INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
Present soft drink boon in India was attributed to the legacy of Coca Cola, which was there
in INDIA till 1977. In today’s market the Coca-Cola (Coke, Thumps Up, Sprite, Limca,
Fanta, Maza & etc) hold a 65% market share that appears to bear concentrated rush to beg
a big share in the soft drink market.
Various national & multinational firms are engaged in soft drink market due to increase in
its demand day by day. As far as INDIA soft drink market is concerned there are major
company’s engaged having a big completion to capture the soft drink market are namely
Coca-Cola & Pepsi. While Campa Cola & many local cola’s still notice in the Indian
Market.
Pepsi Cola attacked Coca-Cola before World War II. Coca Cola dominated the American
soft drink industry, Pepsi cola was a drink less to manufactures & with a less satisfactory
taste then Coke. Where as Coca-Cola major selling point was more drink for the same
price and Pepsi emphasized on advertising.
(8)
During Second World War Pepsi & Coke both enjoyed increased sale. After the war Pepsi
sale was started to fall relatively to Coke, resulting the Coca-Cola had starting to click the
Market share. A number of factory contributed to Pepsi problem were poor image, poor
taskforce, poor quality control etc.
At that point Alfred.N.Steeler came to the presidency of Pepsi cola with a great reputation
for merchandising. He and his staff recognized that the main hope lay transforming Pepsi
From a cheap imitator of Coke into a class on soft drink manufacturer.
By 1955 all Pepsi’s major weakness had been overcome, resulting sales had climbed
substantially. These actions from 1955 to 1960 led to a considerable sales growth for Pepsi.
In India another company engaged in soft drink market is Coca-Cola. It is one of the most
widely known, accepted and admired trademarks of the world. Coca-Cola was their in
India till 1977, when the Indian Government banned it due to strong resentment against
multinational company’s Coca-Cola was re-launched again in India in September 1993 at
“HATHRAS” near Agra. The India people welcomed the come back of their most loved
Cola in the country with great enthusiasm and vigor.
(9)
Coca-Cola marked its re-launching with acquiring five Parley drinks viz. Thumps Up,
Gold Spot, Limca, Citra, Maaza, Soda.
Soft drink industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. The basic idea
behind the rapid growth of this industry is due to following reasons:
1. The great corporate war between Coke & Pepsi, who left no stone unturned, for
monopolizing the India Soft Drink market.
2. The basic ideology of these two giants is to promote soft drinks as a food item in
India hold.
3. The long hot summers in India have increased the consumption of soft drinks.

HISTORY

Jon Styth Pemberton first introduced the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola in Atlanta,
Georgia it was May 1861 when the pharmacist concocted a caramel colored syrup in three–
legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first distributed the new product by carrying Coca-
Cola in a jug cown enjoys in a glass of Coca-Cola at the soda fountain. Whether by design
or accident, carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup, producing a drink that was
proclaimed “Delicious and Refreshing”.
Dr. Pemberton’s Partner and bookkeeper, Mr. Frank Robinson, suggested the name
and penned as “Coca-Cola” in the unique flowing script that is still famous worldwide
today.
Dr. Pemberton’s sold 25 gallons of syrup, shipped in bright Red wooden kegs. Red
has been a distinctive color associated with the No.1 soft drink brand ever since. For his
efforts,
Dr. Pemberton grossed $ 50 and spent $ 73.96 on advertising, by 1891, Atlanta
chemist as a G.Canler had acquired complete ownership of the Coca-Cola business.
He purchases it from the
Dr.Pemberton family for $ 2300. With in 4 year his merchandising flair helped to
expand the consumption of Coca-Cola to over $25 million.

Coca-Cola an institution the world over. Coca-Cola begins as a never tonic, but candy
merchant Joseph A. Biedenharn of Mississippi was looking for awry to serve refreshing

conflicting information available about health and nutrition, it can be very
difficult to determine what is accurate and what is not.

healthy diet incorporates the basic principles of variety, balance and moderation
without sacrificing enjoyment.

health

(26)
Coca Cola’s Globalization Strategies
The Coca Cola Company is global player and approximately 70 percent of its volume
and80 percent of its profit come from outside the United State Of America. Although it
was perceived as a standardized brand across the world, Coca Cola had been quietly fine
turning its international marketing strategies to suit the needs of individual national
markets. Only the brands Coca-Cola, Sprite and Fanta were marketed globally.
In Latin American and Europe, where a heavy consumer preferred existed for lemon lime
and orange sodas. Coke had developed a wide range of formulations and flavors to cater
the needs of different countries. In Indonesia Coke had been selling pineapple and banana
flavored sodas which had been carefully developed to suit local preferences.
In Japan, Coca-Cola had added a coffee drink called Georgia and energy healthy drink
named Aquarius to its product line.
In India, the Coca-Cola Company acquired the brands Limca, Maaza and Thums Up in
1993.
(27)
MARKETING MIX & STRATEGY:
Marketing mix of any organization consists of 4 P’s i.e. Product, price, place and
promotion having its own significance, that varies from one organization to the other. in
coca – cola the information about all the 4 P`s that can be available to me is given here:
PRODUCT: Product mix of coca-cola consists of the various brand packs and flavor
given in the table. Product strategy of the coca-cola is to promote all brands available in
the brand packs and to introduce the product in new flavor is also introduced.
PRICE: Regarding the pricing policy or the price to the distributor is not disclosed to me,
but as done for the different product of the company, company has priced the product same
as that of its major competitor or the market leader.
PLACE: the coca-cola company in India is governed from its corporate office located at
Gurgaon in Haryana . It governs the working of five zones covering whole India these
zones are –north zone , eastern zone , western – zone , southern zone and Andhra Pradesh
zone . These zones are divided in to various. Plant, which govern the area assigned to
them. The area is the various distribution centers called distributors and C&F agents. Then
come the retailers / customer for the company’s product,
(28)
They receive well from distributor and c&f agent. Finally consumer is there, having the
product from the consumer’s shops or delivered to their home, it is more clearly visible
through this chart. The coca-cola company, which gave its reach to the mouth of billion of
people all around the world having a wide distribution, network. In India, the pace and
Speed at which coca-cola has widened its business is really amazing. Distribution network
is the biggest strength of the company.
PROMOTION: this past of the marketing is playing a very vital and important role in
the current situation in India . Looking at the competition and promotion and advertising
budget of both the companies coca-cola and Pepsi, one can easily estimate the importance
of this. The promotion mix of coca-cola is divided in to top line promotion and below the
line promotion.
Top line promotion includes the promotion designed and done by the company’s
corporate office of Gorgon and the office of Bombay T.V ads , design of banner , and
other p-s done by the company simultaneously all around India with no difference in
designs etc fall in this category . Below the line promotion includes the promotion
schemes, publicity material, POS display done by the company from zonal, plant, sale
manager and area sales manager level. At the sales manager and area sales manager level

