INTRODUCTION

India with a population of more the 110 crores is potentially

one of the largest consumer market in the world. With urbanization

and development of economy, tastes and interests of the people

changes according to the advance nation.

Marketing is about winning this new environment.

It is about understanding what consumers wants a

supplying its more efficiently and more conveniently.



6/114

The consumer market may be ident if ied as the market for

product and services that are purchased by individuals as household

for their personal consumption. Soft drinks is a typical consumer

product purchased by individual primarily quench their thirst and

also for refreshment. Different types of soft drinks are available in

the market and more or less content of all soft drinks is same. The

market of soft drink is facing a cutthroat competit ion and many

companies are f loat ing in the market with their products with

different brand names. In such a situation different factors which

influence the people choice for soft drinks are taste , quali ty ,

images, easy availability and the product cost of advertisement. The

Govt. of India has considered the soft drinks industry as ``Non

essential As a result the excise duty levied by govt. on better soft

drinks is very high.

Thus in a country l ike India where more than 50% of the total

population exists below poverty line, the consumer cannot afford

such high price for soft drinks. As a result the trading activities of

the soft drinks industry is concentrated in and around big cities and

town where the purchasing power of populat ion is considered

comparatively high.



7/114

Sof t dr inks Indus tr ies in India has an annual sal e of abou t

4000crores, with per capita consumption of soft drinks at a low of

seven bottle per annum (even Pakistan has a per capita consumption

of 14; in China and U.S.A. is more than 800 bottles) is due to price

factor.

So, marketing is both philosophy and technology. It is technology

because it suggests ways and means for effective production and

distribution of goods and services in the market to give maximumsatisfaction to the consumer.

The marketing manager is responsible for both determining and

suitability of goods and services in the market to give maximum

satisfaction to the consumer.



8/114

The marketing manager is responsible for both determining and

suitability of goods and services presented by the company to the

market, and also determining about potential market and make

better relation with retailer.

In this regard the marketing management with have to apply to

marketing technology in the conceptual philosophy of a system. It is

the process of system analysis in the marketing management for

effective research and can be defined, Systematic objective and

exhaustive study of tasks relevant to any problem in the field of

marketing.

HISTORY OF PEPSICO



19/114

Born in the Carolinas in 1898, Pepsi-Cola has a long and rich history. The

drink is the invention ofCaleb Bradham (left), a pharmacist and drugstore owner

in New Bern, North Carolina.

The summer of 1898, as usual, was hot and

humid in New Bern, North Carolina. So a young

pharmacist named Caleb Bradham began

experimenting with combinations of spices, juices,

and syrups trying to create a refreshing new drink

to serve his customers. He succeeded beyond all

expectations because he invented the beverage

known around the world as Pepsi-Cola.

Caleb Bradham knew that to keep people returning to his pharmacy, he

would have to turn it into a gathering place. He did so by concocting his own

special beverage, a soft drink. His creation, a unique mixture of kola nut extract,

vanilla and rare-oils, became so popular his customers named it "Brad's Drink."

Caleb decided to rename it "Pepsi-Cola," and advertised his new soft drink. People

responded, and sales of Pepsi-Cola started to grow, convincing him that he should

form a company to market the new beverage.

In 1902, he launched the Pepsi-Cola Company in the back room of his

pharmacy, and applied to the U.S. Patent Office for a trademark. At first, he mixed

the syrup himself and sold it exclusively through soda fountains. But soon Caleb



20/114

recognized that a greater opportunity existed to bottle Pepsi so that people could

drink it anywhere.

The business began to grow, and on June 16, 1903, "Pepsi-Cola" was

officially registered with the U.S. Patent Office. That year, Caleb sold 7,968 gallons

of syrup, using the theme line "Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion." He also

began awarding franchises to bottle Pepsi to independent investors, whose number

grew from just two in 1905, in the cities of Charlotte and Durham, North Carolina, to

15 the following year, and 40 by 1907. By the end of 1910, there were Pepsi-Cola

franchises in 24 states.

