COMPANY

PROFILE

Page 11: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

3. Industry and Sector Profile:

History:

Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) was established in

1945 as Mahindra & Mohammed. Later on, after the

partition of India, one of the partners - Ghulam

Mohammad - returned to Pakistan, where he became

Finance Minister. As a result, the company was

renamed to Mahindra & Mahindra in 1948.

M&M started its operation as a manufacturer of

general-purpose utility vehicles. It assembled CKD

jeeps in 1949. Over the passing years, the company

expanded its business and started manufacturing light

commercial vehicles (LCVs) and agricultural tractors.

Apart from agricultural tractors and LCVs, Mahindra & Mahindra also showed its

dexterity in manufacturing army vehicles. Soon, it started its operations abroad, through

its plants set up in China, the United Kingdom and the USA.

M&M partnered with companies prominent in the international market, including Renault

SA, International Truck and Engine Corporation, USA, in order to mark its global

presence. M&M also started exporting its products to several countries across the world.

Subsequently, it set up its branches including Mahindra Europe Srl (based in Italy),

Mahindra USA Inc., Mahindra South Africa and Mahindra (China) Tractor Co. Ltd.

At the same time, M&M managed to be the largest manufacturer of tractors in India, by

holding leadership in the market of the country, for around 25 years. The company is an

old hand in designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing tractors as well as farm

implements.

11

Page 12: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

It made its entry to the passenger car segment in India, with the manufacture of Logan

(mid-size sedan) in April 2007, under the Mahindra Renault collaboration. Soon after the

considerable success of Logan, M&M started launching a wide range of LCVs and three

wheelers as well as SUVs including Scorpio and Bolero. In the present time, Bolero has

gained immense popularity in India. It is one of the most opted vehicles in its class.

Few groups can identify as closely with India's destiny and industrial progress as the

Mahindra Group. In fact, Mahindra is like a microcosm of India. Both were born around

the same time, had the same aspirations and both experienced the inevitable troughs and

crests in the journey towards their goals. And both continue to march on the path to

progress and global recognition Swift action followed this thought. The Mahindra

brothers joined hands with a distinguished gentleman called Ghulam Mohammed & on

October 2nd, 1945, Mahindra & Mohammed was set up as a franchise for assembling

Jeeps from Willys, USA

Two years later, India became an independent nation and Mahindra & Mohammed

changed its name to Mahindra & Mahindra. Ghulam Mohammed migrated to Pakistan

post-partition and became the first Finance Minister of Pakistan.

Since then, Mahindra & Mahindra has grown steadily in size and stature and evolved into

a Group that occupies a premier position in almost all key sectors of the economy. The

Group's history is studded with milestones. Each one taking the Group forward. In fact,

today, its total turnover is about 6.3 billion dollars.

CHAPTER 5

SURVEY

REVIEW

19

Page 20: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

5. LITERATURE SURVEY/ REVIEW:

The tractor industry in India is divided in various segment based on the tractor power (in

HP); the segments are <20 HP, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50 and >51 HP. The Indian tractor

industry is primarily a medium HP market with 31-40 HP segments accounting for 42.3%

of the volumes during 9M 2010-11. In terms of overall volumes, India is one of the

largest tractor markets in the world, besides China and the USA. The prospects of the

domestic industry are highly linked to monsoon rains, which remain a key factor in

determining agricultural production.

These small tractors have a potential to replace bullock carts in the field and the demand

potential remains high with around 39% of the area under cultivation owned by

marginal/small farmers; this segment, however, is expected to face competition from the

second hand market of higher HP tractors.

Tractor industry is dominated by Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) with a market share of

around 39.8% during 9M 2010-11 till now in higher hp tractors but for the first time

Mahindra and Mahindra launched 15 hp Tractor in the market especially in Vidharbha

region to increase market share and fulfill the customer’s need of every category.

20

Page 21: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

Research study has seen a gradual need for small hp tractor in Vidharbha and it has

launched for the first time in Amravati with some following factors

1. Yuvraj 215 is specially made for Orchard application, as Amravati region

gives high yield in Oranges.

2. As compare to other region in Vidharbha Amravati District has good

quality of soil.

3. With capability of 15 hp Yuvraj 215 gives good result in irrigation land.

CHAPTER 6

RESEARCH

PROBLEM

22

Page 23: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

6. STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM

Yuvraj 215 was firstly launched at Amravati in Vidharbha region, very few people where

knowing about the product its features, implements, working capacity and how useful it

would be for them in their field and to get more yield and in other work also. As today’s

most of the farmers are having financial availability but because of less knowledge he is

unable to avail the modern mechanization at his field work. He is not even in condition to

reach its Break Even Point and tends to do suicide.

After research analysis Mahindra Tractor has come up multi utility Tractor in the market

to fulfill farmers dreams. Different Marketing strategies were used to pitch Yuvraj 215 in

the market and get the desired sales for a new product at its Introduction stage in

Vidharbha region. It is expecting to see rise in the sell with the coming monsoon.

Mahindra Rise launched Yuvraj 215 not just increase its market share, but Mahindra

came up to help Farmers in their field work because in today’s date farmers are not

getting labors to get the work done in time. Yuvraj 215 a 15 hp tractor will help Farmers

to get income with less investment.

