Chapter1INTRODUCTION

1.1 Vermicelli

Vermicelli is a traditional type of Italian pasta round in section that is thicker than

spaghetti.

In English, the Italian loanword "vermicelli" is used to indicate different sorts of long

pasta shapes from different part of the world but mostly from South or East Asia. The

dish in the original language are variously known as seviyan in Urdu and Hindi, shemai

in Bengali, sev in Gujarati, shavige in Kannada, sevalu or semiya in Telugu, and semiya

in Tamil and Malayalam. The noodles are used in a number of dishes including a

variation of kheer, a sweet dessert similar to rice pudding. Vermicelli are also used in

many parts of India to make a popular dish called upma. To prepare it, dry oil-roasted

vermicelli are boiled with a choice of vegetables.

“HALDIRAM” – a name associated with discerning consumers for sweets and

namkeens for past seven decades in India and abroad. It made its modest start in the

beginning of 1937 in Bikaner, a city of Rajasthan, India and was founded by Shivkishan

Aggarwal. The brand name HALDIRAM BHUJIYAWALA was introduced during pre-

partition era – 1941, subsequently the reach was extended to eastern part of India i.e.

Kolkata in 1958, further consolidated to western India also at Nagpur in 1968 and from

there it never looked back and ventured first major step in this direction by opening up a

showroom in Chandni Chowk in 1982, the main hub of commerce in Delhi. The prime

focus was to serve sweets and namkeens amongst consumers and the trade it directly.

Page 10: Project on haldiram vermicilli

In 1970, a large manufacturing unit was set up in Nagpur in the state of Maharashtra

(India). In 1982, a retail outlet was set up in New Delhi. The outlet became very popular

not only among the Delhities but also among tourists visiting Delhi.

Haldiram's was able to achieve significant growth during the 1980s and 1990s. In 1992, a

manufacturing unit with a retail outlet attached to it was set up in the outskirts of Delhi.

A year later, Haldiram's syrups and crushes were successfully launched in the Indian

market. In 1995, a restaurant was opened in New Delhi. In 1997, realizing the potential of

namkeens, the company started a manufacturing unit in Delhi exclusively for making

namkeens.

The company offered a wide variety of traditional Indian sweets and snacks at

competitive prices that appealed to people belonging to different age groups.

It was the first company in India to brand 'namkeens’.

The group also pioneered new ways of packaging namkeens. Its packaging techniques

increased the shelf life of namkeens from less than a week to more than six months.

It was also one of the first companies in India to open a restaurant in New Delhi offering

traditional Indian snack food items such as "panipuri," "chatpapri," and so on, which

catered to the needs of hygiene conscious non-resident Indians and other foreign

customers.

In the mid 1990s, Haldiram's added bakery items, dairy products, sharbats and ice creams

to its portfolio. At the beginning of the 21st century, Haldiram's products reached

millions of consumers not only in India, but also in several other countries, including the

US, Canada, UK, UAE, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Japan and Thailand.

Page 11: Project on haldiram vermicilli

To add potato products to its existing product portfolio, machinery was imported from the

US.

Haldiram's maintained high quality standards at every stage of the production process.

All its food items were prepared and packaged in a very hygienic environment.

Encouraged by tremendous response of consumers, ‘HALDIRAM’ decided to go for an

up-gradation on technology, packaging, production etc. with the installation of best

machinery and hiring best staff. Through hard work, complete dedication,

uncompromising quality, - ‘HALDIRAM’ became a part of each family.

1.3 GROWTH

In 1992, when ‘HALDIRAM’ turned itself into a group segment, a most sophisticated

manufacturing centre cum showroom was established at Main Mathura Road, New Delhi

under the banner ‘HALDIRAM MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED’ which

was a run away success.

The New Delhi unit caters to Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Jammu

&Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and part of Assam.

The company also has three showrooms in Delhi, located at Main Mathura Road, Lajpat

Nagar and Chandni Chowk. These offer variety of fast foods as well as traditional foods.

