Synopsis
This project was undertaken as my summer internship at GUJARAT CO-OPERATIVE
MILK MARKETING FEDERATION LIMITED. During the internship period of 45days I
worked on the topic “To find out retail gap for amul lassi and ice cream.
This project is actually focusing on awareness of people towards the ice cream and
lassi, preference of amul with comparison to other, increasing the sales of amul
and I have tried explaining the things through bar chart, diagrams.
I prepared questionnaires to do this study and after a continuous study of the market I
reach at a conclusion that retailers are not more aware with the amul products,
amul supply chain is very poor, margin percentage is too much low that‟s why
retailer are not sales the amul products . This project is a study procedure of all
activities I undertook to deal with the project topic “To find out retail gap for amul lassi
and ice cream”. And I hope I have attendant it well as per the knowledge and process.

Introduction of Project
The dairy industries companies run mainly on the factors such as availability,
service frequency, affordability, taste and marketing. Availability is plays a vital
role because purchasing power is depends upon availability of that product, in
case distributors and retailers service matter a lot. Retailing includes all activity in
selling goods or services directly to the customers or personal non- business
use. A retailer or retail store is any business enterprises whose sales volume
comes primarily from retailing.
Retailers are the part of lassi and ice cream marketing channels and perform the
work of moving goods from producers to the customers. It overcomes the time,
place and possession gap that separate goods and services from those who
needs or wants them. Retailers as member of marketing channel perform a
number of key functions. Some functions (physical, title, promotion) constitute a
forward flow of activity from the company to the customers; other function
(ordering and payment)constitute a backward flow from customers to the
company. Still other (information, negotiation, finance and risk taking) in both
directions.
The project delves into the working from the distribution aspect of an
FMCG organization, in detail. Amul, being an FMCG company, attaches a lot of
significance to the distribution aspect of its business. The distribution channel of
AMUL holds a lot of potential in affecting the demand or sales of amul products
through delivery on time, delivery of variety of products, the retailer- friendliness
of the policies being set by the distributors and equitable distribution of products
to all the retail outlets in a particular region, to name a few.
So, in order to plan retail coverage we map out the position of amul outlets, amul
parlors, and competitor‟s outlets. This project was carried out in Ajmer city. For
analyzing and presenting information that is tied to geographical location, we divided the
city in different wards. By analyzing geographical representation and sales data with
spatial distribution amul outlets, competitor‟s outlets and the density of others in an
area, we identify unexplored area and plan location outlets to increase its market
14
Penetration. Using such research we can ascertain the quality and depth of retail
penetration in specific area.
Sales promotion consists of diverse collection of incentive tools, most
short- term designed to stimulate and greater purchase of a particular product by
consumers or the trade. Whereas advertise offers a reason to buy, sales
promotion offers incentives to buy. Sales promotion includes tools for consumer
promotion (for example samples, coupons, prizes, cash refund, warranties,
demonstration, contest); trade promotion ( for example buying allowance, free
goods, merchandise allowances, co- operative advertising, advertising and
display allowances, dealer sales contests); sales force promotion(for example
bonuses, contests, sales rallies).
Sales promotion efforts are directed at final consumers and designed to
motivate persuade and remind them of the goods and receives that are offered.
This is made to learn on the job by way of association with a business organization.
This training should help us to develop a perspective of wholesome management of
business activities. This would enable us to appreciate the importance of different
business activities and see how different business activities are interrelated. So that I
will have to submit a summer training report on the organization, that I was undergo the
training and make a presentation before a panel faculty members.
Basically I was done my summer internship in marketing field, in this my working in first
25 days was to sale the products on the store and rest of the days I was done the
promotional activities through canopy activation in different places.

Company profile
The birth of amul
It all began when milk became a symbol of protest
Founded in 1946to stop exploitation by middlemen
Inspired by the freedom movement
The seeds of this unusual saga were sown more than Years back in anand, a small
town in the state of Gujarat in western india. The exploitation trade practices followed by
the local trade cartel triggered off the cooperative movement. Angered by unfair and
manipulative practices followed by the trade, the farmers of the district approached the
great Indian patriot sardar vallabhbhai patel for a solution. He advised them to get rid of
middlemen and form their own co-operative, which would have procurement, processing
and marketing under their control.
In 1946, the farmers of this area went on a milk strike refusing to be cowed down by the
cartel. Under the inspiration of sardar patel, and the guidance of leaders like morarji
desai and tribhuvandas patel, they formed their own cooperative in 1946.
This cooperative, the kaira district co-operative milk producers union ltd. Began with just
two village dairy co-operative societies and 247litres of milk and is today better known
as amul dairy. Amul grew from strength to strength thanks to the inspired leadership of
tribhuvandas patel, the founder chairmen and the committed professionalism of dr
verghese kurien, who was entrusted the task of running the dairy from 1950.
Then the prime ministry of india, lal bahudur shastri decided that the same approach
should became the basis of a national dairy development policy. He understood that the
success of amul could be attributed to four important factors. The farmers owned the
dairy, their elected representative managed the village societies and the district union,
they employed professionals to operate the dairy and manage its business. Most
importantly , the co-operative were sensitive to the needs of farmers and responsive to
their demands.
At his instance in 1965 the national dairy development board was set up with the basic
objective of replicating the amul model. Dr kurien was chosen to head the institution as
its chairmen and asked to replicate this model throughout the country.
16
The amul model of dairy development is a three- tiered structure with the dairy
cooperative societies at the village level federated under a milk union at the district level
and a federation of member unions at the state level.
Establishment of a direct linkage between milk producers and consumers by eliminating
middlemen.
Milk producers (farmers)control procurement, processing and marketing professional
management

societies across the country. Their milk is processed in 176 district co-operative unions
and marketed by 22 state marketing federation, ensuring a better life for million

