GCMMF, which owns the Amul brand, launched vegetable pizzas under the SnowCap brand in 2001 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat priced between Rs. 20-25, much lower than competitors. It planned to introduce pizzas in other western Indian cities and potentially nationwide. GCMMF aimed to open 3,000 pizza retail franchise outlets across India by 2005 to sell the pizzas. A key strategy was supplying mozarella cheese at a bulk discounted rate of Rs. 140/kg compared to Rs. 146/kg in the market, allowing retailers to price pizzas lower than competitors. The goal was to make pizzas as widely consumed as ice cream through low prices that expanded the cheese market.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Amul's diversification strategy
1. Amul's Diversification Strategy
Amul's Diversification Strategy: A Pizza for Rs 20!
In early 2001, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF)1planned to leverage
its brand equity and distribution network to turn Amul2into India's biggest food brand.
Verghese Kurien, Chairman of GCMMF, set a sales target of Rs.10 bn by 2006 as against
sales of Rs 2.3 bn in 2001. In 2001, GCMMF entered the fast food market in India with the
launch of vegetable pizzas under the brand name SnowCap in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. GCMMF
was also planning to launch its pizzas in other western Indian cities like Mumbai, Surat, and
Baroda.
Depending on the response in these cities, GCMMF would decide to introduce its pizzas in
other cities in India. The pizzas were offered in four flavours: plain tomato-onion-capsicum,
fruit pizza (pineapple-topped), mushroom and 'Jain pizzas' (pizzas without onion or garlic).
GCMMF launched the pizzas in the Rs.20-25 price range. The existing players in the pizza
market, like Domino's, Pizza Hut and Nirula's offered pizzas at nothing less than Rs.39.
(Refer Exhibit I). Analysts felt that GCMMF's move would force the existing players to
reduce their prices in the long run.
GCMMF planned to open 3,000 pizza retail franchise outlets all over the country by 2005.
The pizzas would be made at the retail outlets. The technical training and the recipe for the
pizza would be provided by GCMMF. It would also negotiate with bulk suppliers of
vegetables to get these at wholesale rates. These would be provided to the retailers.
The main cost component of the pizza is the mozarella cheese. GCMMF would offer the
cheese at a bulk rate of Rs.140 per kg, compared to the market price of Rs 146 per kg, thus
saving the retailers Rs.6 per kg. GCMMF on its part would have a ready market for its
cheese products.
Analysts felt that the supply of cheese products by GCMMF at a cheaper price would enable
the retailers to price pizzas lower than that of the competitors. R S Khanna, General
Manager-North zone, said that GCMMF intended to do to pizza what it had already done to
ice cream. He said, "We want pizzas to become a mass consumption item. And as in the
case of ice cream, we will force pizza manufacturers to slash prices. Eventually, this would
expand the market for cheese."
Background
In 1996, B M Vyas, Managing Director, GCMMF, commissioned the Indian Market Research
Bureau (IMRB) to conduct a consumer survey to identify the products consumers wanted
from Amul. Based on the findings, Amul entered into the following areas: ice cream, curd,
paneer3, cheese, and condensed milk. (Refer Exhibit II for Amul's product portfolio). In
1997, Amul launched ice creams after Hindustan Lever acquired Kwality, Milkfood and
Dollops4. Positioned as the 'Real Ice-cream,' Amul Ice cream was one of the few milk-based
ice creams in the market.
2. With GCMMF gradually expanding its distribution reach, Amul was all set to strengthen its
share in the ice cream segment. (Refer Exhibit III for market share). In August 1999, Amul
launched branded yoghurt in India for the first time, when it test marketed "Masti Dahi" in
Ahmedabad first and then introduced it all over the country. "Masti Dahi" was plain yoghurt
sold in plastic cups. Each 400 gm cup was priced at Rs 12.
In January 2000, Amul re-entered5 the carton milk market6 with the launch of "Amul Taaza"
in Mumbai. Amul Taaza was non-sweetened, plain, low fat milk. The product was positioned
as a lifestyle as well as functional product. It was targeted at the upper middle class
housewife who could use it for different occasions. Amul was targeting sales of about 0.1
mn litres per day. In November 2000, Amul decided to promote mozzarella cheese, which
was used in pizza.
The growing demand for mozzarella cheese from pizza making companies like Pizza Hut and
Domino's Pizza was expected to give Amul's cheese sale an additional push.
1] GCMMF was India's largest food products marketing organisation based at Anand, Gujarat. GCMMF
had annual sales of more than Rs 22 bn in 2000-01. It is a state level apex body of milk cooperatives
in Gujarat. GCMMF has 14 affiliated dairy plants with a total milk handling capacity of 6 mn litres per
day and milk drying capacity of 450 Mt per day. With 12 milk processing units, each located at the
district level, GCMMF has a membership of 2 mn farmers who belong to 10, 000 village dairy co-
operative societies.
2] Amul is the mother brand of GCMMF. 3] Paneer or cottage fresh cheese is made from low fat milk,
without involving long, complicated procedures. It is rich in proteins.
4] In 1993, HLL acquired Dollops Icecream from Cadbury's India. In 1994, BBLIL launched the Wall's
range of frozen desserts. By the end of the year, HLL entered into a strategic alliance with the Kwality
group. In 1995, the Milkfood icecream marketing and distribution rights were acquired by HLL.
