Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)
FMCG are products that have a quick shelf turnover, at relatively low cost and don't require a lot of thought, time and financial investment to purchase. The margin of profit on every individual FMCG product is less. However the huge
number of goods sold is what makes the difference. Hence profit in FMCG good always translates to number of goods sold. Fast Moving Consumer Goods is a classification that refers to a wide range of
frequently purchased consumer products including: toiletries, soaps, cosmetics
teeth cleaning products, shaving products, detergents, other non-durables such as glassware, bulbs, batteries, paper products and plastic goods, such as buckets.
\u2018Fast Moving\u2019 is in opposition to consumer durables such as kitchen that are generally replaced less than once a year. The category may include
pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics and packaged food products and drinks although these are often categorized separately. The term Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) is used interchangeably with Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG).
Three of the largest and best known examples of Fast Moving Consumer Goods
companies are Nestl\u00e9, Unilever and Procter & Gamble. Examples of FMC soft drinks, tissue paper, and chocolate bars. Examples of FMCG brands are Coca-Cola, Kleenex, Pepsi and Believe.
The FMCG sector represents consumer goods required for daily or frequent use
The main segments of this sector are personal care (oral care, hair care, soaps, cosmetics, toiletries), household care (fabric wash and household cleaners), branded and packaged food, beverages (health beverages, soft drinks, staples, cereals, dairy products, chocolates, bakery products) and tobacco.
The Indian FMCG sector is an important contributor to the country's GDP. It is
fourth largest sector in the economy and is responsible for 5% of the total facto employment in India. The industry also creates employment for 3 m people in
downstream activities, much of which is disbursed in small towns and rural Ind
This industry has witnessed strong growth in the past decade. This has been du to liberalization, urbanization, increase in the disposable incomes and altered
lifestyle. Furthermore, the boom has also been fuelled by the reduction in excis duties, de-reservation from the small-scale sector and the concerted efforts of personal care companies to attract the burgeoning affluent segment in the middle-class through product and packaging innovations.
Unlike the perception that the FMCG sector is a producer of luxury items targe at the elite, in reality, the sector meets the every day needs of the masses. The lower-middle income group accounts for over 60% of the sector's sales. Rural markets account for 56% of the total domestic FMCG demand. Many of the global FMCG majors have been present in the country for many decades. But in the last ten years, many of the smaller rung Indian FMCG companies have gained in scale. As a result, the unorganized and regional players have witnessed erosion in market share. History of FMCG in India
In India, companies like ITC, HLL, Colgate, Cadbury and Nestle have been a dominant force in the FMCG sector well supported by relatively less competition and high entry barriers (import duty was high). These companies
were, therefore, able to charge a premium for their products. In this context, th margins were also on the higher side. With the gradual opening up of the
economy over the last decade, FMCG companies have been forced to fight for a market share. In the process, margins have been compromised, more so in the last six years (FMCG sector witnessed decline in demand).
Current Scenario
The growth potential for FMCG companies looks promising over the long-
term horizon, as the per-capita consumption of almost all products in the countr is amongst the lowest in the world. As per the Consumer Survey by KSATechnopak, of the total consumption expenditure, almost 40% and 8% was accounted by groceries and personal care products respectively. Rapid
urbanization, increased literacy and rising per capita income are the key growth
drivers for the sector. Around 45% of the population in India is below 20 years o age and the proportion of the young population is expected to increase in the
next five years. Aspiration levels in this age group have been fuelled by greater media exposure, unleashing a latent demand with more money and a new mindset. In this backdrop, industry estimates suggest that the industry could triple in value by 2015 (by some estimates, the industry could double in size by 2010). In our view, testing times for the FMCG sector are over and driving rural
penetration will be the key going forward. Due to infrastructure constraints (thi
influences the cost-effectiveness of the supply chain), companies were unable to grow faster. Although companies like HLL and ITC have dedicated initiatives targeted at the rural market, these are still at a relatively nascent stage.
