Preface
Summer internship is a very important part of PGDM curriculum. It provides an optimistic
iconography for ‘Future’ existence through which students are able to see the real industrial
environment which gives an opportunity to relate theory with practice.
”Experience is the best teacher” - This saying has played a pivotal role in including the project
work as a part of the PGDM program of GLS University. This report allowed us to study real
business environment.
We undertook 48 days training program at Cadila Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. and worked on the
project “A study on customer feedback and upgradation of Haem up Vet launched or
introduced by Cadila Pharmaceuticals as per market needs”
The project gives an insight of customer feedback and upgradation of newly launched product.
This project will help to learn about the satisfaction level of customers regarding our newly
launched product Haem up Vet. The Research will also bring light on how New Product
Development components functions in a company. We have tried our best to prepare this
report.

Executive summary
The animal health industry is represented by the International Federation for Animal Health,
which provides general information on the scope of the sector. In safeguarding the health,
productivity and potential of the large animal population, Animal Health Care Industry has
played a very significant role. From treatments with broad-spectrum products to specific
products for specific conditions, new formulations, new delivery mechanisms to shift towards
disease prevention, to a current shift towards productivity enhancement and overall wellbeing
of animals – Animal Health Industry has undergone a tremendous evolution. Most of the
animal health companies are business units of a human pharmaceutical parent company
Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd is one of the largest privately held pharmaceutical companies in
India, headquartered at Ahmedabad, Gujarat, cadila pharmaceuticals. Focused strongly on
innovation and research, the company is present in more than forty-five therapeutic areas
spread across twelve specialties, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, analgesics,
hematinic, anti-infective and antibiotics, respiratory agents, antidiabetics and immunological.
More than 300 scientists in its various R&D setups reinforce the competitiveness of research
in the therapeutic areas which have high unmet medical needs. At Cadila Pharmaceuticals,
R&D is at the core of all its initiatives, be it biotechnology, APIs, formulations, plant tissue
culture or phytochemistry. The company has been developing and manufacturing
pharmaceutical products in India and selling and distributing these in over eighty-five other
countries around the world. As such, they have the advantage of leveraging the expertise, global
scope and support services that smaller, independent companies do not.
To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly”.
This saying holds true not only for people but also for a product or a service. ... Hence, new
product development and upgradation of existing products has to be pursued
relentlessly. Since a shift from product-out to market-in has been emphasized, there is need to
conduct product development by capturing the customer’s requirement. In product
development tactics, classifying quality elements is an important process. But to grow the
corporation’s future permanently, product development is an important factor to survive.
However, the market is saturated with a lot of kinds of things and goods these days, customers
would not be satisfied even a product merely satisfies their needs. To consider a future
7. V
corporate strategy, pricing and sales competition are important. As new product’s life cycle
becomes shorter and shorter, it is imperative to provide a new product successfully to the
market.

1.1 Introduction
Indian pharmaceutical industry has been witnessing significant growth over past few
years. The size of the Indian pharmaceutical market increased from USD 6 Billion in 2005 to
USD 33Billion in 2017.By 2020, India’s pharmaceuticals market is expected to reach USD 55
Billion and become one of the largest pharmaceutical market in the world. The
pharmaceuticals sector has attracted FDI worth USD 15.72 Billion between April 2000 and
March 2018, according to data published by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion
(DIPP).The Government also has plans to set up aUS$ 700 million venture capital (VC) fund
to give a boost to drug discovery and strengthen the pharma infrastructure in the country.
The Indian Government, in efforts to boost R&D in the pharmaceutical sector, has established
six National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) and declared them
as ‘Institute of National Importance’
For a global pharmaceutical company seeking to enter Indian pharmaceutical market
today, the opportunities are exciting and the potential is tremendous.
Six factors attract global pharmaceutical companies to India.
Low cost of production due to variety of factors including cheap labour and raw
material cost
Big market not only for life saving drugs but also for lifestyle drugs;
Potential for conducting research and development activities in India – India has more
than 300 medical colleges, over 20,000 hospitals;
Existing manufacturing capability to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients
(APIs) as well as intermediates at lower cost while maintaining quality.
India has maximum number of USFDA approved plants outside USA which are over
169 in number.
Ease of conducting clinical trials and bio availability and bioequivalence studies due
to India’s ability to provide speedier and less expensive trials without compromising
quality and vast patient pool.
