EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
With high regards I take this opportunity to put forward the project report after an
in depth and exhaustive training at PepsiCo India holdings pvt. Ltd. During my
training tenure study of Institutional sales was undertaken. It also consists the study
of competition and competitors. Tropicana is the premium juice brand from
PepsiCo and its core and main competitor in the juice industry is Real a product
from Dabur. Tropicana comes in various flavors like orange, grape, pineapple,
guava, apple, etc.
So the project is about studying market trends and consumer behavior by keeping
the competition in mind. It project I learn how the customer reacts on various
factors like rates, flavors, payment terms, and discounts offered. Since the
Instituions has high purchasing power so the rates offered to them should be very
lucratives and have high margins of discounts. In Institutions like school and
colleges we can quote high rates as compared to the Institutions like pubs and high
end bars

LITERATURE REVIEW
Coke and Pepsi in Russia: In 1972, Pepsi signed an agreement with the Soviet
Union, which made it the first Western product to be sold to consumers in Russia.
This was a landmark agreement and gave Pepsi the first-mover advantage.
Presently, Pepsi has 23 plants in the former Soviet Union and is the leader in the
soft-drink industry in Russia.
Pepsi outsells Coca-Cola by 6 to 1 and is seen as a local brand. Also, Pepsi must
counter trade its concentrate with Russia's Stolichnaya vodka since rubles are not
tradable on the world market. However, Pepsi has also had some problems. There
has not been an increase in brand loyalty for Pepsi since its advertising blitz in
Russia, even though it has produced commercials tailored to the Russian market
and has sponsored television concerts. On the positive side, Pepsi may be leading
Coca-Cola due to the big difference in price between the two colas. While Pepsi
sells for Rb250 (25 cents), Coca-Cola sells for Rb450. For the economy size, Pepsi
sells 2 liters for Rb1,300, but Coca-Cola sells 1.5 liters for Rb1,800. Coca-Cola, on
the other hand, only moved into Russia 2 years ago and is manufactured locally in
Moscow and St. Petersburg under a license. Despite investing $85 million in these
two bottling plants, they do not perceive Coca-Cola as a premium brand in the

Russian market. Moreover, they see it as a foreign brand in Russia. Lastly, while
Coca-Cola's bottle and label give it a high-class image, it is unable to capture
market share. Coke and Pepsi in Poland: Poland, with a population of 38 million
people, is the biggest consumer market in central and Eastern Europe. Coca-Cola is
closing in on Pepsi's lead in this country with 1992 sales of19.5 million cases
versus Pepsi's sales of 26.5 million cases. The main problems in this area are the
centralized economy, the lack of modern production facilities, a non-convertible
local currency, and poor distribution.
However, since the zloty is now convertible, Coca-Cola realizes the growth
potential in Poland. After Fiat, Coca-Cola is now the second biggest investor in
Poland. Coca-Cola has developed an investment plan, which includes direct
investment and joint ventures/investments with European bottling partners. Its
investments may exceed $250 million, and it has completed the infrastructure
building. Coca-Cola has divided Poland into 8 regions with strategic sites in each
of these areas. Moreover, it has organized a distribution network to make sure its
products are widely available. This distribution network, which Coca-Cola has
spent a lot of money organizing, is extremely important to challenge Pepsi's market
share and to maintain a high level of customer service. Also, Coca-Cola, like Pepsi,
signed counter trade agreements with Poland. Both trade their concentrate for
Polish beer. All of this has helped Coca-Cola to close in on Pepsi's lead in Poland.

Conclusion on Eastern Europe: Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi are trying to have their
colas available in as many locations in Eastern Europe, but at a cost which
consumers would be willing to pay. The concepts, which are becoming more
important in Eastern Europe include color, product attractiveness visibility, and
display quality. In addition, availability (meeting local demand by increasing
production locally), acceptability (building brand equity), and afford ability
(pricing higher than local brands, but adapting to local conditions) are the key
factors for Eastern Europe. Both companies hope that their western images and
brand products will help to boost their sales. Coca-Cola has a universal message
and campaign since it feels that Eastern Europe is part of the world and should not
be treated differently. Currently, it is difficult to say who is winning the cola wars
since the data from the relatively new market research firms focuses on major
cities. Pepsi had a commanding 4 to 1 lead in 1992 in the former Soviet Union.
Without this area, Coca-Cola has a 17% share versus Pepsi's 12% share in the soft
drink industry. While both companies have been in Eastern Europe for many years,
the main task now is to develop the market. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are in a dogfight,
but both will end up as winners. In the end, the ultimate winner will be the Eastern
Europeans who will have access to some of the world's best soft drinks. Coke and
Pepsi in Mexico: The Mexican government recently freed the Mexican soft drink
market from nearly 40 years of price controls in return for a commitment from