The bottlenecks of the conventional distribution system are likely to be removed once organized retailing gains in scale. Currently, organized retailing accounts
just 3% of total retail sales and is likely to touch 10% over the next 3-5 years. In our view, organized retailing results in discounted prices, forced-buying by
offering many choices and also opens up new avenues for growth for the FMCG sector. Given the aggressive expansion plans of players like Pantaloon, Trent,
Shopper\u2019s Stop and Shoprite, we are confident that the FMCG sector has bright future. Budget Measures to Promote FMCG Sector
2% education cess corporation tax, excise duties and custom duties
Concessional rate of 5% custom duty on tea and coffee plantation machinery
Budget Impact
The education cess will add marginally to the tax burden of all FMCG companies The dividend distribution tax on debt funds is likely to adversely effect the other income components of companies like Britannia, Nestle and HLL The measure to abolish excise duty on dairy machinery is a positive for companies like Nestle Concessional rate for tea and coffee plantation machinery is a positive for Tata Tea, HLL, Tata Coffee and other such companies Duty reduction in food grade hexane will have a marginally positive impact on companies like Marico and HLL Area specific excise exemptions for North East, J&K, Himachal Pradesh will continue to encourage FMCG companies to relocate to these areas.

are middle class consumers. India offers a vibrant market of youth and vigor wi 54% of population below the age of 25 years. These young people work harder, earn more, spend more and demand more from the market, making India a dynamic and aspirational society. Domestic demand is expected to double over the ten-year period from 1998 to 2007. The number of households with "high income" is expected to increase by 60% in the next four years to 44 million households. India is rated as the fifth most attractive emerging retail market. It has been ranked second in a Global Retail Development Index of 30 developing
countries drawn up by A T Kearney. A.T. Kearney has estimated India's total reta
market at $202.6 billion, is expected to grow at a compounded 30 per cent over the next five years. The share of modern retail is likely to grow from its current per cent to 15-20 percent over the next decade, analysts feel. The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy with a total market size in excess of US$ 13.1 billion. The FMCG market is set to
treble from US$ 11.6 billion in 2003 to US$ 33.4 billion in 2015. Penetration lev 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 mar 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. India is one of the world’s largest producers for a number of FMCG
products but its FMCG exports are languishing at around Rs 1,000 crore only
There is significant potential for increasing exports but there are certain factor
inhibiting this. Small-scale sector reservations limit ability to invest in technolo
and quality up gradation to achieve economies of scale. Moreover, lower volum
of higher value added products reduce scope for export to developing countrie The FMCG sector has traditionally grown at a very fast rate and has
generally out performed the rest of the industry. Over the last one year, howeve the rate of growth has slowed down and the sector has recorded sales growth just five per cent in the last four quarters. The outlook in the short term does not appear to be very positive for the sector. Rural demand is on the decline and the Centre for Monitoring Indian
Economy (CMIE) has already downscaled its projection for agriculture growth i
the current fiscal. Poor monsoon in some states, too, is unlikely to help matters
Moreover, the general slowdown in the economy is also likely to have an advers impact on disposable income and purchasing power as a whole. The growth of
imports constitutes another problem area and while so far imports in this secto have been confined to the premium segment, FMCG companies estimate they have already cornered a four to six per cent market share. The high burden of local taxes is another reason attributed for the slowdown in the industry
At the same time, the long term outlook for revenue growth is positive. Give the
large market and the requirement for continuous repurchase of these products
FMCG companies should continue to do well in the long run. Moreover, most of the companies are concentrating on cost reduction and supply chain management. This should yield positive results for them. The profile of major leading FMCG Market Players is as follows:

NESTLE INDIA
Nestlé India is a subsidiary of Nestlé S.A. of Switzerland. With six factories and large number of co-packers, Nestlé India is a vibrant Company that provides consumers in India with products of global standards and is committed to longterm sustainable growth and shareholder satisfaction.
