Structural
Rigidity
Cultural
Entrapment
Inexperience
with
newer
elements
Legitimacy
Business became a donor funded development project

13. Firefighting ( resources left to support 2 months of ops)
 Executive sponsorship
 Temporarily isolating the business from mainstream operation
 Bringing in production capabilities
 Shifting from retail to institutional sales

14. Attempting Institutional Sales

…. and it created newer opportunities

15. Reaching monthly break even quantity

4850 kg

16. No celebration though !
15
 Statutory limitations
 Internal rigidity
 Continued conflict with internal culture
 Afew concerned external stakeholders
 Initiative shows potential, but issues must get addressed

17. Sponsored spinoff – CINI Community Initiatives

18. Business went for a toss…
17
 Market preferred to buy products from CINI over CINI Community Initiatives
 Separation allowed some internal groups to deny access to CINI’s resources
 “That’s a company, no longer a part of us”
Transferred employees thought CINI was more secure place to work
 With continued confusion, we could hardly do any business in May-June, 2013
 “An absolute separation is not working, what will work?”

19. Finding answer: CINCOMM as logical extension

“Health, Nutrition, Education and
Protection for woman and child in
need”
“Strengthening CINI’s mission
through social ventures”

25. Finding Opportunity in a Supreme Court Ruling
Ruling: Procurement of
processed food for
ICDS, Mid-day Meal
only from Community
or Local NGO
Observation: Issue of
Quality, Hygiene and
Corruption in
Community Model
Opportunity:Acommunity centric production and distribution model that would address the
observed concerns
“mass production by masses” – enhances livelihood opportunities but increases cost
“locally produced and consumed” - reduces storage, packaging and distribution cost
“community produced and supplied, procured by local development institutes/ Govt, distributed locally”
Strategic Management in binding
Social Science, Health Science, Food Technology, Org Sc, Public Policy, Community Development

26. Building “community+”: optimizing automation and livelihood

27. NUTRIMIX Community +