Trust in quality is an obsession which is being enjoyed by million of families. The quality

of salty snacks and scrumptious sweets met the international standard and speak for itself.

To sustain in competitive market, “HALDIRAM” has endeavored stress on quality,

packing, shelf life, competitive price with special emphasis on consumers satisfaction and

its lingering taste is amongst the best available in the world. To say the least, amongst the

sweets and namkeens, we can modestly say “you name it-we have it”.

Haldiram’s is not only popular in India but also in many eastern countries too and is

expanding day by day.

Page 13: Project on haldiram vermicilli

1.4 MARKET SHARE

The Namkeen market in India is magnanimous which consists of both the organized and

the unorganized sectors. The unorganized Namkeen market consists of home made and

loose salty snacks generally sold in small Kiranas. The branded or the organized

Namkeen segment in India is increasing virtually by the day. Some of the major players

in the Indian Namkeen market consist of Haldiram Foods Frito-Lay India Mc Fills. The

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research design

According to David J. Luck and Ronald S. Rubin, "A research design is the determination

and statement of the general research approach or strategy adopted/or the particular

project. It is the heart of planning. If the design adheres to the research objective, it will

ensure that the client's needs will be served."

Research designs are concerned with turning the research question into a testing project.

The research design has been considered as a "blueprint" for research, dealing with at

least four problems: what questions to study, what data are relevant, what data to collect,

and how to analyze the results.

Descriptive research is used to obtain information concerning the current status of the

phenomena to describe "what exists" with respect to variables or conditions in a situation.

The methods involved range from the survey which describes the status quo, the

correlation study which investigates the relationship between variables, to developmental

studies which seek to determine changes over time.

Sampling Design

It indicates how the sample units are selected. One of the most important decisions in this

regard is to determine which of the two- probability & non-probability sample is to be

chosen.

Page 18: Project on haldiram vermicilli

In probability sampling, the probability or chance of every unit in the population being

included in the sample is known.

In non-probability sampling, the probability of inclusion of any unit in the population in

the sample is not known.

For the research work Random Sampling will be used.

A random sampling gives every unit of the population a known & non-zero probability of

being selected. Since random sampling implies equal probability to every unit in the

population, it is necessary that the selection of the sample must be free from human

judgement

Sample Location:-

Sample location is that location from where samples are collected for research work.

Field work was carried out for Haldiram Snacks Pvt. Ltd. in the area of East Delhi.

These areas comprised of:-

Preet Vihar.

Shahadra.

Laxmi Nagar..

Surajmal Vihar.

Vivek Vihar

Page 19: Project on haldiram vermicilli

Data collection:-

1) Primary data- Primary data is first hand information on any happening or event. It is

collected through questionnaire. Through questionnaire requisite information can be

collected.

The source of data collection was primary data which was collected by personal

interview of retailers of the vermicelli, aided by structured questionnaire. For Research,

50 people were chosen from the region to fill up questionnaire.

2) Secondary data- Secondary data plays an important role to get huge information

regarding concerned topic. Any data which have been gathered earlier for some purpose

is secondary data. The secondary data is economical and is widely used. It saves much of

the time of the researcher.

The secondary data to support the report was collected from the company employees and

the internet.

Instrument Used

For carrying out the research work, questionnaire had been used.

A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions and other

prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents.

Questionnaires have advantages over some other types of surveys in that they are cheap,

do not require as much effort from the questioner as verbal or telephone surveys, and

often have standardized answers that make it simple to compile data. However, such

standardized answers may frustrate users. Questionnaires are also sharply limited by the

fact that respondents must be able to read the questions and respond to them.

Page 20: Project on haldiram vermicilli

The questionnaire being used is structured questionnaire.

Analytical Tool

The analytical tool used for the research report is Percentage test . Percentage test is

used to find the percent of responses given by respondents and also to provide pictorial

representation of data.