The Company insists on honesty, integrity and fairness in all aspects of its business and expects the same in its relationships. This has earned it the trust and respect of every strata of society that it comes in contact with and is acknowledged amongst India's 'Most Respected Companies' and amongst the 'Top Wealth Creators of India'. Nestlé’s relationship with India dates back to 1912, when it began trading as Th Nestlé Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company (Export) Limited, importing and selling finished products in the Indian market. Brief History
After India’s independence in 1947, the economic policies of the Indian Government emphazised the need for local production. Nestlé responded to India’s aspirations by forming a company in India and set up its first factory in 1961 at Moga, Punjab, where the Government wanted Nestlé to develop the mil economy. Progress in Moga required the introduction of Nestlé’s Agricultural Services to educate, advise and help the farmer in a variety of aspects. From increasing the milk yield of their cows through improved dairy farming method to irrigation, scientific crop management practices and helping with the procurement of bank loans. Nestlé set up milk collection centres that would not only ensure prompt collection and pay fair prices, but also instil amongst the community, a confidence in the dairy business. Progress involved the creation o prosperity on an on-going and sustainable basis that has resulted in not just the transformation of Moga into a prosperous and vibrant milk district today, but a thriving hub of industrial activity, as well. For more on Nestlé A gricultural Services, Nestlé has been a partner in India's growth for over nine decades now and has built a very special relationship of trust and commitment with the people of Ind The Company's activities in India have facilitated direct and indirect employmen and provides livelihood to about one million people including farmers, suppliers packaging materials, services and other goods.
The Company continuously focuses its efforts to better understand the changing lifestyles of India and anticipate consumer needs in order to provide Taste, Nutrition, Health and Wellness through its product offerings. The culture of innovation and renovation within the Company and access to the Nestlé Group's
proprietary technology/Brands expertise and the extensive centralized Research and Development facilities gives it a distinct advantage in these efforts. It helps the Company to create value that can be sustained over the long term by offering consumers a wide variety of high quality, safe food products at affordable prices.
Nestlé India is a responsible organization and facilitates initiatives that help to improve the quality of life in the communities where it operates. Beginning with first investment in Moga in 1961, Nestlé’s regular and substantial investments established that it was here to stay. In 1967, Nestlé set up its next factory at Choladi (Tamil Nadu) as a pilot plant to process the tea grown in the area into soluble tea. The Nanjangud factory (Karnataka), became operational in 1989, th Samalkha factory (Haryana), in 1993 and in 1995 and 1997, Nestlé commissioned two factories in Goa at Ponda and Bicholim respectively. Nestlé India is now putting up the 7th factory at Pant Nagar in Uttaranchal Products Product Category

The Global arm of Hindustan Levers Limited is Unilever's and its mission is to add Vitality to life. Their products meet everyday needs for nutrition, hygiene, a personal care with brands that help people feel good, look good and get more o of life.
HLL has deep roots in local cultures and markets around the world which gives them a strong relationship with their consumers, which are the foundation for their future growth. They benefit from there wealth of knowledge and internati expertise to the service the local consumers - a truly multi-local multinational. Brief History
In the summer of 1888, visitors to the Kolkata harbour noticed crates full of Sunlight soap bars, embossed with the words "Made in England by Lever Brothers". With it, began an era of marketing branded Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). In 1931, Unilever set up its first Indian subsidiary, Hindustan Vanaspati Manufacturing Company, followed by Lever Brothers India Limited (1933) and United Traders Limited (1935). These three companies merged to form HLL in November 1956; HLL offered 10% of its equity to the Indian public being the first among the foreign subsidiaries to do so. Unilever now holds 51.55% equity in the company. The rest of the shareholding is distributed amon about 380,000 individual shareholders and financial institutions. Pond's (India) Limited had been present in India since 1947. It joined the Unilever fold throug an international acquisition of Chesebrough Pond's USA in 1986.
The liberalization of the Indian economy, started in 1991, clearly marked an inflexion in HLL's and the Group's growth curve. Removal of the regulatory framework allowed the company to explore every single product and opportunit segment, without any constraints on production capacity.
Simultaneously, deregulation permitted alliances, acquisitions and mergers. In one of the most visible and talked about events of India's corporate history, the erstwhile Tata Oil Mills Company (TOMCO) merged with HLL, effective from A 1, 1993. In 1995, HLL and yet another Tata company, Lakme Limited, formed a 50:50 joint venture, Lakme Lever Limited, to market Lakme's market-leading cosmetics and other appropriate products of both the companies. Subsequently in 1998, Lakme Limited sold its brands to HLL and divested its 50% stake in the joint venture to the company.