bottling companies to invest nearly $4.5 billion and create nearly 55,000 jobs over
the next 7 years. Naturally, Mexico has become another battleground in the
international cola wars. In Mexico, Coca-Cola and Pepsi command 50% and 21%
of the market respectively. The cola war is especially hot here because the per
capita consumption of Coca-Cola and Pepsi exceeds that of the United States
(Murphy, 6). Mexico is the only soft-drink market in the world that can make this
claim. The face off in Mexico is between Gemex, the largest Pepsi bottler outside
the United States, and Femsa, the beer and Soft Drink Company that own the
largest Coca-Cola franchise in the world. Femsa, however, may be at a
disadvantage. Despite being part of the conglomerate Grupo Vista, Femsa lacks
financial punch because it plays only a small part in the conglomerate's overall
interests. The challenge in Mexico is to win market share through distribution
efficiency (Murphy, 6). With this in mind, each company is undertaking strategic
efforts designed to bolster their shares of the Mexican market. Pepsi is moving in
on the Coke-dominated Yucatan peninsula while Femsa, the Coca-Cola franchisee,
is planning to invest $600 million more for 3 new Coca-Cola plants next door to
Gemex's Mexico City facilities. The parent companies have joined the battles as
well. Coca-Cola has made a $3 billion long-term commitment to the Mexican
market, and Pepsi has countered with a $750 million investment of its own. Coke
and Pepsi in China: Coca-Cola originally entered China in 1927, but left in 1949

when the Communists took over the country. In 1979, it returned with a shipment
of 30,000 cases from Hong Kong. Pepsi, which only entered China in 1982, is
trying to be the leading soft-drink producer in China by the year 2000. Even
though Coca-Cola's head start in China has given it an edge, there is plenty of
room in the country for both companies. Currently, Coca-Cola and Pepsi control
15% and 7% of the Chinese soft-drink market respectively. The Chinese market
presents unique problems. For example, 2,800 local soft-drink bottlers, many of
whom are state-owned, control nearly 75% of the Chinese market. Those bottlers
located in remote areas have virtual monopolies (The Economist, 67). The battle
for China will take place in the interior regions. These areas are impenetrate as
most of the foreign soft-drink producers have set up in the booming coastal cities.
China's high transportation and distribution costs mean that plants must be located
close to their markets. Otherwise, in a country of China's size, Coca-Cola and
Pepsi risk pricing their products as luxury items. In China, it is easier and
politically safer to expand through joint ventures with local bottlers. It is expected
that, in China, the company that wins the cola war will win based on the locations
of their bottling plants and the quality of the partners they choose (The Economist,
67). Coca-Cola is bottled at 13 sites across China; five of these are state-owned.
Also, Coca-Cola owns 2 concentrate plants in China. By 1996, Coca-Cola and its
joint venture partners will have invested nearly $500 million in China. Pepsi is

planning a $350 million expansion plan that will add 10 new plants. Both
companies are plowing profits straight back into expansion. They reason that any
returns will not come until the next century. Coke and Pepsi in Saudi Arabia: In
Saudi Arabia, Pepsi is the market leader and has been for nearly a generation. Part
of this is due to the absence of its archrival, Coca-Cola. For nearly 25 years, Coke
has been exiled from the desert kingdom. Coca-Cola's presence in Israel meant that
it was subject to an Arab boycott. Because of this, Pepsi has an 80% share of the
$1 billion Saudi soft-drink market. Saudi Arabia is Pepsi's third largest foreign
market, after Mexico and Canada (The Economist, 86). In 1993, almost 7% of
Pepsi-Cola International's sales came from Saudi Arabia alone. The environment in
Saudi Arabia makes the country very conducive to soft-drink sales: alcohol is
banned, the climate is hot and dry, the population is growing at 3.5% a year, and
the Saudis' oil-based wealth make it the most valuable market in the Middle East
(The Economist, 86). Coca-Cola, long known as red Pepsi, has finally started to
fight back. The battle for Saudi Arabia actually began 6 years ago, when the Arab
boycott collapsed and Coca-Cola began to make inroads into the Gulf, Egypt,
Lebanon, and Jordan. The start of the Gulf War, however, temporarily stunted
Coca-Cola's growth in the region. Pepsi's 5 Saudi factories worked 24 hours a day
to keep the troops refreshed. The most significant blow to Coca-Cola's return to the
desert, however, came at the end of the war, when General Norman Schwarzkopf
-

