19. Kingfisher Indigo- Case Study- 2014
2013 Oct- IndiGo has a market share - a shade under 30 per cent – that must be
telling a story of KINGFISHER Airlines’ failure to Indian Aviation Industry.
From the tag of India’s first Five Star Airlines, has now come down to the verge of
Permanent Closure! On the contrary, the baby step start of Indigo in 2005, is
now taking giant strides in aviation and taking it to International Skies to fight
Bigger Players of the Industry. Now Indigo, stands as the most profitable in
the Indian airline business.
Indigo is looking forward for an IPO in 2014-15 as the market valuations are on
high. Being a Non-listed Airlines, its not mandatory that Indigo reveal
revenues and profits, however the company going public soon revealed
revenues as 11000 Cr and Net Profits of 787 Cr in 2013-14. Just the opposite,
Kingfisher is yet to post any Profit since the inception year and has reported a
loss of Rs. 4300 crore with a revenue of just 683 Cr (against 5832 cr in 2012-
13). Net Losses has reached 13000+ Crores.
Kingfisher Airlines has been grounded and facing the heat from the Law and
Investors for a while now. The flying licence of the Airlines too has been
cancelled. The banks like SBI and Almost all banks in Indian banking scenario
has given Loan to Kingfisher and have considered Dr. Mallya a defaulter.
On 10 Mar ‘13 , DGCA ordered the airline to give money to clear out the dues, as
well as the debts and the salaries of staffs and the vendors payments as well!
20. The man who turned around the aviation industry and made the base for a profitable airline and
who bested Vijay Mallya was- Rahul Bhatia.
Who brought along some of the industry’s best people from Bar Council of India along with Airline
business. Rakesh Gangwal as co-founder, J.B. Singh and Harish k. Gandhi etc.
He was quick to spot the opportunities and was sure enough not to repeat the strategical mistakes
done by KFA. He saw India’s struggling Aviation as a industry which has an average Monthly 5
million people travel (Feb 2014), which is assumed to rise up to 35 million by 2020. India being
highly under penetrated in Aviation sector for having 1 airline to about 2 Million People, where
America has 1 airline per 50000 people. Rahul Bhatia and IndiGo strategically took good steps to
make the airline a success story. IndiGo 1st Ordered 100 Airbus-320s in 2005 in Paris Airshow to
be delivered in a span of 8 Years till 2015. And quite recently in 2011. IndiGo ordered 180 more
aircrafts to be delivered between 2016 to 2025. IndiGo has gone global with its low cost Airline
and is tapping the most popular destinations- Dubai, Kathmandu, Bankok, Muskat and a Few
More.
By 2025 The Indigo will have 280 strong fleet, and if we have to compare the same with respect to
some of the global Low Fair competitors, KFA’s ordered A-380s and A 350s has been cancelled
and the Airline is grounded; Singapore Airline has 106 and has 116 in order along with Air Arab is
has 25 now and has ordered 8 More. The airline started Delhi-Singapore; Kolkata- Bankok and
Kerela Dubai Flights.
The Airline brought operational excellence by adhering to 90% On time record! Very Affordable Rates
of Seats along with effective advertising and may the logo style – all have helped the airline to
gain emotional space in Indian Flight Travellers.
Airline also has the inducted 3 level training in the people. The functional training which includes all
employees with respect to their profile. The next level was Customer Service and Softs kills and
the last level has been the game changer- The leadership training!
The risk which comes along in next phase will be to maintain growth, in economic environment
which is slowing down, along with fighting bigger players with deep pockets!

32. Case Study
Meet Zara, the famous Fast fashion Spanish retail brand! The brand is owned by
Inditex; Started in 1975, by Amancio Ortega who now is the 4th richest person on
earth! Zara operates through 2000+ stores across 90 countries. India has 12 stores
till now. By 2015 Zara will be opening 6 more stores.
Zara operated from Spain HQ The cube, where a much studied subject, “design-
manufacturing- distribution” system has been revolutionized. Just outside Cube,
Zara has its huge distribution centre. Cube works on a philosophy: Speed and
Responsiveness more important than Cost.
