PREFACE
Project is an integral part of the MBA degree curriculum and the students of management
have to go under a training session in a business organization for eight weeks to gain
some valuable practical knowledge in their areas of specialization to gain some working
experience and to have better interaction between industry and academics. The summer
training provides a student an opportunity to think, analyze and understand the real life
working environment which is a little bit different to normal theory classes.
Practical handling of problem gives perfection of knowledge. Our acquaintance with
principle of management can be accomplished only when we bring them in practice.
Learning is a continuous process. In other words, our plan of work should be definite and
goal-oriented. With this view in mind I decided to go for practical training in a concern of
repute like PepsiCo. Working with PepsiCo was a matter of pride for me. During the
project study in PepsiCo, I gained in terms of experience and knowledge. After
accomplishment of project I am sure that awareness and efficiency has gained
momentum.
Summer Training is a part of MBAProgramme. We student of MBA course are
required to undergo summer Training in any organization to gain some experience.
The project report titledSALES AND DISTRIBUTION; COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
BETWEEN PEPSI AND COCA COLA PRODUCT OFFERS with special reference to
ALLAHABAD has been prepared after successful completion of project training with
PEPSICO COMPANY, in ALLAHABAD. Though I have tried to do it honestly and
sincerely and any weakness and shortcoming is unintentional.

SOFT DRINK
A soft drinks is a non-alcoholic beverages. It is artificially flavored and contains no
fruit juice or pulp. India with population of more than 100 crore is one of the largest
consumer markets in the world after China. Soft drinks is a typical consumer product
purchased by individuals to quench thirst and secondly for refreshment.
Searching for the point of origin of Indian soft drinks I first document on Gold
Spot, which was the first brand soft drinks in India? It was introduced by PARLE
during later part of 40s. Cola giant, Coca-Cola was the first foreign soft drink to be
introduced in India in 1965, Coca Cola made a very good beginning and dominated the
whole scheme right from the world go. It (Coca-Cola) faced no competition at that
time.
This extraordinary success of soft drinks can be attributed to the following
factors:
(a) Absence of contemporary competitive brand.
(b) Euphoric image build up in the Western countries preceded the entry into
India Market
(c) Indians are very found by nature of foreign goods, services etc.due to
prolonged foreign rules.
PARLE EXPORTS PVT.LTD.Later in 1970 introduced Limca, Lemony Soft
drinks. BeforeLimcaintroduced they had tentatively introduced Cola, Pepino,

which they had to withdraw in the face of battering confrontation with Coca-
Cola soon.
Three of four groups of Indian companies, which had the required
productioncapacity, started their own brands of Cola. Lemon, Orange, but failed
to achieve their goal on a national basis.
The existence of Coca-Cola from India in 1977 accelerated the growth of
several Indian soft drinks. New soft drink in the form of Tetra pack enters the market
among Frooti, Jump-In, and Tree-top Ire the prominent once. Till 1977 their equipped
bottling plants and the distribution network a longing to be of no use. It took them one
year to develop new formula to survive and gradually came up with Campa,Lemon,
Orange and Cola that order.
However Parle, the pioneer in the soft drinks, blazed its way to national
prominence with their product Thumps-Up, bearing the slogan Happy Days
arehereagain. This particular slogan helped to win over the loyalists or addicts to
Coca-Cola. Soon the Indian Soft drinks industries started at a phenomenal rate, and all
Parle products Gold-Spot, Limca and Thumps-Up became the brand leader in their own
segment.
In spite of all these the drinks market still has large gap, as claim by soft
drink manufacturers. To fill these gaps there are many soft drinks concentrate and
squashes flooded the market. The Indian soft market basically offered three flavors i.e.
Orange, Lemon, and Cola.

The year 1988 was the coming of the multinational company, PEPSI entering the Indian
market eleven years after the existence of Coca-Cola. It had name, fame and edge of
being one of the best in the game and it also offered stiff competition to Parle and
Coke. Now Pepsi is going all out to prove that they are the best