was shown signing the cease-fire with a can of diet Pepsi in his hand. Coca-Cola
aims to control 35% of the Saudi market by the year 2000. Coca-Cola, which plans
to pour over $100 million into the Saudi market, is focusing on marketing to get
there. Recently, it shipped some 20,000 red coolers into Saudi Arabia over the last
9 months. Also, Coca-Cola put $1 million into sponsoring the Saudi World Cup
soccer team. This alone has doubled Coca-Cola's market share to almost 15%.
America's Reynolds Company is among the investors looking to cash in on Coca-
Cola's return to Saudi Arabia. The company is among the investors in a new
factory, which, by 1996, will be producing 1.2 billion Coca-Cola cans per year.
This equates to nearly 100 cans for every Saudi in the country. Pepsi, trying to
fight off the Coca-Cola onslaught, has responded with deep discounting.
Conclusion: The new battleground for the cola wars is in the developing markets of
Eastern Europe (Russia, Romania, The Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland),
Mexico, China, Saudi Arabia, and India. With Coca-Cola and Pepsi's investments
in these countries, not only will they increase their sales worldwide, but they will
also help to build up these economies. These long-term commitments by both
companies will raise the level of competition and efficiency, and at the same time,
bring value to the distribution and production systems of these countries. Many
issues need to be overcome before a company can begin to produce its goods in a
foreign country. These issues include political, social, economic, operational, and
-

environmental topics, which must be addressed. When companies like Coca-Cola
and Pepsi effectively analyze and solve these problems to everyone's liking, new
foreign markets can translate into lucrative opportunities in the long run.

THE COMPANY
A pharmacist formed cola in the year 1898. He promoted it to be having
medicinal value that was later withdrawn. The cola was named after Pepsi, which
in a short span of time got popular all over and became one of the favorite drinks.
Pepsi-Cola was trademarked in the year1902. Its president and CEO was Alfred
N. Steele. In 1965, Pepsi cans first go into full-scale distribution having first ad
campaignTwice as much for a nickel.
Pepsi Foods Ltd (PFL) is the Indian subsidiary of Pepsi Co Inc.
Headquartered at New York. In 1989, PepsiCo started in India with processing of
tomatoes into Tomato Paste using Rossi and Catalli processing equipments.
Its involvement is not restricted to processing alone, but also in selecting and
growing high yield and disease free processing varieties through a pioneering
concept called CONTRACT FARMING. Under contract farming PepsiCo

provides nurseries of appropriate varieties and farming technology to the farmer
with a commitment to buy back specified quantities at specified prices.
Its contract farming technology provides a competitive advantage in
ensuring availability of appropriate quality of fruits and fixing up of
competitive procurement prices. Needless to say, PepsiCo is stringent on
quality assurance and good manufacturing practices at the manufacturing
facility. Their established Quality Assurance system provides for product
tractability as well in case of quality.
PepsiCo Headquarters
PepsiCo World Headquarters is located in Purchase, New York,
approximately 45 minutes from New York City. Edward Durrell Stone, one of
Americas foremost architects, designed the seven-building headquarters
complex. The building occupies 10 acres of a 144-acre complex that includes
the Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens, a world- acclaimed sculpture
collection in a garden setting. PepsiCo International includes all PepsiCo
businesses in the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, MiddleEast and Africa.

Pepsi-Cola began selling its products outside the United States and Canada in
the mid-1930s, opening in the United Kingdom in 1936.
Operations grew rapidly beginning in the 1950s. Brands include Aquafina,
Gatorade and Tropicana.
In addition to brands marketed in the United States, PepsiCo International
brands include Seven-Up and many local brands.
PepsiCo began its international snack food operations in 1966. Often PepsiCo
snack food products are known by local names. These names include Walkers
in the United Kingdom, Smiths in Australia, Matutano in Spain, and others. The
company markets Frito-Lay brands on a global level, and introduces unique
products for local tastes.

Our Commitment
Our commitment is to deliver sustained growth, through empowered people,
acting with responsibility and building trust. Heres what this means:
Sustained Growth is fundamental to motivating and measuring our success.
Our quest for sustained growth stimulates innovation, places a value on results,
and helps us understand whether todays actions will contribute to our future. It
is about growth of people and company performance. It prioritizes making a
difference and getting things done.
Empowered People means we have the freedom to act and think in ways that
we feel will get the job done, while being consistent with the processes that
ensure proper governance and being mindful of the rest of the companys needs.
Responsibility and Trust forms the foundation for healthy growth. Its about
earning the confidence that other people place in us as individuals and as a
company. Our responsibility means we take personal and corporate ownership
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
19/74
19
for all we do, to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. We build
trust between others and ourselves by walking the talk and being committed to
succeeding together.
Guiding Principles
This is how we carry out our commitment.
We must always strive to:
Care for customers, consumers and the world we live in. An intense,
competitive spirit in the marketplace drives us, but we direct this spirit toward
solutions that achieve a win for each of our constituents as well as a win for the
corporation. Our success depends on a thorough understanding of our
customers, consumers and communities. Caring means going the extra mile.
Essentially, this is a spirit of growing rather than taking.
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
20/74
20
Sell only products we can be proud of. The test of our standards is that we
must be able to personally endorse our products without reservation and
consume them ourselves. This principle extends to every part of the business,
from the purchasing of ingredients to the point where our products reach the
consumers hands.
Speak with truth and candor. We speak up, telling the whole picture, not just
what is convenient to achieving individual goals. In addition to being clear,
honest and accurate, we take responsibility to ensure our communications are
understood.
Balance short term and long term. We make decisions that hold both short-
term and long-term risks and benefits in balance over time. Without this
balance, we cannot achieve the goal of sustainable growth.
Win with diversity and inclusion. We leverage a work environment that
embraces people with diverse backgrounds, traits and different ways of
thinking. This leads to innovation, the ability to identify new market
opportunities, all of which helps develop new products and drives our ability to
sustain our commitments to growth through empowered people.