It‟s another triumph for brand amul. After emerging as India‟s topmost brand, it has
gone to win one of the world‟s most prestigious awards – the international dairy
federation marketing award (2007) for amul pro-biotic ice- cream launch.
Announcing the award on October 03, at Dublin, Ireland on the occasion of the world
dairy summit, Mr. jim begg the IDF president commented “ these campaigns are
excellent examples of the best practices in branded and generic marketing from around
the world. In markets around the world that are volatile and highly competitive, dairy
products have a role in health balanced diets, and these campaigns have demonstrated
the ability of well planned and executed marketing investment.”
GCMMF is the first and only Indian organization to receive the 2007 IDF marketing
award which covered three categories – nutri- marketing, innovation and marketing
communication. Amul pro-biotic ice-cream received the award in the nutri-marketing
category.
According to Shri B.M.Vyas , managing director , GCMMF , “we launched amul pro-
biotic ice-cream as well as amul pro-biotic sugar free ice-cream , due to the constraints
26
of the cold chain which is a pre-requisite for ice-cream distribution. In a country like india
where we have waterborne diseases like diarrhea, eating a spoonful or two of pro-biotic
ice-cream would keep the family healthy and strong. The product was launched with this
in view. We were the first in the country to introduce pro-biotic ice-cream and pro-biotic
sugar free ice-cream. We are happy that our efforts have been globally recognized by
bestowing the prestigious IDF marketing award”.
In January 2007, for the best time in india and the world GCMMF introduced the amul
range of pro-biotic and sugar free ice-cream aimed at the health- conscious and
diabetics. Probiotics are live beneficial culture which, when administered in adequate
amounts, confer a beneficial health effect on the host. They help in digestion, especially
of milk sugar(lactose). They improve the immune system, build stronger bones and are
effective in controlling travelers‟ diarrhea. They alos help in the prevention of formation
and growth of colon cancer.
GCMMF was the first organization in the country to launch pro-biotic food. In order to
educate consumers and trade about the benefits of pro-biotic ice-cream , GCMMF ran
extensive advertising and direct marketing campaigns during the year.

achievement of an organization in terms of excellence in business result, business
processes, customer satisfaction as well as societal and environment impact.
GCMMF, the apex marketing body of well known amul , sugar and dhara brands of
products is a cooperative federation of more than 2million milk producers of Gujarat.
Pioneered by Dr. verghese kurien, the father of white revolution, GCMMF is today
nation‟s largest food company with an annual turnover exceeding Rs 2300crores.
Looking at the emerging trends of liberalization and impact of WTO, The GCMMF
proactively embarked upon total quality management as a change management
initiative to strengthen all its functional processes to effectively combat emerging
competition. It undertook successfully a number of TQM initiatives like kaizen,
housekeeping, small group activities, and hoshin kanri (policy deployment)across the
organization.
Realizing that unless the TQM initiatives are accepted by the business partners, the
same would remain ineffective. As a very unique measure amul extended all the TQM
initiative to its business partners whether it was the farmer producer in the village or a
wholesale distributor in a metro town or its most sophisticated production unit.
Shri B.M. Vyas, managing director, who championed this movement realized way back
1994 that with emerging competition, doing business would become more exciting yet
extremely competitive which would require at times not only a whole set of new skills
and competencies but quick adaptability to change without much stress or turbulence.
The initiation of TQM was to work with the well known quality management initiatives
which have proven to be effective elsewhere to create a culture of transparency,
openness and leadership in the organization.
Employees of GCMMF have done more than 1.60lakhs kaizen since May, 1995 which
has impacted in bringing in a culture of continuous improvement. The housekeeping
initiatives have helped keeping the offices/warehouses neat, clean and more productive,
be it be the office premises or the godowns or even computers. More than 150 SGAs
(small group activity) have been carried out in cross functional groups to address the
problem and pain areas of the organization, be it an issue of sales, marketing, HR or IT.
The organization has implemented a customized ERP for seamless integration interface
with its dealers be it for placing order for buying its products, sharing information or for
tracking logistic of dispatch/receipt of goods.
31
One of the unique initiatives has been in terms of involvement of its wholesale dealers
in a common platform to address issues of market/customers. All the wholesale dealers
from across the country have visited anand in a unique programme caller “AMUL
YATRA”. In the next phase, the organization has already started inviting the salesmen
of these wholesale dealers for this programme. It also intends to invite the top retailers
of various cities/ towns to anand. The purpose is not as much to orient them to
GCMMF‟S business plan, but to inculcate a super-ordinate goal in their heart that when
they are associated with AMUL, they are working for a modest milk producer in the rural
hinterland of the country and that is what true progress is about. GCMMF has more
than 200Amul quality circles in the country where all the above wholesale dealers meet
in group on every third Saturday of the month to discuss their business , quality
initiatives and also pain areas. This had impacted tremendously not only in
communication but also in improving the transparency in the organization.
GCMMF has also embarked upon for last 4 year,‟hoshin kanri‟ a ployment initiative
where more than 100 officers/heads participate
twice in a year to review its business goals/
processes and implement new initiatives. These are
further cascaded to the wholesale dealers in
different territories in a two day exercise called
vision mission strategy (VMS) workshop. These
initiatives have resulted common understanding of
goals, eliminating communication barrier.
The initiative of TQM six years back has made the
organization efficient whether it be in launch of
brands, or in implementing ERP‟s or expanding its
distribution network. More striking feature of
GCMMF‟s TQM experience is the integration of its
business linkages at the village level to the forward linkage through its sales
officers/wholesale dealers in the market.
In a glittering function organized at vigyan bhawan, New Delhi on 12th
November, 2001

Project study
“Marketing in Amul Company”
“the activity set of institution and processes for creating, communicating,
delivering and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients,
partners and society at large” is called marketing.
There are 5 different concept of marketing. Each of which vary in the
function that they deal with, for example – production concept deals with production and
selling concept deals with selling. Each of the concepts was developed as per the need
of the market. As the market changed, so did the concepts of marketing.
All 5 concepts of marketing and what they represent:-
1. Production concept
2. Product concept
3. Selling concept
4. Marketing concept
5. Societal marketing concept
The Marketing strategy of Amul covers various aspects of the business right from
segmentation and targeting to the overall mission and vision of the company and the
various parameters which the company executes to become the top brand that it has in
the market.
38
It id defined as all psychological, social and physical behavior of potential
customers as they become aware, evaluate, purchase, consumer, and tell to other
about product and services.
Need of the study
 To know the customer needs
 Take feedback about the brand
 To know the current brand image
 To know the availability of the product
39
Marketing strategy
Segmentation, targeting, positioning in the Marketing strategy of Amul – The
segmentation of Amul is the mass population and in general, people of all different age
groups and demography enjoying Amul products. This is because Amul is not only
present in Ice cream, but also in Milk, Butter, Cheese and other such products. As it has
a very deep product portfolio, it does not differentiate in its customers but uses a mass
marketing principle. And till date, this principle has worked very well for the marketing
strategy of Amul. Similarly, the target audiences are the regular middle class people.
This is because higher end customers do have a lot of high end products as an
alternative in ice cream. However, for other products like Butter and cheese, both high
end and low end customers are the target. In terms of positioning, Amul has top of the
mind positioning because it is the first brand which comes in mind when talking of Ice
cream, milk, cheese, butter or any other milk based products.
We use promotional tools and data collection method for study and we work on it in
field. We take guidance from Mr. KIRTI SHARMA
And report him the daily working of 45 days at internship. Our field of working are
AMUL INDIA at AJMER,. There I interact with the retailer which were N numbers,
and take the conclude study by unstructured questions.
40
PROMOTIONAL TOOL USED AT INTERNSHIP IS “RETAILER SURVER”
FOR DATA COLLECTION WE USED
 SURVEY METHOD THROUGH FACE TO FACE
 DIRECT INTRACT WITH RETAILER
41
To ask (many people) a question or a series of questions in
order to gather information about what most people do or think
about something, to look at and measure and examine all parts of
(something).
A field of applied statistics, survey methodology studies the sampling
of individual units from a population and the associated survey data
collection techniques, such as questionnaire construction and
methods for improving the
number and accuracy of
responses to surveys.

