Question arises how Ghari Detergent, a Kanpur based brand with low advertising and promotional activities managed to defeat brands such as Tide and Nirma. The answer lies in
1IJVT M B A

beautifully carfied strategy, but before that let's have a look on some industry statistics to gain a better understanding :

concentrated forces. Ghari also realized that it cannot beat Giants like HU and P&G due to their financial muscle. So it selected Uttar Pradesh, with a population of 167 million (highest in India) and accounts for over 12% of the country's FMCG sales. Ghari also implemented extensive dealer network throughout the state. Thus, of the 3,000 Ghari dealers in the country, 900 are in Uffar Pradesh

of them in Kanpur alone. Furthermore, nine of the

Ghari realized that the only differentiating factor it can offer is the value of money. To offer value for money Ghari management settles the net profit margin of 9% against the industry standard of 12 to 13% for the premium brands. What may work in Ghari's favour is the higher profit margin of 9% the company offers its dealers; rivals seldom offerbefferthan6%or7% 3. Be innovative in reaching the consumers: With only 35 crores of budget
allotted to Marketing and promotional activities. Ghari detergent goes to train. 4. The first campaign was the Ghari Detergent Express (a summer special) in 2008 that ran between Lucknow and Guwahati for two months 5. Taking the cue from there, Ghari has now advertised in Pushpak Express that runs between Lucknow and Mumbai. The brand can also be s o i i i l w a y crossings in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. Advertisements also being displtyed inside the bogies of Swarna Jayanti Express (from Trivandrum to Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi) last year that cuts across three or four states in south India :: In addition, Rohit Surfactants promotes Ghari at roadside shows, magic shows and exhibitions in smaller towns and cities. Customers are unlikely to see other brands at these places an innovative idea to break the clutter. The magic shows have given Ghari good visibility in cities like Jaipur, Indore, Kota, Alwar and Kanpur. About 30 company1IJVT M B A Prnurimmt flvnutrt 10 Piut

Case of Ghari detergent highlights that how a mediocre brand can compete successfully with big brands with a clear strategy and vision. But in the same time sacrificing your margin and competing on the basis of price alone are not the part of sustainable competitive advantage and journey ahead is not going to be a cakewalk for Ghari Detergent.

The term skills include those characteristics which people use to describe a company. Organizations have strengths in a number of areas but their key strengths and dominant skills are few. Employee's skill in an organization will be unique, this may be due to their experience in the place of work, and the similarity may also due to influence of the similar culture. However every person according to his traits possesses his own talents and spesial characters. This cannot be generalized skill among them. The employees of maharaja industries have different skill, which are relevant for their work. . :

INTRODUCTION:
Research can be defined as the search for knowledge, or as any systematic investigation, with an open mind, to establish novel facts, usually using a scientific method. The primary purpose for applied research (as opposed to basic research) is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world and the universe. Scientlljc research relies on the application of the scientific method, a harnessing of curiosity. This research provides scientific information and theories for the explanation of the nature and the properties of the world around us. It makes practical applications possible. Scientific research is funded by public authorities, by charitable organizations and by private groups, including many companies. Scientific research can be subdivided into different classifications according to their academic and application disciplines. Artistic research, also seen as 'practice-based research', can take form when creative works are considered both the research and the object of research itself. It is the debatable body of thought which offers an alternative to
purely scientific methods in research in its search for knowledge and truth. The phrase my research is also used loosely to describe a person's entire collection of information about a particular subject.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Generally, research is understood to follow a certain structural process. Though step order may vary depending on the subject matter and researcher, the following steps are usually part of most formal research, both basic and applied: 1. Observations and Formation of the topic 2. Hypothesis 3. Conceptual definitions 4. Operational definition

5. Gathering of data 6. Analysis of data 7. Test, revising of hypothesis 8. Conclusion, iteration if necessary A cormnon misunderstanding is that by this method a hypothesis could be proven or tested. Generally a hypothesis is used to make predictions that can be tested by observing the outcome of an experiment. If the outcome is inconsistent with the hypothesis, then the hypothesis is rejected. However, if the outcome is consistent with the hypothesis, the experiment is said to support the hypothesis. This careful language is used because researchers recognize that alternative hypotheses may also be consistent with the observations. In this sense, a hypothesis can never be proven, but rather only supported by surviving rounds of scientific testing and, eventually, becoming widely thought of as true. A useful hypothesis allows prediction and within the accuracy of observation of the time, the prediction will be verified. As the accuracy of observation improves with time, the hypothesis may no longer provide an accurate prediction. In this case a new hypothesis will arise to challenge the old, and to the extent new hypothesis makes more accurate than the old, the new will supplant it. Research methods The goal of the research process is to produce new knowledge. This process takes three main forms (although, previously discussed, the boundaries between them may be obscure.): Exploratory research, which structures and identifies new problems Constructive research, which develops solutions to a problem Empirical research, which tests the feasibility of a solution using empirical as that the
predictions

evidence Research can also fall into two distinct types: Primary research (collection of data that does not yet exist) Secondary research (summary, collation and/or synthesis of existing research)