Respect others and succeed together. This company is built on individual
excellence and personal accountability, but no one can achieve our goals by
acting alone. We need great people who also have the capability of working
together, whether in structured teams or informal collaboration. Mutual success
is absolutely dependent on treating everyone who touches the business with
respect, inside and outside the company. A spirit of fun, our respect for others
and the value we put on teamwork make us a company people enjoy being part
of, and this enables us to deliver world-class performance.

Pepsi Co The Indian Scene
No single foreign investment project has been the center of much attention and
controversy in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the Pepsi Co project in India.
PepsiCo made an attempt to enter into India as early as in May 1985, teaming up
with Agro Product Export Ltd., a company owned by R. P. Goenka group, and
sought permission from the central government to import cola concentrate and to
sell a PepsiCo brand soft drink in the Indian market, in return for the export of
juice concentrate from Punjab. The Indian government in September1988 cleared
the project, Pepsi Foods Limited, as a joint venture of Pepsi Co, Punjab
government-owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation (PAIC) and Voltas India
Limited. Before this project was cleared, under this proposal, the main objectives
put forward by Pepsi Co were 'to promote the development and export of Indian
made and agro-based products and to foster the introduction and development of
PepsiCo products in India'. This proposal which was submitted to the Secretary at
Ministry of Industrial Development received rejections on the grounds that the
import of concentrate could not be agreed to and the use of foreign brand names as
domestic tariff area (DTA) was not allowed.
Strategizing the problem in Punjab at that time, PepsiCo successfully played the
'Punjab Card' and again put forward a proposal in 1986 with stress more on
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
23/74
23
diversification of Punjab agriculture and employment generation rather than on
soft drinks. The proponents of project called it as a second 'Green Revolution' in
Punjab and projected it as harbinger of a horticultural revolution that would end
stagnation in Punjab's rural sector and would help in promoting small and middle
farmers. A strong argument was put forward that this project will create ample
employment opportunities for the unemployed youth who has taken the path of
terrorism and thereby will help in restoration of peace in Punjab. This argument
was well received in the political circles in Delhi and Punjab, which finally led to
PepsiCos entry into India in the form of a joint venture with PAIC, and Voltas as
its partners. The equity of Pepsi Foods Limited was divided among the partners
with PAIC holding 36.11 percent, Voltas 24 and PepsiCo 36.89 percent. PepsiCo
made certain commitments to Indian government, which also formed the basis of
its entry. Some important commitments made by PepsiCo included:
y The project will create employment for around 50000 people nationally,
including 25000 jobs in Punjab alone;
y 74 percent of the total investment will be in food and agro- processing.
Manufacturing of soft drinks will be limited to only 25 percent;
y PepsiCo will bring advanced technology in food processing and provide thrust
by marketing Indian products abroad;
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
24/74
24
y State of the art technology would be provided in the fields of food processing
and soft drink manufacturing at no foreign exchange outflow;
y 50 percent of the total value of production will be exported;
y An agro-research centre will be established by PepsiCo in consultation with
ICAR and PAU;
y No foreign brand name will be used for domestic sales;
y
The export-import ratio will be 5:1
over1
0 years, which means that for every
dollar spends in foreign exchange on this project, the company will ensure an
export earning of 5 dollars for10 years;
y 25 percent of the total fruits and vegetable crops in Punjab will be processed in
the project;
y A substantial increase in government revenue due to consumer market
expansion and tax collection.

Change of Brand Name
When Pepsi was allowed to begin its operation, one of the commitments made was
that the company would not use its brand name, Pepsi, in India. During the first
year of operation, Pepsi used an Indian brand name, Lehar Pepsi. But with the
introduction of the new economic policy in 1991 under which the use of foreign
brands was allowed, Pepsi immediately changed its soft drink brand name from
Lehar Pepsi to Pepsi.

