1.1 Company Profile:
The commencement of Emami Group took place way back in mid seventies when
Mr. R.S. Agarwal and Mr. R.S. Goenka left their high profile jobs with the Birla Group to set
up Kemco Chemicals, an Ayurvedic medicine and cosmetic manufacturing unit in Kolkata in
1974.
The company started manufacturing
cosmetic products as well as Ayurvedic
medicines under the brand name of Emami
from a small factory in Kolkata. A chain of
distributors was established and the sale of
Emami products spread from West Bengal
to rest of Eastern India and gradually to
other states.
Ten years after commencement of the company, it launched their first flagship brand
Boroplus Antiseptic Cream under the Himani umbrella in 1984. Many additional brands
followed Boroplus including Boroplus Prickly Heat Powder which came as a brand extension
of the mother brand. Emami brands started selling in all states of North, East and West India.
Today Boroplus is not only the largest selling Antiseptic Cream in India but also in Russia,
Ukraine, and Nepal.
Nineties was very eventful for Emami. The next flagship brand of the company
Navratna Cool Oil came in the nineties under the Himani Umbrella and the second factory
was opened at Pondicherry to expand production. Navratna over the years has become a
market leader in the cool oil category.
Emami Ltd, the flagship company of the Rs 2000 crore Emami Group, is a leading
player in the personal and healthcare consumer products industry in India. A jewel in the
crown of the conglomerate, the company is a coveted Rs 700 crore business entity engaged in
manufacture and marketing of health, beauty and personal care products that are based
entirely on ayurvedic formulation.
Established by Mr. R S Agarwal and Mr. R S Goenka in 1974, Emami Limited has
over 25 brands under its portfolio. The company‟s financials show it has repeatedly
outperformed the industry standards. Emami Ltd has maintained a CAGR of 25% over the
last three years compared to the industry average of 16-17%.

Understanding the human needs and fulfilling them by dint of technical research is a
positive feature of Emami. This is being made possible by Himani Ayurveda Science
Foundation (HASF) that generates the very best of ayurvedic formulations. The foundation‟s
unique range of healthcare products aptly caters to consumer needs. The world class quality
control methods and processes maintained by HASF ensure optimum utility of each
ingredient. The foundation is completely engaged in constant innovation and pharmaceutical
enhancements.
Boroplus brand is the market leader in
the antiseptic cream segment; the Navratna Oil
is also in the pole position in the cool oil
segment. Fair and Handsome is the pioneer in
the fairness cream for men segment. Emami‟s
products in different categories like cool oil,
antiseptic cream, fairness cream for men, and
the crème herbal hair pack have carved a niche
for themselves in their respective segments.
Boroplus has been selected as among the top 100 brands by the Brand Equity of The
Economic Times. In 2006 and 2007, Navratna has been ranked the 6th Most Energized
Indian Brand by the DY&R Brand Asset Valuator.
Sona Chandi Chyawanprash, Himani Fast Relief (ayurvedic pain relief ointment),
Mentho plus (pain balm), Hairlife (crème herbal hair pack) and Emami Malai Kesar (cold
cream) are also major players in their respective categories. Brand extensions have helped
Emami consolidate its position in the market and also cater to varied consumer needs.
Emami has recently entered the glycerine soap category with Emami Pure Skin and
petroleum jelly category with Emami Vasocare.
Emami has successfully established its brands through strong celebrity endorsements.
It is the only corporate entity in the country to have both Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh
Khan as brand endorsers for the same brand Navratna. The concept of brand endorsement by
celebrities has been successfully experimented in case of 25 brand launches. Besides
Amitabh and Shah Rukh, other celebrity endorsers of Emami‟s brand include Madhuri Dixit,
Kareena Kapoor, Govinda, Sourav Ganguly, Chiranjeevi, Surya and Upendra among others.
Emami has also taken up a major revamping project to enhance the sales and
distribution, human resources development and logistics with the globally renowned
professional advisory services firm, Ernst and Young. „Project Navodaya‟, as it is truly

2.8 Limitations of the study:
These 10 weeks at Emami Limited was a very good experience. It was a practical learning
for me. I was able to get a clear insight about some aspects of a FMCG company. It was
through the official help that I got from the employees and the face to face interaction that I
had with the consumers as well as retailers. However during this learning there were some
limitations that were a hindrance in making my project a better one. The limitations were:-
1) The respondents were not giving that much time so that I could finish my interview.
2) During the consumer survey the respondents were hesitant to give their phone
numbers for reference.
3) To cover such a big sample size in the tough Monsoon weather was difficult.
4) The study was conducted within Kolkata & Asansol. So, there will be error to judge
the market of all over India based on this report.
5) A beauty parlor & salon survey was also done but due to the insufficient response any
meaningful insight couldn‟t be fetched.
6) The general official confidentiality regarding the new product was a barrier too.

