    (DIL) for the brands Dabur Vatika Hair Oil and Dabur Chyawanprash

    The Vatika brand was launched in 1995 with Vatika Hair Oil as its first product. In the

    very first year of its launch it crossed Rs. 100 million in turnover. Over the years, Vatika

    has come to be amongst the companys highest selling brands. Vatika is a comparatively

    young brand but is already acknowledged for the qualitatively influential and pioneering

    role that it has played in the evolution of the categories it has had a presence in. Dabur

    Chyawanprash is the leader in the Chyawanprash category and enjoys a market share of

    61 per cent. In 50s Dabur pioneered the concept of branded Chyawanprash and since has

    invested heavily in product development, clinical studies and consumer awareness. The

    product is essentially a health supplement.

    This report is not aiming at the overall marketing mix or the marketing strategy of Dabur

    India Ltd, but is an attempt to analyze the marketing mix of Dabur Vatika Hair Oil and

    Dabur Chyawanprash.

    The report also enlists various recommendations based on BCG Growth Share Matrix

    analysis, Ansoffs Product Matrix Expansion Grid, SWOT Analysis etc. This analysis has

    CHAPTER: 1

    INTRODUCTION

    OVERVIEW OF FMCG SECTOR IN INDIA

    The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest

    sector in the economy with a total market size in

    excess of US$ 13.1 billion. It has a strong MNC

    presence and is characterized by a well-established

    distribution network, intense competition between

    the organized and unorganized segments and low operational cost. Availability of key

    7

  • 8/8/2019 sid final (1)

    8/63

    raw materials, cheaper labour costs and presence across the entire value chain gives India

    a competitive advantage.

    According to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), 'Bird of Gold': The Rise

    of India's Consumer Market, Indian incomes are likely to grow three-fold over the next

    two decades and India will become the world's fifth largest consumer market by 2025,

    moving up from its 2007 position as the world's 12th largest consumer market.

    India ranks second in the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence survey released on

    January 7, 2010an indication that recovery from the economic downturn is faster in

    India with consumers more willing to spend. The survey showed that in addition to the

    emerging markets of Indonesia and India, eight of the top ten most confident markets in

    The fourth quarter of 2009 came from the Asia Pacific region.

    The FMCG market is set to treble from US$ 13.1 billion in 2009 to US$ 33.4 billion in

    2015. Penetration level as well as per capita consumption in most product categories like

    jams, toothpaste, skin care, hair wash etc in India is low indicating the untapped market

    potential. Burgeoning Indian population, particularly the middle class and the rural

    segments, presents an opportunity to makers of branded products to convert consumers

    to branded products. Growth is also likely to come from consumer 'upgrading' in the

    matured product categories. With 200 million people expected to shift to processed andpackaged food by 2010, India needs around US$ 28 billion of investment in the food-

    processing industry.

    According to a FICCI-Technopak report, despite the economic slowdown, India's fast

    moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is poised to reach US$ 43 billion by 2013 and

    US$ 74 billion by 2018. The report states that implementation of the proposed Goods

    and Services Tax (GST) and the opening of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are

    expected to fuel growth further and raise the industry's size to US$ 47 billion by 2013

    and US$ 95 billion by 2018.

    The Ministry of Food Processing Industries is also planning to double the market size of

    the food processing industry to US$ 165.1 billion by 2009-10 and trebling it to US$

    271.8 billion by 2014-15.Demand for personal care products such as shampoos,

    toothpastes and hair-oils grew faster in rural areas than urban areas during April-

    September 2009, a period that includes the peak monsoon months, as per the numbers

    released by market researcher AC Nielsen.

    As socio-economic changes sweep across India, the country is witnessing the creation of

    many new markets and a further expansion of the existing ones. According to Pradeep

    Kashyap, chief executive officer of MART Rural Solutions, speaking at the Calcutta

    Management Association Rural Marketing Meet, over 300 million people would move

    up from the category of rural poor to rural lower middle class between 2005 and 2025

    and rural consumption levels are expected to rise to current urban levels by 2017.

    OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

    Following are the major objective of study:-

    1. To study the impact of Budget Policies on Marketing Strategy of Dabur Foods.

    2. To study the Consumer, Buying behavior.

    3. To study the problems faced by Dabur.

    IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

    Being student of BBA it is very essential for me to have a practical knowledge in an

    organisation. Only to study business administration course knowledge is not the solution

    of the problems, which arise in practical field. There is a certain formula for anyparticular problem, but the aim of this study is to develop the ability of decision making.

    A right decision at right time and right place itself helps an organisation to run smoothly.

    This study gives an idea of all marketing activities. So the way a problem is solved right

    decision making and knowledge of different types of making activities give much

    importance to the study. Only in two month training it was not possible to understand it

    so deeply, but an overall idea could be developed.

    LITERATURE REVIEW

    THE NEW DABUR ENTITY

    The New Dabur Identity modernizes the 100-year old equity of the

    Dabur brand by subtly transforming the tree. While it retains the essence of the banyan

    tree, it now projects a contemporary image, in consonance with today's lifestyle.

    The tree, a symbol of nature, is indelibly regarded as a provider of shelter, food and

    protection. On a metaphysical plane, the tree is regarded as sacred, trustworthy and a

    symbol of fertility. The new Dabur identity retains these enduring and valuable attributes,

    while it adds a fresh, healthy and holistic dimension to the tree.

    The new identity appropriates nature as the wellspring for Dabur. It conveys Dabur's

    heritage, commitment and stability through the form and colours of the tree; its branches

    and leaves. It also conveys that the brand stands for wellness across age groups. Taken as

    a whole, the tree appears well rooted, implying stability; and its abundant canopy implies

    that it can provide amply for those who seek its produce and shade. Further, the entire

    image, being well-proportioned, evokes a harmonious, well-balanced, wholesome and

    holistic brand.

    In India, the tree is a symbol of life. It is a giver of fuel, food and protection. It is a heaven

    for creatures it generously harbors in its foliage, as well as in the shade of its canopy. The

    tree is held auspicious as it spreads through the three spheres with its roots meshing

    through the earth, its trunk rising through the terrestrial world and its branches reaching

    into the heavens. This symbolism also occurs in cultures across the world.

    Keeping these vital associations in mind, the tree in the new Dabur identity has been

    carefully created to communicate Dabur's invaluable 100-year old legacy.

    COMPANY PROFILE

    13/63

    COMPANY PROFILE

    Over its 120 years of existence, the Dabur brand has stood for goodness through a natural

    lifestyle. An umbrella name for a variety of products, ranging from hair care to honey,

    Dabur has consistently ranked among Indias top brands. Its brands are built on the

    foundation of trust that a Dabur offering will never cause ones harm.

    The trust levels that this brand enjoys are phenomenally high. While Ries and Trout may

    ask What does Dabur stand forshampoo or digestive tablets? The answer is fairly

    simple, it stands for Indias fourth largest fast moving consumer goods company that both

    consumers and trade respect and trust unequivocally, and which has an annual turnover of

    over Rs 15 billion.

    The company has kept an eye on new generations of customers with a range of products

    that cater to a modern lifestyle, while managing not to alienate earlier generations of loyal

    customers.

    Dabur is an investor friendly brand as its financial performance shows. There is anabundance of information for its investors and prospective information including a daily

    update on the share price (something that very few Indian brands do). Theres a great

    sense of responsibility for investors funds on view. This is a direct extension of Daburs

    philosophy of taking care of its constituents and it adds to the sense of trust for the brand

    overall.

    OVERVIEW OF THE HAIR OIL SEGMENT

    In the last quarter of the previous century Indian women have imbibed global mores,

    ethics, fashions and styles in a remarkable way. Yet the popular iconography of Indian

    beauty still associates them with beautiful fair skin and dark, long lustrous hair a

    commonly accepted definition of beauty in Indian society.