When Coca Cola changed its formula in 1985, Pepsi Stepped up its competition
with its long time archrival claiming victory in the Cola-wars. Coke and Pepsi expended
their rivalry to tea in 1991 when Pepsi formed a venture with No.1 Lipton in response to
Cokes announced venture with Nestle (Nestea).
Pepsi Co is going blue. This was the new color adopted by the company to
strengthen its brand globally. Also the company is changed colors from Generation X to
GENERATION NEXT.
Although Pepsi holdings over the years have become diverse in such fields as the
Snacks industry and Restaurants industry, this portfolio will discuss its core business and
its highly successful business of Beverages. The soft drink industry customer base is
probably the widest and deepest base in a world that is flooded with some many
categories. According to Beverage Digest the customer base for soft drinks is a whopping
95% of regular users in the United States. This represents a large field of potential
customers for Pepsi Cola.
Pepsi prefers to segment itself as the beverage choice of the New Generation,
Generation Next, or just as the Pepsi Generation.These terms adopted in Pepsis
advertising campaigns are referring to the markets that marketers refer to as Generation
X. The Generation X consumer is profiled to be between the ages of 18 to 29. They have
high expectations in life and are very mobile and active. They adopt a lifestyle of living

Pepsi Cola throughout its 100 years of existence has developed much strength.
One of the strengths that have developed Pepsi into such a large corporation is a strong
franchise system. The strong franchise system was the backbone of success along with a
great entrepreneur spirit. Pepsis franchise system and distributors is credited to bring
Pepsi from a 7,968 gallons of soda sold in 1903 to nearly 5 billion gallons in the year of
1997.
Pepsi also has the luxury to spend 225 million dollars in advertising a year. This
enormous ad budget allows Pepsi to reinforce their products with reminder advertising
and promotions. This large budget also allows Pepsi to introduce new products and very
quickly make the consumer become aware of their new products.
Pepsi also has had the good fortune of making very wise investments. Some of the
best investments have been in their acquiring several large fast food restaurants. They
have also made wise investments in snack food companies like Frito Lay, which at
present time is the largest snack company in the world. Probably high on the list of
strengths is Pepsis beverage line up.

Introducton to the Study:
Beverage industry is one of the fast growing industries in India. It can be divided in to
two sections i.e. carbonated and non-carbonated. The carbonated drinks that
furtherclassified in to cola, lemon, orange, mango and apple segments.
In partial fulfillment of the above mentioned course a project was undertaken by me on
the topicSALES AND DISTRIBUTION , AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
BETWEEN PEPSI AND COCA COLA PRODUCT OFFERS. To know the facts
regarding the above topic, I did a market survey particularly for customers, retailers and
distribution in Allahabad.My interest was Marketing includes all the activities like
promotion, distribution, advertising etc.Marketing is also to convert social needs in to
profitable opportunities. So this topic provides all the essentials to theoretical as well as
practical knowledge and to inculcate its efficiencies. It will help the company ultimately
to achieve their goals.
The soft drinks companies are experiencing a boom in soft drinks, although growth of
other cold drinks is not quite encouraging. The markets of soft drinks are mainly
triggered by the entry of two players i.e. coca cola and Pepsi.
PepsiCo India is striding ahead rapidly towards enabling the global vision to
be the world's premier consumer products company focused on convenience foods and
beverages. PepsiCoIndia seeks to produce healthy financial rewards for investors as it
provide opportunities of growth and enrichment to its employees, business partners and

the communities in which it operates. PEPSI has gained its dominance in terms of
beverages as well as food.
to look in to customer perception and satisfaction level about PepsiCo with other
beverages present in the market.
The company wants to give maximum satisfaction to its customers, so that they
can get good value for their capital. The company wants to know whether the consumers
are satisfied with their services or not? Whether consumers have faced any problem with
the product and if any then what type of problem they are facing? Whether the retailers
are satisfied with the promotional schemes of the company? What should be the changes
that will improve the quality of services? What are the competitive advantages the
company has over the competitors and where the company lacks? What are the
opportunity and threats in the external environment and how the company scheme for the
opportunity and how the company overcome this threats?
Since this study was aimed at knowing the customer as well as retailers satisfaction
dissatisfaction level and therefore it required to collect information related to quality pf
services provided by PepsiCo Company as well as about its competitors.