Methodology is the systematic method or an activity which is used to collect the information required to complete this project work. The data is collected by 2 methods: 1. Primary data Primary research (also called field research) involves the collection of data that does not already exist, which is research to collect original data. Primary Research is often undertaken after the researcher has gained some insight into the issue b3 '.ollecting secondary data. This can be through numerous forms, including questionnaires, direct
observation telephone
and interviews
amongst others. This information may be collected in things like questionnaires and interviews. There are basic
approaches to data collections using primary methods: > Qualitative research includes interviews, focus groups and participant observations. > experiments, field work, questionnaires and surveys and ethnographies. > The term primary research is widely used in academic research, market research and competitive intelligence. Quantitative research includes controlled laboratory
Secondary research (also known as desk research) involves the summary, collation and/or
synthesis of existing research rather than primary research, where data is collected from,forexample, researchsubjectsorexperiments.--The term is widely used in market research and in research. The principal methodology in medical secondary research is the systematic review, commonly using meta-analytic statistical techniques, although other methods of synthesis, like realist reviews and metanarrative reviews, have been developed in recent years. Secondary research can come from either internal or external sources. The proliferation of web search engines has increased opportunities to conduct secondary research without

paying fees to database research providers. The only difference with it is that it won't be as accurate as primary research.
Primary data will be collected through Questionnaire method. A structured sequence of questions will be prepared and it will be used as a support to talk to the Consumers of Maharaja Industries, Davangere City to analyze the Brand Awareness towards Shashi Soaps. A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions nd other pro for the purpose of gathering information 1om ..tespondents. A l t h o i i h e y are often designed for statistical analysis of the responses, this is not always the case. The questionnaire was invented by Sir Francis G a n
"
Questionnaires have advantages over some other types of surveys in that they are cheap, do not require as much effort from the questioner as verbal or telephone surveys, and often have standardized answers that make it simple to compile data. However, such standardized answers may frustrate users. Questionnaires are also sharply limited by the fact that respondents must be able to read the questions and respond to them. Thus, for some demographic groups conducting a survey by questionnaire may not be practical.
Secondary data, which is secondary in nature i.e. already, c o l l e c d information. This secondary data will be collected through- . Books, Magazines, Company catalogues. .
Magazines and Journals like Week, Business world etc. :: : :

Internet sites like www.google.com, www.wikipedia.com,www.altavista.com, www.maharajaindustries.com, etc. Published articles like case studies in internet, Week, Business world, Indian Management etc.

SAMPLING DESIGN: Sampling design is the method in which the sample size is selected. This sample is based on Simple Random Sampling Method and this sample will be selected with the various Consumers of Maharaja Industries, Davangere City.
In statistics, a simple random sample is a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen from a larger set (a population). Each individual is chosen randomly and entirely by chance, such that each individual has the same probability of being chosen at any stage during the sampling process, and each subset of k individuals has the same probability of being chosen for the sample as any other subset of k individuals. This process and technique is known as simple random sampling, and should not be confused with Random Sampling.
It refers to the place where the study is being conducted. The study is being done in Maharaja Industries, Davangere City.
SAMPLE SIZE: The sample size of 50 representing the various Consumers of Maharaja Industries, Davangere City who has purchased various products of Shashi Detergents is taken for the survey with Questionnaire method. Because of lack of time this sample size is small and this is not
a perfect
representation of the whole group.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

1. The main objective of the research is to know the awareness level of Shashi products.
2. To understand the work structure in the organization. 3. To understand how each department will work in the organization.

4. To know how regularly the customers will purchase the products. 5. To know which brand they prefer the most. 6. To know how best our marketing campaigns are working.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This study is conducted for Consumers in Davangere city and the research of this kind helps to put the theoretical aspects into practice. Based on this research the future researcher can use this to further go deep in the exact nature of the ways in which various marketing strategies can be analyzed and studied to make the Consumers more productive and effective for the organization. Techniques of Consumers satisfaction can be studied; the influence and improvement of 'Customer Morale' and in relation to the Marketing strategies, Customer Relationship Management of the organization can be further probed into. An exclusive study of how Customer Satisfaction can increase the 'Customer Productivity', and 'Customer Effectiveness' can be researched. This project gives great exposure to the customer's satisfaction, affitude and perception to the marketing strategies adopted by the Maharaja Industries, Davangere City because it
includes the service offered by them. The study also identifies the affitudes and preference of the consumers. The study also focused on Media through which the product reaches the
consumers and this project helps in knowing the market practically.
As the project involves the marketing research using questionnaire views expressed by the r e s e n t s are confined to the elements of the questionnaire. But I tried my best to get the clear picture of the situation.
Between the sender and the receiver due to differing perceptions, communication errors in the form of miscomprehension and selective perception may creep in. In this case too, these are unavoidable, and thus may add to slight inaccuracy in my results.
Some of the dealers were very apprehensive about responding. "Some dealers were extremely unhappy with the company support. I found so many scheme difference from place to place. In some instances some respondents may not reveal the truth. The sample size chosen is small keeping in consideration many factors.