Project analysis
The management process through which goods and
services move from concept to the customer. It includes
the coordination of four
Elements called the 4 P's of marketing:
(1) Identification, selection and development of a product.
(2) Determination of its price.
(3) Selection of a distribution channel to reach the
customer's place.
(4) Development and implementation of a promotional
strategy.
For example, new Apple products are developed to include improved applications and
systems, are set at different prices depending on how much capability the customer
desires, and are sold in places where other Apple products are sold.
In order to promote the device, the company featured its debut at tech events and is
highly advertised on the web and on television.
Marketing is based on thinking about the business in terms of customer needs and their
satisfaction. Marketing differs from selling because "Selling concerns itself with the
tricks and techniques of getting people to exchange their cash for your product. It is not
concerned with the values that the exchange is all about. And it does not, as marketing
invariable does, view the entire business process as consisting of a tightly integrated
effort to discover, create, arouse and satisfy customer needs." In other words, marketing
has less to do with getting customers to pay for your product as it does developing a
demand for that product and fulfilling the customer's needs.
44
Businesses use various marketing tools to communicate information, stimulate
customer interest and motivate action. An integrated marketing approach applies
several tactics to engage customers and build business.
Traditional Marketing
Traditional marketing is a rather broad category that incorporates many forms of
advertising and marketing. It's the most recognizable types of marketing, encompassing
the advertisements that we see and hear every day. Most traditional marketing
strategies fall under one of four categories: print, broadcast, direct mail, and telephone.
 Print: Includes advertisements in newspapers, newsletters, magazines,
brochures, and other printed material for distribution.
 Broadcast: Includes radio and television commercials, as well as specialized
forms like on-screen movie theatre advertising.
 Direct mail: Includes fliers, postcards, brochures, letters, catalos, and other
material that is printed and mailed directly to consumers.
 Telemarketing: Includes requested calling and cold calling of consumers over
the phone.
45
Because it encompasses so many different strategies, nearly every company
selling a product or service uses one or more types of traditional marketing as
part of an overall advertising strategy. For the most part, this form of advertising
depends on the company's available marketing budget.
Mid-sized companies and large corporations are most likely to use TV
commercials. Advertising on television is usually the most expensive form of
marketing, with prices depending on the time slots and programming content.
Bigger companies also use direct mail more often, as the design, printing, and
mailing expenses can add up to substantial amounts. Mid-sized and large
businesses often use all forms of traditional marketing in one way or another.
Entrepreneurs and small businesses, who may have limited marketing budgets,
most often use print marketing in newspapers or newsletters to advertise to local
customers. Many also place local radio advertisements. Some use direct mail,
and a few may employ limited telemarketing.
While network television commercials are usually out of the budget range for
smaller companies, local cable programming has made television advertising
more accessible for these types of businesses, with costs running as low as $15
for a 30-second spot, plus production expenses
46
MORDEN MARKETING
Modern Marketing is a holistic, adaptive methodology that connects brands with real
customers and drives business results by blending strategy, creative, technology,
and analysis.
Yet the fundamentals of marketing planning remain the same. Regardless of the
channels available we need to research customer needs, develop winning brand
propositions for different target segments and communicate them effectively. Using
analytics and attribution to understand how different communications touch point
influence prospects to support their purchase.
 Identifying – how can we define groups of customers as market segments and
personas?
 Anticipating – How can we use market research to identify changing and future
customers‟ needs and wants?
 Satisfying – how can we assess the drivers of customer satisfaction which
encourage customer loyalty and recommendations?
 Profitably – how do we select the right mix of services and marketing
communications using different channels to maximize our return-on-investment?
47
6 modern concepts of marketing
A) Production concept: – The companies which use the production concept generally
focus too narrowly on their own activities because according to this concept the
companies think that consumer will buy the product which comes in the market.
b) Product concept: – As per this concept companies give importance to the features
or the quality of the product because in long run the product exists only with the quality
it is giving to the consumer.
c) Selling concept: – it is not sufficient for the manufacturer to make the goods and
wait for the customers. Thus, according to this concept it is very important to inform the
consumer about the product which can be done through different ways of promotion.
48
d) Marketing concept: – consumer now a day is treated as “GOD”. So it is very
important for the manufacturer to produce the product which the consumer wants, so
that consumer get satisfaction and manufacturer earns profit.
e) Consumer concept:- now not only marketing concept is sufficient rather the
companies are using consumer concept which means to give attention to individual
consumer it can be done through one to one marketing.
f) Societal marketing concept: – this concept means that company should not only
work for the consumer but also for the society. So the company should make balance
between company‟s profits, consumer wants and society welfare.
MARKET RESEACH
Market research is any organized effort to gather information about target markets or
customers. It is a very important component of strategy. The term is commonly
interchanged with marketing research; however, expert practitioners may wish to draw a
distinction, in that marketing research is concerned specifically about marketing
processes, while market research is concerned specifically with markets.
Market research is one of the key factors used in maintaining competitiveness over
competitors. Market research provides important information to identify and analyze the
market need, market size and competition. Market-research techniques encompass
both qualitative techniques such as focus groups, in-depth interviews, and ethnography,
as well as quantitative techniques such as customer surveys, and analysis of secondary
data.
Market research, which includes social and opinion research, is the systematic
gathering and interpretation of information about individuals or organizations
49
using statistical and analytical methods and techniques of the applied social sciences to
gain insight or support decision making.
Market research is a way of getting an overview of consumers' wants, needs and
beliefs. It can also involve discovering how they act. The research can be used to
determine how a product could be marketed.
We believe that modern Indian retail rests on the strength of two pillars- scale and
efficiencies. Our retail thrust focussed on four principal verticals of food, fashion,
general merchandise and home. There 4 categories together account for 65% of the
consumption in the country and represent mass consumer aspirations.
50
The marketing mix is a business tool used in marketing and by marketers. The
marketing mix can be used when determining a product or brand‟s offer, and is often
associated with the four Ps.
In our project the 4 P‟s are:-
 Product – product related to amul furnishing like better,milk,ice-cream,lassi,ghee,
dahi ect.
 Price – price are fluctuate with occasionally and their demand and supply.
 Place- amul India, at Anand.
 Promotion- through
If any of the 4 Ps were problematic or were not in the marketing factor of the business,
the business could be in trouble, and so other companies may appear in the
surrounding of the company, so the consumer demand on its products will decreases.
At internship of starting 15 days
we do the selling work at retailer to
retailer, collect orders of ice-
cream and interact with the
retailer. For this we take the

SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT is an acronym for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and is a
structured planning method that evaluates those four elements of
a project or business venture. A SWOT analysis can be carried out for a company,
product, place, industry, or person. It involves specifying the objective of the business
venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favourable
and unfavourable to achieve that objective. Some authors credit SWOT to Albert
Humphrey, who led a convention at the Stanford Research Institute in the 1960s and
1970s using data from Fortune 500 companies. However, Humphrey himself did not
claim the creation of SWOT, and the origins remain obscure. The degree to which the
internal environment of the firm matches with the external environment is expressed by
the concept of strategic fit.
 Strengths: characteristics of the business or project that give it an advantage
over others
 Weaknesses: characteristics of the business that place the business or
project at a disadvantage relative to others
 Opportunities: elements in the environment that the business or project could
exploit to its advantage
 Threats: elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the
business or projet.
Identification of SWOTs is important because they can inform later steps in planning to
achieve the objective. First, decision-makers should consider whether the objective is
attainable, given the SWOTs. If the objective is not attainable, they must select a
different objective and repeat the process.
57
o Strengths-
 Good quality and packing.
 Amul is one top of the mind brand.
 Launched sugar free ice-cream
 Weaknesses
 Limited market share.
 Supply chain is not good.
 Opportunities
 Tip-up with food chain, restaurants.
58
 Mobile vans for better visibility.
 Threats
 Competitor
 Local ice-cream.
STRENGTHS
Strengths are the factors that are going to help you get better results.
Your company will do well if you can base your strategy around these
things. Strength is an internal factor. This means you can control it.
Things like resources, investment, and skilled labor are considered as
strengths. In SWOT analysis in marketing, you will consider the following
things as your strength:
 Brand recognition – If your company is well known by the people then it can
act as strength for your marketing strategy. You can use its name and
recognition to advertise your products for sale.
 Locationsof the business – If your company or shop is located in the city
centre then you are likely to have a very good business. It makes it convenient
for your customers to be able to visit your shop. This is a big strength that you
may have over your competitors.
 Specialistin marketing expertise – When you have an expert
in marketing then you can develop a marketing strategy quite easily. He/she will
have the required experience to form strategies based on experience. This is a
massive boost when doing a SWOT analysis in marketing.
 Introducing somethingnew – What better way to capture the market than
providing newer products? If your firm can come up with new ideas, then your
marketing strategy will be based on innovation and novelty.
WEAKNESSES
Weaknesses are also internal factors that will derail you from making
progress. When doing a SWOT analysis in marketing, you need to
consider which things will make your marketing strategy look weak and
unconvincing. The following factors can be called weaknesses:
59
 Poor distribution – If you have a poor distribution channel for your products
then you are likely to suffer. If the customers are not getting your products on
time or even on the market, then that‟s an obstacle for your marketing strategy.
 Not distinguishablefeature – You cannot stand out in the market if your
products are no different from the rest of the competitors. You need to have your
own signature or an identity.
 Lack of online presence – In the modern era, online marketing is a key way
to grab the customer‟s attention. If you are not doing enough online, then you
cannot succeed well.
OPPORTUNITIES
SWOT analysis in marketing will look at almost everything as an
opportunity. This is because you never know what events or situations
you can use as a marketing weapon. Things such as:
 Advancementin technology – If your company buys newer technology.
Or they come across newer ways to produce goods then that can be termed as
an opportunity. This will help the company to strategize on a different way.
 Increase in demand – A situation may arise when the demand for your
goods may increase both locally and internationally. If that happens, then you
need to seize the opportunity. You can advertise the fact that your good are
wanted abroad and thus create a brand name for yourself. This is smart
marketing.
 SocialEvents – Nothing increases the demand for certain goods like social
events. Gift items become hot in demand during Christmas. Fireworks are sold
every minute day before New Year‟s Eve. So when such an opportunity is
opened up, the marketing strategy should be to take full advantage of the
situation. Offer those discounts and other benefits so that your product is sold
more.
THREATS
While doing a SWOT analysis in marketing, you have to be very careful
regarding the situations that will hamper your marketing strategy. These
situations are known as threats. Threats develop come out of nowhere.
So it is better to identify them as soon as possible. That way the SWOT
analysis in marketing will have a contingency plan to thwart the threat.
The following conditions can be considered as a threat:
60
 Competitorslower price -This has to be the toughest threat to deal with. If
your competitor lowers the price of their product, then there are very few things
you can do about it. People are always likely to go for things that are less
expensive. However if your SWOT analysis in marketing has this noted down,
then you are likely to have a backup plan for it. Offering better quality or
promotional offers may help.
 Changes in consumerchoice – If your consumers all of a sudden decide
to change their choice then you are likely to be in trouble. Fashion trends are
always going to change, and this becomes a threat if you are producing the same
kind of goods or services.
 Economiccondition – Inflation, exchange rates, taxes and so on are all
economic factors. If these things change too often, then your company will be
affected in the negative way. Doing a SWOT analysis in marketing will require
you to keep such things on mind and come up ways to avoid them.
61
RECOMMENDATIONS
AMUL INDIA is a great learning company for interns. AMUL INDIA is a LARGE STORE
and helps interns improve and develops their skills. I would recommend AMUL INDIA to
keep hiring interns with different educational background, to help build and improve the
company with the knowledge they gained from their studies.
The part that I found most interesting during my internship is the social media. During
my studies I mostly learned how to use the communication tools for promotional
activities. Even when describing the use of internet during projects. The communication
tools TV, radio and magazine are of course effective if you have the necessary budget.
But at AMUL I learned you can promote good and services creatively by just using the
social media tools.
 AMUL is a store where all the home FMCG products are available.
 They maintain the standard of quality in each and every product of AMUL.
 The staff of AMUL should very skilled and experienced.
The one best positive point of the AMUL is they give a very healthy environment
to the employees for their work and to the customers for shop.
62
Facts and finding
o Retailers are not more aware with the amul ice-cream and lassi.
o Supply chain is very poor.
o Margin percentage is low.
63
LIMITATIONS
It is my first internship project so due to curiosity i put my whole efforts on this project.
But still are certain limitations while doing the work.
Some of the limitations are:-
 One of the biggest limitations with this project work is the time factor.
 There might have been tendencies among the respondant to amplifying or filter their
responses underthe testing.
 In some cases, the customers was not giving the proper reply. He/she might think
that this is only wastage of time or this might create some problem etc.
 Unavailibilty of some information due to the lack of awareness of customers in these
area.
64
CONCLUSION
The past months of my internship have been very instructive for me. AMUL INDIA has
offered me opportunities to learn and develop myself in many areas. I gained a lot of
experience, especially in the Marketing field. A lot of the tasks and activities that I have
worked on during my internship are familiar with what I‟m studying at the moment. I
worked in many areas where I did different work. This gave me the chance to find out
which areas I want work in after my education. The area that I found most interesting is
marketing & communication. By developing a marketing plan, I had to do lots of
research where I had to find the best way of marketing. I learned many things about
viral marketing by using and learning about social media tools.
As a bonus, I got to experience the event marketing process. I learned how the
marketing and promotional activities occur. I also learned how the administrational
process occurs by maintaining contact with the venue, vendors.
During my One and a half month of internship, I want to actively contribute to the
company‟s objectives by applying the knowledge I obtained during my education such
as the important aspects of communication including marketing communication,
advertising, PR, media, written communication, information, organisation and
management.
During my One and a half month internship, I want to improve my English language by
working along with my colleagues and communicating with the clients of the internship
company.
I realized that the marketing for a product is very essential in the process of positioning
in the market of a product to the selling of it.
The products are selling on the basis of region and the area of market.
Overall we say that if we are in modern world with it the marketing should also be
modern marketing.

