SOFT DRINK MARKET IN INDIA
Today India is one of the most potential markets, with population of around 900 million
people, the Indian soft drinks market was only of 200 cases per year. This was very low evencompared to Pakistan and Philippines. Population and potential market are two major reasons
for major multinational companies of entering India. They feel that a huge population
coupled with low consumption can only lead to an increase in the soft drink market. Another
increase in the sale of soft drinks in the scorching heat and the climate of India, which is
suitable for high sale of soft drinks. All these factors together have contributed to a 30%
growth in the soft drinks industry. If the demand continues growing at the same rate, within
two years the volume could touch 1 billion cases. All these factors are the reasons for the
entry two giant of the soft drink industry of the world to enter the Indian market. These two
giants Pepsi and Coca-Cola, Themselves share 96% of the soft drink market share. Rest is
shared by Cadburys Schweppes, Campa Cola and other soft drink brands. But was the scene
same 20 years ago? The answer is No. 1970 was the year of pure soft drinks Campa cola and
Parle people (Thumps up and Limca).
Soft drink consists of a flavor base, sweetener and carbonated water. In general terms
non-alcoholic drinks are considered as soft drinks this name soft drink was given by
Americans as against hard which is mainly alcoholic.
The major participants involved in the production and distribution of soft drink are
concentrate and syrup producers, bottlers and
Retail channel. Concentrate producers manufacture basic soft drink flavors and retail channel
refers to business location that tells or serves the products directly to consumers.
Soft drink is not a product, which a person plans to buy before hand, but is an impulse
purchase. Lots of sale depends upon the strength of merchandizing done at the point of sale.
It all begin in 1977, a change in government at the center led the exit of coca-cola
which preferred to quit rather to dilute its equity to 40% in compliance with the Foreign
Exchange Regulation Act (FERA). The first national cola drink to pop up was double seven.
In the meantime, Pure Drinks, Delhi on cokes exit, switched over to Campa Cola.
The beginning of 1980s saw the birth of another cola drink, Thumps up, Parle the
Gold spot people, launched it in 1978-79, as Refreshing Cola. By the mid-eighties Mc
Dowells launched Thrill, and by the late eighties there was Double Cola, which entered in
India market, as a NRO-run out fit with its plant in Nasik { Maharastra }, in 1978 Parle,
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert
12/82
Indian soft drinks market (share 33%) with its gold spot and Limca brands. Later Thumps
Up also started Thumps Up. At the same time the threat to the Indian soft drinks was that of
fruit drinks. In 1988, fruit drinks market was valued at Rs. 40 corers and grew at the rate
20%.
Coca-Cola entered Indian by buying up to 69% of the 1,800 corer soft drink market
{ i.e. 5 Parle Export brands of Thumps Ups Limca Gold spot, Citra & Maaza }.Today the
scene has changed making it a direct battle between two giant Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The
picture will become clearer by looking at the India market shares in the beverage industry.
One of the strongest weapons in Coke armory is the flexibility it has empowered its
people with. In Coke every employee, may he be a manager or salesman, have an authority to
take whatever steps he or she feels will make the consumers aware of the brand and increase
its consumption. Thus Coke believes in establishing and nurturing creditability of the
salesman and making commitment to grow business in accounts. All these factors together
led to a high growth in the Indian market and constantly increasing market share.

has phenomenal possibilities for rocketing profit growth inspite of the sign of relief heaved
by the manufacture at the abrupt sensational termination of coca cola monopoly the tastes of
cola is by no means extinguished the coca. cola have a status symbol to it..., generated by the
sub standard, penetrated, advertising and extensive distribution network.
Total soft drink segment is growing at the rate of 10% per year still if international
standard area considered the per capita consumption of three serving in rock bottom, less than
even our neighbors Pakistan and Bangladesh, where it is four more as much. So with kind of

Food company to coke was granted by the government in Pune in 1992 the plant was
established for is deducted then the bottle are taken out of the line and cleaned again or
rejected.
The most important step is the mixing of drink concentrate dissolved in the soft water

