History
Binani Industries Limited (BIL) is all set for growth. From the time of its inception, BIL has been
an ambitious organisation and this attribute has helped it grow at a fast pace.
The BrajBinani Group traces its beginning to 1872, when Seth PragdasBinani, a trader in metal
utensils, began an enterprise with his son Seth Mathuradas to engage in the import and expor
of metals. The enterprise continued to grow from strength to strength. The year 1941 marke
an important phase in the evolution when Seth Mathuradas' son Seth Govardhandas made a
bold, but significant, move from trading to manufacturing.
Binani Metal Works got rolling with a plant at Howrah. Taking on the mantle from his father, it
was during the reign of son GhanshyamBinani, that Binani Zinc was born. Leading from the
front, the Company shifted its focus towards R&D thus modernising and expanding its capacity.
But it was with the advent of Mr.BrajBinani and his dynamic leadership that the Company truly
began to prosper and exploring uncharted horizons.
Following the restructuring of the BrajBinani Group, from 1996-2004,Binani Industries Limited
(BIL) was founded to serve as the holding Company for Binani Cement Limited, Binani Zin
Limited, Goa Glass Fibre Limited & BT Composites Limited. Today, the BrajBinani Group is a
multidimensional business conglomerate, with an asset value of Rs. 1968 crores, a turnover o
Rs. 2302 crores and a 1750-strong work force. And with a clear focus to adapt and execute the
best, the BrajBinani Group has not only attained major internationally accepted certifications
for its various ventures, but also has extended its reach well beyond Indian borders - to UAE,
China and is in the process of expanding into Africa and other countries.
BIL owes most of its success to its simple yet potent philosophy - honesty, transparency,
efficiency and its unflinching commitment to the customers, coupled with an inherent
determination to succeed. It is this vision that has dissolved all boundaries and has set BIL on
the never-ending path of growth and evolution

Product Promotional Measures
Binani is onesuch player who has taken up branding in a seriousmanner. Thebrand is relying on thecelebritypower to build itsequity.Binani Cement used
thecricketing master Sunil Gavaskar to promote its brand during the launch
phase in 1997. After a long period ofsilence, the b rand began to invest heavily
in brand promotion from2007.
The brand chose theever green Amitabh Bachchan as the brand ambassador in
2007. There was lot of buzz during the time big B waschosen to endorse a
cement brand.
Binani Cement started using Big B in the television commercials in a dignifi ed
manner. This is one of those brands that tried to make use ofBachchan's
charisma to the brand's advantage. The ads were laden with subtle humor and
according to the reports, Binani cement'ssalessurged during thesecampaigns.
The brand did a smart move by taking advantage of the fact that both the
brand and the brand ambassador namestarts with B. Thecement brand began
to call itselfBig B.While the brand gains by the association, there weremanycritics who argued that now Big B will be associated with cement rather than
celebrity.
Binani cement has the tagline " Sadiyon Ke liye" which means " for centuries ".
Although the ads featuring Bachchan was well made, I felt that it lacked a
punch. The brand lacked a powerful message.

Binani cement uses 360 degree appraisal system
The highlights of this type ofsystem are:
360 degree feedback is the most comprehensive and costly type of
appraisal. It includes self ratings, peer review, and upward assessments;feedback is sought from everyone. It gives people a chance to know howthey are seen by others; to see their skills and style; and may improvecommunications between people.
360 degree feedback helps by bringing out every aspect of an employee'slife. Cooperation with people outside their department, helpfulness towardscustomers and vendors, etc. may not be rewarded by other types ofappraisal. This system also helps those who have conflicts with theirmanager.
360 degree feedback generally has high employee involvement andcredibility; may have the strongest impact on behaviour and performance;and may greatly increase communication and shared goals. It providespeople with a good all-around perspective.
