Introduction
We were assigned with a project and given a topic of ‘Hyundai Verna’, we needed
to design a questionnaire in order to know various aspects of this product like:
• Cause of buying
• Duration of buying
• Other cars
• Substitute searched
• Dealership from which car is bought
• Bought through cash or finance
• Kilometres driven monthly
• Car variant
• Transmission
• Satisfaction ratings
• Customer’s name
• Customer’s gender
• Customer’s age
• Customer’s income and Qualification
• Customer’s family size
After preparation of a quality questionnaire, we need to conduct a survey meeting
customers personally and asking then various above mentioned questions, some
as category variable form consisting options and some as continuous variable
form consisting of free space to answer. By filling answers we came to know the
variety segments in which customers belong. We conducted in total 53 surveys
through calling customers and meeting them personally. We got number of
feedback through which we prepared an excel sheet report.
Further we prepared individual graphs in order to know all univariable fields’
response of individual questions, bivariate field’s response of pairs and tri variate
response by pairing three questions. By making such type of graphs we can
analyse and interpret each and every aspect of the survey and customer’s plus
market’s response. This project proved to be very interactive, practical and full
of learnings.

Industry Profile (Automobile)
We chose an automobile industry product. So we need to go through automobile
industry’s history. Earlier car was just invented as a mean of transport, later on it
trended in exterior styling, size and utility preferences. The very first steam
powered auto motor capable of human transportation was built in 1769. It was
upgraded with an internal combustion engine fuelled by hydrogen in 1808. Then
in 1870, first gasoline powered, building four progressive combustion engine car
was placed on pushcart. Later cars were then influenced. In 1913, Ford motor
company invented ‘Ford model T’, which became the first automobile to be mass
produced over 1,50,00,000 units.
Talking about Indian automobile market, the first time a vehicle came on road
was in 1897. Till 1930, India didn’t had any manufacturing facility, instead, cars
were imported from other countries. The landmark decade in which
manufacturing processed was in 1940s, when companies like ‘Hindustan Motors’
and ‘Premier’ started to manufacture cars of other companies. Along with them,
during the same decade, ‘Mahindra & Mahindra’ also started producing utility
vehicles. Soon after independence government of India tried to create an
automotive component manufacturing industry in order to supplement the
automobile fraternity. During 1950s till 1960s, the overall industry moved at a
slow pace due to trade restrictions set on imports. After the repressive phase,
demand surged but to a smaller extent, but was mainly seen in the tractor and
commercial vehicles’ segment. Then 1960 to 1980s, the Indian market was
dominated by Hindustan Motors, who gathered a large amount of share due to its
‘Ambassador’ model. It was in 1980s that the two firms, Hindustan motors and
Premier, were challenged by a new entrant, ‘Maruti Udyog Limited’. Soon after
liberalisation period, car makers that were previously not allowed to invest in
Indian market due to stringent policies arrived in the country. Post liberalisation,
the alliance between ‘Maruti’ and ‘Suzuki’ was the first joint venture between an
Indian and a foreign company.
Slowly and steadily, the economic reforms brought scope of entry for major
foreign companies like ‘Hyundai’ and ‘Honda’, which expanded their bases in
the country. From 2000 to 2010, almost every major car company expanded its
presence in India by establishing manufacturing facilities across different parts of
the country. As the manufacturing process during early 2000 decade gained
traction, exports of cars were quite slow in that period. Maruti Suzuki was among
the first car brands that started shipping vehicles to major European markets.
6. 5
During the same decade, the government of India introduced mandatory emission
norms in order to reduce pollution arising out from vehicles. The updated
guidelines were known as ‘Bharat Stage’ came into effect in major cities as these
standards were based on stringent European norms. At present, Bharat Stage 4 is
implemented in 13 cities that include Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai,
Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Pune, Surat, Kanpur, Lucknow, Solapur and
Agra while the rest of the nation is still under Bharat Sage 3.
Over the years, the car market in India has evolved by leaps and bounds as almost
all major companies are present in the country. India has now become a hub for
auto makers to set up their plants for manufacturing vehicles intended for
domestic and international markets. The three prominent regions in which the
majority of Indian car industry is concentrated lies in south, west and north. In
the southern region, Chennai is the hub for manufacturing vehicles while Mumbai
and Pune belt comes in second place. For the north, the National Capital Region
holds a fair share as far as concentration of production facilities is concerned.
Today Indian automobile market is one of the largest on the world, both in terms
of sales volume and production.

