been inaccessible.

The CIO, Mr. SubbaraoHegde said, “Information Technology is the most effective tool we have

in communicating with our members and the millions of consumers who purchase Amul

products throughout India every day. Coop not only reflects the cooperative values which shape

our own organization democratically dynamic, it will also give us a vital business advantage as

we seek to develop the Amul brand throughout the world.”

AMUL means “priceless” in Sanskrit. The brand name “Amul,” from the Sanskrit “Amoolya,”

was suggested by a quality control expert in Anand. Variants, all meaning “priceless,” are found

in several Indian languages. Amul products have been in use in millions of home since 1946.

Amul Butter, Amul Milk Powder, Amul Ghee, Amulspray, Amul Cheese, Amul Chocolates,

AmulShrikhand, Amul Ice cream, Nutramaul, Amul Milk and Amulya have made Amul a

leading food brand in India. (Turnover: Rs. 29 billion in 2004). Today Amul is a symbol of many

things. Of high-quality products sold at reasonable prices.

PRICING:-

Second P of marketing is not another name for blindly lowering prices and relying on this

strategy alone to increase sales dramatically. The strategy used by Cadbury’s is for matching the

value that customer pays to buy the product with the expectation they have about what the

production is worth to them.

AMUL has launched various products which cater to all customer segments. So every

customer segment has different price expectation from the product. Therefore

maximizing the returns involves identifying right price level for each segment, and then

progressively moving through them.

In milk chocolate Amul has the following brands:

All the chocolates are made up of:

Physical Distribution – “Place”

In a product and price parity situation, the brand that sells more is the one that reaches the

highest number of customers. India – 1 billion people, 155 million household has over 4 million

retail outlets in 5351 urban markets and 552725 villages, spread cross 3.28 million sq.

Promotion

If an advertisement is to communicate effectively, the receiver must at least half want it to, and

be prepared too take step toward the sender. Effective advertising is rarely hectoring or loudly

explicit…. It often both attracts and generates arm feelings. More often than not, a successful

campaign has a stronger element of the unexpected a quality that good advertising shares with

much worthwhile literature.

To penetrate into the inner recesses of her memory, communication must first ensure exposure,

grab her attention evoke her comprehension, grab her acceptance and then extract retention

competing with thousands of other units of communication trying to do the same.

As we know thatAmul is very big organization and market leader in dairy products. It has

maximum market share in Milk, Butter and Cheese, which are its main/core products. As we know

Amul is a co-operative organization but chocolate industry is a profitable industry we can’t ignore

it. With the help of research, company can find out its week points in chocolate product and can

increase its market share through rectify mistakes. People have believed inAmul’s product and

they will accept its chocolates also if effective actions were taken.The survey resulted into

following conclusions :

Amul must come up with new promotional activities suchthat people become aware

about Amul Chocolates like Chocozoo, Bindaaz, and Fundoo.

Quality is the dominating aspect which influences consumerto purchase Amul product,

but prompt availability of other chocolate brands and aggressive promotional activities by

others influences the consumer towards them and also leads to increase sales.

In comparison to Amul Chocolate, the other players such asCadbury, Nestle, areprovide a

better availability and give competition to the hilt.

People are mostlysatisfied with the overall quality of AmulChocolate, but for the

existence in the local market Amulmust use aggressive selling techniques.