As anticipated, the new patent regime has caused a shift towards discovery research
within Indian industry. India has also witnessed a keen interest on behalf of global
14. 3
pharmaceutical companies seeking to either establish operations in India for research and
development, manufacturing or distribution or to enter into collaborations for the same.
Recent recessionary times have created additional pressure on global pharmaceutical
companies to manage resources more efficiently – India’s low-cost research and
development abilities provide solace.
Co-development arrangements between Indian and multinational pharmaceutical
companies have created a busy atmosphere in research laboratories in India. The Indian
pharmaceutical market is witnessing a rise in collaborations with global companies such
as Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”), Merck and Eli Lilly.
In 2018, within a span of a month, Glenmark announced an exclusive licensing
agreement with Australian company Seqirus for an allergy drug and another with Chinese
biopharmaceutical firm
Harbour Biomed for its oncology molecule. Piramal Life Science Ltd (PLS) and Eli
Lilly and Company have signed a landmark new drug development collaboration. Also
Ranbaxy and GSK have launched a New Drug Discovery Research team to advance into
preclinical investigation in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other
anti-infectives therapeutic areas. PLS also initiated drug discovery efforts with Merck &
Co. to discover and develop new drugs in oncology. Zydus Cadila entered into a new drug
discovery and development agreement with Eli Lilly to develop potential new drugs to cure
cardiovascular disease. India is also becoming a hub for late-phase research. Johnson &
Johnson (J&J) announced its plans to make India a global hub for late-phase development
of its new drugs. With this initiative, all future new drugs and compounds from J&J will
undergo final pre-production testing in India. Many domestic companies are getting more
involved in such collaborative arrangements.
For a trans-national entity seeking a presence in India, whether directly or through
contractual arrangement, structuring of the investment/ arrangement from a tax and
regulatory perspective is very critical. This is especially true because the Indian
pharmaceutical market has become the hotbed of M&A activity. In 2017, 46 M&A deals
worth USD 1.47 billion were reported in the pharmaceutical sector. Some of the
15. 4
noteworthy ones are acquisition of OctoPlus N.V, a Netherlands- based company, by Dr
Reddy Laboratories to get access to the Poly Lactic- CoGlycolic Acid (PLGA) technology
for the formulation of complex injectable. Similarly, acquisition of a portfolio of anti-
spasticity and pain management drugs from US based drug maker – Mallinckrodt by
Piramal Enterprises.
On the surface, Indian law appears to be a complex set of regulations, notifications and
approval requirements. However, with steps that India has already taken to honor its World
Trade Organization (WTO) commitments combined with the liberalization and the
relaxation of the export-import policy, foreign companies seeking to enter this space will
experience that most of the restrictions that existed on issues like pricing and licensing
have now been relaxed to the extent that there is now a level- playing field for global and
Indian companies.
16. 5
India Entry Strategies
A basic understanding of the Indian legal system is a pre-requisite to do business of
pharmaceuticals in India. International pharma companies or investors seeking to make
investments in Indian pharma companies should structure their activities on the follow ing
three pillars.

barring some exceptional cases like defence, housing and real estate, print media, etc.
(commonly referred to as the “negative list”). If the investment is not in accordance with
the prescribed guidelines or if the activity falls under the negative list, prior approval must
be obtained from the concerned department (“approval route”).
In the case of pharmaceutical sector, foreign direct investment is permitted up to
100%. However, a permission from the Department of Pharmaceuticals is required to buy
more than 74% shareholding in existing companies. It must be noted that a non- compete
condition with the existing shareholders is no longer allowed except in special
circumstances at the discretion of the government. The Central Government also has the
right to add new conditions to an investment if the investor proposes to acquire more than
74% of an existing pharmaceutical company. There is no prior permission required to
incorporate a wholly owned subsidiary in India.

1.4 PESTEL Analysis
Political
For past some years, the pharmaceutical companies are facing tough political scrutiny
globally. The drug prices were already under pressure in Europe and Japan and now in US too.
It is not just the drug makers, but the drug distributors too are in trouble. For a quite long time
in US, the drug producing companies were able to charge as they liked. Margins are already
running low and pricing pressure is leading to losses for several drug makers including Johnson
and Johnson. Political pressures can be a major challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. In
US, particularly several things have changed because of the rising political pressure. Such
pressures become a cause of worry for the drug makers, distributors and even the investors who
are worried that under rising pricing pressure, the drug makers would have to provide steeper
discounts. The current situation in US is sparking fears over what may come next. During
recent years, politicians and pharmacy managers have added to the industry’s pressure. Such
pressures do not just become an impediment to growth but also have the potential to cause
losses.
