after gaining experience in tea business as an owner of tea garden
in South Africa which then was mired in racial misgivings that
made the continuity of his business a futile endeavor there.

selling tea in packets under the brand name Waghbakri which he
registered as a trademark in 1934.
 In 1980, three of his grandsons Piyushbhai Desai, Pankajbhai
Desai and Raseshbhai Desai entered into the tea business and
established the Wagh Bakri brand in western India.

SOCIALISTIC EXPLANATION OF
THE LOGO
The trademark "symbolises the co-existence of the one
and all - be it rich and the not-so-rich, the strong and
the not-so-strong, the bold and the not-so-bold ..."
How WB became - a strong
REGIONAL BRAND
 The brand stands for quality.
The products’ strengths are complemented by the
Group’s marketing reach.
The Group has deep distribution reach as well. It sells
in India as well as abroad.
 The group's goodwill and acceptance among the
consumers have been built over the years by regular
delivery of good quality tea.
They have constantly focused on selling good quality
tea to their consumers. Today Wagh Bakri and its
other brands stand for quality.
 It has a state-of-the-art plant where the finest production and
packaging processes are employed. That ensures that the
colour, tastes, strength, aroma and flavour of the tea stays as
good as it is in the fields.
 Its processes have been accredited with international quality
standards.
 The group's "immaculate" distribution network had helped it
stay ahead of competition.
 They spend a lot of time and energy on their distribution
network. Most of the brands focus on cities and to some
extent the towns. They have extended this network to the
villages. They have built relationships with the shop owners
not just in the sophisticated urban localities but even in the
rustic villages.
 Wagh Bakri is a strong regional player. Its strength lies
mostly in Gujarat where it has been very popular over the
years. It has become more of a tradition in that region. Wagh
Bakri has inherited it and nurtured it too. Though Wagh
Bakri has spread its wings to Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh,
but its strength is "limited" to just one State.
 It is present in the market with different variants of quality at
different price points. Their products are available from Re 1
pouches to one kg packs. They have 49 different pack sizes.
 Their products are available in cartoons, jars, pouches and
tea bags. They sell a negligible amount of loose tea but only
through their own branded outlets. They have six such outlets
in Ahmedabad.
STRATEGY
 The punchline “ RISHTEY BANAYE WAGH BAKRI
CHAI ” reinforces the brand as one of warmth , hospitality
and building relationships.
 Wagh Bakri depends largely on “consumer loyalties and
sensibilities,” in a market where local flavour rules the
roost. The formula for company’s success is that “They’re
not only familiar with local tastes and preferences but also
provide consistent quality tea to consumers.”
 Its marketing strategy is characterized by :

 High Quality Offer
 High Turnover
With the aim of expanding its market and increase its
current turnover of Rs 260 crore to Rs 375 crore by 2010
and to become a national player.
 It has entered the retail franchise format with the unveiling
of ‘Wagh Bakri Tea Lounge’ in Mumbai.
 The group is planning to foray into southern states as part
of its growth strategy. To start with, the group is planning
to introduce its flagship brand Wagh Bakri in Karnataka.
 Wagh Bakri is entering Maharashtra with its premium leaf
teas. Targeting a 15 per cent volume share in its first year
of launch, Wagh Bakri is adopting a 360-degree marketing
strategy to tap into this market.
 To gain visibility for its brands, the group is planning to
hike its advertising budget by 50 % .
 To woo consumers, the company is in the process of

rolling out an aggressive print campaign with the tag line
‘Perfect Rishtey Banaye’
 In the Rs 5,000 crore Indian branded industry , where Tata

Tea currently enjoys volume leadership while Hindustan
Unilever has value leadership , Wagh Bakri with its
national brand strategy can pose a major threat to HUL and
Tata Tea.