    6 Synopsis This project wasundertaken as my summer internship at GUJARAT CO-OPERATIVE MILK MARKETING FEDERATION LIMITED. During the internship period of 45days I worked on the topic “To find out retail gap for amul lassi and ice cream. This project is actually focusing on awareness of people towards the ice cream and lassi, preference of amul with comparison to other, increasing the sales of amul and I have tried explaining the things through bar chart, diagrams. I prepared questionnaires to do this study and after a continuous study of the market I reach at a conclusion that retailers are not more aware with the amul products, amul supply chain is very poor, margin percentage is too much low that‟s why retailer are not sales the amul products . This project is a study procedure of all activities I undertook to deal with the project topic “To find out retail gap for amul lassi and ice cream”. And I hope I have attendant it well as per the knowledge and process.

    13 Introduction of Project Thedairy industries companies run mainly on the factors such as availability, service frequency, affordability, taste and marketing. Availability is plays a vital role because purchasing power is depends upon availability of that product, in case distributors and retailers service matter a lot. Retailing includes all activity in selling goods or services directly to the customers or personal non- business use. A retailer or retail store is any business enterprises whose sales volume comes primarily from retailing. Retailers are the part of lassi and ice cream marketing channels and perform the work of moving goods from producers to the customers. It overcomes the time, place and possession gap that separate goods and services from those who needs or wants them. Retailers as member of marketing channel perform a number of key functions. Some functions (physical, title, promotion) constitute a forward flow of activity from the company to the customers; other function (ordering and payment)constitute a backward flow from customers to the company. Still other (information, negotiation, finance and risk taking) in both directions. The project delves into the working from the distribution aspect of an FMCG organization, in detail. Amul, being an FMCG company, attaches a lot of significance to the distribution aspect of its business. The distribution channel of AMUL holds a lot of potential in affecting the demand or sales of amul products through delivery on time, delivery of variety of products, the retailer- friendliness of the policies being set by the distributors and equitable distribution of products to all the retail outlets in a particular region, to name a few. So, in order to plan retail coverage we map out the position of amul outlets, amul parlors, and competitor‟s outlets. This project was carried out in Ajmer city. For analyzing and presenting information that is tied to geographical location, we divided the city in different wards. By analyzing geographical representation and sales data with spatial distribution amul outlets, competitor‟s outlets and the density of others in an area, we identify unexplored area and plan location outlets to increase its market
  • 14.
    14 Penetration. Using suchresearch we can ascertain the quality and depth of retail penetration in specific area. Sales promotion consists of diverse collection of incentive tools, most short- term designed to stimulate and greater purchase of a particular product by consumers or the trade. Whereas advertise offers a reason to buy, sales promotion offers incentives to buy. Sales promotion includes tools for consumer promotion (for example samples, coupons, prizes, cash refund, warranties, demonstration, contest); trade promotion ( for example buying allowance, free goods, merchandise allowances, co- operative advertising, advertising and display allowances, dealer sales contests); sales force promotion(for example bonuses, contests, sales rallies). Sales promotion efforts are directed at final consumers and designed to motivate persuade and remind them of the goods and receives that are offered. This is made to learn on the job by way of association with a business organization. This training should help us to develop a perspective of wholesome management of business activities. This would enable us to appreciate the importance of different business activities and see how different business activities are interrelated. So that I will have to submit a summer training report on the organization, that I was undergo the training and make a presentation before a panel faculty members. Basically I was done my summer internship in marketing field, in this my working in first 25 days was to sale the products on the store and rest of the days I was done the promotional activities through canopy activation in different places.

    15 Company profile The birthof amul It all began when milk became a symbol of protest Founded in 1946to stop exploitation by middlemen Inspired by the freedom movement The seeds of this unusual saga were sown more than Years back in anand, a small town in the state of Gujarat in western india. The exploitation trade practices followed by the local trade cartel triggered off the cooperative movement. Angered by unfair and manipulative practices followed by the trade, the farmers of the district approached the great Indian patriot sardar vallabhbhai patel for a solution. He advised them to get rid of middlemen and form their own co-operative, which would have procurement, processing and marketing under their control. In 1946, the farmers of this area went on a milk strike refusing to be cowed down by the cartel. Under the inspiration of sardar patel, and the guidance of leaders like morarji desai and tribhuvandas patel, they formed their own cooperative in 1946. This cooperative, the kaira district co-operative milk producers union ltd. Began with just two village dairy co-operative societies and 247litres of milk and is today better known as amul dairy. Amul grew from strength to strength thanks to the inspired leadership of tribhuvandas patel, the founder chairmen and the committed professionalism of dr verghese kurien, who was entrusted the task of running the dairy from 1950. Then the prime ministry of india, lal bahudur shastri decided that the same approach should became the basis of a national dairy development policy. He understood that the success of amul could be attributed to four important factors. The farmers owned the dairy, their elected representative managed the village societies and the district union, they employed professionals to operate the dairy and manage its business. Most importantly , the co-operative were sensitive to the needs of farmers and responsive to their demands. At his instance in 1965 the national dairy development board was set up with the basic objective of replicating the amul model. Dr kurien was chosen to head the institution as its chairmen and asked to replicate this model throughout the country.

