INTRODUCTION
The project was carried for the Completion of Bachelor in Business Management from the Vijayanagara Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Bellary. The aim behind this project was to get an exposure to the working environment in an organization. It was a great opportunity to relate concepts learned by me to the practical application in the organization. This projectnot only helped me in interacting with highly experienced managersbut also made me to improve my practical knowledge. Considering this type of perishable products like soft-drinks. I wanted to learn about Whether the consumer of this product use it or not? What features do they look for? What benefit do they seek? How likely they like to consume such products? The answers for these questions can be found through consumer research and can provide manufactures with important inputs for the products in terms of: Scheduling Design Modifications Promotional activities

NEED FOR THE STUDY

With the economic liberalization in India a number of global companies have been coming forward to invest in India and tapping perhaps and world's biggest growing market. As the floodgates have been opened up for Multinational Companies, the global giant Coca-Cola also decided to make an entry into the Indian market. In India, the per capita consumption of soft drinks is at rock bottom level even less than our neighboring countries Pakistan and Bangladesh, where it is four times as much. The last summer was particularly sweltering one, with temperatures hitting the high 40's in some places yet; bottles were disappearing from shelves faster than they could be replaced. In the peak season, they found themselves short of capacity and having to turn around their trucks faster and faster to slake the Great-Indian Thirst. With growth rates zooming into the double digits, bottlers have been propelled into expanding capacities. With their big-time plans, the multinationals have changed the face of this business, long dominated by small-time businessmen. If demand continues to increase annually at an average of 20 percent, then volumes could reach one billion cases within ten years. These arc ambitious targets and to reach them the cola makers will have to build capacity, infrastructure, make their bottlers more available and more affordable. There are 5, 00,000 retailers stocking soft drinks in India. Also, soft drinks which retail at anywhere between Rs.9.00 and Rs.12.00 are expensive when measured against purchasing power. As they concoct their strategies, keeping an eye on each other all the time, ultimately there's only one guy they have to watch out for, who will determine their fortunes: the consumer. The real race to quench his thirst has just begun
2013-2014

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
A soft drink (also called soda, pop, coke, soda pop, fizzy drink, tonic, seltzer, mineral, sparkling water, lolly water or carbonated beverage) is a beverage that typically contains water (often, but not always, carbonated water), usually a sweetener and usually a flavoring agent. The sweetener may be sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, sugar substitutes (in the case of diet drinks) or some combination of these. Soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives and other ingredients Soft drinks are called "soft" in contrast to "hard drinks" (alcoholic beverages). Small amounts of alcohol may be present in a soft drink, but the alcohol content must be less than 0.5% of the total volume if the drink is to be considered non-alcoholic. Fruit juice, tea and other such nonalcoholic beverages are technically soft drinks by this definition but are not generally referred to as such. Soft drinks may be served chilled or at room temperature, and some, such as Dr. Pepper, can be served warm. The first marketed soft drinks in the Western world appeared in the 17th century. They were made of water and lemon juice sweetened with honey. In 1676, the Compagnie des Limonadiers of Paris was granted a monopoly for the sale of lemonade soft drinks. Vendors carried tanks of lemonade on their backs and dispensed cups of the soft drink to thirsty Parisians

The entry of carbonated soil drink into the Indian soil is relatively new. The credit for introducing branded soil drink goes to pure drinks private Ltd, Delhi. Later this company became the franchised bottler of Coca-Cola Export Corporation. Accordingly, in 1950 Coca Cola made its first debut in the Indian market. This is the story about the origin of soft drinks in India. After Coca-Cola, Pepsi entered into the market. The exit of Pepsi made coke the undisputed leader in the soft drinks market. This company too was forced to leave India due to its non-compliance with the rules and regulations of the Government in 1977. The exit of coke becomes a boom to national manufactures and all the players started increasing their business. Among the many national players like pure drinks Me Dowels, Modem foods, Spencer's and parley, Parle emerged as the leader in the Indian soft drink market. It is believed that by the end of 1989. Parle captured more than 75% of the national soft drink market. In 1990, Pepsi reentered India and started making more noise in the market. All the same, it grabbed considerable market share from parley. Besides this, Coke also reentered India after 16 years of exile, fearing that, it cannot cling to its market leadership. Parle sold itself to Coca-Cola for $40 Million November, 1993.
By buying over local competition the two American Cola giant share cleared up the arena and are packing all their power behind building the Indian franchise of their global girdling brands. If Pepsi invests Rs. 300 core, Coke will be investing more than that and vice versa. The total investment is of a size and scale that the Rs. 3048 cork soft drink businesses have never seen before.