    Across the country, mothers spend endless hours teaching their daughters what their

    mothers had taught them about maintenance of their natural beauty taken primarily

    as caring for the skin and hair. In the hair care regime, of the numerous prescriptions

    none is more universally accepted than the oiling of hair for nourishment and use of

    home-made concoctions of henna and shikakai paste for conditioning them.

    It would come as a surprise to only a few that hair oils have a penetration of almost

    98%. Of the branded market, hair oils form a major chunk accounting for Rs. 13

    billion with coconut hair oils as the prime segment at Rs. 9.1 billion.

    OVERVIEW OF VATIKA:

    The Vatika brand was launched in 1995 with Vatika Hair

    Oil as its first product. In the very first year of its launch it

    crossed Rs. 100 million in turnover. Over the years,

    Vatika has come to be amongst the companys highest selling

    brands.

    It was joined in 1997 by Vatika Henna Cream Conditioning

    Shampoo and later, in 2000, by Vatika Anti-Dandruff

    Shampoo. In 2009, brand sales crossed Rs. 1,000 million. From the companys

    perspective, Vatika is expected to continue to drive its growth in the years to come.

    With its innovative offerings, the brand aims to become a frontrunner in the market for

    hair care and skin care products.

    Vatika is a comparatively young brand but is already acknowledged for the

    qualitatively influential and pioneering role that it has played in the evolution of the

    categories it has had a presence in. Currently, the total annual sales of Vatika products

    18

  • 8/8/2019 sid final (1)

    19/63

    are over Rs. 1,000 million. Of this, Vatika Hair Oil enjoys a 6.4% market share in the

    coconut hair oil category.

    Vatika has not just been successful in garnering a premium image but, today, stands as

    the preferred and trusted brand of 11.1 million users (Source: IRS Household Data).

    STP ANALYSIS OF VATIKA HAIR OIL

    SEGMENTATION

    Vatika Hair Oil was launched at an almost 100% premium to the market leader.

    This meant that the segment of the market that dabur wanted to cater to was the

    premium segment which valued nourishment of the hair above the price and it tried

    to attend to that segment which was not price sensitive.

    TARGETING

    This was in line with its proposition and overall brand strategy of a premium up-

    market product targeted for individual needs as opposed to the collectivist culture of

    the category. It targeted the high income urban category of hair oil users. Since the

    product was expensive it could mainly cater to the urban market as opposed to the

    rural market where consumers are highly price sensitive. Being positioned as having

    amla, henna and lemon extracts, the product was targeted towards the young,

    contemporary, educated, multi-faceted, achievement-driven and confident women who

    were positioned as the Vatika Woman.

    POSITIONING

    Total hair Care brand:

    The product innovation was fed by the vital consumer insight that many women in

    contemporary India are worried about hair problems.

    PROMOTION:

    Vatika the key focus brand of the company has always been well supported.

    The company realized early that, from the perspective of brand building, it was vital

    to invest in this brand.

    .

    Vatika Hair Oils first promotion: It focused on the key benefit beautiful hair

    without hair problems that came about as a result of the extra nourishment

    through the value addition of henna, amla and lemon-derived additives.

    Creating conceptual awareness: In the initial phase of the communication, the

    marketing objective was to create conceptual awareness about the new product

    the goodness of coconut oil enriched with natural herbs. Vatika was firmly

    established as the leader in the new category of value-added hair oils and its

    promotion campaign was so successful that the product segment itself came to be

    identified with Vatika.

    PRODUCT:

    Brand Name: Vatika in Hindi means garden. The brand attempts

    to live up to the promises beauty and nature that are associated

    with its very name. Starting with these associations Vatika has

    assiduously built a brand that delivers on all these values through

    its various product offerings, the mother brand being Vatika Hair

    Oil.

    Innovative product offering: Vatika Hair Oil is coconut hair oil

    with special ingredients adding value to the product. While coconut oil has been

    regularly used by Indian women as a basic hair nutrient, a combination of herbs and

    natural products such as henna, amla and lemon have been used for special hair

    needs.