    30 or giving atough fight to best of the food companies in extremely competitive segment, it has now topped as the winner of the “best of all” Rajiv Gandhi national quality award for the year, 1999. The award which is considered equivalent of Malcolm baldrige national quality award of USA and European quality award, is the most prestigious award which recognizes achievement of an organization in terms of excellence in business result, business processes, customer satisfaction as well as societal and environment impact. GCMMF, the apex marketing body of well known amul , sugar and dhara brands of products is a cooperative federation of more than 2million milk producers of Gujarat. Pioneered by Dr. verghese kurien, the father of white revolution, GCMMF is today nation‟s largest food company with an annual turnover exceeding Rs 2300crores. Looking at the emerging trends of liberalization and impact of WTO, The GCMMF proactively embarked upon total quality management as a change management initiative to strengthen all its functional processes to effectively combat emerging competition. It undertook successfully a number of TQM initiatives like kaizen, housekeeping, small group activities, and hoshin kanri (policy deployment)across the organization. Realizing that unless the TQM initiatives are accepted by the business partners, the same would remain ineffective. As a very unique measure amul extended all the TQM initiative to its business partners whether it was the farmer producer in the village or a wholesale distributor in a metro town or its most sophisticated production unit. Shri B.M. Vyas, managing director, who championed this movement realized way back 1994 that with emerging competition, doing business would become more exciting yet extremely competitive which would require at times not only a whole set of new skills and competencies but quick adaptability to change without much stress or turbulence. The initiation of TQM was to work with the well known quality management initiatives which have proven to be effective elsewhere to create a culture of transparency, openness and leadership in the organization. Employees of GCMMF have done more than 1.60lakhs kaizen since May, 1995 which has impacted in bringing in a culture of continuous improvement. The housekeeping initiatives have helped keeping the offices/warehouses neat, clean and more productive, be it be the office premises or the godowns or even computers. More than 150 SGAs (small group activity) have been carried out in cross functional groups to address the problem and pain areas of the organization, be it an issue of sales, marketing, HR or IT. The organization has implemented a customized ERP for seamless integration interface with its dealers be it for placing order for buying its products, sharing information or for tracking logistic of dispatch/receipt of goods.

    31 One of theunique initiatives has been in terms of involvement of its wholesale dealers in a common platform to address issues of market/customers. All the wholesale dealers from across the country have visited anand in a unique programme caller “AMUL YATRA”. In the next phase, the organization has already started inviting the salesmen of these wholesale dealers for this programme. It also intends to invite the top retailers of various cities/ towns to anand. The purpose is not as much to orient them to GCMMF‟S business plan, but to inculcate a super-ordinate goal in their heart that when they are associated with AMUL, they are working for a modest milk producer in the rural hinterland of the country and that is what true progress is about. GCMMF has more than 200Amul quality circles in the country where all the above wholesale dealers meet in group on every third Saturday of the month to discuss their business , quality initiatives and also pain areas. This had impacted tremendously not only in communication but also in improving the transparency in the organization. GCMMF has also embarked upon for last 4 year,‟hoshin kanri‟ a ployment initiative where more than 100 officers/heads participate twice in a year to review its business goals/ processes and implement new initiatives. These are further cascaded to the wholesale dealers in different territories in a two day exercise called vision mission strategy (VMS) workshop. These initiatives have resulted common understanding of goals, eliminating communication barrier. The initiative of TQM six years back has made the organization efficient whether it be in launch of brands, or in implementing ERP‟s or expanding its distribution network. More striking feature of GCMMF‟s TQM experience is the integration of its business linkages at the village level to the forward linkage through its sales officers/wholesale dealers in the market. In a glittering function organized at vigyan bhawan, New Delhi on 12th November, 2001 Shri shanta Kumar, hon‟ble minister of consumer affairs, food and public distribution gave away the awards to Shri B.M.

    37 Project study “Marketing inAmul Company” “the activity set of institution and processes for creating, communicating, delivering and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners and society at large” is called marketing. There are 5 different concept of marketing. Each of which vary in the function that they deal with, for example – production concept deals with production and selling concept deals with selling. Each of the concepts was developed as per the need of the market. As the market changed, so did the concepts of marketing. All 5 concepts of marketing and what they represent:- 1. Production concept 2. Product concept 3. Selling concept 4. Marketing concept 5. Societal marketing concept The Marketing strategy of Amul covers various aspects of the business right from segmentation and targeting to the overall mission and vision of the company and the various parameters which the company executes to become the top brand that it has in the market.
  • 38.
    38 It id definedas all psychological, social and physical behavior of potential customers as they become aware, evaluate, purchase, consumer, and tell to other about product and services. Need of the study  To know the customer needs  Take feedback about the brand  To know the current brand image  To know the availability of the product
  • 39.
    39 Marketing strategy Segmentation, targeting,positioning in the Marketing strategy of Amul – The segmentation of Amul is the mass population and in general, people of all different age groups and demography enjoying Amul products. This is because Amul is not only present in Ice cream, but also in Milk, Butter, Cheese and other such products. As it has a very deep product portfolio, it does not differentiate in its customers but uses a mass marketing principle. And till date, this principle has worked very well for the marketing strategy of Amul. Similarly, the target audiences are the regular middle class people. This is because higher end customers do have a lot of high end products as an alternative in ice cream. However, for other products like Butter and cheese, both high end and low end customers are the target. In terms of positioning, Amul has top of the mind positioning because it is the first brand which comes in mind when talking of Ice cream, milk, cheese, butter or any other milk based products. We use promotional tools and data collection method for study and we work on it in field. We take guidance from Mr. KIRTI SHARMA And report him the daily working of 45 days at internship. Our field of working are AMUL INDIA at AJMER,. There I interact with the retailer which were N numbers, and take the conclude study by unstructured questions.