Both players see enormous potential in this country. Where swigging a carbonated beverage is still considered as treat virtually a luxury. Consequently by world standards India's per capita consumption of three servings is rock bottom less even than over neighbors Pakistan and Bangladesh. Where is four times as much so, the cola giants feel that per caps can only go up and up. As incomes improve so do life styles a pattern they have seen in many of the 195 countries they sell their universal products. This report is highly focused on providing insights about the Carbonated Soft Drinks in India where the market consists of cola products and non-cola products of which the cola segment constitutes 62%, non-cola segment is bagged with 30% and Energy Drinks Segment is 8% which has been growing at a CAGR of 29% from 2009. Furthermore the urban areas report a dramatically high consumption of aerated drinks as compared to rural areas, where Delhi is on the top of the list for Carbonated Soft Drink consumption. The report reveals the market share and size of the top players in the Industry being Coke and Pepsi with a combined Market share of 95%. The research further reveals that the Western region accounts for 32% of the Carbonated Soft drink Industry in India, in spite of a never ending rivalry, between the major players. Porters five force model has been effectively used to understand the competition situation prevailing in the Industry coupled with PEST analysis to understand the macro economic conditions of the Industry

ORGANIZATION PROFILE
COCA COLA Pvt. Ltd Coca-Cola originated as a soda fountain beverage in 1886 selling for five cents a glass. Early growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system developed that CocaCola became the world-famous brand it is today 1894 A modest start for a bold idea In a candy store in Vicksburg, Mississippi, brisk sales of the new fountain beverage called Coca-Cola impressed the store's owner, Joseph A. Biedenharn. He began bottling Coca-Cola to sell, using a common glass bottle called a Hutchinson.
Biedenharn sent a case to Asa Griggs Candler, who owned the Company. Candler thanked him but took no action. One of his nephews already had urged that Coca-Cola be bottled, but Candler focused on fountain sales. 1899 The first bottling agreement Two young attorneys from Chattanooga, Tennessee believed they could build a business around bottling Coca-Cola. In a meeting with Candler, Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead obtained exclusive rights to bottle Coca-Cola across most of the United States -for the sum of one dollar. A third Chattanooga lawyer, John T. Lupton, soon joined their venture. 1916 Birth of the Contour Bottle Bottlers worried that Coca-Cola's straight-sided bottle was easily confused with imitators. A group representing the Company and bottlers asked glass manufacturers to offer ideas for a distinctive bottle. A design from the Root Glass Company of Terre Haute, Indiana won enthusiastic approval. The Contour Bottle became one of the few packages ever granted trademark status by the U.S. Patent Office. Today, it's one of the most recognized icons in the world - even in the dark!
2013-2014
1920s Bottling overtakes fountain sales As the 1920s dawned, more than 1,000 Coca-Cola bottlers were operating in the U.S. Their ideas and zeal fueled steady growth. Six-bottle cartons were a huge hit starting in 1923. A few years later, open-top metal coolers became the forerunners of automated vending machines. By the end of the 1920s, bottle sales of Coca-Cola exceeded fountain sales. 1920s and expansion '30s International
Led by Robert W. Woodruff, chief executive officer and chairman of the Board, the Company began a major push to establish bottling operations outside the U.S. Plants were opened in France, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Belgium, Italy and South Africa. By the time World War II began, Coca-Cola was being bottled in 44 countries. 1950s Packaging innovations For the first time, consumers had choices of Coca-Cola package size and type-the traditional 6.5 ounce Contour Bottle, or larger servings including 10-, 12- and 26ounce versions. Cans were also introduced, becoming generally available in 1960.
2013-2014
1960s New brands introduced Sprite, Fanta, Fresca and TAB joined brand Coca-Cola in the 1960s. Mr. Pibb and Mello Yello were added in the 1970s. The 1980s brought diet Coke and Cherry Coke, followed by POWERaDE and Fruitopia in the 1990s. Today scores of other brands are offered to meet consumer preferences in local markets around the world. 1990s New and growing markets Political and economic changes opened vast markets that were closed or underdeveloped for decades. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Company invested heavily to build plants in Eastern Europe. As the century closed, more than $1.5 billion was committed to new bottling facilities in Africa. 21st Century The Coca-Cola bottling system grew up with roots deeply planted in local communities. This heritage serves the Company well today as consumers seek brands that honor local identity and the distinctiveness of local markets. As was true a century ago, strong locally based relationships between Coca-Cola bottlers, customers and communities are the foundation on which the entire business grows. At the core of our business in India, as in the rest of the world is our production and distribution network, which we call the Coca-Cola system. Globally, the Coca-Cola system includes our Company and more than 300 bottling partners. The Coca-Cola Company manufactures and sells concentrate and beverage bases. Our authorized bottlers combine our concentrate or beverage bases as the case may be with sweetener (depending on the product), water or carbonated water to produce finished beverages. These finished beverages are packaged in authorized containers bearing our trademarks -- such as cans, refillable glass bottles, non-refillable PET bottles and tetra packs -- and are then sold to wholesalers or retailers. In India, additionally, the Company also sells certain powdered beverage mixes such as Vitingo.
2013-2014
Our beverages reach our ultimate consumers through our customers: the grocers, small retailers, hypermarkets, restaurants, convenience stores and millions of other businesses that are the final points of distribution in the Coca-Cola system. What truly defines the Coca-Cola system, and indeed what makes it unique among businesses, is our ability to create value for our customers and consumers. In India, the Coca-Cola system comprises of a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company namely Coca-Cola India Pvt Ltd which manufactures and sells concentrate and beverage bases and powdered beverage mixes, a Company-owned bottling entity, namely, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd; thirteen licensed bottling partners of The Coca-Cola Company, who are authorized to prepare, package, sell and distribute beverages under certain specified trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company; and an extensive distribution system comprising of our customers, distributors and retailers. Coca-Cola India Private Limited sells concentrate and beverage bases to authorized bottlers who use these to produce our portfolio of beverages. These authorized bottlers independently develop local markets and distribute beverages to grocers, small retailers, supermarkets, restaurants and numerous other businesses. In turn, these customers make our beverages available to consumers across India.