From Joint Venture to Fully-Owned Subsidiary
Pepsi is no longer a joint venture company with its Indian
partners. Taking full advantage of liberalised policies, it has taken full control of
Pepsi Foods. In 1994, Pepsi made an offer to both Voltas and PAIC to buy their
equity at 'attractive' terms. Voltas sold all its shares to Pepsi while PAIC, being a
public enterprise, was forced to pull out and now it holds less than 1 percent of the
total equity in Pepsi Foods Ltd. Government has allowed Pepsi to increase its
turnover of beverages component to beyond 25 percent, and Pepsi is also no longer
restricted to export 50 percent of its turnover. Recently the government also
allowed PepsiCo to set up a new company in India called PepsiCo India Holdings
Pvt.Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo International. Surprisingly, the new
company is also engaged in beverage manufacturing, bottling and exports activities
as Pepsi Foods Ltd. All the new investments by the PepsiCo International have
been canalized through this new venture. It now handles 28 bottling plants with a
sales turnover higher than Pepsi Foods turnover. Although the financial
performance of both these companies in India has not been creditable so far yet it
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
27/74
27
has been successful in achieving significant market share and brand royalty in
India. The company in recent years has not only bought over bottlers in different
parts of India but also bought Dukes, a popular soft-drink brand in western India to
consolidate its market share. It has also shrewdly consolidated its position through
aggressive marketing and advertising in India. According to surveys conducted by
many market research agencies, Pepsi now holds over 40 percent share in Indian
soft drink market. Another important recent shift in Pepsi's marketing strategy has
been its focus on Cola over other non-Cola brands. At the international level,
PepsiCo International has been focusing more on India where the consumption of
soft drinks is expected to increase many-fold which is only three ounces per person
now as compared to 200 ounces in Europe and over 300 ounces in North America.
But, at the same time it is not realized that there is a vast difference between the
purchasing power of an average Indian and North American as it takes an Indian
1.5 hours of work to be able to buy a bottle of Pepsi whereas for a North American,
it takes less than 5 minutes. This experience of15 years clearly shows that Pepsi is
totally preoccupied with selling soft drinks in India.

Diversification
PepsiCo to enhance its business, invested into diversified business. They build up
different strategies and laid up plans to come up with new ideas. This time the
strategy was called Acquisitions in the restaurant industry. As a result PepsiCo
acquired Pizza Hut in 1977, Taco Bell in 1978 and Kentucky Fried Chicken in
1986. This three business made PepsiCo the Largest Restaurant Company in the
world.
PepsiCo officials started concentrating more on the restaurant business resulting
into the drop of1% of their shares in the Cola market, during 1996. They realized
in early 1997 that if they want to be there in the soft drinks market then they would
have to give up the restaurant business, which they acquired. So, during late 1997
they sold off some of its restaurant to its franchises and made a separate
corporation to issue shares in the open market for complete or partial sell off of
restaurants in the market.
Different Brands of Pepsi Co.(India)
Pepsi Co is today having the soft drinks market in India with lots of its brands.
They have also diversified into different sectors. Their popularly exiting brands in

INNOVATION IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Through their use of the most modern technology in recent years, PepsiCo and its
bottlers were able to improve their distribution and logistics management
operations significantly. To further improve the market penetration of its products
globally, PepsiCo launched two new distribution methods in the initial years of the
new millennium. These were the chilled DSD system and the hybrid system.
CHILLED DSD SYSTEM
The chilled DSD system was a relatively small distribution method, created for
items, which required continuous refrigeration. This was primarily created for the
fruit juices product line as they can spoil quickly if not given the required
condition and care so chilled DSD system ensures that continuous refrigeration
helps in preventing the products from spoiling.
THE HYBRID SYSTEM
In this system the company makes the collaboration with other company of
complementary good so that their distribution channel is also used for the sales of
its product. As taking the practical example of the collaboration of Coca cola and
McDonald. Through this collaboration the distribution channel of the Coca colaincreases, as at ever McDonald the Coca cola will be there. So increase the
distribution channel through collaboration with other company is know as hybrid
system. This system is actually benefited by the synergy created by collaboration
of two companies.

INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
In order to manage its distribution systems effectively, PepsiCo and Coca cola had put in place-advanced logistics systems. They sold beverage concentrate to
bottlers, who added carbon dioxide, sweetener and water to make beverages and
beverage syrup. Syrup was either sold directly to the fountain accounts or was
combined with carbonated water for bottling. Bottling companies were (with a few
exceptions) owned and operated by local companies in the countries where
PepsiCo and Coca cola operated.
DISTRIBUTION STRATEGIES
A Company can choose any of the following distribution types: -
Exclusive Distribution
Selective Distribution Intensive Distribution
PEPSI HAS ADOPTED THE INTENSIVE DISTRIBUTIONSTRATEGY.
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil

INTENSIVE DISTRIBUTION:
A Strategy of intensive distribution is characterized by placing the goods orservices in as many outlets as possible. When the consumer requires a great deal of
location convenience, it is important to offer greater intensity of Distribution. This
strategy is generally used for convenience items such as Tobacco, gasoline, and
soap, snack foods & bubblegum.
Manufactures are constantly tempted to move from exclusive or selective
distribution to more intensive distribution to increase their coverage and sales and
you could find Pepsi in nursing homes, confectionery shops, departmental stores;
you name it & Pepsi is available there.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL REDIFINED
Pepsi has redefined distribution to strengthen their competitive advantage in the
emerging consumer and market scenario. Their earlier focus was to drive wide
availability and enable easy access to their brands for consumers. Now they seek to
go well beyond this distribution paradigm. Their new approach is more holistic
touching consumers in multiple ways at the point of purchase and more
importantly, creating opportunities for customers to receive brand message and
experience our brands.
They are proactively addressing these emerging trends by approaching distribution
and channels in a much broader way. They are shifting emphasis from mere reach
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil

or availability expansion to touching consumers with a 3- way convergence- of
product availability, brand communication and higher level of brand experience.
They are thus going beyond delivering products and creating greater
engagement and interaction around the purchasing experience.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
1). The quality of the juices is excellent.
2). The taste is also very good.
3). It is a brand name so there is no problem on quality and popularity.
4). It is a product of a very repudiated company so people have their trust on the
product.
5). Packaging of the product is good.
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
41/74
41
WEAKNESS
1). Market coverage is less as compare to the core competitor Real.
Otherwise there is no weakness in our product that is Tropicana.
Opportunity
1). Since market coverage is less so there is hugh opportunity for Tropicana to
increase the sales by covering the market.
2). Packaging can be more attractive by which we can attract the attention of the
people.

8/3/2019 Project Anil

THREAT
1). Competition is the biggest threat to any product or company. So like this Real
is the threat to the Tropicana.
2). Some juices like Onjuice and Lehberry are available in the market at very
lower rates so they are also a very major threat to Tropicana in some of target
markets.
Comparative Study with Competitors
Are market research surveys the true indicator of a company's success? Absolutely
not, if the figures released on market shares of juices giants Dabur and Pepsi by
two different research agencies -- ORG-Marg and Indian Marketing Research
Bureau (IMRB) -- are any indicator.
A survey by ORG-Marg showed that Dabur garnered over 56 per cent of the juices
market this year against arch rival Pepsis (Tropicana) 30 percent and others
brands like parle appy has 10 percent and others has another 4 percent Figures
from the survey conducted by ORG-Marg, which was hired by Coca Cola,

indicated that Coke brands mustered 56.6 per cent of the market in 23 cities where
the survey was conducted despite trailing in six cities. PepsiCo India, on the other
hand garnered 39.7 per cent with its brands like Pepsi, Tropicana, Miranda, Teem,
Seven-Up and Due, it said.
However, IMRB survey, which was conducted in 51 cities, shows that Pepsi
increased its market share from 43 % to 47.3 %.
Pepsi sources claimed that volume growth in the Indian market as declared by
Coke was merely 31% in the first six months against Pepsi's growth rate of 42 %.
Coca Cola brands Coke, Fanta, Thums up, Limca, and Maaza however trailed its
rival in six cities including Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Coimbatore, says the
ORG-Marg survey.
It goes on to reveal that Pepsico cornered 51.7 per cent of the Mumbai market (as
against 47.4 of Coca Cola), 50.5 per cent of Bangalore (48.7 by Coke), 50.4 per
cent of Pune (49.4 by Coke) and 53.9 per cent in Coimbatore (as against 42 per
cent by Coke).
In Delhi, Coke held a lead over Pepsi by carving a market share of 51.2 per cent as
against 43.8 per cent of its rival, according to ORG-Marg survey. However, the
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
44/74
44
IMRB survey claims that Coke's market share in Delhi was 45per cent against
Pepsi's 49%.
ORG-Marg said Coca Cola held market share of over 70 per cent in cities like
Amritsar, Hyderabad, Ludhiana and Indore.
The Coca-Cola Co. andPepsiCo, Inc. saw their share of the U.S. soft-
drink market decline last year ina report that ranks the top-10 U.S. makers of
carbonated soft drinks (CSD).Coca-Cola, the industry leader, saw its market share
drop by 0.9% to 43.1%. PepsiCo (No. 2) saw a drop of 0.1% to 31.7%. Coca-
Cola's case volume dipped 1% to 4.4 billion, while PepsiCo
had 3.2 billion cases with a gain of 0.4%, according to annual rankings by
Beverage Digest/Maxwell, a Bedford Hills, NY-based data service that tracks soft-
drinks sales. As for individual brands, Coke had a 17.9% market share, down
0.7%. Pepsi ranked No.2 with 11.5% market share and a 0.4% dip. Cadbury
Schweppes and Cott Corp., the leading producer of private label CSDs, increased
their share of the $65.9 billion market. Cadbury Schweppes is the No. 4 CSD
producer followed by Cott, National Beverage, Big Red, Red Bull, Hansen
Natural, Monarch Co. and Rockstar.