Zara is known worldwide for a phenomenon which no other retailer has able to
replicate nor achieve. Zara manages to do Twice a week, at precise times, to all
stores across globe in response to the store managers’ system orders. The company
is known to produce about 45 cr items in a financial year. China has just became
the 2nd biggest market of Zara with 146 Stores. But being a global co. China seems
to be a struggle for Zara with changes in business external environment. Whether a
shirt is made in Portugal or Morocco, in China or Bangladesh, it still goes to Spain
before being shipped to a store. Beyond the distribution center are the 11 Zara-
owned factories. Every garment made is first sent directly to the distribution center
via an automated underground monorail. There are 124 miles of track within the
centre.
33. 2012 Zara accounted for €10.5 billion (1 Lac Cr) of that. Zara’s factories in
Spain and those it uses in Portugal, Morocco, and Turkey produce its
trendiest clothes, often taken directly from the fashion weeks & runways,
after slight design alterations. This has led to furious reactions from the
global high end fashion Brands and Designers. Zara brings along the same
high end fashion to masses at almost economic pricing! The products from
factory of Portgual and Morocco, account for about half of Zara’s
inventory. Its more basic T-shirts, sweaters, and the like are ordered on a
traditional schedule, about six months in advance, from factories in Asia,
where labor costs are often cheaper, then sent by ship to Spain.
Once all the garments produced in all centres reach the Cube, the new items
are inspected, sorted, tagged with prices, and hung on racks or folded,
they’re packed overnight, loaded onto trucks, and taken directly to a store
or the airport. The trucks and planes run on established schedules,
delivering clothes to most stores within 48 hours.
Zara can afford the extra labor and shipping costs because it doesn’t have to
discount as much as its competitors. Nor does it advertise. Zara gets 85
percent of the full price on its clothes, while the industry average is 60
percent to 70 percent.
Zara has achieved global success, with fashion affordable and prepackaged
fashion. A business built on Speed, and designed for addiction!

49. Case Study
The Tata acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover is a superb example to include in research notes on
takeovers and mergers. At the time (early 2008), Tata’s investment in JLR seemed to be
poorly timed and there were many critics who questioned the strategic logic of the move as
well as its timing. Shortly after the takeover, demand in the global market for luxury cars
collapsed as a result of the financial crisis and Tata was forced to refinance to support its
investment.
Several years later, however, the takeover appears to be a compelling example of a successful
acquisition which is generating substantial shareholder value for Tata as well as continued
support from JLR’s many stakeholder groups in the UK.
Background- Jaguar Land Rover (JLR):
Jaguar Cars and Land Rover bought by Ford from BMW for $1.4bn in 1989. A difficult
relationship between the UK firm and its US owners ;saw the worst times of extremely
respectable brand under US firm leadership. Jaguar fell into heavy losses whilst owned by
Ford (reaching up to $600million per year). However, Ford invested heavily in new model
development
Tata Group:
One of India’s largest private conglomerates - used to investing in the UK. Tata Bought Tetley Tea
in 2000 And also Bought Corus Steel - a big supplier to JLR - in 2007 which raised eyebrows
across globe. Tata made its presence felt in almost every economy by taking over Corus. Tata
Motors - was already India’s third largest car-maker, but struggling with a poor image and
hampered by rising raw material costs.
50. The Deal
Ford sells JLR to Tata in March 2008, just over £1bn - just a few months before a collapse in global
demand in the international car market. Tata financed the takeover with $3bn of new long-term
loans. The price paid by Tata was approximately half of what Ford paid to buy Jaguar and Land
Rover.; + Ford had continued to incur heavy losses in Jaguar as it failed to turn the business
around. The deal took over a year to agree - which may have helped with the post-merger
integration. Tata recognised that it would continue to need support from Ford who are a main
supplier of car components to the two brands. No significant change proposed to the businesses
by Tata. They claimed that staff, trade unions and the UK government had been kept informed
about the proposed takeover and supported the move. The deal has been endorsed by trade
unions, which secured a commitment from Tata to continue with JLR’s production plans until the
end of 2011. This includes development of new models.
What happened next?
