CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION

INDIA AND SOFT DRINKS INDUSTRY
India had "strange bedfellows" kind of relationship with MNC's, which gave a significance to
drink industry of India when Coca-Cola decided to wind up its operations in 1977 rather than
bowing to the Indian Govt. insistence on :-
 Dilution of equity, as the Govt. felt that the loss of foreign currency was being drained.
 Manufacturing of the top-secret concentrate (syrup) in India.
 Disclosure of the chemical composition of the essence.
After the winding up of Coca-Cola a large space was left in the vast soft drink market, and a
vista was opened for any company with the requisite, technical, marketing and organization
skill.
Three or four groups of Indian bottling companies had the requisite production capacity and
started their own branch of COLA, LEMON & ORANGE flavors but failed to achieve their
respective goals on the national prospective.
OWNER COMPANY PRODUCTS
Mc Dowell Thrill, Rush, Sprint, Kissan

Modern Bakeries 777, Tingler

Their well equipped bottling plants and the distribution networks were of no use until 1977
when they developed a new formula to survive and they gradually came up with Lemon,
Orange and Cola flavors.
No doubt in this era the race winner was Parle with Thumps up, Gold Spot and Limca under its
umbrella.
Parle products viz. Thumps up, Gold Spot and Limca become the market leader in their
respective segments. Thumps up was the frontrunner of Parle brands blazing its way bearing the
slogan " happy times are here again" indicating the coke replacement. Thumps up to very great
extent retrieved the coke addicts from the so-called "Cola-shock" or "Cola-depression"
In spite of all these, the soft drink market is still has large gap, as claim by soft drink
Manufactures. To fill the gap, there many soft drinks concentrate and squashes flooding the
market.
The Indian soft drink market basically offered three flavors, i.e. orange, lemon and cola now
after long gap government of India invited Pepsi Cola Company in 1990 and it pumped Rs.
1000crores into India's operation.
Pepsi Cola company founded by Cable Bradham in 1890 at North Carolina in U.S.A. now it is
ranked 86th (1966) in the world with an asset of around $ 25000 million, having its headquarter
at New York. In India it has more than 24 bottling plants of them 10 are COBO and 14 FOBO
of witch one is in Jharkhand at Jamshedpur.
Along with Pepsi, Coca-Cola also entered India in 1993 and has joined with Parle to do
business on India soil regain its lost prestige.

water.

18. 18

The municipal water is passed through sand filter, carbon purifier and salt charged softener (to
remove hardness). The water obtained after this treatment is called soft water. This soft water
being kept with 2-4 PPM c12 in storage tank is used for bottle washing and the water being
stored with c12 goes to the boiler.
TREATED WATER
The municipal water is at first treated with Ferrous Sulphate (FeSo4), lime and chlorine. This
process involved is called Coagulation and it takes place in the reaction tank. From reaction
tank the water moves on to the intermediate tank to be stored in storage tank. From there it
passes through the sand filter, carbon purifier, micro purifier and U-V light. Water obtained
after this much treatment is called treated water and is used preparation of drink.

completely automatic process. Which takes place in a machine having three chambers. Bottles
are put on the conveyor and as they enter the machine they undergo three successive treatment.

treated with 2% caustic soda at 120F and in the third chamber they are treated with soft water.
The cleaned bottled are sent to inspection, where the upper and lower portions of the bottle are
watching successively against strong light.

Channel (Retailers)
1.Convenience store:- A convenience store is a small retail business that stocks a range of
everyday items such as groceries, snack foods, candy, soft drinks, , tobacco products.
Convenience stores usually charge significantly higher prices than conventional grocery
stores or supermarkets, as convenience stores order smaller quantities of inventory at higher
per-unit prices from wholesalers. However convenience stores make up for this by having
longer opening hours, serving more locations, and having shorter cashier lines.
2.Grocery store:- A grocery store is a retail store that primarily sells food. A grocer is a bulk
seller of food. Grocery stores often offer non-perishable food that is packaged in cans, bottles
and boxes, with some also having fresh produce, butchers, delis, and bakeries. Large grocery
stores that stock significant amounts of non-food products, such as clothing and household
items, are called supermarkets.
3.Eatery store:- A food court is also known as eatery store is generally an indoor plaza
or common area within a facility that is contiguous with the counters of multiple food vendors
and provides a common area for self-serve dinner. Food courts may be found in shopping
malls, airports, and parks. In some places of learning such as high schools and universities, food
courts have also come to replace or complement traditional cafeterias.

Direct store delivery
Under the DSD system, PepsiCo delivers products directly to retail stores. Of the three
channels, DSD enables PepsiCo to merchandise with maximum visibility. It’s more suitable for
products that are restocked often and are sensitive to promotions and marketing.

that are less fragile and perishable, have lower turnover, and are not purchased impulsively.

CONCLUSION
While researching on DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY OF SMV BEVERAGES PVT.
LTD(PEPSICO), i have truly enjoyed my research report from the learning and experience view
point. I am quite sure that this type of experience will definitely help me to encourage my
research career in future.
The primary objective of this research was to develop a complete understanding of the overall
functioning of PepsiCo India including the distribution network. The data collected provided a
sound base for understanding the overall organizational set up of SMV beverages pvt
ltd.(PepsiCo).
1. The Sales and Distribution Network of Pepsiis very strong and almost flawless.
2. Maintaining the good relationship with the distributors are very important for the
company because they are the main part of the distribution channel.
3. Franchisee based operations combined with the Company’s operations add strength to the
overall presence of the Company in the market.
4. It is very important to develop good relationship with the retailers by providing them
better services and schemes.
5. PepsiCo India had the first mover advantage when it entered the market and it capitalized
on that advantage to grab the market.
6. Franchisee takes care of its operations and PepsiCo does not interfere in its operations.
The Franchisees are required to report to the Company at specific time intervals.

LIMITATIONS
I have completed this survey process within two months only. most probably 15-20 minutes
for each persons. My target was to survey at least 500 retailers of Pepsi in the different
markets of Jamshedpur . but it was very hard to find out them as most of the people do not
use internet banking. Further some of them were not interested to express their opinions.
Respondents are too busy to read the questions properly and tick the answer just for the sake
of completing the survey quickly so there is no guarantee that the data collected is 100 %
correct.
The area of survey was Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. and it was concentrated on urban area only.
The psychological condition varies from place to place because in many places outlet owner
was not supportive.

SUGGESTION
Distribution of productshould improve during summer as this is the peak time of the business.
the P.S.R. should be trained and to be courteous with the retailer
More emphasis should be given to the existing retailers at the same time new retailer are to be
encouraged to sale pepsiproduct.
Supply should be prompt and time to the problem monitoring to be done.
Merchandising facilities should be fulfilled on time like glow shine board, banners etc.
There should be more brand awareness specially in rural areas.
Pepsi visi coolers and racks should be made easily available for the retailers to serve the
purposeof visibility as they say - JO DIKHEGA WOHI BIKEGA.
P-O-G should be done regularly as it poses sales of the product as well as gives more visibility
of the products.
Pepsishould have to maximize the availability of 250 ml cans of different sku's and lehar soda.