HLL formed a 50:50 joint venture with the US-based Kimberly Clark Corporatio in 1994, which markets Huggies Diapers and Kotex Sanitary Pads. HLL has also
set up a subsidiary in Nepal, Nepal Lever Limited (NLL), and its factory represents the largest manufacturing investment in the Himalayan kingdom. Th NLL factory manufactures HLL's products like Soaps, Detergents and Personal Products both for the domestic market and exports to India.
The 1990s also witnessed a string of crucial mergers, acquisitions and alliances on the Foods and Beverages front. In 1992, the erstwhile Brooke Bond acquired Kothari General Foods, with significant interests in Instant Coffee. In 1993, it acquired the Kissan business from the UB Group and the Dollops Icecream business from Cadbury India. As a measure of backward integration, Tea Estates and Doom Dooma, two plantation companies of Unilever, were merged with Brooke Bond. Then in July 1993, Brooke Bond India and Lipton India merged to form Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited (BBLIL), enabling greater focus and ensuring synergy in the traditional Beverages business. 1994 witnessed BBLIL launching the Wall's range of Frozen Desserts. By the end of the year, the company entered into a strategic alliance with the Kwality Icecream Group families and in 1995 the Milkfood 100% Icecream marketing and distribution rights too were acquired.
In January 2000, in a historic step, the government decided to award 74 per cen equity in Modern Foods to HLL, thereby beginning the divestment of governme equity in public sector undertakings (PSU) to private sector partners. HLL's en into Bread is a strategic extension of the company's wheat business. In 2002, HLL acquired the government's remaining stake in Modern Foods. In 2003, HLL acquired the Cooked Shrimp and Pasteurised Crabmeat business of the Amalgam Group of Companies, a leader in value added Marine Products exports. Present Stature

Financial review Operating profit and earnings per share
Operating profit of £1,911 million grew by 13%, which was above the turnover growth of 9%, reflecting an improved cost of sales margin and higher other operating income partly offset by increased R&D expenditure. SG&A grew 8%. Excluding costs for legal matters, SG&A grew by 2%, well below turnover growth. In the quarter, gains from asset disposals were £91 million (£10 million in 2005), costs for legal matters were £123 million (£33 million in 2005), the fair value movements on the Quest collar and Theravance options were unfavorable £69 million (£9 million unfavorable in 2005) and net income related to restructuring programmes was £4 million (£24 million charge in 2005). The total operating profit impact of these items was a £97 million charge in 2006, compared with a £56 million charge in 2005, resulting in a 2 percentage point reduction in operating profit growth for the quarter. Profit after taxation grew by 14% which was marginally higher than the growth in operating profit and reflected lower net interest costs, partially offset by a higher expected tax rate for the year.EPS of 23.3 pence increased 15% in CER terms (14% in sterling terms) compared with Q2 2005. The adverse currency impact of 1% on EPS reflected exchange losses on settlement of foreign currency balances in the quarter partly offset by a stronger dollar.

BRITANIA
The story of one of India's favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale. Once upon a time, in 1892 to be precise, a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs. 295. Britannia The company we all know as today.
The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but. By 1910, with the advent of electricity, Britannia mechanized its operations, and in 1921, it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens. Britannia's business was flourishing. But, more importantly, Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value. As a result, during the tragic World War II, the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of "service biscuits" to the armed forces.
As time moved on, the biscuit market continued to grow and Britannia grew along with it. In 1975, the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parry's who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India. In the subsequent public issue of 1978, Indian shareholding crossed 60%, firmly establishing the Indianness of the firm. The following year, Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL). Four years later in 1983, it crossed the Rs. 100 crores revenue mark. On the operations front, the company was making equally dynamic strides. In 1992, it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee. The Wadia Group acquired a stake in the company and became an equal partner with Groupe Danone in Britannia. The subsequent year saw sales cross landmark 100,000 tones of biscuits or 1 billion of 100g. packs
Britannia strode into the 21st Century as one of India's biggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country. It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing: the Lagaan Match was voted India's most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious B ritannia 5050 Maska-Chaska became India's most successful product launch. In 2002, Britannia's New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra, the world's second largest Dairy Company, and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt. Ltd. was born. In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph, Forbes Global rated Britannia 'One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World', and The Economic Times pegged Britannia India's 2nd Most Trusted Brand.