COMPETITIVE ARENA
The soft drink market all over the world has been witnessing a neck to
neck battle between the two major players, Coca-Cola and Pepsi since
the very beginning. The thirst quenchers are trying hard to have the
major chunk of the pie of carbonated soft drink market. Both the players
are spending their energies in building capacity, infrastructure,
promotional activities etc.
Coca-Cola being 11 years older than Pepsi has dominated the scene in
most of the soft drink markets in the world and enjoying leadership in
terms of market share. But the Coca-Cola people are finding it hard to
keep away Pepsi, which has been narrowing the gaps regularly. The two
are posing threats to each other in every nook and corner of the world.
While Coca-Cola has been earning most of its bread and butter through
beverage sales, Pepsi has a multi products portfolio with some portion
from the same business.
The two warriors are face to face once again here in India with different
strategies and tactics to attack the rival. Coca-cola is focusing upon the
joint ventures with the existing bottlers { fobo } franchise owned bottling
operations to enhance its control on manufacturing and marketing of its
products range and attain the quality standards of its class.
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert
21/82
Countering it Pepsi has taken the battle in its own hands by floating as
investment of $ 95 billion to set Pepsi Company. India holdings, as
subsidiary for {cobo} company owned bottling operations. Both the
companies are following different path to reach the same destiny i.e. to
fetch the bigger portion of aerated soft drink market. Both consider India
a huge potential market, as per capita consumption here is a mere 3
serving annually against the world average of 80. Therefore, they are
putting in their best efforts to woo the Indian consumer who has to work
for 1.5 hours to buy a bottle of soft drink. In comparison to the
international norms minutes, a major hurdle to cross over for both the
athletes for getting no.1 position comparison to the inter. Coca-cola is
well set with its 53 bottling sites through out the country giving it an edge
over competition by processing a well-built bottling and distribution set-
up. On the other hand, Pepsi, with two more years in india, has been
able to set an image of a winner in India and has been able to get the
pulse of the India soft drink market. The soft drink giants are leaving on
stone unturned and her for the long terms.
Coca-cola has been penetrating the market through its wide product
range with a determination to change consumption pattern
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert
22/82
of soft drink in India. Firstly, they upgraded the whole industry by
introduction 300 ml bottles, which in turn had given the industry a
booming growth of 20% as compared to the earlier 5%. They want to
develop a coca culture here and are working on a strategy to offer soft
drink in every possible package. In coca-cola camp, the idea of
competition has not come from Pepsi, but from the other beverages
such as tea, coffee, nimbu pani, water etc. Pepsi is quite aggressive in
its approach to Indian consumer. They are desperately working on the
strategy to be winners in the hot cola war between two big barons.
According to Pepsi philosophy, its the madness that encourages
executive to think, to conjure up those creative tactics to knock the fizz
out their competition. Pepsi had plumbed a large on the visibility of its
blue red and white logo. They have been going with aggressive
marketing by putting Amir Khan, Akshay Kumar and their
advertisement to endorse their brand, the role models for its targeted
consumer the teenagers. They have increased the fizz in the market
place by introducing the dispensers called fountain Pepsi and has been
enjoying a lead over its rival there.
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert

Coca-cola on the other hand, has been working on the saying slow and
steady wins the races side by retailing to every more of its competitor.
They have procured the shield of thumps up with a handsome market
share in Indian soft drink market.
Countering Pepsis international commercial that used two chimpanzees
to cock a snoop at coke, thumps up come with the ad line, dont be
Bandar, and taste the thunder. Also thumps up has been positioned now
very near to that young image of Pepsi and giving it a though time.
These cool merchants have put everything on fire. It coke got the status
of the official drink of wills. World cup, Pepsi blushed as nothing official
about it. As thumps up projected as saaree jahan se achcha Pepsi was
passionate enough with freedom to be and now the yeh dil mange
more when thumps up came with thunder blast, the other offered Pepsi
stuff card. If red is meant for coke, Pepsi has chosen to be blue.

Coke decides on its marketing strategies at a national level and lends
them a local flavor. For example, while festival mood plays a strong role
in marketing, it is activated for Durga Puja in Calcutta, Dandiya in
Gujarat, etc., Coke has its focus on the youth market in India.
As a first step toward catching the attention of the youth, coke signed on
cricket heroes Saurav Ganguly and Javagal Srinath. It slowly started
talking about youth passions like cricket, films, festivals and food. Soonthe advertisements started giving the message, Eat Cricket, Sleep
Cricket, Drinkonly Coca-Cola And now it has started modifying film
hits to frame catch lines that appeal to the youth. This particular strategy
has worked well for coke.
Coke is focused on distribution to ensure that its products are within
customers reach. And it saves its focus has begun to pay it dividends.
As per mid-1998 figures coke is selling as many bottles in the hinterland
of Punjab as it does the four metros.