Significant slump in new car sales in late 2008 as a result of the credit crunch; Tata had to refinance in
order to keep JLR solvent. UK government considered a financial aid package, indicating the
strategic importance of JLR to the UK economy. In February 2010: Tata secures a £340million loan
from the European Investment Bank to support JLR through recession. And in May 2011: Tata
announces £5b five year investment programme in JLR - focused on new product development &
new equipment at JLR three UK plants + investment in a planned factory in China. November
2011: JLR announces 1,000 new jobs a Land Rover plant in Solihull boosted by rising demand for
SUVs in China, Russia, India and Brazil. February 2012: Soaring sales of Jaguar and Land Rover cars
have helped Indian firm Tata Motors to a huge rise in profits (up 41% on 2010). JLR arm saw sales
rise 37%, helped by selling 32,000 of its new RangeRover Evoque. China overtakes the UK as JLR’s
biggest market. April 2012: JLR announces that it will build a successor to its previous sports cars
called the F-type at its factory in Birmingham.
51. Questions
• ENLIST the Key drivers of motives for the takeover of Financially
broken JLR during RECESSION by Tata in 2007-08 w.r.t.
– Product Process Innovation Strategy
– Global Strategy and Entry In Overseas Market
By 2014 Under Tata ownership, Jaguar Land Rover has launched new vehicles including
the Range Rover Evoque, Jaguar F-Type, the Jaguar XF, the latest Jaguar XJ the Second-
generation Range Rover Sport, the Fourth-generation Land Rover Discovery and the fourth-
generation Range Rover.
Jaguar Land Rover delivers best ever full year global sales performance retailing 425,006
vehicles in 2013, up 19%. Jaguar is the fastest growing brand in Germany, India and the USA in
8 countries.
52. Key drivers of / motives for the takeover:
i. Acquiring JLR giving Tata greater international distribution, broader
product range and better customer service skills – Horizontal
Integration
ii. Tata gains access to world-class engineering capability
iii. Strengthens relationship between Tata’s steel and motoring
businesses: Vertical Integration
iv. LR also to link closer with Tata Steel to provide new lightweight steel
alloys for new car models: Vertical Integration
v. March 2012: JLR and Chery Automobile agree a joint venture that
should pave the way for production of Jaguar and Land Rover cars in
China.

73. STRATEGIC PLANNING
Product Innovation and Marketing
Today, the Pepsico commands about 60 per cent market share in the 'bridge' category,
which is worth Rs 1,950 crore. Pepsico called it the 'bridge' category and Kurkure,
the 'finger snack'. The total market for salty snacks in India is worth Rs 13,000 crore
and traditional snacks account for Rs 5,200 crore. The puffed snack market too is
valued at Rs 1,950 crore. The potato chips/wafer market is worth Rs 3,900 crore
where Uncle Chips and PepsiCo's Lays are market leaders.
PepsiCo launched Kurkure 15 years ago and has retained a dominant market share for
the brand despite intense competition from both organised and unorganised
players. In this period the brand also overcame some challenges including
allegations that the snack was unhealthy.
Though Kurkure created a new space in the market, the larger challenge for the
company was to get the customers hooked to its unusually shape and crunchy
texture. "In fact the brand name Kurkure was the outcome of a group discussion in
which consumers sampled the brand and repeatedly said that it was nice and
'kurkura' (crunchy)”. Company used the advertising line Kya Karen Control Nahi
Hota.
As part of this, in 2005, the company roped in actor Juhi Chawla as a celebrity brand
ambassador. The brand also kept pace with the flavour of the season - teleserials.
The tagline 'Kahani Mein Kurkure' was launched where Chawla spoofed the
character of Tulsi in the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi soap and the brand
humorously wedged itself into the mainstream. The 'Kya Family Hai' campaign tried
to capture the dysfunctional family that came together at tea-time.
74. However, many local competitors were mushrooming. Significant among them were
Balaji Foods, Yellow Diamond and established brands DFM Foods with Crax brand
and Haldiram's and Bikanerwala.Between 2009 and 2011, the number of local
players rose from 1,378 to 2,863 and PepsiCo lost two to three per cent market
share. The competition forced it to be innovative again.
ndustry sources say Kurkure continues to hold 60 per cent of the market share in the
segment. All others such as Bingo, Yellow Diamond, Balaji and Bikanerwala
together accounts for less than 25 per cent.
Kurkure made a similar attempt with its campaign Meetha Sheetha Chodo, Kurkure
Kha Ke Ho Jao Mast.