3.1 Findings of the Qualitative primary research [Focus groups & Personal interview]:
These are a few points regarding the purpose, barriers & expected features or qualities
of henna which were highlighted in the focus groups and the interviews which were
arranged as a part of the qualitative primary research.
Purpose Barriers Expected Features
Coloring & conditioning 1. As it is needed to be
kept for a longer
time after applying,
it catches cold.
Specially in the
winter time it can’t
be used frequently
2. Applying henna is a
lengthy process &
thus very difficult to
apply
3. Can’t be applied
without the help of
another person

coloring, it doesn’t
give instant result.
5. It comes in limited
shades.
6. Highlighting can’t
be done using henna
7. Hair becomes dry
immediately after
using henna & the
curly hair becomes
unmanageable
8. To make henna
effective a lot of
natural ingredients
such as curd, tea,
lemon, egg is needed
to be mixed with it.
1. Smoothness i.e.
shouldn’t make the
hair dry immediately
after using henna
2. Ready to use form
can be effective as it
will not take that
much time to apply.
3. If it gives instant
result, then it might
be able to pull the
customers towards
it.

Chapter IV: Recommendations &
Conclusions
4.1 Recommendations
4.2 Conclusions
Regn. No. 200923015, Dept. of Mgt. Studies, SMIT
65 Cntd. to next page
4.1 Recommendations:
After studying the market for 10weeks in an extensive manner regarding
particular objective, certain scenarios of the market of Henna has come forward.
Depending on these observations I would like to suggest some strategies which might
give a fuel to the campaign. Here is the proposed Marketing Mix for the Henna
depending on a few parameters:-
PRODUCT
Rational benefit:
It is clear so far that the main purpose of using henna for the majority of people is
„Conditioning‟. While choosing henna they will be seeking for henna which does better
conditioning. So, if the product is put forward as the Natural Conditioner with Better
Conditioning Power, which would draw the attention of the customer effectively.
Product Concept:
80% users use to mix tea with henna. They also add coffee, lemon, curd etc. which all
are having good conditioning power. If these ingredients come with the product, that
would increase the conditioning power. And it will be an added benefit to the customers
as they don‟t need to mix it separately.
Majority of the non users don‟t use henna or have stopped using as it seems to
difficult to apply to them. Keeping this problem in mind, if a concept of ready to use
henna can be thought, that might be fruitful according to my view.
Size of the SKUs:
The medium sized packs are being sold more than the larger size packs of henna. The
packs sized between 70gm to 200gm are the most selling packs. So, emphasize should be
more on these smaller sized packs.
PRICE
Pricing:
The maximum selling brand of Henna is Godrej Nupur Henna which provides 13%
retailer margin. If the retailer margin of our product is made higher than 13%, they
retailers will push the product as they will be earning more profits.
PROMOTION
Display:
Not a single piece of any kind of display supporting materials for henna has been seen in
the market. It will effectively draw the attention of the customers if we approach with
attractive danglers, posters etc.
Regn. No. 200923015, Dept. of Mgt. Studies, SMIT
66 Cntd. to next page
PROMOTION [Cntd.]
Marketing communication:
Being a new launch, the main objectives should be inducing product trials free samples
distribution & secure distribution in the retail outlets.
Advertisement Media Planning:
68% users and 68% of the non users believe TV to be the credible source of information
about henna. So, television cable & satellite channels are probably the most effective
media to place an advertisement. The most viewed C&S channels are Star Ananda,
Sony, Star Jalsha, Colors, Zee cinema etc.
PLACE
It has been seen that 96% of the users of henna does apply it in home & only 4% peoples
are going to beauty parlor or salon to apply it. So, emphasis should be more on assuring
sufficient supply to various retail outlets rather than targeting beauty parlors as the
wholesale customers.
Among the peoples who buy henna for themselves, 78% buys from cosmetic
store, 20% buys from grocery & 2% buys from departmental stores. The off take is
maximum at the specialized cosmetic stores. For assuring positive inventory always in
these places, there must be healthy distribution channels taking care of the specialized
cosmetic stores of the major markets.
Regn. No. 200923015, Dept. of Mgt. Studies, SMIT
67 Cntd. to next page
4.2 Conclusions:
Henna is a commonly used hair care products in India. Now-a-days peoples
are becoming more concerned about their health. In that case, they are avoiding using
chemical cosmetic products. This can be a very wide growth area for the FMCGs.
After the study of henna markets for 10weeks I can say that there is a vast
need of henna among the users & non users too. The need gap among the consumers is
to have a natural conditioner which will not turn the hair dry. Although the peoples are
using different brands of henna regularly but the need gap is still not fulfilled. Hope this
would be the child of Emami who will come with an evolution.
Good luck for Emami Limited.