The overall industry grew 1% in 2004. Together, the top three companiesCoke,
Pepsi and Cadbury Schweppesaccounted for about 90% of industry volume, the
report, which was released last Friday, said. There were some changes in the top-
10 brands last year. Diet Dr Pepper re-entered the rankings at No.9. Sprite dropped
down one place to No. 6, Diet Pepsi moved ahead of Sprite into the No. 5 spot.
And for the first time since the tracking began in 1985, 7UP dropped out of the
top-10 brands. Coke Classic holds the No. 1 spot with 17.9% market share,
followed by Pepsi at 11.5%. Both saw a slight dip in market share of 0.7% and
0.4% respectively. Volume for both was also down at 3% for Coke and 2.5% for
Pepsi. Diet Coke holds the No. 3 position, followed by Mountain Dew (Pepsi),
Diet Pepsi, Sprite (Coke), Dr Pepper (Cadbury), CF Diet Coke, Diet Dr Pepper and
Sierra Mist (Pepsi).The retail value of the soft-drink industry overall grew 3.25%
to $65.9 billion, up from $63.8 billion in 2003, as prices increased faster than
volume.

Advertisements and its Effectiveness
PepsiCo invests heavily on advertisements of its products. It has come up with
many interesting advertisements in such a short span of time, which has got good
recall among the masses. Though different age groups recall different ad
Campaigns, the most commonly recalled are here under.
a. Kareena, Saif, Preity, Fardeen ad Series.
b. World Cup ad.
c. Amitabh and Sachin Tendulkar ad.
d. Aishwarya Rai and Aamir Khan ad.
e. Adnan Sami, Kareena and Shahrukh Khan ad.
f. Yeh Dil Maange More ad.
g. Sachin Tendulkar and Shahrukh Khan ad.
Pepsi also gave some memorable punch lines in the market, some of them are
stated below:
y Yeh Dil Maange More!
y Yehi Hai Right Choice Baby, Aha!
y Nothing Official About It!

8/3/2019 Project Anil

y Pepsi - Mera Number Kab Aayega?
y Mausam Garam Hai, Pepsi Ke Liye Hum Besaram Hain!
Mad ad War
The first salvo was fired by Pepsi when it featured actor Aamir Khan in it's
commercial. Coke has now retaliated in the same vein; Aamir Khan is asking
consumers to drink Coke and not Pepsi. For this change of stance, Coke has
reportedly paid him a cool Rs 2 crore. He was apparently paid Rs 17 lakh to
endorse Pepsi. The cola war seems to be all about getting the top stars for their
commercials.
But ad filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar, who does the commercials for Pepsi, doesn't
believe that to be the case. It's got nothing to do with stars. It's all about who has
the better idea. The consumer is not a fool. Are you carried away by the fact that
Pepsi and Coke are using film stars? You will only appreciate the ad if it is well
made, if the creative cutting edge is good, if it makes you either laugh or cry.
Between Coke and Pepsi they have signed on nine players of the Indian cricket
team. And Bollywood seems to be the next hot spot they want to cool. For now, it's
Fardeen Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Preitty Zinta, Shah Rukh, Manisha
Koirala, Rani Mukherjee and Kajol in the blue (Pepsi) corner and Aishwarya Rai,
Vivek Oberoi, Karisma Kapoor, Rambha and Amir in the red (Coke). This is just
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
48/74
48
the beginning.
And why not! Umpteen market studies have shown that after cricketers it's the
Bollywood stars that have an impact on their target audience, the15-30 age group.
After that it's music, festivals and food, in that order that gets the Indian consumer
all geared up. It's a battle for the mind to build brand loyalty, if you can get to the
mind of the consumer through an advertisement that will excite him, an effective
demand is created for the product.
To do just that Pepsi has signed on the three actresses in a span of two months.
And Coke, which has never had actors in its marketing plans, seems to have a new
strategy.
Pepsi's strategy internationally was to use film stars for their commercials. "But
Coke never uses stars. India is an exception; here they are copying Pepsi." Pepsi is
critical of Coke for "lifting" the jingle of a Pepsi ad featuring Sachin (Sachin ala re
ala) before the Pepsi ad could be released. Pepsi finally released the ad with a new
jingle. Coke should stop copying Pepsi commercials and get on with their job.
They should spend their energy on the creative aspects of their commercials.