5] In 1983, Amul had introduced branded milk in 500-ml tetrahedron-shaped packs priced at Rs.4.50
and one litre rectangular packs at Rs.9. Amul felt that the tetrahedron pack was well ahead of its time,
which was why it was not accepted in 1983. Moreover, the packaging was not convenient and it was
difficult to store.
6] The three main players in the Rs.360 bn packaged milk market are Amul, Nestle and Vijaya. The
market is important to all three. Nestle is looking at a Rs.1.50 bn business from milk alone by 2004.
Amul Taaza is expected to be a Rs.1 bn brand by 2001, and Vijaya could achieve Rs.1.2 bn sales from
packaged milk. Amul is investing Rs.300 mn in two new factories in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Nestle is targeting the south as a potential big milk market. Nestle is setting up two more plants
(amount invested yet to be revealed) in the southern region and is aggressive on the price front,
pegging its Pure Milk brand at Rs 20 a litre against Amul Taaza's Rs.22.
7] A flat unleavened bread made from flour, water and clarified butter.
8] A deep-fried fritter made by dipping pieces of vegetable, meat or shellfish in chickpea flour batter
and generally eaten as a snack.
9] Amul's chocolate portfolio includes brands like Amul Bitter, Amul Premium, Amul Crisp, Amul Fruit
& Nut, Amul Badam Bar, Amul Milk and Amul Crunch.
10] Amul followed a strategy of roping in cooperatives to aid growth around the country. Amul ice
cream is now manufactured in seven locations across the country. Pune Milk Cooperative and Akluj
Dairy (near Baramati in Maharashtra) have been roped in to sell 0.2 mn litres of milk per day under
the Amul brand name in Mumbai. In TamilNadu, Salem Dairy has signed up to produce milk and ghee
under the Amul brand name.
3. In July 2001, Amul planned to enter the instant coffee market through a tie-up with Tata
Coffee. GCMMF had a strong national distribution network while Tata Coffee had expertise in
manufacturing and marketing coffee. As a part of the tie-up, Amul was to source the instant
coffee from Tata Coffee and distribute it.
The domestic coffee market was estimated at Rs.11bn, with the instant coffee segment
being around Rs.4.5bn. In August 2001, Amul decided to enter the ready-to-eat stuffed
paratha,7 cheeseburger, cheese and paneer pakoda8, and cheese sandwich segments. The
products were to be marketed under the SnowCap brand. The SnowCap brand would also
include tomato sauce and ketchup.
Amul was also restructuring its chocolates business9. Seven of its brands that were
withdrawn from the market were to be relaunched soon. Amul tied up with Campco, the
cocoa and arecanuts farmers' cooperative in Karnataka and Kerala, for the supply of cocoa
beans.10 Amul marketed Milklairs, which was manufactured by Campco. This tie-up was
expected to help Amul in the expansion of its chocolate business.
Why Diversify?
With the liberalization of the Indian economy in the early 1990s, and the subsequent entry
of new players, there was a change in lifestyles and the food tastes of people. The new
team that took over the management of the GCMMF in the mid-1990s hoped to take
advantage of the change. The management adopted Total Quality Management (TQM) and
set for itself higher benchmarks (in terms of growth). They also diversified the Amul
portfolio, offering a range of food stuffs such as ketchup, jam, ice-cream, confectionaries,
cheese, and shrikhand.11
According to some analysts, this diversification was probably not entirely demand-driven.
Being a cooperative, GCMMF was compelled to buy all the milk that was produced in
Gujarat. And with milk production having increased since the mid 1990s, GCMMF had to
make use of additional milk, and hence the pressure to make and market more and more
processed-milk products. Amul had to expand the consumption base of milk-based products
in India. It planned to make its products (butter and cheese) a part of the regular diet in
most households.
Amul launched its new products with the intention of increasing the offtake of its basic milk
products, including cheese. This in turn was expected to increase the earnings of the
farmers. The pizzas were expected to increase the sale of its cheese. The entry into the
confectioneries market was another avenue for increasing milk consumption. This flurry of
launches helped Amul broaden its appeal across all segments. Price was an advantage that
Amul enjoyed over its competitors. Amul's products were priced 20-40 % less than those of
its competitors.
Analysts felt that Amul could price its products low because of the economies of scale it
enjoyed. Amul created two new distribution set-ups: a cold chain for ice-cream, and another
for limited life fresh foods like curd. Expecting the demand for ready-to- eat foods to grow,
Amul prepared to leverage the ice-cream cold chain for a new range of frozen foods,
beginning with pizza. However, some analysts felt that as the pizza's would be made by the
retailers, Amul would have little control over the quality of the pizzas. That was why Amul
was marketing the pizzas under the brand name SnowCap.
4. Said S K Bhalla, Chief of Quality Control, "The product has received premature hype.
Meeting consumer expectations will be a challenge, until we make the frozen pizza in our
own facilities." According to some analysts, Amul's obsession with keeping down manpower
costs and dealer commissions could be a weakness. In ice-creams for example, Amul's retail
commission in Ahmedabad city was 17.5% which was 10% lower than what competitors
offered.
They also pointed out that Amul might not have the financial muscle that multinationals had
to achieve rapid growth. However, all said and done, Amul seemed to be all set to make
steady progress in the coming years with its products having become quite popular in both
rural and urban households. Said Vyas, "We've handled liberalisation and globalisation far
better than our transnational rivals. It has made us fitter than ever."