Pepsi-Cola's first bottling line resulted from some less-than-sophisticated

engineering in the back room of Caleb's pharmacy. Building a strong franchise

system was one of Caleb's greatest achievements. Local Pepsi-Cola bottlers,

entrepreneurial in spirit and dedicated to the product's success, provided a sturdy

foundation. They were the cornerstone of the Pepsi-Cola enterprise. By 1907, the

new company was selling more than 100,000 gallons of syrup per year.

Growth was phenomenal, and in 1909 Caleb erected a headquarters so

spectacular that the town of New Bern pictured it on a postcard. Famous racing car

driver Barney Oldfield endorsed Pepsi in newspaper ads as "A bully

drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race."

The previous year, Pepsi had been one of the first companies in the United

States to switch from horse-drawn transport to motor vehicles, and Caleb's



21/114

business expertise captured widespread attention. He was even mentioned as a

possible candidate for Governor. A 1913 editorial in the Greensboro Patriot praised

him for his "keen and energetic business sense."

Pepsi-Cola enjoyed 17 unbroken years of success. Caleb now promoted

Pepsi sales with the slogan, "Drink Pepsi-Cola. It will satisfy you." Then came

World War I, and the cost of doing business increased drastically. Sugar prices see

sawed between record highs and disastrous lows, and so did the price of producing

Pepsi-Cola. Caleb was forced into a series of business gambles just to survive,

until finally, after three exhausting years, his luck ran out and he was bankrupted.

By 1921, only two plants remained open. It wasn't until a successful candy

manufacturer, Charles G. Guth, appeared on the scene that the future of Pepsi-

Cola was assured. Guth was president of Loft Incorporated, a large chain of candy

stores and soda fountains along the eastern seaboard. He saw Pepsi-Cola as an

opportunity to discontinue an unsatisfactory business relationship with the Coca-

Cola Company, and at the same time to add an attractive drawing card to Loft's

soda fountains. He was right. After five owners and 15 unprofitable years, Pepsi-

Cola was once again a thriving national brand.

One oddity of the time, for a number of years, all of Pepsi-Cola's sales were

actually administered from a Baltimore building apparently owned by Coca-Cola,

and named for its president. Within two years, Pepsi would earn $1 million for its

new owner. With the resurgence came new confidence, a rarity in those days



22/114

because the nation was in the early stages of a severe economic decline that came

to be known as the Great Depression.

HISTORY OF PEPSI IN INDIA

As an MNC, On the globe, Pepsi Foods Ltd is one of the largest soft

drink companies in the world with its head quarters in New York.

Pepsi entered the Indian soft drink market in 1988

and began its production in May 1990 and soon it was

giving the local contenders the run for their money in

the soft drink market. It come out with dazzling

marketing innovation that rocket the cola market line

selling the product through function, Pepsi outlets.

Pepsis success in creating a brand almost from scratch

in India is the stuff that marketing case studies are

made of. Given the problems of doing business in

markets l ike ours, Pepsi entered the market as an

under-dog. Its first even advantage- it entered before

Coke returned-was considerable reduced by the

enormous export obligations stepped on the company.

Yet right from the beginning, Pepsi demonstrated a farmore focused approached .So while it entered the

market l ike any other MNC, it was quick to adapt, It

realized that consumers, particularly the youth, to



23/114

whom it consciously reached out , would identify better

with a brand that they se as global, yet Indian, Pepsi

was built as a desi brand. Hence its deliberate attempt

to build ad campaigns using the popular Hinglish In the

process, slogans like, YEHI HAI RIGHT CHOICE BABY and

YEHDILMAANGEMORE AHA

became part of Indias popular consciousness. When

Pepsi lost the bidding batt le to sponsor a Cricket

tournament to Coke, the loss was turned into triumph

with the catch line, Nothing official about it. It cashed

in on the untapped consumer aspirat ion in smaller

towns, the hinterlands of metropolitan cities and now a

days the slogan which is on air is YEHPYAASHAIBADI

It showed a rare abil i ty not only to survive, but also grow

through Indias tortuous policy twists and turns, which threw many

other MNCs off balance. Its top management team did not suffer

from the frequent changes seen at rival, Coke Consequently, it was

able to Unl ike coke, which paid enormous prices to buy out



24/114

established local brands, Pepsi brought i ts own stuff over, and

pushed those aggressively with dealers, retailers and consumers.