SOFT DRINK MARKET INDIA SCENARIO
(34)
India soft drink industry is witnessing a boom time. Its growth rate is
around 20% with which such growth rate, volume could reach billion crates with in 10
years. Three major multinational companies are fighting to grab a major chunk of business
from Indian markets. These three coca-cola, Pepsi, Cadbury. All of these companies have
seen an enormous potential in this country. Consequently, by world standard, Indian per
capita consumption of soft drinks is still very low.
There fore these soft drinks grants feel that fire capita consumption can only grow up.
Soft drink industries has already seen and estimated sale of around 240 million crates
higher then last year’s sale of 204 million in 1998. The Main reason for such a high growth
rate heightened competition between coca-cola and Pepsi, Cadbury, bring a new entrant is
for behind.
India is actually more vivid in taste and preference then any other country
market. Delhi jar instance, account for about 20% of total soft consumption in term of
sales.
There are about 4, 80,000 soft drinks retailers in India and their numbers are
increasing day to day. This actually means that there is just one soft drink retailer on a
population of 37,600, which is far below the international standard. Where as Philippines
has one soft drink retail counter over a population of 150 people i.e. 4, 00,000 outlets on a
population of 60 million.

SWOT ANALYSIS:-
(61)
STRENGTH:
Good market penetration.
Motivated channel partner.
Well defined routes.
WEAKNESS:
All brands were not available in at least 80% shops.
Complaint handling was not up to mark.
Supply in certain area is very irregular and also route agents are not covering full
routes( Gumti, Gadereinpurwa.)
Poor signage and display is making the routes week for the sale of Pepsi.
Interpersonal relationship with the company officials and the route agent is not
satisfactory.
OPPORTUNITY:
It is observed that in some newly establishing areas many new outlets are opening , Pepsi
needs to concentrate on these new outlets and can gradually increase its sale in these area.
Large number of mix outlets can be changed to Pepsi exclusive and coke exclusive to mix
only by luring them good and efficient supply, glow sign and cooling equipments.
THREATES:
Coke is the only nearest competitor and it is catching up in the market penetration through
price skimming and other promotional scheme.

FINDINGS
Following are the findings of the survey, which I observed during the survey:
(64)
• According to analysis Salesman informed more about the promotional
schemes as compared to other.
• Cash is more demanding item in market by outlets as because it gives
them a financial support to their business.
• The outlets join the schemes to motivate themselves by getting high prize
by company.
Coke ahs better condition in comparison of Pepsi in CAD & NCSD both case.
SUGGESIONS
1. Coca Cola India should concentrate on the sales of the 600 ml & 2000 ml packs.
2. The company can take better promotional measures to lead in NCSD segments.
(65)
3. Coca Cola India must try to improve its market share in clear lemon & orange
segment.
4. Coca Cola India should launch sales promotional activities with Sprite against
Mountain Dew to capture full market share.
5. It is suggested to have Customer Care Manager for market penetration of Coca Cola
India.
6. It is suggested to have different sales promotion tools at different routs.
7. Coca Cola India should provide promotional scheme to its primary customers.
8. Coca Cola India should take some action to stop falls commitment to primary
customers as it is tarnishing the image of company.
INTERPRETATION
• Many retailers joined the schemes to get something back from the coke.
This provides to be a motivating factor for them.
(66)
• Coke Co. ahs launched a display scheme to SPRITE to enhance the
market share of it against DEW in Kanpur City.
• As the figures say that short terms schemes for 6 month gives more time
to outlet to achieve their target.
LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
1. Retailers are reluctant to discuss the problems in detail and are not willing to
provide the exact
2. information of each brand and sizes to the researcher.
(67)
3. The no. of outlet sample was less to draw any conclusion of channel wise sales.
4. The time period of study is just 8 weeks, under such constraints the study cannot
be undertaken comprehensively.
5. Geographically area of Delhi was a big one and outlet were locationally scattered
in the nature. Thus was a difficult thing to cover even a single route in a day.
6. It being a dynamic market, where competition is cut throat, even outlet change
their response very frequently, thus at a time are biased.
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
These are the following suggestions, which I recommend to the distributor.
(68)
• Launching schemes which should act as counter attack schemes for
competitors
• In order to raise the sales and compete he market the distributor should
give some extra scheme to its retailers.
• New frequently scheme should be launched.
• In short-term scheme for 6 month should be launched in comparison to
other brand.