    43 Project analysis The managementprocess through which goods and services move from concept to the customer. It includes the coordination of four Elements called the 4 P's of marketing: (1) Identification, selection and development of a product. (2) Determination of its price. (3) Selection of a distribution channel to reach the customer's place. (4) Development and implementation of a promotional strategy. For example, new Apple products are developed to include improved applications and systems, are set at different prices depending on how much capability the customer desires, and are sold in places where other Apple products are sold. In order to promote the device, the company featured its debut at tech events and is highly advertised on the web and on television. Marketing is based on thinking about the business in terms of customer needs and their satisfaction. Marketing differs from selling because "Selling concerns itself with the tricks and techniques of getting people to exchange their cash for your product. It is not concerned with the values that the exchange is all about. And it does not, as marketing invariable does, view the entire business process as consisting of a tightly integrated effort to discover, create, arouse and satisfy customer needs." In other words, marketing has less to do with getting customers to pay for your product as it does developing a demand for that product and fulfilling the customer's needs.
  • 44.
    44 Businesses use variousmarketing tools to communicate information, stimulate customer interest and motivate action. An integrated marketing approach applies several tactics to engage customers and build business. Traditional Marketing Traditional marketing is a rather broad category that incorporates many forms of advertising and marketing. It's the most recognizable types of marketing, encompassing the advertisements that we see and hear every day. Most traditional marketing strategies fall under one of four categories: print, broadcast, direct mail, and telephone.  Print: Includes advertisements in newspapers, newsletters, magazines, brochures, and other printed material for distribution.  Broadcast: Includes radio and television commercials, as well as specialized forms like on-screen movie theatre advertising.  Direct mail: Includes fliers, postcards, brochures, letters, catalos, and other material that is printed and mailed directly to consumers.  Telemarketing: Includes requested calling and cold calling of consumers over the phone.
  • 45.
    45 Because it encompassesso many different strategies, nearly every company selling a product or service uses one or more types of traditional marketing as part of an overall advertising strategy. For the most part, this form of advertising depends on the company's available marketing budget. Mid-sized companies and large corporations are most likely to use TV commercials. Advertising on television is usually the most expensive form of marketing, with prices depending on the time slots and programming content. Bigger companies also use direct mail more often, as the design, printing, and mailing expenses can add up to substantial amounts. Mid-sized and large businesses often use all forms of traditional marketing in one way or another. Entrepreneurs and small businesses, who may have limited marketing budgets, most often use print marketing in newspapers or newsletters to advertise to local customers. Many also place local radio advertisements. Some use direct mail, and a few may employ limited telemarketing. While network television commercials are usually out of the budget range for smaller companies, local cable programming has made television advertising more accessible for these types of businesses, with costs running as low as $15 for a 30-second spot, plus production expenses
  • 46.
    46 MORDEN MARKETING Modern Marketingis a holistic, adaptive methodology that connects brands with real customers and drives business results by blending strategy, creative, technology, and analysis. Yet the fundamentals of marketing planning remain the same. Regardless of the channels available we need to research customer needs, develop winning brand propositions for different target segments and communicate them effectively. Using analytics and attribution to understand how different communications touch point influence prospects to support their purchase.  Identifying – how can we define groups of customers as market segments and personas?  Anticipating – How can we use market research to identify changing and future customers‟ needs and wants?  Satisfying – how can we assess the drivers of customer satisfaction which encourage customer loyalty and recommendations?  Profitably – how do we select the right mix of services and marketing communications using different channels to maximize our return-on-investment?
  • 47.
    47 6 modern conceptsof marketing A) Production concept: – The companies which use the production concept generally focus too narrowly on their own activities because according to this concept the companies think that consumer will buy the product which comes in the market. b) Product concept: – As per this concept companies give importance to the features or the quality of the product because in long run the product exists only with the quality it is giving to the consumer. c) Selling concept: – it is not sufficient for the manufacturer to make the goods and wait for the customers. Thus, according to this concept it is very important to inform the consumer about the product which can be done through different ways of promotion.
  • 48.
    48 d) Marketing concept:– consumer now a day is treated as “GOD”. So it is very important for the manufacturer to produce the product which the consumer wants, so that consumer get satisfaction and manufacturer earns profit. e) Consumer concept:- now not only marketing concept is sufficient rather the companies are using consumer concept which means to give attention to individual consumer it can be done through one to one marketing. f) Societal marketing concept: – this concept means that company should not only work for the consumer but also for the society. So the company should make balance between company‟s profits, consumer wants and society welfare. MARKET RESEACH Market research is any organized effort to gather information about target markets or customers. It is a very important component of strategy. The term is commonly interchanged with marketing research; however, expert practitioners may wish to draw a distinction, in that marketing research is concerned specifically about marketing processes, while market research is concerned specifically with markets. Market research is one of the key factors used in maintaining competitiveness over competitors. Market research provides important information to identify and analyze the market need, market size and competition. Market-research techniques encompass both qualitative techniques such as focus groups, in-depth interviews, and ethnography, as well as quantitative techniques such as customer surveys, and analysis of secondary data. Market research, which includes social and opinion research, is the systematic gathering and interpretation of information about individuals or organizations
  • 49.
    49 using statistical andanalytical methods and techniques of the applied social sciences to gain insight or support decision making. Market research is a way of getting an overview of consumers' wants, needs and beliefs. It can also involve discovering how they act. The research can be used to determine how a product could be marketed. We believe that modern Indian retail rests on the strength of two pillars- scale and efficiencies. Our retail thrust focussed on four principal verticals of food, fashion, general merchandise and home. There 4 categories together account for 65% of the consumption in the country and represent mass consumer aspirations.
  • 50.
    50 The marketing mixis a business tool used in marketing and by marketers. The marketing mix can be used when determining a product or brand‟s offer, and is often associated with the four Ps. In our project the 4 P‟s are:-  Product – product related to amul furnishing like better,milk,ice-cream,lassi,ghee, dahi ect.  Price – price are fluctuate with occasionally and their demand and supply.  Place- amul India, at Anand.  Promotion- through If any of the 4 Ps were problematic or were not in the marketing factor of the business, the business could be in trouble, and so other companies may appear in the surrounding of the company, so the consumer demand on its products will decreases. At internship of starting 15 days we do the selling work at retailer to retailer, collect orders of ice- cream and interact with the retailer. For this we take the information and brief description about the product. My work of selling is at ice- cream and lassi of AMUL.

