EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The primary objective of the project was to understand the distribution channel
and understanding the retail network of Amul and problems thereby faced. The
duration of the project was from 02 May 2019 to 30 June 2019.The project
begin by introducing various categories of Amul fresh products to us. A brief
introduction about the work that needs to be done during the 2 months’ time
period was given by our mentor.

I was assigned with the task of working on Up-country region i.e. Dahanu to
Vaitarna area. Various activities were done during these 2 months internship
starting from retailing, maintaining the customer relationship, understanding the
consumer behaviour, Amul tracking and various other activities.During the
initial period of internship I was involved in doing the retailing work covering
approximately 400 retail shops along with doing the amul tracking.while doing
the retailing we tried to solve the problems faced by the retailers. Some of the
problems were:
1) Less margin.
2) Leakage problem.
3) Distribution problem.
4) No schemes.

While working I got to know about the various competitors of Amul such as
Govardhan, Gokul, Patanjali to name a few, schemes offered by them and
despite being so many competitors offering various schemes why Amul is still a
preferred choice for the consumers. We tried to push or rather increase the sales
of buffalo and cow milk by targeting mainly dairies.

After completing the retailing and tracking work, I started working on my


project “creation of data base of home delivery boys in order to strengthen the
home delivery network” which was assigned to me by our branch manager Mr.
Gaurav Mohta. After working on this project for around 2 weeks covering all
the areas from Dahanu to Vaitarna which is almost(60 kms), I managed to
generate sample data of around 10-15.As Up country is not much developed

7
market, the concept of home delivery is not in great demand over here.People
who are doing the home delivery work are mostly selling only the Amul brand.

PRODUCT PORTFOLIO OF AMUL:

Amul is the biggest brand in dairy industry. It has varied range of products
available under its GCMMF brand. Apart from covering major share in dairy
products it also has some products which are not included under dairy industry.

13
Working Model of Amul:

Amul believes in serving to its people. Amul is fully attributed for the welfare
of the farmers. Farmers are the real owners of Amul. It is a cooperative firm
with a blend of professionalism. The whole model of amul basically works in
three tiers viz. the village society procurement unit, the union-which is also a
processing unit and the federation which is a marketing unit. In order to manage
the unit effectively and efficiently, the leaders felt there is a need of
professionalism. The professionals of amul has a hierarchy similar to the
corporate structure with the managing director as their head.

As Amul is a brand driven for the welfare of its farmers, its board of directors
includes farmers from various societies, and these farmers plays a major role in
selecting the Managing Director (MD).

15
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY:
Operational efficiency of a firm is greatly influenced by the strategy adopted
by the firm. It also depends upon the Mission and objective of a firm. Priorities
must be clearly defined in order to increase the efficiency of the operational
activities of a firm. Design must follow the strategy, the strategies can be
implemented only if we have a proper organizational design.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH DESIGN:
The research design refers to the strategy choose to integrate different
components of study in a precise and logical manner.
The initial part of the study was spent on doing the exploratory study by doing
retailing work so as to get a clear understanding of what are the different factors
that influence the sales of a particular product and retailers were asked questions
regarding the same, variables were defined and then the research was converted
to descriptive type.

SAMPLING PROCESS:
Simple random process of sampling was followed. As the up-country market is
mostly inclined towards rural area, people living over here generally do not
believe in the concept of home delivery, rather they prefer buying from the
retail or supermarket stores. Data of around 12 home delivery boys were used
for analysing and interpreting the result.

DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES:


Qualitative research technique was used for the project because the project
mainly involved understanding the distribution network of home delivery boys.

20
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

AREA OF RURAL MARKET:


The concept of home delivery is not in great demand in up country as people
mostly preferred buying from the retail stores.

LACK OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPETITORS:


Some people were not willing to give information about what are the other
brands they sell and quantities of sales.

LOW PROFIT MARGIN AND OTHER THINGS:


Few people were not willing to give information due to the low profit
margin in amul products, lack of replacement policy and other issues.

REASONS FOR LACK OF SALE OF OTHER
PRODUCTS

From the research it has been concluded that most of the home delivery boys
were only selling Amul taaza and not the other products of amul. The reason for
lack of selling of other products is being listed below.

STORAGE PROBLEM: As most of the home delivery boys do delivery


only in the morning, they do not have anything to store their products due to
which they are not willing to buy other fresh products of amul.

LESS MARGIN: Margin issue is one of the key factors behind less sale of
other products of amul. Home delivery boys mostly preferred amul taaza as it is
the most widely sell product of amul.

NO INTEREST FROM THE CONSUMERS: People are not willing


to pay extra for the products like paneer, dahi, etc as these are readily available
during any time of the day in the market.

IRREGULAR CONSUMPTION OF PRODUCTS: Milk is the


only thing which is required by the people on daily basis whereas
other fresh products of amul are not required on daily basis.

RECOMMENDATIONS

LISTENNG TO CUSTOMERS:
Trying to understand what the customer wants and solving the customer’s
problems is the most important thing for any organisation to grow. Sometimes
due to time constraints we are not able to solve problems faced by the
distributors or retailers. There should be more involvement with the distributors
and retailers to solve their problem to the earliest possible.

ADVERTISING:
Though amul is a most preferred brand in dairy industry, it needs to do more
advertising mainly BTL advertising to further increase its customer base. It can
also go for aggressive marketing like painting on walls, distributing banners for
promoting its new products.

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK:
Though amul has the biggest distribution network, it needs to further improve
its distribution network. For e.g. in up-country market there is a great demand
for Amul’s buffalo milk, but the product is not available readily due to lack of
supply.

CREDIT POLICY:
Introducing credit policy can increase the sales of amul to a great extent. It can
also result in reducing the competition as people buy products of other brands
mainly due to their credit policy. If amul can introduce credit policy, it will be
huge boon for its sales.

26
CONCLUSION

Amul has always been a consumer-oriented brand. Started with a mission of


serving the farmers and consumers, it has still managed to maintain that
reputation. People feel connected to amul and the kind of trust they have
towards amul cannot be compared.

These two month internship with amul has taught me a lot be it about time
management or learning about how to maintain the customer relationship. Dairy
industry being a very sensitive industry, needs careful planning and time
management to execute anything.

Following are the learnings from the internship:

 Time management is a must.


 Customer relationship management is important.
 Confidence in approaching to new people.
 Listening is more important than speaking.
 Customer will always remain a king.

Overall it was a great experience working with amul. Doing various activities
with amul be it spotting a fake amul product to spreading awareness about the
harmful effects of using fake amul products, doing retailing and pop activity
taught me a lot about how a big FMCG works, visiting amul plant gave me an
understanding about what goes behind making a product. At last all I can say is
that the Amul has a strong market presence in the Up-country market and
whatever skills I have learned during these two months internship period, I will
try to apply those skills during my professional career in future.