Research Methodology
Our research methodology is mixture of both ‘Qualitative’ and ‘Quantitative’
approach. This type of method makes us understand customer behaviour, market
response, cause of buying, duration, substitute product, price, ratings through
feedback, family size, preference, etc. It’s known as sample survey. Approaching
customers personally and taking feedback, the shape of response of whole
population can be considered.
Research design:
The study is explorative in nature. The focus of these studies have been on
marketing mix that is on positioning because earlier there were only few players
in the India market as discussed above in the very initial industrial introduction,
then after globalization the automobile market, the scenario was completely
changed due to the entry of large number of multinational companies in the fray.
Survey was the predominant research methodology used in this work.
Questionnaire development:
To develop the questionnaire significant efforts were placed in. so by this the
instrument may dynamically extract ample information from the respondents to
make appropriate conclusions. Customers of Verna car were consulted in order
to obtain their views on their preferences. Feedback served as a base for
correcting, refining and enhancing our questionnaire, some of which were
eliminated as they were found to represent essentially the same aspect with only
slight wording differences. Items written to represent each of the attributes for
customer brand choice, satisfaction and loyalty identified in the current study.
Questions were framed taking into consideration that all the aspects to be known
are covered. The questions were nearly interconnected and minimum time
consuming. Some questions were consisting of multiple choices and some were
open ended questions. Such categories divided are known as:
• Category variable questions
• Continuous variable questions
The basic personal details such as Name, Age, Gender, Income, Qualification and
Family size were as asked.
15. 14
Data sources:
The sources were been created by framing a survey questionnaire, we visited
dealership showrooms for E.g.: Shivalik, Planet, Concept, Sharma, etc; there we
requested the HR mangers and the Sales authories to provide us the data base of
Verna customers from which we can make calls and conduct our survey. From
this data base we called the customers and had the information.
Data collection method:
Calls were made based on the data base we got of Verna customers from the
dealerships, customers were orally asked questions in a way they can easily
interpret and answer. Some customers were candidly approached wherever they
were spotted either in a café or food places.
Characteristics of the respondents:
• The male respondents owning Verna were ‘92.45%’ and the female respondents
owning Verna were only ‘7.55%’.
• The Verna owners are mainly youngsters and corporate people.
• People having Verna also have other cars too.
Limitations of research:
As limitations are inherent in all research surveys, is important that they has to be
brought in light.
• Getting the customer data is difficult as dealerships treat the customer data as a
confidential part.
• Some customer wasn’t interested in answering the questions.
• Some weren’t receiving calls.
• Some were receiving but avoided to cooperate at a particular point of time.
• Some were rude during answering the questions.
• Some preferred to hang out just listening about the questions.
• There were some group member brought data from social sites which were found
to be fake.
• The data wasn’t sufficient to conduct number of questionnaire so other methods
needed to be followed.
• Meeting customers personally need a specific time suitable to him/her which
leaded clashing routine schedule.
• Conceptually group members were not understanding how to conduct the survey.

finance taking loans from bank. Dealerships provide all finance facilities and
guidance under one roof when customer goes in showroom.
Remaining 32.08% people buys in cash. May be such people thinks paying
interest is useless.
But after the government interferences, people prefer to buy things especially
costly products like cars in finance only to avoid any Income tax department
inquires and other issues. Even the dealerships provide discount offers and
customer benefits to finance preferred customers only because their source of
income are from banks also. Attractive loan offers and easy EMI systems are
designed now a days for buying cars.