Today, more than a century after those tentative first steps, B ritannia's fairy tale is not only going strong but blazing new standards, and that miniscule initial investment has grown by leaps and bounds to crores of rupees in wealth for Britannia's shareholders. The company's offerings are spread across the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biscuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese. Having succeeded in garnering the trust of almost one-third of India's one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality. And millions of consumers will savour the results, happily ever after. 1975• Britannia Biscuit Company takes over biscuit distribution

Tiger has grown from strength to strength and the re-invigoration. Britannia Good Day was launched in 1986 in two delectable avatars Good Day Cashew and Butter. Over the years, new variants were introduced - Good Day Pista Badam in 1989, Good Day Chocochips in 2000 and Good Day Choconut in 2004. Britannia 50-50 is the leader in its category with more than one-third of market share. The versatile and youthful brand constantly aims to provide a novel and exciting taste experience to the consumer. Britannia's oldest brand enjoys a heritage that spans the last 50 years and going strong., Britannia Marie Gold has maintained its stronghold. It is the #1 brand in its category by a long shot In 1996, Milk Bikis launched a variant called Milk Cream. These round biscuits come with smiley faces and are full of milk cream that makes them very popular with children. To offer something to consumers who cherish healthy living, Britannia introduced Nutri-Choice biscuits. In 1998, Nutri-Choice Thin Arrowroot was morphed from Jacob's Thin Arrowroot (a popular brand in East India). Before Timepass, Britannia's offering in the salted cracker category was Snax. Launched in 1999, Snax was promoted as a tastier base for toppings through edgy advertising. Little Hearts was launched in 1993 and targeted the growing youth segment. A completely unique product, it was the first time biscuits were retailed in pouch packs like potato wafers. Britannia Nice Time was the pioneer of sugar sprinkled biscuits in India. This unique product managed to create such a strong consumer pull that soon there was a rush of pretender products in the market, clearly indicative of the success of the concept. Till 1958, there were no breads in the organised sector and bread consumption was a habit typified by the British. Then, a mechanised bread unit was set up in Delhi with the name "Delbis" which produced sliced
bread and packed it under the Britannia name. Thus, Britannia was not only the pioneer, but also inculcated in the people of Delhi the habit of eating white sliced bread. The Mumbai unit came up in 1963, and there again Britannia was the first branded bread in the city. Financial Performance

Godfrey Phillips is today the second largest player in the Indian cigarette indust with an annual turnover of over US$ 265 million.
Incorporated in India in 1936, the Company established its own manufacturing facilities in 1944. Today, the operations span the entire northern and western pa of the country, with two manufacturing facilities located in Ghaziabad (near Del and in Andheri (Mumbai), a state of the art R&D centre in Mumbai and a tobacc
buying unit in Guntur (Andhra Pradesh). Headquartered in Delhi, the Company has its sales offices across the country at Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh and Hyderabad. The Company today is the proud owner of some of the most popular cigarette brands in the country like Red and White, Four Square, Jaisalmer, Cavanders, Tipper and Prince. Its products are distributed through an extensive India wide network comprising 484 exclusive distributors and over 800,000 retail outlets.
Over the years, Godfrey Phillips has emerged as a professionally managed, highly efficient corporate entity. Today, the Company has one of the highest productivity rates of workers in the entire country and an enviable organisation structure. Over the years the Company has also become an active player in overseas markets, with significant export volumes.
Godfrey Phillips has two major stakeholders, one of India's leading industrial houses - the K.K. Modi Group and one of the World's largest tobacco companies Philip Morris. Godfrey Phillips has the strong backing of over 15,000 shareholders in the Country and is today, through the sheer determination & passion of every employee of the organization, growing from strength to streng
From its modest beginning in London way back in 1844, Godfrey Phillips, a maj player in the Indian tobacco industry, has come a long way. The history of the Company reflects the strong determination and passion amongst the founders & the employees of the Company to establish itself as a leader of the tobacco industry in the Country.