BRAND SOLD

Page 23: Project on haldiram vermicilli

The American Marketing Association defines a brand as a "name, term, design, symbol,

or any other feature that identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of

other sellers. The legal term for brand is trademark. A brand may identify one item, a

family of items, or all items of that seller. If used for the firm as a whole, the preferred

term is trade name.

A brand can take many forms, including a name, sign, symbol, color combination or

slogan. The word branding began simply as a way to tell one person's cattle from another

by means of a hot iron stamp. The word brand has continued to evolve to encompass

identity — it affects the personality of a product, company or service

Retailers were asked about which brand vermicelli the sell.

PACKAGING

Packaging is the science, art, and technology of enclosing or protecting products for

distribution, storage, sale, and use. Packaging also refers to the process of design,

evaluation, and production of packages. Packaging can be described as a coordinated

system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use.

Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells. In many countries

it is fully integrated into government, business, institutional, industrial, and personal use.

Retailers who sold Haldiram’s Vermicelli were further enquired about the preference of

the customers that which pack of the vermicelli do customers most prefer and do they

find the packaging fine.

Page 29: Project on haldiram vermicilli

PRICE

In ordinary usage, price is the quantity of payment or compensation given by one party to

another in return for goods or services. In all modern economies, the overwhelming

majority of prices are quoted in (and the transactions involve) units of some form of

currency. Although in theory, prices could be quoted as quantities of other goods or

services this sort of barter exchange is rarely seen.

In Finance there are a number of pricing units that fall outside the categories of currency

and barter. For example a monetary loan can be priced in percentage point units using the

formula (100% - Interest Rate). The total amount of interest payable depends upon the

loan amount and the period of the loan, and since each potential borrower has different

loan requirements, it is not sensible to use the total amount of interest payable as the

price. Other examples can be found in the area of Financial Derivative pricing

Price can sometimes alternatively refer to the quantity of payment requested by a seller of

goods or services, rather than the eventual payment amount. This requested amount is

often called the asking price or selling price, while the actual payment may be called the

transaction price or traded price. Likewise, the bid price or buying price is the quantity of

payment offered by a buyer of goods or services, although this meaning is more common

in asset or financial markets than in consumer markets.

Page 30: Project on haldiram vermicilli

Retailers were enquired that how they find the prices of the Haldiram’s Vermicelli and

other products too, 100% of them said that it was worth priced.

Page 31: Project on haldiram vermicilli

QUALITY

Quality in business, engineering and manufacturing has a pragmatic interpretation as the

non-inferiority or superiority of something. Quality is a perceptual, conditional and

somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people.

Consumers may focus on the specification quality of a product/service, or how it

compares to competitors in the marketplace. Producers might measure the conformance

quality, or degree to which the product/service was produced correctly.

100% of the retailers found that quality of Haldiram’s Vermicelli and other products is

far better then any other brand. They were found satisfied with it.

Page 32: Project on haldiram vermicilli

MARGIN

The difference between the cost and the selling price of securities or commodities

6.1 LIMITATIONS

1) Some of the respondents were totally unresponsive and were not ready to cooperate.

2) Due to none availability of concerned person questions remained unanswered.

reduce the biasness but complete elimination of biasness is not possible.

4) In research retailers behavior is studied but the retailers behavior is not assessed

correctly,

5) The reliability of the data to great extent is dependent on the honesty and

cooperation of the respondents in providing the information

Page 39: Project on haldiram vermicilli

6.2 SUGGESTIONS

Many retailers complaint about the distribution network of Haldiram’s, therefore

it needs improvement for better sales.

In the area of Patparganj and Madhu Vihar retailers complaint that the distributer

is rude and he himself retails the product and lower price, and if the sell at the

same price, the do not get any margin. It is a area of high concern.

Many retailers complaint that they were not aware of the product, therefore

advertisement is needed for increased sales.

No awareness among the customers too, therefore they always ask for Bambino or

other brands.

Some retailers also demanded for roasted Vermicelli products so it should be

taken care of.