From the above chart we can conclude that Diesel variant is maximum bought,
undoubtedly diesel price and petrol price are almost same though 35.85% people
prefer buying diesel variants because of good fuel average and low maintenance
if the usage of vehicle is good enough, plus diesel engine’s life to twice the life
of petrol engine.
Second preference is Petrol variant, 24.53% people buys petrol engine because
firstly petrol variant car come at lesser price than diesel variant car. If the usage
is less, then petrol engine gives less maintenance and end of the days proves to
be cheaper. Now a days there is negligible difference between diesel price and
petrol price.
Along with this, the table also shows that mostly people prefer Top variant car
because paying little more amount all the features are provided, no doubt basic
model also consist of basic necessity feature but people are turning to get

dissatisfied. Sometime it happens that due to some factors or expectations, the
product doesn’t fits in, that doesn’t mean the product is wrong but it might not

male preference being more this figures are obtained.
Only 7.55% of female has Verna, even it suits on female as it’s an easy drive and
feature loaded car, thus number of females are less compared to male.
Our country being equi-gender, this vast difference is seen, but slowly it’s

The people who bought Verna within 1.5 years which are in total 15.10% might
be using Hyundai company’s car earlier and being loyal towards the company
they upgraded to new Verna.
From the total survey population 9.43% people buys due to price, it means
Verna’s sale isn’t dependent on price factor much. In that 5.66% people bought
this car 3 years before, during that time there were limited options consisting
features and delivering customer values and price factor mattered.

Limitations:
As limitations are inherent in all research investigations, it is important that these
be brought to light. It should be noted that the current research is also bound by
several limitations, which can be turned into avenues for further analysis.
Methodologically, using a single informant can be regarded as a significant
limitation. Studies suggest that significant measurement error and unreliability
may exist in single-respondent measures. In addition, the inability to draw a
random sample of car owners is a well-known problem faced by us using survey
methodologies. Since so many male, married, self-employed and post-graduation
or above education degree holder respondents, having diesel cars replied to the
survey and so few female, single, employees and graduation or below education
degree holders having cars with petrol as fuel variant, the survey may not
accurately reflect the perceptions of buyers about car companies operative in
India.
The small sample size should be noted also. The sample of the study is relatively
small and to certain extent confined to Ahmedabad that poses difficulty in
generalization of results. Because of this small size, the sampled companies in
the current research may not be sufficiently representative to render a
comprehensive conclusion. Different samples may indeed trigger different results
because the marketing practices differ widely across car segments. Therefore, it
is necessary not only to expand the size of the sample, but also, to cover diverse
segments of the vehicles.
Some caveats also apply to the questionnaire of the study. The questionnaire does
not contain any negative question, and the same scale was used for all the factors
so routine ticking by respondents and its impact cannot be ruled out. Some
elements of inaccuracy might have crept in because of wrong interpretations, of
questions on the part of respondents. The generalizations occurring from this
study are more conducive and are based on the perceptions of a limited particular
group of Verna car owners who were included. These limitations should be duly
considered in this area for future.

SWOT analysis
➢Strength:
• Specifications: Company gives best in segment features along with fulfilling
customer needs and values.
• Design and Comfort: Verna’s fluidic design is very smart looking and suits to
each and every segment people.
• After Sales Service: Hyundai’s service quality and network is the second best in
automobile sector after Maruti Suzuki.
• Company Value: People’s trust on the Hyundai Verna’s look, comfort, features,
safety and service is good enough.