    Coconut hair oil provides nourishment to the hair, while henna along with other

    herbs coat the hair and protect it from oxidation, thereby maintaining its natural

    colour. Amla strengthens hair roots and helps maintain their natural health and

    thickness. Lemon with its astringent action controls sebum flow and helps in

    prevention of dandruff.

    Apart from henna, amla and lemon, it also contains other natural ingredients like

    brahmi, neem, bahera, kapurkachari, harar, dugdha and sugandhit dravyas.

    Packaging: The qualities of Vatika products, ascribed to the brand by hundreds of

    thousands of satisfied consumers, have been further underlined by its attractive

    packaging. In a category dominated by blue packs as analogous of pure coconut

    oils, Vatika broke the norm with its white and green bottle with a mushroom cap.

    The green-and-white colours, used in its packaging, reflect the brands naturalancestry and give it a premium look. These also help Vatika stand out in the

    cluttered environment of Indian retail.

    Quality: Vatika products contain natural ingredients that have been blended

    together through scientific processes at Daburs in-house research laboratories.

    Dabur Research Foundation has more than 100 scientists working together to make

    superior quality products that match international standards.

    PRICE:

    In the traditional coconut hair oil category, which presumably had price sensitive

    consumers, Vatika Hair Oil with its value added proposition henna, amla and

    lemon in a pure coconut oil broke this myth when it launched at almost a 100%

    premium to the market leader; even with such a pricing strategy it was able to

    garner a significant share from the leader in the very first year of its launch.

    The table above shows that Dabur Vatika is one of the highest priced of hair oils

    since it targets the higher income class and also that the prices have remain

    unchanged since 1999.

    STP ANALYSIS OF DABUR CHYAWANPRASH

    SEGMENTATION

    Dabur Chyawanprash is the market leader in the Chyawanprash segment. It comes under

    the category of health supplements. The segments that it considers are growing kids,

    competitive youth, ever busy housewives and the aged.

    For the growing kids: In today's competitive environment, the children are under high

    pressure to excel.

    For the competitive youth: Modern life keeps the youth busy and demands them to be

    active and efficient.

    For ever-busy housewives: The 'homemaker' needs to be fit in order to shoulder all

    responsibilities.

    For the aged: Old age weakens a person physically and mentally.

    After segmenting the population into these categories it aims to keep them fit and healthy.

    TARGETING

    Traditionally, chyawanprash was supposed to be a health supplement for the aged and

    kids. Dabur Chyawanprash (DCP) is now targeting adults, housewives, youth and

    kids .This it is trying to achieve through its promotion activities by making Amitabh

    Bacchan and Vivek Oberoi do the endorsement act. Amitabh has been projected as a

    user of Chyawanprash attempting to establish the relevance of DCP amongst the adults in

    todays demanding lifestyle. Vivek, who represents an urban ambitious non-user with a

    mindset that Chyawanprash is not for him, meets his moment of truth when outperformed

    by a young Chyawanprash user, thus reaching out to kids. His final conversion from a

    non-user to a Chyawanprash user connects with the Youth. These two ads compliment

    each other and connect very well with the targeted consumers

    well as secondary sources.

    For primary data, I proceeded with the drafting of the questionnaire for consumers was

    structured as undisguised, & Personal -interview retailers. It was handed personally by me

    to the respondents to be analyzed.

    the general public. The secondary data was gathered with the help of various magazines,

    newspapers, journals, brochures and also through the internet. For secondary sources no

    field work was employed.

    In order to amplify the empirical findings from primary and secondary sources, a survey

    was conducted both of consumers and retailers Distributor & Wholesalers in order to

    gauge the market opinion.

    growth and change in demand patterns, leading to an explosion of new opportunities.

    Around 45 per cent of the population in India is below 20 years of age and the young

    population is set to rise further. Aspiration levels in this age group have been fuelled by

    greater media exposure, unleashing a latent demand with more money and a new mindset.