CHAPTER 7

RESEARCH

METHODOLOGY

25

Page 26: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

7. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A research process consists of stages or steps that guide the project from its conception

through the final analysis, recommendations and ultimate actions. The research process

provides a systematic, planned approach to the research project and ensures that all

aspects of the research project are consistent with each other. Research studies evolve

through a series of steps, each representing the answer to a key question.

INTRODUCTION

This chapter aims to understand the research methodology establishing a framework of

evaluation and revaluation of primary and secondary research. The techniques and

concepts used during primary research in order to arrive at findings; which are also dealt

with and lead to a logical deduction towards the analysis and results.

26

Page 27: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

RESEARCH DESIGN

We propose to first conduct a intensive secondary research to understand the full impact

and implication of the industry, to review and critique the industry norms and reports, on

which certain issues shall be selected, which I feel remain unanswered or liable to

change, this shall be further taken up in the next stage of exploratory research. This stage

shall help me to restrict and select only the important question and issue, which inhabit

growth and segmentation in the industry.

The various tasks that have been undertaken in the research design process are :

Defining the information need

Design the exploratory, descriptive and causal research

RESEARCH PROCESS

The research process has four distinct yet interrelated steps for research analysis

It has a logical and hierarchical ordering:

Determination of information research problem.

Development of appropriate research design.

Execution of research design.

Communication of results.

Each step is viewed as a separate process that includes a combination of task , step and

specific procedure. The steps undertake are logical, objective, systematic, reliable, valid,

impersonal and ongoing.

27

Page 28: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH

The method used for exploratory research was

1. Primary Data

2. Secondary Data

PRIMARY DATA

New data gathered to help solve the problem at hand. As compared to secondary data

which is previously gathered data. An example is information gathered by a

questionnaire. Qualitative or Quantitative data that are newly collected in the course of

research, Consists of original information that comes from people and includes

information gathered from surveys, focus groups, independent observations and test

results. Data gathered by the researcher in the act of

conducting research. This is contrasted to secondary data, which entails the use of data

gathered by someone other than the researcher information that is obtained directly from

first-hand sources by means of surveys, observation or experimentation.

Primary data is basically collected by getting questionnaire filled by the

respondents.

SECONDARY DATA

Information that already exists somewhere, having been collected for another purpose.

Sources include Dealership & Sales Persons. There are two types of secondary data:

internal and external secondary data. Information compiled inside or outside the

organization for some purpose other than the current investigation Researching

information, which has already been published? Market information compiled for

28

Page 29: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

purposes other than the current research effort; it can be internal data, such as existing

sales-tracking information, or it can be research conducted by someone else, such as a

market research company.

Secondary source of data used consists of books and websites

My proposal is to first conduct a intensive secondary research to understand the full

impact and implication of the industry, to review and critique the industry norms and

reports, on which certain issues shall be selected, which I feel remain unanswered or

liable to change, this shall be further taken up in the next stage of exploratory research.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

STEPS in the descriptive research:

.-Statement of the problem

1. Identification of information needed to solve the problem

2. Selection or development of instruments for gathering the information

3. Identification of target population and determination of sampling Plan.

4. Design of procedure for information collection

5. Collection of information

6. Analysis of information

7. Generalizations and/or predictions

DATA COLLECTION

Data collection took place with the help of filling of questionnaires. The questionnaire

method has come to the more widely used and economical means of data collection. The

common factor in all varieties of the questionnaire method is this reliance on verbal

responses to questions, written or oral. It was essential to make sure the questionnaire

was easy to read and understand to all spectrums of people in the sample. It was also

important as researcher to Respect the samples time and energy hence the questionnaire

29

Page 30: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

was designed in such a way, that its administration would not exceed 4-5 mins. These

questionnaires were personally administered.

The first hand information was collected by making the people fill the questionnaires.

The primary data collected by directly interacting with the people. The respondents were

contacted at Talukas comes under Amravati. The data was collected by interacting with

96 respondents who filled the questionnaires and gave me the required necessary

information. The respondents consisted of Farmers, Business persons etc. the required

information was collected by directly interacting with these respondents.

DETERMINATION THE SAMPLE PLAN AND SAMPLE SIZETARGET POPULATION

It is a description of the characteristics of that group of people from whom a course is

intended. It attempts to describe them as they are rather than as the describer would like

them to be. Also called the audience the audience to be served by our project includes

Customer from October 2010 to 21st may 2011.The specific population intended as

beneficiaries of a program. This will be either all or a subset of potential users of Tractor.

A population to be reached through interaction & through Telecalling. The group of

people you are trying to reach with a particular strategy or activity. The target population

is the population I want to make conclude an ideal situation; the sampling frames to

matches the target population. A specific resource set that is the object or target of

Investigation.

30

Page 31: Project Report on Yuvraj 215 (by Manish Shirbhaye MBA Nasik) 2011-2012

SAMPLE SIZE:

This involves figuring out how many samples one need.

The numbers of samples you need are affected by the following factors:

1. Project goals

2. How you plan to analyze your data

3. How variable your data are or are likely to be

4. How precisely you want to measure change or trend

5. The number of years over which you want to detect a trend

6. How many times a year you will sample each point

7. How much money and manpower you have

SAMPLE SIZE :

We have targeted 95 Customers in the Talukas comes under Amravati. The target

population influences the sample size. Out of 95 customers 50 will be covered by

Personal interaction & remaining 45 will be contacted through Telephone. The target

population represents the Amravati regions. .The people were from different professional

backgrounds. The details of our sample are explained in chapter named primary research

where the divisions are explained in demographics section.
