needs

place

3. The Agenda
The task is simple : “Communicate &
Solve the Problem” (Problem in
this case is the Communication itself)
Why & How is what I will discuss here…

4. Where are we now?
The Net Profit for the year was `133.43 crore as
compared to ` 80.92 crore in the previous year, a
growth of 65%
• In Central India, Godrej  not the first choice of
consumers, sometimes it does not even make it to
the consideration set of customers.
• Words & feelings attached: Strong, Durable, Safe,
trustworthy, Indian

5. Why are we here?
• We are not often heard by in the appliances category
• We are not in the top search of for
T.V/Refrigerators/A.C/Microwaves
• Customers want the best in every category, told
individually & not with ‘we are best in everything’
• Japanese/Korean technology is considered the best
• “Bring home the latest in technology” is not what
people have in mind for Godrej