    COMPETITOR ANALYSIS OF CHYAWANPRASH

    The key competitors of Dabur in the Chyawanprash segment are Baidyanath, Zandu and

    Himani, which together with Dabur have about 85% of India's domestic market.

    Dabur is India's largest Ayurvedic medicine supplier and the fourth largest producer of

    FMCG. It was established in 1884, and had grown to a business level in 2003 of about

    650 million dollars per year, though only a fraction of that is involved with Ayurvedic

    medicine. Dabur Chyawanprash (herbal honey) has a market share of 61%.We have tried

    to analyse the competition for Dabur in the Chyawanprash segment as follows:

    Sri Baidyanath Ayurvedic Bhawan Ltd. (Baidyanath for short) was founded in 1917 in

    Calcutta, and specializes in Ayurvedic medicines, though it has recently expanded into the

    FMCG sector with cosmetic and hair care products; one of its international products is

    Shikakai (soap pod) Shampoo. Its Chyawanprash has a market share of 10%.

    Zandu Pharmaceutical Works was incorporated in Bombay in 1919, named after an

    18th-century Ayurvedic. The company focuses primarily on Ayurvedic products (in 1930,

    pharmaceuticals were added, but the pharmaceutical division was separated off about 30

    years later).

    The Emami Group, founded in 1974, provides a diverse range of products, doing 110

    million dollars of business annually, though only a portion is involved with Ayurvedic

    products, through its Himani line; the company is mainly involved with

    46

    toiletriescosmetics, but also provides Chyawanprash and other health products. Its market

    share is 12%.

    DISTRIBUTION

    Supply chain: Dabur has steadily improved its procurement and distribution systems to

    achieve a significant reduction in material costs. Dabur has an extensive supply chain and

    distribution network that has grown and spans 29 factories, 47 stocking points, 4 zonal

    offices, a dozen manufacturing locations, six mother-warehouses and over 50Carrying and Forwarding Agents(CFAs) that distribute more than 1,000 SKUs to

    several thousand stockists and dealers.

    MIS: An in-house developed, easy-to-use, Intranet based data-warehouse displays as-

    of-yesterday sales, stock, receivables, banking, and other MIS. Over 5,000 ASP pages

    meet almost all reporting requirements and make this a single source of MIS for all levels

    of decision makers.

    VSATs: This Success paved the ground for the company's supply chain initiative. Fifty-

    five Ku Band TDMA VSATs were used to link primary distributors to the system.

    Factories were hooked up using PAMA (Permanent Assigned Multiple Access) VSATs.

    At some locations VPNs had to be used because it was not possible to set up a dish. The

    integrated primary and secondary system has a number of unique features. The features

    like tight integration of schemes, stockists credit limit control, automated banking of

    cheques, and online cheque reconciliation has obvious advantages in the primary

    distribution. These are basically extensions to the MFG/PRO ERP system and not core

    customizations. The integrated system allows each Area Manager to plan for the month's

    sales forecasts, stockists performance, and sales officers' performance. The integration

    allows better control on pipelines in primaries and secondaries, brings down inventories,

    and offers better control on production and sales against a confirmed forecast. The idea is

    to increasingly shift focus from primaries to secondaries. Schemes based on secondary

    volumes will help control secondary pipelines and sales. Primary sales will therefore

    come from a resultant 'pull' from secondary replenishments. Further, sales order servicing

    can be improved by taking orders through the Internet, and by setting stocking norms andreplenishing stocks to improve ROI of stock holders.

    MARKET PENETRATION: The new campaigns, featuring Amitabh Bachchan and,

    for the first time, Vivek Oberoi, makes an aggressive attempt to establish the relevance ofChyawanprash in an increasingly tough and demanding lifestyle, for the entire family. As

    a market leader, Daburs focus has been to increase the relevance of this time-tested and

    proven product in the family - both for users and non users - and increase penetration. In

    their new campaign they have tried to establish the fact that Chyawanprash, with its well

    - being properties, gives an edge to the users and dispel the myth that it should be

    consumed in illness or is meant only for Children or the aged.