Though both the colas are clear where to pick their endorsees from, the marketing
strategy they adopt is very different. For Pepsi, on-screen advertising is a priority.
"It depends on what it want to say in its ad. With Shah Rukh, it wanted to bring out
a never-say-die' spirit.And so the ad of Shah Rukh getting Pepsi, despite a
ferocious dog."
To bring in a whiff of femininity into their campaigns the company roped in
Manisha.
Pepsi then signed up the "bubbly" Rani Mukherjee. With Shah Rukh Khan, already
in the blue corner, only Kajol was missing from the star cast of the blockbuster
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The company capitalized on its timely USP. They took her
on and an ad featuring the trio.
For Coca-Cola, on the other hand, "90 per cent of the celebrity endorsements is in
actual consumer contact and only 10 per cent is on screen advertisements," says
Rahul Dhawan, director, external affairs, Coca-Cola. And so for Diwali, last year,
in Mumbai many houses had Bollywood bombshell Karishma Kapoor knocking on
their doors. "And if someone welcomed her with a Coca-Cola they won a prize, In
Thiruvananthapuram it was Rambha who went out on visits.
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil

Coca cola believe that visual eye contact with the personality is far better than
seeing a 10-second ad.
Pepsi does not endorse this. "A celebrity must be used as a casting device".
"Humanity is involved when it comes to Pepsi."
In such a competitive industry poaching, of ideas and models, is inevitable. "Yes,
poaching always happens, but they don't want to trigger off another cola war." The
ad war between the cola giants is dirty.
And how does PepsiCo feels about Aamir doing the Coke ad?
"Well, good for them and good for Aamir. They are going to have a tough time
because everyone's going to compare it with the Pepsi ad. Pepsi is smart, they will
make the old ad memorable in some way. It is a double-edged sword."
So here's looking forward to more hiss and fizz, cola style.
How do you decide if a particular ad has caught the viewers' imagination?
Other than the success of a commercial being measured in absolute volume
increase terms, we also have a fortnightly constant consumer tracking' where
-
8/3/2019 Project Anil
51/74
51
we do audits of consumers in 21 metros, randomly selected. We check out
top of the mind recall of various ads, soft drink as well as others. There is no
point in running an ad that the consumer does not connect with.
Movies and Coca-Cola; where do you think you really connect?
Our movie sponsorships are connecting basically with the cinema house
where the movie is being screened. We devise some excitement around the
movies which directly connect with our consumers. Even here, we try and
see that our product is available in more than one stall.
We try to live up to the guiding principle of our company, that is to have our
product within arm's reach of desire. Basically you will see more than one
counter in movie halls where we are selling our products, unlike the good
old days where you had only one counter and virtually half the movie-goers
gathered around it. We also have in-movie promos, as in Priya Cinema in
Delhi , where we have a graffiti-writing contest about the movie. You fill in
a form with the graffiti and put it in a box and in the interval the best graffiti
gets splashed on screen. The winner gets two tickets for the next movie.

Preference of ad Campaigns
The survey showed an interesting analysis between all the age groups as far
as the likings for advertisements are concerned. It was found that the
youngsters preferred the ads of Pepsi at its peak whereas Coke, Mirinda and
Dew followed it. Moving to the next group where liking for all ad
campaigns was shown, rating Pepsi again the highest. The next age group
showed their preference towards Coke and other all but making the ads of
Thums Up invalid. Again the next group rated the ads of Pepsi, as the most
liked one followed by others striking Thums Up out. The last age group
responded only to the ads of Coke and Thums Up throwing all others out.

Market Research Analysis
A market survey was conducted with the questionnaire to look into the key areas of
Pepsi. The survey was done by randomly selecting the 100 samples (people). The
excerpts of those key factors have been discussed hereunder.
Age Group of the Samples
The trend of juices took momentum after 2000. There is maximum possibility that
juices may not be so much popular with the young age group. Based on these
assumption we put the question in our questionnaire to find out, people falling in
which are the maximum consumers of the juices.
During the survey we also found retaliation from the older age group in filling the
questionnaire. All the age groups participated enthusiastically in the survey

FINDINGS
1). Market share of Real is less as compared to the market leader Tropicana.
2).Rates of both the brands i.e. Tropicana and Real are almost same but there is a
slight difference in some of the flavors.
3).The image of Tropicana is very good on people and they feel that the quality of
Tropicana is excellent.
4).Market coverage is less compared to Real because of the sales team for
Tropicana is less.
5).Tropicana doesnt have the flavor cranberry which is considered as a very
important flavor in Institutions.
6).People really like Tropicana because of the quality and the brand name.

SUGGESTIONS
Institutions hesitate to make a switch over the brand that they are using until and
unless that they are offered very lucrative and special offers. A large area of market
is still untouched so there are a ample of opportunity in the market for Tropicana
and by exploiting them Tropicana can achieve a good relative market share against
Real. Another important thing is that by making the packaging of our product more
attractive we can attract more customers. Since our market is less as compared to
the market leader so to enjoy more sales we have to put some offers on our product
which will be helpful for attracting more customers.
We can make the packaging of our product more attractive to instantly grab the
attention of the customers. And one thing which can really turn around the
situations is to introduced some new flavors including cranberry. And the last but
not the least company should concentrate more on the advertisement part because
it is the tool which can turnaround the company in such type of products.