THE FUTURE OF COCA COLA
While doing business overseas offers coke wonderful growth
opportunities it also has its own disadvantages. The economic slowdownin various overseas markets and the strong dollar had their impact on
coca-cola revenues and bottom line in 1998. But the company optimistic
about the future.
M Douglas Investor, the Chief Executive Officer of the Coca-Cola
Company says, This past year 1998 has been a challenging period forthe Coca-Cola Company as economic environment became more
uncertain in the later part of 1998, we strongly believe that our
fundamental opportunities for long term growth have not changed.
As long as maximization of share holder wealth remain Cokes focus for
its future is assured Goizueta had stated and proven to the world that
focus on shareholder wealth does more good to the company than focus
on revenues and it is not that coke does not enjoy volumes for it is
worlds No.1 soft drink manufacture. It is not content with this title and is
aiming at higher volumes year after year. Surely coke will continue to
grow. Point on Roberto had reduced the company basically to its
trademark and the returns are so astronomical as to be off the boards. It
just absolutely added a jet engine to their performance.

COCA COLA GLOBALIZATION STRATEGIES
The coca-cola company is global player and approximately 70 % of its
volume and 80 % of its profit come from outside the United States of
America. Although it was perceived as a standardized brand across the
world, coca-cola had been quietly fine turning its international marketing
strategies to suit the needs of individual national markets. Only the
brand coca-cola, sprite and fanta were marketed globally. In Latin
America and Europe, where a heavy consumer preference existed for
lemon lime and orange sodas. Coke had developed a wide range of
formulations and flavors to cater the needs of different countries. In ei
salvador and venezuela, a version of fanta called fanta kolita a cream
soda type of drink became extremely popular. Similarly, in indonesia
coke had been selling pineapple and banana limca, maaza and thumps
up in 1993.

Chattanooga, he decided to pitch the idea of bottle soft drinks to coke,
which was then sold only as a fountain beverage.
it occurred to him that coca-cola in bottles would be very popular,
Lovell said, Mr. Candler did not see any future in it because the
containers were not sound, but thats how it all came about. Thomas
and whitehead promised to pay one dollar for the right to bottle coca-
cola, but legend has it that no money changed hands.

COKES BOTTLING STRATEGIES
In the soft drink business the bottlers are responsible significant extent
for ensuring the availability of the products. Bottlers are supplied with
concentrate to which they add aerated water and bother ingredients
before packing and sealing either cans or bottles. Bottlers play a
strategic role in the success of soft drinks companies and this was not
far from Goizuetas mind.
In 1986 the company merged some of its company owned bottling
operations with two large ownership groups that had been put up for
sale. All these bottling activities were combined to from its own
subsidiary Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) to handle bottling operations.
The Coca-Cola Company took 49 percent equity stake in Coca-Cola
Enterprises enabling it to retain its own balance sheet.

DISTRIBUTION IN THE COCA-COLA SYSTEM
Getting Products to Market
One of the values of the coca-cola system is presence that coca-cola
should exist everywhere. In the words of former CEO-India operations
Richard Nicholas, Our goal is to have coke available within an
arms reached of desire. To fulfill this goal, coca-cola not only
produces products, but also has an effective system to distribute them
all over India.
Distribution
Distribution sales + delivery + merchandising + local account
management.
Distribution of Cokes products includes the activities of sales, delivery
merchandizing and local accounts management. These are two major
types of distribution systems:-
(i) Direct and Indirect
In direct distribution, the bottler partner direct control over the
activities of sales, delivery, merchandizing and local account
management.
In indirect distribution, an organization which is not a part of the
coca-cola system has control of one or more of the distribution
elements (sales, merchandizing and local accounts
managements).
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert
33/82
With direct distribution there are two types of sales:-
Advanced sales and conventional sales.
In conventional sales, all the distribution activities (Sales, Delivery,
Merchandizing and Local Accounts Management) are performed by the
same persons.
In advanced sales, sales and delivery are performed by different people
within the coca-cola system.
Difference between a customerand a consumer.
a consumer is some one who drinks coca-cola products.
A customer is a business location which sells or serves coca-cola
products to consumers.
Merchandizing
One the products are delivered to the customers they are promoted at
the point-of-purchase to maximize the companys sales opportunities,
merchandizing involves looking at the presentation of the products
through the eyes of the consumers. It is an on-going process that help
the company present its products properly to the consumers in the
market place for instance, is the display attractive? Are the product
neatly organized.
Presenting the products
Coca-cola presents its products for sale in four different ways. They are
as follows:-
Secondary display
Coolers
Vending machines