    56 SWOT ANALYSIS SWOT isan acronym for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and is a structured planning method that evaluates those four elements of a project or business venture. A SWOT analysis can be carried out for a company, product, place, industry, or person. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favourable and unfavourable to achieve that objective. Some authors credit SWOT to Albert Humphrey, who led a convention at the Stanford Research Institute in the 1960s and 1970s using data from Fortune 500 companies. However, Humphrey himself did not claim the creation of SWOT, and the origins remain obscure. The degree to which the internal environment of the firm matches with the external environment is expressed by the concept of strategic fit.  Strengths: characteristics of the business or project that give it an advantage over others  Weaknesses: characteristics of the business that place the business or project at a disadvantage relative to others  Opportunities: elements in the environment that the business or project could exploit to its advantage  Threats: elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the business or projet. Identification of SWOTs is important because they can inform later steps in planning to achieve the objective. First, decision-makers should consider whether the objective is attainable, given the SWOTs. If the objective is not attainable, they must select a different objective and repeat the process.

    58  Mobile vansfor better visibility.  Threats  Competitor  Local ice-cream. STRENGTHS Strengths are the factors that are going to help you get better results. Your company will do well if you can base your strategy around these things. Strength is an internal factor. This means you can control it. Things like resources, investment, and skilled labor are considered as strengths. In SWOT analysis in marketing, you will consider the following things as your strength:  Brand recognition – If your company is well known by the people then it can act as strength for your marketing strategy. You can use its name and recognition to advertise your products for sale.  Locationsof the business – If your company or shop is located in the city centre then you are likely to have a very good business. It makes it convenient for your customers to be able to visit your shop. This is a big strength that you may have over your competitors.  Specialistin marketing expertise – When you have an expert in marketing then you can develop a marketing strategy quite easily. He/she will have the required experience to form strategies based on experience. This is a massive boost when doing a SWOT analysis in marketing.  Introducing somethingnew – What better way to capture the market than providing newer products? If your firm can come up with new ideas, then your marketing strategy will be based on innovation and novelty. WEAKNESSES Weaknesses are also internal factors that will derail you from making progress. When doing a SWOT analysis in marketing, you need to consider which things will make your marketing strategy look weak and unconvincing. The following factors can be called weaknesses:
  • 59.
    59  Poor distribution– If you have a poor distribution channel for your products then you are likely to suffer. If the customers are not getting your products on time or even on the market, then that‟s an obstacle for your marketing strategy.  Not distinguishablefeature – You cannot stand out in the market if your products are no different from the rest of the competitors. You need to have your own signature or an identity.  Lack of online presence – In the modern era, online marketing is a key way to grab the customer‟s attention. If you are not doing enough online, then you cannot succeed well. OPPORTUNITIES SWOT analysis in marketing will look at almost everything as an opportunity. This is because you never know what events or situations you can use as a marketing weapon. Things such as:  Advancementin technology – If your company buys newer technology. Or they come across newer ways to produce goods then that can be termed as an opportunity. This will help the company to strategize on a different way.  Increase in demand – A situation may arise when the demand for your goods may increase both locally and internationally. If that happens, then you need to seize the opportunity. You can advertise the fact that your good are wanted abroad and thus create a brand name for yourself. This is smart marketing.  SocialEvents – Nothing increases the demand for certain goods like social events. Gift items become hot in demand during Christmas. Fireworks are sold every minute day before New Year‟s Eve. So when such an opportunity is opened up, the marketing strategy should be to take full advantage of the situation. Offer those discounts and other benefits so that your product is sold more. THREATS While doing a SWOT analysis in marketing, you have to be very careful regarding the situations that will hamper your marketing strategy. These situations are known as threats. Threats develop come out of nowhere. So it is better to identify them as soon as possible. That way the SWOT analysis in marketing will have a contingency plan to thwart the threat. The following conditions can be considered as a threat:
  • 60.
    60  Competitorslower price-This has to be the toughest threat to deal with. If your competitor lowers the price of their product, then there are very few things you can do about it. People are always likely to go for things that are less expensive. However if your SWOT analysis in marketing has this noted down, then you are likely to have a backup plan for it. Offering better quality or promotional offers may help.  Changes in consumerchoice – If your consumers all of a sudden decide to change their choice then you are likely to be in trouble. Fashion trends are always going to change, and this becomes a threat if you are producing the same kind of goods or services.  Economiccondition – Inflation, exchange rates, taxes and so on are all economic factors. If these things change too often, then your company will be affected in the negative way. Doing a SWOT analysis in marketing will require you to keep such things on mind and come up ways to avoid them.

    61 RECOMMENDATIONS AMUL INDIA isa great learning company for interns. AMUL INDIA is a LARGE STORE and helps interns improve and develops their skills. I would recommend AMUL INDIA to keep hiring interns with different educational background, to help build and improve the company with the knowledge they gained from their studies. The part that I found most interesting during my internship is the social media. During my studies I mostly learned how to use the communication tools for promotional activities. Even when describing the use of internet during projects. The communication tools TV, radio and magazine are of course effective if you have the necessary budget. But at AMUL I learned you can promote good and services creatively by just using the social media tools.  AMUL is a store where all the home FMCG products are available.  They maintain the standard of quality in each and every product of AMUL.  The staff of AMUL should very skilled and experienced. The one best positive point of the AMUL is they give a very healthy environment to the employees for their work and to the customers for shop.

  • 63.
    63 LIMITATIONS It is myfirst internship project so due to curiosity i put my whole efforts on this project. But still are certain limitations while doing the work. Some of the limitations are:-  One of the biggest limitations with this project work is the time factor.  There might have been tendencies among the respondant to amplifying or filter their responses underthe testing.  In some cases, the customers was not giving the proper reply. He/she might think that this is only wastage of time or this might create some problem etc.  Unavailibilty of some information due to the lack of awareness of customers in these area.
  • 64.
    64 CONCLUSION The past monthsof my internship have been very instructive for me. AMUL INDIA has offered me opportunities to learn and develop myself in many areas. I gained a lot of experience, especially in the Marketing field. A lot of the tasks and activities that I have worked on during my internship are familiar with what I‟m studying at the moment. I worked in many areas where I did different work. This gave me the chance to find out which areas I want work in after my education. The area that I found most interesting is marketing & communication. By developing a marketing plan, I had to do lots of research where I had to find the best way of marketing. I learned many things about viral marketing by using and learning about social media tools. As a bonus, I got to experience the event marketing process. I learned how the marketing and promotional activities occur. I also learned how the administrational process occurs by maintaining contact with the venue, vendors. During my One and a half month of internship, I want to actively contribute to the company‟s objectives by applying the knowledge I obtained during my education such as the important aspects of communication including marketing communication, advertising, PR, media, written communication, information, organisation and management. During my One and a half month internship, I want to improve my English language by working along with my colleagues and communicating with the clients of the internship company. I realized that the marketing for a product is very essential in the process of positioning in the market of a product to the selling of it. The products are selling on the basis of region and the area of market. Overall we say that if we are in modern world with it the marketing should also be modern marketing.