    MARKET DEVELOPMENT: Dabur has identified exports as a major thrust area for

    the future. An international business division has been set up within the company to

    promote exports and it expects this business to grow steadily in the coming years. The

    company plans to focus on Russia and CIS countries along with Afghanistan, West

    Indies and the Asia Pacific region. It has also entered the North American markets by

    appointing distributors and initiating marketing of products to the ethnic Indian segment.

    The company has already been exporting hair oils, shampoos and Hajmola candies to

    Afghanistan. In Bangladesh, Dabur is entering into a joint venture with a local partner tomanufacture and market its products. Dabur will hold a majority stake in this joint

    venture.

    DABUR

    In the past, the sheerdiversity of Dabur's product portfolio has made an evaluation of

    the company's prospects quite difficult.

    Dabur's FMCG business contributes over 70 per cent of Dabur India's current revenues.

    Within the FMCG business, Dabur India focusses on three key product groups family

    products, healthcare and FMCG exports. The family products portfolio boasts of quite a

    few market leading brands Dabur Amla and Vatika hair oils, Vatika shampoo, Dabur

    Honey, and Dabur Lal Dant Manjan.

    Dabur India also has well-recognised brand names and an established distribution set-up

    in the healthcare business with brands such as Dabur Chyawanprash, Hajmola, Pudin

    Hara and Dabur Lal Tail. Given Dabur's acknowledged strengths in ayurvedic healthcare,

    the scope for expansion in each of these product baskets is considerable.

    Though in the recent years, the growth from Dabur's FMCG portfolio has been

    sedate, due to sluggish rural demand and intense competition from a host of regional

    brands and counterfeit products. However Dabur's operating profit margins have been

    more or less constant over this period.

    However, the FMCG business is Dabur's cash cow contributing over 70 per cent of

    Dabur India's current revenues. The business has consistently generated high cash

    CONCLUSION

    CONCLUSIONS

    57

  • 8/8/2019 sid final (1)

    58/63

    The ChyawanprashIndustry is yet to capture the beverage market in full swing. Packed

    Chyawanprash followed byAmla,Ashwagandha,Hareetaki, Dashmul, Ghrit and several

    other herbs and herbal extracts. The consumers patriotic love for tea and coffee is

    unfared. Chyawanprash are yet to establish their supplement use in the average

    household here in lies the great opportunities. Within the market, it is safe to conclude

    that dabur has hit off rather well with the masses. Dabur has clearly lost it head start

    advantage and thereby acquiring just 35% of the market share while others enjoy rest of

    the market share. This could be well attributed to dabur successful ATA (Availability,

    Taste and Affordability) marketing module, the attributes most rated by the consumers.

    Lack of publicity has hampered the growth progress of the brand so aggressive

    advertising is needed to promote Chyawanprash and Vatika hair oil brand .The brands

    such as that of Chyawanprash by vednath, Chyawanprash with its sonacahndi,

    Minute- made and also US food giantssDel Monte are ready to hit the Chyawanprash

    market very soon.

    Vatika hair oil has no major competition except an Australian Product Tobasco. As a

    new product so people are not able to digest it yet Dabur is getting 8 Crores from Vatika

    hair oil in which accounts for 4 Crores, Lemoneez 1 Crore & others 3 Crores .

    As the strategies of the companies keeps on changing, be it in Chyawanprash industry, a

    company has to create perceptions and cover them into realities. It is an expensiveproposition requiring huge expenditure on advertising, sponsorships and media. Thus, the

    ideal company will be the one which combines the high end technology with consumer

    insight.

    As 16% of the excise duty is exempted on food products in this budget, many food

    companies including Dabur got benefited from it. On the analysis of survey it was found

    that target Market of Chyawanprash want quality benefit rather then Price benefit, so it is

    better to stress on quality rather than on decreasing price to increase sales and profit. Toincrease market share Dabur should give slight price benefit on Dabur brand so that

    customers of other Juice brand should switch from other brand to Dabur brand.