REASON FOR HIGH DEMAND OF

Interviewing is an art and one learns it by experience. However, thefollowing points may be kept in view by an interviewer for eliciting thedesired information:
(1) Interviewer must plan in advance and should fully know the
problem under consideration. He must choose a suitable time and
place so that the interviewee may be at ease during the interview
period. For this purpose some knowledge of the daily routine of the
interviewee is essential.
(2) Interviewers approach must be friendly and informal. Initially
friendly greetings in accordance with the cultural pattern of the
interviewee should be exchanged and then the purpose of the
interview should be explained.
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert
48/82
(3) All possible effort should be made to establish proper rapport with
the interviewee; people are motivated to communicate when the
atmosphere is favourable.
(4) Interviewer must now that ability to listen with understudying
respect and curiosity is the gateway to communication, and hence
must act accordingly during the interview. For all this, the
interviews must be intelligent and must be a man with self-restraint
and self discipline.
(5) To the extent possible there should be a free-flowing interview and
the questions must be well phrased in order to have full
cooperation of the interviewee. But the interviewer must control
the course of the interview in accordance with the objective of the
study.
(6) In case of big enquiries, where the task of collating information is
to be accomplished by several interviewers, there should be an
interview guide to be observed by all so to ensure reasonable
uniformity in respect of all salient points in the study.

SALESMEN
Conventional Route Salesmen carries ready stocks in vehicles and
sells it to retailers on his route. Characteristics of conventional
routes:
Salesman visits the outlets without a proper PJP
Has the responsibility of driving which includes following
traffic rules , finding place to place to park in congested
market places , sell the products
And collect cash & glass.
Communicates schemes and handles cash himself which
given him the opportunity to manipulates with discounts.
Salesman is un-educated, with his primary qualification
being a driving license.
Very low vehicles capacity utilization.
Companys span of control till distributor
SKUs loaded on truck is only an estimate leading to
shortage in brand/packs in the market.

WHAT IS PRE-SELL?
Pre-sell A selling technology in which the selling process has
two distinct parts:
Generating order selling the order and delivering the pre-sold
order .It segregates the front-end and back-end process of
selling.
Works on a proper beat with a defined PJP.
A pre-seller focuses on taking orders in advance after
activating the outlet .Therefore eh has dedicated time for
effectively selling schemes and promotions and
Carrying out his executing an outlet responsibility.
Back-end activities like invoicing, delivering stocks,collecting cash & glass are carried out by others.
Delivery vehicles are loaded as per the orders, leading to
very high capacity utilization & negligible shortage of
brand/pack to the retailer.
Company gets control over retailer.
Retailer is sure that hes getting the complete discount.
Higher Distribution ROI.
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert

WHY PRE-SELL?
Improved execution
Reduced manpower through better utilization of MD
resources
Increased vehicle utilization (90%+)
Reduced costs
Improved BPPC Control-Focus on profitable packs and right
BPPC
.
PRE-REQUISITES FOR LAUNCHING PRE-SELL
1. DAS operation is a must.
2. EDS/outlet list by current route/salesman to be prepared
with RED outlets marked.
PRINCIPLES
1. Pre-Seller can be a current Route salesman or a
market developer.
2. All pre-sellers are hired by HCCB & paid through a 3rd
party.
3. Pre-seller will be responsible for:
RED outlets = Execution + Volume.
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert
52/82
Non RED outlets =Volumes
4. Depending on the town/area/locality, pre-seller will be
allocated two/three beats each, with a frequency of
3x/2x per outlet.
5. Will cover 30 outlets in one beat using Beat Planning
Format
6. Pre-billed orders leave the depot/distributor go down.
7. Pre-sell to work on specific geography rather than
specific outlets.
IMPLEMENTING PRE-SELL METHODOLOGY
RE-Organizing the routes
1. List all outlets. The listing will provide all the
necessary information.
2. Identify outlets that should be on Pre-sell beats &
form geographical clusters.
3. Convert these clusters into Pre-sell beats ,
using the beat planning format
4. Prepare walking order Route Plan for Pre-sellers
for the beats assigned to him.
5. And Remember to ensure:
One Pre-sell beat should have 30-35 outlets.
Check available time through the beat
planning format.
ASSIGNING MANPOWER
For Pre-sell we need the following:
1. Pre-Seller for generating the order and market
execution.
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert
53/82
There will be only one cader called PRE-
SSELLER which is either salesman or MD
converted to this role .
2. Drivers (delivery salesman) & helpers for
supplying orders.
3. MDs for executing RED outlets on conventional
routes.
4. For DSD one person at depot to take orders from
Pre-sellers and billing.
BUILDING BACK-END SUPPORT
1. DELIEVERY PROCESS
1 cluster of 3-4 pre-sellers.
Volume & no. of outlets for every cluster will
be derived.
2. VEHICLES
Collect and analyses data related tovehicles utilization over a period of 6-8
months after Pre-sell is launched.
Re-align the fleets as per the analysis.
TRAINING OF PRE-SELLERS
Training for MD, Pre-sellers must cover how totake order, and suggestive selling after
executing the outlet.
Training for salesman Pre-sellers must include
how to execute an outlet before taking orders
through suggestive selling.
Training will be first organized for MD
converted Pre-sellers. The Salesmanconverted Pre-sellers will be trained later on.
8/7/2019 SHYAM Project Ert
54/82
PHASING OUT THE ROUTES/DISTRIBUTORS FOR
LAUNCH Communicating about Pre-sell in the RIGHT.
Do not encourage Pre-sellers to initiate talk
about Pre-sell with retailers because they not
be able to handle queries well.
STLs/S.Trainers / ASMs / ACDM MUST
accompany Pre-sellers during the launch.
This should be the way forward for at least all
important markets / retailers to reduce
chances of resistance from the trade.
Plan the phasing as per the number of STLs /
trainers you have.
MEASURING PRE-SELLERS PERFORMANCE
Performance to be measured on following parameters:
RED scores of a pre-sellers, Pre-pre-sell &
Post-pre-sell.
This needs to be checked to ensure that in
course of pursuing volume targets; market
execution is not left out which is very
important key to our business. Volume achievements & growths vs. targets.
Productivity.
No. of bills cut in a week vs. potential
Formula-Actual bills cut per week/ (No. of
retailers X3)

CAUTION
1. There might be cases where in some retailers
return stock due to various reasons :-
Does not have money.
Father gave the order but son present at
shop during delivery of stocks.
Estimated the order wrongly now wants
to change the stock.
But the world of caution is thatplease dont
move back to conventional route
2. Make deliveries through clubbed orders and
do not allocate a vehicle for every MD. Even if
that is done in the beginning, swap thesalesman.

Customer is not happy from company marketing policy. He wants
company will start special discount program or increase maximum
retail price.
Most of the retailers problem is that no. company person comes at
the shop for listening the problem.
Company top management not declare the scheme before one or two
days. Thats why scheme catalogue not prepared by the lower level
management. In this way retailers are not satisfy for company policy.
Company management is not doing any thing for retailer. If
management is not provide any relief then he will increase M.R.P.
O P P O R T U N I T Y

Being a seasonal selling product provide all the flavor to the customer
in hot session very necessary. It is the opportunity for the company.
By providing better goods & services company can increase his

T H R E A T
Company should do something for customer interest. Providing
beneficial scheme and good relation to customer other wise its other
competitor will develop and they will capture its market.
Cold Drinks selling is very much depend on customer or retailer so
that retailer is not happy than sale can be effected in future.
In this time only two or three competitor are existing in the market. In
the future the competitor can increase. So that company should
prepare some future plan for maintaining its market share.
Some domestic competitor can develop in the market. Company
should prepare long term future plan for permanently existing in Host
Country.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Company should prepare future plan for maintain selling in market.
Because company competitor can increase and can capture the
market.
Company should provide special benefit to the retailer. Other wise his
interest will go down from cold drinks.
Present time competition is not high in this line because its
competitor is only Pepsi. So that company can do compromise with
Pepsi and both can increase products M.R.P.
Company should appointed a special representative for listening
retailers problem and solve them. He can also find out some
shortcomings of salesman & others.
In case of cold drinks selling mostly depend on retailer. So that his
satisfaction needed.
Test of all flavor like, Coke, Thumps, Limca, Fanta, Maaza and Sprite
should also good.
Defected goods should be returnable or changeable.
Good execution is a main factor in more selling good execution
improves selling.

Sales executive & salesman relation and good behavior also provide
effective guidelines in increasing selling.
For more selling company person should fulfill his commitment.
In Cold Drinks line brand loyalty found only 20%. So that which will be
visible that will salable.