Chapter 2
Policies
As one of the worlds leading food and beverage companies, public policy affects
PepsiCos ability to operate a successfulbusiness, and continue to provide shareholder
value. For this reason, we believe that active participation in public policy is essential and
appropriate for companies in open societies. To demonstrate transparency, PepsiCo has
adopted a variety of policies that are publicly available on our website below.
Government Policy:
The health of democratic societies depends on citizens being responsibly engaged in the
political process. The PepsiCo Concerned Citizens Fund (CCF) receives voluntary
employee contributions to make political campaign contributions to U.S. federal and state
political parties, committees and candidates. The CCF and the company's corporate
contributions provide an important opportunity for PepsiCo, and its employees, to
participate in the democratic process.
The PepsiCo Concerned Citizens Fund (CCF) receives voluntary employee contributions

8/14/2019 Sales & Distribution and Comparison between PepsiCo & Coca-Cola AHUTOSH DWIVEDI.docx
45/121
45
an important opportunity for PepsiCo, and its employees, to participate in the democratic
process. We believe that providing financial support to responsible pro-business
candidates is an important means by which we help improve the business climate, our
quality of life and the society in which we live, enabling us to succeed as a company
committed to integrity, innovation and value.
The following criteria will be used in connection with all contributions:
The candidate's or entity's commitment to improving the business climate;
The candidate's or entity's position or voting record on issues of direct concern to
PepsiCo;
The location of PepsiCo facilities or employees within the candidate's district or state;
The candidate's position on key committees where legislation of importance to PepsiCo is
considered or the candidate's demonstrated leadership - or potential for leadership -
within the U.S. Congress or a State Legislature.
The candidate's need for campaign financial assistance.
The public policy issues we face as a company and our engagement in the public policy
process, including contributions as part of the political process, are discussed with and
reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the company's
Board of Directors.
Details on PepsiCo's political contributions will be posted on its website on an annual
basis. This will occur in conjunction with the release of PepsiCo's Corporate Citizenship
Report each year.

All contributions and support of U.S. or state political parties, committees or candidates
from the CCF or corporate funds must be made in accordance with applicable campaign
finance and disclosure laws. Coercion of any employee to contribute to the CCF or to
make any political contribution of any kind is unacceptable.
Our employees have the right to be engaged in the political process in their individual
capacity as they see fit, and make political contributions of their own time and money to
the candidates or parties of their choice. Of course, those efforts must not in any way
suggest PepsiCo's support.
Management and supervisory employees who are citizens of the United States may
voluntarily contribute to the CCF.
PepsiCo employees must obtain approval of the Corporate Vice President Public Policy
& Government Affairs before making political contributions of corporate funds.
All contributions must be reviewed by the corporate law department to ensure legal
compliance.
All payments from the CCF to support U.S. or state political parties, committees or
candidates must be approved by the CCF Executive Committee.
PepsiCo generally does not provide contributions from corporate funds to candidates
outside the United States. Any exception to this would require a written recommendation
by PepsiCos regionalgovernment affairs representative and approval by (1) the
Corporate Vice President of Public Policy & Government Affairs and (2) the corporate
and regional law departments to ensure strict legal compliance.

COMPETITORS:
TheCoca-Cola Company has historically been considered PepsiCo
s primary competitor in the beverage market, and in December 2005, PepsiCo surpassed
The Coca-Cola Company in market value for the first time in 112 years since both
companies began to compete. In 2009, the Coca-Cola Company held a higher market
share in carbonatedsoft drink sales within the U.S.In the same year, PepsiCo maintained
a higher share of the U.S. refreshment beverage market, however, reflecting the
differences in product lines between the two companies. As a result of mergers,

51
acquisitions and partnerships pursued by PepsiCo in the 1990s and 2000s, its business has
shifted to include a broader product base, including foods, snacks and beverages. The
majority of PepsiCo's revenues no longer come from the production and sale of
carbonated soft drinks. Beverages accounted for less than 50 percent of its total revenue
in 2009. In the same year, slightly more than 60 percent of PepsiCo's beverage sales came
from its primary non-carbonated brands, namelyGatorade andTropicana
Two primary reasons contributed to domination of Coca Cola in the international market,
with one as mentioned above was the strategy Coca-Cola used when investing in a
foreign market. Coca-Cola entered foreign markets differently than Pepsi, providing it an
edge over Pepsi. While Pepsi invested heavily in foreign markets, Coca-Colas appointed
bottlers with significant experience easily neutralized any threat PepsiCo could pose. The
second reason Coca-Cola holds such a dominant position in world market is due to World
War II. During World War II, Coca-Cola offered American servicemen its product for 5
Cents, wherever they were and whatever the costs the company would incur. The
company would establish bottling plants (subsidized by US government), and send its
product overseas wherever US troops went. With its inexpensive price, and widespread
popularity among servicemen, coupled with the eventual victory of US in Europe and
Asia, the product was widely adopted throughout Europe and Asia. Due to familiarity of
the product, Coca-Cola still retains a dominant position throughout Europe and Asia.

NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL IMAGE:
PEPSI-THE INDIAN EXPERIENCE
Pepsi is one of the most well known brands in the world today available in over
160 countries. The company has an extremely positive outlook for India.
"Outside North America two of our largest and fastest growing businesses
are in India and China, which include more than a third of the worlds
population." (PepsiCos annual report, 1999).
This reflects that India holds a central position in Pepsis corporate strategy. India
is a key market for PepsiCo, and at the same time the company has added value to
Indian agriculture and industry. PepsiCo entered India in 1989 and is
concentrating in three focus areas Soft drink concentrate, Snack foods and
Vegetable and Food processing.
Faced with the existing policy framework at the time, the company entered the
Indian market through a joint venture with Voltas and Punjab Agro Industries.
With the introduction of the liberalization policies since 1991, Pepsi took
complete control of its operations. The government has approved more than US$
400 million worth of investments of which over US$ 330 million have already
flown in.
One of PepsiCos key strategies was to develop a completely local management
team. Pepsi has 19 company owned factories while their Indian bottling partners
own 21. The two advertisements tags: yehihai right choice baby and nothing
official about it immediately ring a bell- its got to be Pepsi.

The advertisement tag yehihai right choice baby was the first Hinglish slogan
ever used in the in the Indian market. This slogan proved to be the best suited one
for Pepsi and it was a mega hit and at that moment of time. Pepsi in a short span
of its operations in India has found a place in the hearts and minds of the Indian
consumers. The success has primarily been due to the innovative and passionate
Indian team, which has been built over the years. Pepsi is a trendsetter managed
and run by Indians, where important decisions are taken locally.
Pepsi started its operations in India in 1989 and since then PepsiCo has set
up a fully integrated operation in India viz. Manufacturing, Research &
Development, Marketing, Distribution and Franchising- covering fruit/vegetable
processing, Exports, Snack, and Foods & Beverages. In the mean time Pizza Hut
and Frito Lays are the examples in this regard only.
Pepsi has 40 bottling plants in India, out of which 16 are company owned
and 24 are owned by Indian franchisees. One of the major players in franchisee is
RKJ Group.
The RKJ group is India's leading supplier of retailer brand Carbonated and
Non-Carbonated soft drinks, with beverage manufacturing facilities in India and
Nepal. Its experience in the beverage industry dates back to the sixties when it
had the first franchise at Agra.
It has the license to supply beverages in the territories of Western U.P., part of

Whatever the subject taught in the class room of MBA course that is completely
theoretical. So during the training period we compare how the marketing research
(sales) activities (practical) of our organization with the theories.
IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE OF THE STUDY
Cold drinks were started with the idea of quenching the thirst of the persons traveling. It
was also felt that reliable good water was not available everywhere. So people would
really on their packed bottle and with this idea its makers made these drinks available
mostly, at those places where water was not available i.e. on highways and long distance
trains.
But slowly and slowly with its beautiful taste these become very popular and now
they are available not only in the market and street corners, but also people have started
keeping it in their house.
The credit of popularizing the soft drink goes to Coca Cola. This was the drink
which is liked by all ladies, gents and children. Now days soft drinks are quenching
thirst looks more often; they are taken due to habits.
Gold Sport is considered as the first branded soft drinks, established 53 years ago
before all empowering Coca Cola faced competitions and its euphoric image built up in
the western countries helped it get ready clientele and clamor. Parle Export Pvt. Ltd. is
regarded as the first Indian Company introducing Limca a leman drink complementary to

it this has also introduced Cola Pepone which was withdrawn in the face of tough
competition from Coca Cola.
When Coca Cola bid a Farwell in 1977, Indian market was open for various new
forward publishing different brands in the markets. Parle people introduced their Cola,
Thumps Up with a mighty saying Happy days are here again as if happy days went
away with Coca Cola. Pure drinks of Delhi also without lasing much introduced pure
drinks were producing and marketing Coca Cola earlier Campa Cola with Campa orange
and Campa lemon. Modern Bakeries entered the market with Double Cola Seven, Mohan
Makings with Merry &Plkup and McDowell with Thrill, Rush and Sprint. This is Indian
market where there was no competition and high voltage advertising was on each one
was trying their best to become number one company with A class product in the field
of Soft Drink business. Now after a long gap government of India had given permission
to Coca Cola, which joined with Parle to do business in India. They are trying their best
to regain prestige which it had before. The much rival of Parle is Pepsi an American
concern. It started business on the Indian soil just a few years ago.
Today, it has occupied 62% shares of Soft Drinks market in India. Now Pepsi is
going all out to prove that they are the best. But now due to some factors competition
among them has become stiffen. So in this way the important activities have increased.