Mr. Godfrey Phillips, founder of Godfrey Phillips & Sons commenced business in the Barbican (London), as a Cigar manufacturer in 1844. From the Barbican he moved to Primrose Street and after that to Commercial Street London. B.D.V, packet tobacco with which the name of Godfrey Phillips was intricately connected, is practically contemporary with Mr. Phillips embarkation in tobacco cutting in the year 1887.
At that time packet tobaccos were in their infancy. After B.D.V. came "Marigold" and Guinea Gold. Mr. Phillips, a splendid judge of tobacco himself, looked for appreciation of quality in his customers and stuck to his belief that quality will ultimately determine success, something that is still the strongest belief in the Company. Messrs Godfrey Phillips, D.H. Wilmer and H.C. Water incorporated GODFREY PHILLIPS INDIA as a Private Ltd. Co. on 3rd December 1936. The Company imported cigarettes from Godfrey Phillips Ltd. U.K. In the year 1942, plans for setting up a manufacturing facility in Calcutta were made, however it got shelved due to World War II. In 1944, after the war, GODFREY PHILLIPS bought Master Tobacco Co., Chakala, Andheri (Mumbai)
thereby establishing its first factory in the Country. In October 1946, GODFREY PHILLIPS became a Public Ltd. Co. with its manufacturing operations in Mumb
GODFREY PHILLIPS was then primarily a manufacturing company and made cigarette brands like Cavanders, Abdulla No. 7, DERESKE, Marcovich, Red & White. In 1951/52 Godfrey Phillips UK bought out George Dobie & Son's, famou Four Square brand.
In 1967, D. Macropolo & Co., which was the sole selling agent for GODFREY PHILLIPS, opened a subsidiary company called "International Tobacco Co.", wit its manufacturing facility in Ghaziabad (near Delhi) to manufacture cigarettes f GODFREY PHILLIPS.
In 1967-68, Philip Morris acquired substantial holding in Godfrey Phillips Ltd., U.K. and Godfrey Phillips Investment Corporation which was holding substantia shares of Godfrey Phillips India Ltd. It also acquired a large share holding interest in George Dobie & Sons. Thus in 1968, Godfrey Phillips Ltd., U.K., George Dobie & Sons, and GODFREY PHILLIPS became affiliates of Philip Morris.
Philip Morris is a large professionally managed multinational with diversified business interests. It has a wide range of tobacco and other products, with "Marlboro" being its leading brand in the world. It took major initiatives in 1968 GODFREY PHILLIPS to re-organise its operations. A major thrust was given to marketing & sales and it was decided to merge D. Marcopolo & Co. with Godfre Phillips, a process, which began in 1969. The merger was finally completed on 31st December 1975, bringing the four sales branches and "International Tobacco Co." under its fold.
In 1973 GODFREY PHILLIPS, successfully launched Four Square Kings, India 's first King Size filter cigarette. It was the sheer passion to be close to the consumer that helped the Company recognize the demands of the emerging consumer long before anyone in the cigarette industry. In 1979, Philip Morris. joined hands with the K.K. Modi Group and in the following year the Modi Enterprises took over the management of GODFREY PHILLIPS with a substantial financial stake. Modi enterprise was new to the cigarette business, but an area in which they saw a huge potential for growth. They took on this new challenge with a lot of passion, vigour and confidence.
The business was given a fresh look in all its areas of operation. P rofessional managers were inducted to head the various functions to bring about change an vigor in the organization to meet the challenges of the eighties. The existing brand franchises were rejuvenated, each brand was modernized with the prime objective of growing their brand equity. Modernization of the factories was initiated; product development and research activities were stepped up.
Aggressive marketing and sales strategies were drawn up and implemented and each employee was empowered to bring about the desired change. Everything was restarted with renewed passion and determination.
Godfrey Phillips is best known by the brands it manufactures and today the Company is the proud owner of some of the best FMCG brands of the country. A least 3 of our cigarette brands today feature in the top 50 FMCG list. They are: Four Square Special, Red & White and Cavanders. Apart from these champions, the Company also has other cigarette brands that cater to a large and varied range of consumer segments.