58. 57
➢Weakness:
• Price Factor: Hyundai Verna is no doubt at a good price but at the same time little
expensive compared to No.1 company, Maruti Suzuki.
• Maintenance: Verna’s after sales service maintenance cost is little high because
of the latest specifications in it and a high power engine.
• Mileage: Verna giving a 1.6 litre diesel and petrol engine options with a 126
horsepower capacity, its mileage come lesser than some other companies.
• Inter-Model Competition: Hyundai comes up with a new model or segment in the
market within very short span of time. Plus the existing models are also upgraded
with the new facelifts model due to which old one’s resale becomes a problem
and inter-competition is generated.
➢Opportunity:
• Built Strongest Network: Hyundai’s sales and service network is one of the best
all over India, in fact it comes at No.2 after Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai has an
opportunity to be the best.
• Deliver Maximum: Hyundai Verna gives maximum it can in the on road price it
charges.
• Advertisements: Now a days Verna’s advertisements are made very attractive in
nature, thus, if such different high class ads are prepared then it can affect a lot in
positive manner.
• Mistakes of Competitors: The other competitors might give some less features
compared to Verna, may charges much and give less service, reliability of
customers seems less, etc. these things can be taken as an opportunity and come
up with the same.
➢Threats:
• Intense Competition: Verna’s main competitor models are Maruti Suzuki ‘Ciaz’
and Honda ‘City’. Their price, features, maintenance, etc. are almost same.
• Government Regulations and Increasing Fuel Price: GST regulations, fuel price
hikes, etc affects.
• Improvement in Public Transport: Government increasing quality and sources of
public transport like BRTS, Metro trains in near future, AMTS, etc. Along with
this personal services of taxis like Ola, Uber, etc. everything affects the company.
59. 58
Major findings

60. 59
Suggestions
Suggestions are own perspective, we are suggesting some points with respect to
intend more sale of Hyundai Verna and improve quality which is far good at
current scenario still to be the best.
• Sitting of Verna is at very low pace, some people prefer a higher sitting for better
road view and comfort.
• Hyundai genuine parts are quite costly and so people replace the parts with the
duplicate ones from the local garage which will lead to high maintenance cost in
future, so it should be at affordable rate.
• The trend of LED projector headlamps is in set, Verna should also provide white
LED projected headlamps as the competitor brands does.
• The ground clearance of Verna is 165mm which quite low when it comes to 5
seater driving, Indian roads driving and high speed breakers.
• More service work shops network should be elaborated so that customer get easy
assistance and the No.1 competitor Maruti Suzuki’s service trend can be beaten.
• On road Price of the car should be reduced to an extent so that there will be no
other brand providing this many features and services along with the quality in
that particular price.
• Torque of engine should reduce to an extent so that keeping the car power same
the fuel average can be increased.
• Head room of the car should be made more heighted in some manner so that a
heighted person can easily fit in and be safe during speed breakers’ jerk and off
roading.
• Font break are disc break and rear break are air drum break, based on the power
of the car for auto disc drum break should be given for instant breaking, stability
and safety purpose.
• Frequent advertisements and marketing shall be done for more boost in customers
mind for buying Verna as best option.
• Quality demonstration, test drives, good showroom conditions, etc. should be
taken care of like Maruti Suzuki NEXA for being a quality bench mark and
competing market.

Conclusion:
Conducting this project we came to know a lot about our product which was
Hyundai Verna and along with that we also learnt working in group as a positive
and negative aspect as well. We practically surveyed the market by preparing a
questionnaire.
From the survey done we came to know about Verna that how vast its company
is, its market value, its sales ratios, manufacturing units, production capacity,
customer preference, etc. and specifically about Verna also.
Thus this was a good experience and thanks to our professor Dr. Kishore
Bhanushali and United World School team.

Annexure
As soon as our group got this project and Hyundai Verna as a car, we immediately
prepared our questionnaire and got approval of Dr. Kishore Bhanushali. We
started our survey from the very first day. Made calls, visited customers
personally and applied various sources and ideas to do it. After filling of 53
survey questionnaires, we made prepared the analysis data sheet in excel as per
the guidance of Kishore sir and started interpreting the data through preparing
pivot tables and graphs of each field and question by taking into consideration
each field individually as uni-variate data, comparing two questions as bi-variate
data and comparing three questions as well as tri-variate data. Two types of
analytical graphs were prepared of these fields i.e. Pie charts and Bar graphs.
Then we interpreted the statistics and gave necessary findings, suggestions,
limitations and conclusion.
We faced some challenges during surveys, during communication, during making
pivot tables, researching every aspects in detail and preparing the report. But as
our Kishore sir says, “Don’t point Problems, come up with its Solutions!” we
did the same and over came with our best.