Sampling procedure:
~ Census survey
~ Contact method
~ Personal interview
Primary Data collection:
All the dealers/retailers were personally visited and interviewed. There was a format for
collecting the details of the dealers. The format was filled by taking the information from
the dealer by monitoring the shops.
DEALER-SURVEY:
Dealer-survey, as the word indicates, is the survey of every dealer of soft drinks in the
area. For our practical purpose, the dealer not only includes the authorized dealers, but it
also includes all the retailers-big or small grocery shops, stationary, restaurants, beetles
shop etc., besides these, the various exclusive stalls and sales of pantry cars are also
included in it. In a nutshell, by dealer survey, I mean who is dealing with the soft drink in
someway or the other in large or small quantity directly or indirectly.
Thus,my study includes all such dealers,which includes following aspects:
No.of routes covered by depot
Crate strength
Per day sale

Chilling ad
Nature of outlet
Schemes of Pay-off
I had to visit each and every outlet and personally interview them. In order to know the
market share of Pepsi and its competitors. I have conducted a survey in Patna and its
surrounding area. By the help of survey, I can find out the reason behind non-availability
of Pepsi in the specified area.
The knowledge of case-stock indicates our case-in-trade and that of competitors. This
will indicate our case-velocity which will help to plan our bottle as whether our
distribution is effective or not. If my case-stock is low then may decide for a case
stocking campaign. Feedback from marketing place regarding servicing of dealers will
help us to improve our service in the lacked areas.
Therefore, appropriate marketing strategy can be worked out depending upon the
findings. Some more uses of dealer-survey,

At first the soft drinks supplied to the distributors directly. Retailers or owners of
any outlet can not take the delivery from company. They have to take the products from
their respective or nearest distributor.
There are about 50 distributors and innumerable number of retail outlets operating with
the company in its entire market areas which contains total Bihar. In all the important
places of entire territory this company has its distributors. These distributors selected on
the basis of assurance given by them regarding the minimum sales which they have to
maintain annually. The selection is also done on the basis of the financial position and
reputation of distributor in the market. As for example in appointing a distributor first
engaged in soft drink business second priority is given to those people who are in
cigarette selling business. Depending upon the market, each distributor in the initial stage
has to deposit some security money.The retailers are selected by the distributor fixed
criteria for the selection or appointment or retailers from the side of the distributor. Any
one like Panwala, Cigarettewala or any other shopkeeper can have the stall for the sale of
soft drinks and they are called retailers or outlet owners. They have to give assurance to
the concerning distributor for better sale and at the time of taking delivery they have to
deposit the security i.e. the charges if the empty bottles with specified retailers
purchasing price. The charges if the empty bottles with specified retailers purchasing
price. The distributor at first has to seek the permission of sales department for the
number of cases of soft drinks required by them. After getting the proper authority from
sales department paying the requisite amount either cash or demand draft.

WAREHOUSING
Every company has to store its finished goods until they sold. A strong facility is
necessary because production and consumption cycles rarely match.
Warehousing is not a simply storing activity but a package of services that enables the
smooth running of the industry.
The stores must be in constant touch with the use department in order to provide
uninterrupted services to the manufacture and its decision since working capital is locked
up in the warehousing stores in equal to money.
The stores functions can be organized in the following manner:-
a) To receive raw material components equipments etc.
b) To meet the demand of use department by issuing the order
c) Accounting the transaction properly.
d) Minimizing obsolescence surplus and scrap by right identification and
using correct preservation method.
The company supply finished products frequently to different distributors as per the
demand.

Every distributor keeps a minimum stock of different products of the product line so that
the uninterrupted supply could not affect.
In the industrial sector service of optimization where boils down to any exercise of
optimization where limited available resources are to be distributed equitably.The
problem arises from the material that are in stock the form of capital cost, storage loss,
pilferage obsole