The year 2002 also saw the Company re-launch some of its brands, by giving them an entirely new look & positioning, while some new, innovative products were also introduced. These brands are already making their presence felt in th industry. They are: Jaisalmer (re-launched in 2003), Tipper & Piper (new innovative products introduced in 2002) and Prince (another re-launch for the year 2002). Prepared with utmost dedication and passion, to deliver the customer with the most satisfying smoke, each cigarette going out into the market bears the Godfrey Phillips stamp of quality and assurance.

NIRMA
Nirma is one of the few names - which is instantly recognized as a true Indian brand, which took on mighty multinationals and rewrote the marketing rules to win the heart of princess, i.e. the consumer.
Nirma, the proverbial ‘Rags to Riches’ saga of Dr. Karsanbhai Patel, is a classic example of the success of Indian entrepreneurship in the face of stiff competitio Starting as a one-man operation in 1969, today, it has about 14, 000 employeebase and annual turnover is above Rs. 25, 00 crores.
India is a one of the largest consumer economy, with burgeoning middle class pie. In such a widespread, diverse marketplace, Nirma aptly concentrated all its efforts towards creating and building a strong consumer preference towards its ‘value-for-money’ products.
It was way back in ‘60s and ‘70s, where the domestic detergent market had onl premium segment, with very few players and was dominated by MNCs. It was 1969, when Karsanbhai Patel started door-to-door selling of his detergent powder, priced at an astonishing Rs. 3 per kg, when the available cheapest brand in the marke was Rs. 13 per kg. It was really an innovative, quality product – with indigenous process, packaging and low-profiled marketing, which changed the habit of Indian housewives’ for washing their clothes. In a short span, Nirma created an entirely new market segment in domestic marketplace, which is, eventually the largest consumer pocket and quickly emerged as dominating market player – a position it has never sinc relinquished. Rewriting the marketing rules, Nirma became a one of the widely discussed success stories between the four-walls of the B -school classrooms across the world.
The performance of Nirma during the decade of 1980s has been labeled as ‘Marketing Miracle’ of an era. During this period, the brand surged well ahead nearest rival – Surf, which was well-established detergent product by Hindustan Lever. It was a severing battering for MNC as it recorded a sharp drop in its market share. Nirma literally captured the market share by offering value-base marketing mix of four P’s, i.e. a perfect match of product, price, place and promotion.
Now, the year 2004 sees Nirma’s annual sales touch 800,000 tones, making it one of the largest volume sales with a single brand name in the world. Looking at the FMCG synergies, Nirma stepped into toilet soaps relatively late in 1990 but this did not deter it to achieve a volume of 100,000 per annum. This makes Nirma th largest detergent and the second largest toilet soap brand in India with market share of 38% and 20% respectively. It has been persistent effort of Nirma to make consumer products available to masses at an affordable price. Hence, it takes utmost care to provide finest products at the most affordable prices. To leverage this effort, Nirma has gone massive backward
integration along with expansion and modernization of the manufacturing facilities. The focal objective behind modernization plan is of up gradation with resourcesavvy technology to optimize capabilities. Nirma’s six production facilities, located at different places, are well equipped with state-of-art technologies. To ensure regular supply of major raw materials, Nirma had opted for backward integration strategies. These strategic moves allowed Nirma to manage effectiv and efficient supply-chain.
Nirma has always been practiced ‘value-for-money’ plank. Nirma plans to exten the same philosophy in categories as commodity food products, personal care products and packaged food. Distinct market vision and robust infrastructure allowed Nirma to have cost leadership. Apart from this, lean distribution netwo umbrella branding and low profile media promotions allowed it to offer quality products, at affordable prices.
In present scenario, an inspiring 59-year-old persona, Dr. Karsanbhai K. Patel, leads Nirma, playing role of key strategic decision-maker, whereas his next generation has already skilled management capabilities. Shri Rakesh K Patel – qualified management graduate, is spearheading the procurement, production and logistic functions, whereas Shri Hiren K Patel – a qualified Chemical engineer and management graduate, heads the marketing and finance function of the organization. Shri Kalpesh Patel, Executive Director, leads the profession organizational structure.