Profile of Business in BELLARY

Bellary is a historic city in Bellary District in Karnataka state, India.Bellary has a semi-arid climate. The city stands in the midst of a wide, level plain of black cotton soil. As the city lies in the rain shadow region of the Western Ghats, it receives little rain from the southwest monsoon. Temperatures remain high from the months of March to mid-June, with highest temperature recorded at 44.9 C (110 F). In this hot region there is a huge demand for cold drinks especially during summers where the water availability is very less. So Mr. GOPAL KRISHNA AGARWAL decided to open a small retail outlet named RADHIKA SWEETS. This outlet was opened 30 years ago. This outlet had both cold drinks and a verity of sweets and it is located at mothi circle of Bellary city which is also a main pass by and commercial area.

HEALTH EFFECTS AND CRITICISMS The consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, dental caries, and low nutrient levels. Experimental studies tend to support a causal role for sugar-sweetened soft drinks in these ailments, though this is challenged by other researchers. "Sugar-sweetened" includes drinks that use high-fructose corn syrup, as well as those using sucrose. Many soft drinks contain ingredients that are themselves sources of concern: caffeine is linked to anxiety and sleep disruption when consumed in excess, and some critics question the health effects of added sugars and artificial sweeteners. Sodium benzoate has been investigated by researchers at University of Sheffield as a possible cause of DNA damage and hyperactivity. Other substances have negative health effects, but are present in such small quantities that they are unlikely to pose any substantial health risk provided that the beverages are consumed only in moderation. In 1998, the Center for Science in the Public Interest published a report titled Liquid Candy: How Soft Drinks are Harming Americans' Health. The report examined statistics relating to the increase in soft drink consumption and claimed that consumption is "likely contributing to health problems." It also criticized marketing efforts by soft drink companies. Coca-Cola was India's leading soft drink until 1977 when it left India after a new government ordered the company to turn over its secret formula for Coca-Cola and dilute its stake in its Indian unit as required by the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA). In 1993, the company (along with PepsiCo) returned after the introduction of India's Liberalization policy In India, there exists widespread concern over how Coca-Cola is produced. In particular, it is feared that the water used to produce Coke may contain unhealthy levels of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. It has also been alleged that due to the amount of water required to produce Coca-Cola, aquifers are drying up and forcing farmers to relocate

CUSTOMERS REALLY IMPORTANT!! C - CARE FOR THE CUSTOMER U - UNDERSTAND THE CUSTOMER S - STUDY THE CUSTOMER T - TRUST THE CUSTOMER O - OBLIGE THE CUSTOMER M - MEET THE CUSTOMER E - EVALUATE THE CUSTOMER R - RESPOND TO THE CUSTOMER S - SELL AND WIN THE CUSTOMER Who is a Customer? A customer is the most important person in a business. A customer is someone who brings his expectations to the organization, and it is their job to fulfill it. A customer is the life blood of any business A customer is a person who does a favor to the company by calling on them, but they do not do so by serving in return. A customer is not dependent on the organization; the organization is dependent on him. A customer deserves courtesy and attention. A customer is not someone to argue or match wi ts with.

Satisfaction Theactofsatisfying,orthestateofbeingsatisfied;gratificationofdesire;contentmentinpossessiona ndenjoyment;reposeofmindresultingfromcompliancewithits Customer Satisfaction Customer satisfaction, a businessterm, is a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. But that seems off when you look at the separate definitions of the two words that comprise the term. Definition of Consumer Behavior: Consumer behavior is defined as activities undertake when obtaining, consuming, and disposing of products and services. Simply stated, consumer behavior has traditionally been thought of as the study of "Why people buy". With the premise that it becomes easier to develop strategies to influence consumers once a marketer knows why people buy certain products or brands. desires ordemands.
CONSUMER BEHAVIOR or CUSTOMER SATISFACTIONalso can be defined as a field of study, focusing on consumer activities. As the study of consumer behavior has evolved, so has its scope. Historically, the study of consumer behavior focused on buyer behavior or "Why people buy". More recently, researchers and practitioners have focused on Consumption analysis, why and how people consume in addition to why and how they buy. Analysis of consumption behavior represents a broader conceptual framework than buyer behavior does because it includes issues that arise after the purchase process occurs. There are several activities included in the definition of consumer behavior obtaining, consuming, and disposing.
2013-2014
Obtaining: It refers to the activities leading up to and including the Purchase or receipt of a product. Consuming: It refers to how, where, when and under what circumstances consumers use products. Disposing: It includes how consumers get rid of products and packaging. Slav on Consumer Behavior