Right now, it can bark its outstanding success in building a brand

that has become synonymous with soft drinks across the length and

breadth of the country .

1. WATERTREATMENT :

Water treatment is very important in soft drinks plant as the nature

and quality of water varies from place to place. To set uniform and

standard water the process of treatment is carried on. The water

t aken out f rom bor ing wel l by the help of moto r pump and

chlorinated by chlorinates and then by the help of pipelines comes

to treatment tank called Coagulation Tank where to this water



38/114

solution of different strength of added through dosing pump to

reduce alkalinity, hardness, kill the bacterias. The chemicals are

mixed by settle down as sludge and clear water passes to Retention

Tank. From This tank the wa ter passes through sand f il ter

containing fine sand and pebbles and carbon fil ter containing

granular carbon and finally through water polisher, micron filter,

UV Lamp to ensure clear and Sanitary Water for use.

Further water used in bottle washer and boiler needs softening. For

this purpose, the water from storage Tank, after passing through

two f ilt er be lts containing f ine sand and g ranular ca rbon

respectively comes to pass through a belt of Resin and bottle washer

to reduce scale formation inside the machines.

2. SYRUP MAKING :

For syrup making of particular brand, calculated quantity of

sugar, water activated carbon and high-flown super cell known as

fi l ter Aid are taken into a sugar space to enter s team and also

filtered by a motor with agitator, Sugar syrup called Raw-Syrup is

prepared by dissolving the sugar with continuous stirring and

heating by steam supplied by oil fired boiler. This hot syrup by the



39/114

help of a pump is fi l tered through a fi l ter press attached with a

serious of quality filter paper to separate out carbon particles. Clear

hot syrup by the help of SS pipelines passes through water P.H.E.

circulated by glycol for further cooling. The chilled syrup comes to

a Mixing tank, which is quantity of Bricks Hydrometer, concentrate

is added and to the mixed thoroughly by a mechanical stirrer filter

to the rank. This mainly, the liquid part are kept in a cold store, the

tempera ture i f f in ished syrup room is a lso maintained Air-

conditioner. All the containers used for syrup making are cleaned

and sanitized by Soda-bi-Carbonate, strong chlorine solution and

not caustic soda solution.

&

1. The majority of retailers deal in all the brand ofPepsi & Coke.



103/114

2. The study reveals that the market share of Pepsi in

Patna is 41.76% as compared to Coca Cola is

58.24% thus Pepsi having a Clear edge over Coca

Cola.

3. The study reveals the immediate steps are not

taken in the replacement of damaged or breakage

goods. The rival company Coca-Cola is very quick

in this area. And efficient also.

4. Number of route vehicles for delivery of goods is

less than the required one for proper coverage of

whole area of Patna. Thus just in time and efficient

delivery is affected.

5. The demand of Coke exceeds the demand of Pepsi.

6. The Varun Beverages Pvt. Ltd. Pays attention in

different marketing function also these are :

a) Anticipating & recognition of demand

b) Stimulation of demand.

c) Satisfaction of demand.



104/114

7. Company at certain interval conduct market survey

to evaluate demand trend. Consumption pattern &

nature of growing competition in spite of the fact that

soft drinks has already high & almost stable demand.

So company undertakes different promotional schemes

to enjoy them.

I had confirmed my study to different specified

direction. As for Varun Beverages Pvt. Ltd., It can be

said that i t does not have any major draw back in

marketing activities still more efficient distribution by

dealers & more effective sales executives & sales

forces are required.

Though the over all grip maintenance is

satisfactory & company can retain market share & also

can upgrade it.



105/114

SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATION

The above study elicits the fact that sales department of

Varun Beverages Pvt. LTD. should introduced some

changes in its marketing activities to make it more rational

1 A healthy relationship should be developed by the

company

Executive with the retailers.

2. As most of the dealers have complaint that the salesman

does not tell them about schemes .For this before launching

any scheme company should advertise it by distributing

Pamphlets to the dealers mentioning the Period of the

scheme & time to time Proper check is required.



106/114

3. No. of route vehicles for delivery of goods should be

increased in number for proper catering in the entire area

of Patna effectively & efficiently.

4. Company should make fridge available at maximum

outlets and repairing of its misleaders (refrigerators) and

glow signboard, which are out of order in an outlet up to the

level, thus it is parallel of even better than Competitors.

2. Proper supply of all brand of PEPSI.

3. The commitment of supplying gifts items or incentive or

incentive should be carried out on or before the

scheduled time.

4. The distribution should keep literate and experienced

sales man because they can convince to retailers easily

and sold out the product in the market.

5. The company should supply its banners sign board etc.as an advertisement media to the retailers of few area

which will as usual became sales promotion tool for

them.



107/114

6. Distributor and retail out lets feed back should be taken

time to time so as to trace the actual existing problem

related to there and the market.

10.Company should develop policy. so that the soft drinks

are

made available at all the outlets during the peak

seasons.

11.Leakage and blasted bottles are per policy of the

company

are taken back but generally these bottles may of the

time

are not taken back as a result an inharmonious

relation

develop between the company and retailers this should

be

rectified it has adverse effect in the brand of the

company.

CONCLUSION OF THE STUDY



108/114

I have studied and analyzed the PepsiCo on different aspects of the

markets, outlets, distribution and consumers. The survey was conducted in various

areas of city with great enthusiasm. This project report concludes that PepsiCo and

its other brands are easily available in various part of Agra because of that the local

distribution channel of the PepsiCo is much strong and 100% is tough job and the

most important thing, which I feel to improve, is the availability to retailers and

consumers.

The retailers and consumers both promote either PepsiCo or any other of its

brands (E.g. MOUNTAIN DEW) for could be with regard to order processing,

warehousing, inventory management and transportation; besides that shop

covering, time of enter and exit from the market by the salesmen, cooling

appliances VISICOOLERS, glow shine board, schemes, incentives, prizes, gifts,

discount, proper billing, returning of defective goods, proper supply should be

improved.

My job was to make marketing managers aware of all the problems so that a

proper course of action is required to be undertaken.

The job competitor of PepsiCo is no local brand can beat PepsiCo in term of

sale of its brand and the cooling appliances VISICOOLER.



109/114

RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTIONS

After completing this report I find myself able to recommend VARUN

BEVERAGES Ltd. to boost up the sales of PepsiCo and its other brands.

1) PRODUCT AWARENESS PROGRAMES FOR CONSUMERS AND

RETAILETRS SHOULD INCREASE.

1. For Retailers the company should organize seminars, but there

must be compulsion for retailers to attend the seminars.

2. For consumers the company should organize some more

programmers may help increase the market share of PepsiCo.

2) SUPERVISION ON THE DISTRIBUTION ROOTS IS REQUIRED.

The main purpose behind this is that on time to time there is eye check

on salesmens efficiency and on top of that they are going to meet retailers

directly.

3) PROMOTE DELIVERY OF PRODUCT



110/114

Promote delivery of the product to the customers is very much necessary

towards enhancing the reputation of company and which is defining helpful in

keeping the customers.

4) INCREASE THE MOTIVATION

The company should motivate its sales force to take the achievement higher

than the targeted by rewarding them properly.

5) PepsiCo should keep sales engineers in various areas to provide technical

support to the outlets related to the cooling system VISICOOLERS.

6) The schemes and the other information are properly communicated to the

retailers so that they are better equipped to handle the quarries of customers

properly.

7) Another problem is replacement.

Any VISICOOLER or BOTTLE has some defect then the salesman

should replace it immediately.

8) There should be the time to time and proper survey of the market.

9) On extra sales unto some predetermined margins the sales force should

paid extra commission and bonuses.



111/114

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Responsible managers and personals in the marketing department of

VARUN BEVERAGES LTD. Provide necessary assistance to me in Marketing

strategy of PEPSI. They discussed different aspects and functions of marketing

as practical PepsiCo India ltd (VBL). Almost all the necessary information was

provided to me in the support of this project report.

However there are some problems, which cannot escape from.

The limitations faced, felt or expressed by me are as follows-



112/114

Due to lack of time (i.e., two & half month) it is not possible to reach all

respondents.

The lack of availability of time on the respondents part.

Some respondents was biased.

I tried to overcome on these limitations.