Economic
The economic crisis is over but its effects are still there around. Around the world in
several countries where the economic situation has not yet fully recovered, the condition of
24. 13
healthcare is pretty bad. Various kinds of economic and political pressures are already leading
to losses for the Pharma companies. 2015 however, was a bumper year in terms of approval for
new drugs. However, the stronger dollar globally is also a cause of trouble. It is reducing the
net profits of the US based Pharma companies. Still, its effect can be positive for the companies
based in Europe. The US based Pharma companies are faced with a growth squeeze and are
trying to cut costs in varying ways. Amid all these challenges the Pharma industry faces
growing pressure related to profitable growth. However, the economic situation has continued
to improve and the rate of employment is also up since the recession. Still, currency
fluctuations will remain to be a source of worry for the Pharma companies.
Social
Socio-cultural factors present both opportunities and threats to the pharma sector. On
the one side is the aging population which brings a wide range of opportunities for the industry.
Aging population will need dedication for several kinds of problems that come with increasing
age. There are other problems too like obesity which is a common problem across US and
affects nearly all the age groups. Changing age composition of the US population and other
factors have pressed new demands on the healthcare industry and the Pharma sector. The
public is also more informed than ever and their expectations and demands have also changed
simultaneously which has led to additional pressure on the companies. Social networking has
added to the public activism and the Pharma companies are under a lot of pressure over how
they get closer to the consumers and maintain profitable growth rates.
Technological
Technology has brought several opportunities for the Pharma and healthcare sector.
However, it also remains a source of expenditure for the Pharma companies. Especially, the
rise of social networking has given rise to several new profitable opportunities for the Pharma
sector. Social media has started playing a very important role in healthcare. It has become a
new means to connect with the customers. It also provides the Pharma companies an
opportunity to advertise direct to the consumers. New technologies help companies reduce
production costs and bring down expenses. The rise of IT has brought several major
opportunities where costs are also minimum for the drug makers.
25. 14
Environmental
There are some important environmental risks associated with
pharmaceuticals. Various kinds of pharmaceutical residues can pollute the
environment. While most of these products do not have a major impact on the environment,
still their proper storage and disposal is essential to avoid any kind of environmental impact.
Based upon the size of the global Pharma industry, its responsibility is also big. The pressure
on the Pharma companies is high over synchronization between environmental needs. Both
government and the community are pressing the industry to invest more in environmental
concerns.
Legislative
The legal pressures are one of the biggest challenges before the pharmaceutical
industry. In the recent years, financial penalties on pharma companies in US have also become
more frequent. Apart from anti-corruption laws, strict compliance is a costly challenge before
this sector. In this area, there are four major challenges to be dealt with. Those challenges are
– anti corruption, cyber security, abuse of sales and marketing tactics and anti-trust issues. Not
only in US, in the emerging markets too, has the level of legal scrutiny and oversight increased.
Several companies have spent millions of dollars in the past years to resolve the investigations
conducted by DoJ. In such an environment, the companies are required to identify their risks
and opportunities proactively and develop policies that can mitigate these risks.
26. 15
1.5 Porter’s Five Model
Introduction
The pharmaceutical industry, or pharma industry, is one of the fastest-growing
economic sectors with predicted worldwide sales of more than $1.3 trillion in 2018.
Approximately 44.5% of sales each year come from North America, with U.S. sales predicted
to be more than $370 billion in 2016. There is significant overlap between the biotechnology
sector and pharma.
Pharma is a dynamic industry with rapid growth and the potential for high profits. Top-
selling drugs have annual sales exceeding $1 billion. However, a new drug requires millions
of dollars invested in research and development (R&D) and testing before it can be brought to
market. The majority of new projects never receive approval from the Food & Drug
27. 16
Administration (FDA), resulting in large amounts of capital burned just to get one profitable
product.
Individual pharma stock investors face a difficult task in analysis due to the high level
of technical expertise required to adequately evaluate the viability of potential new products,
as well as the continued prospects for existing FDA-approved drugs. The most stable stocks
are those of large- and mega-cap companies with multiple products and large R&D budgets.
However, the greatest returns come from smaller companies that achieve scientific
breakthroughs.
Porter’s Five Forces Analysis
Threat of New Entrants
The big payoffs available in the pharmaceutical industry lead to a steady flow of new
companies being created. A team of researchers with a hot idea or newly granted patents can
find venture capital funds eager to provide millions of dollars in startup funding. These smaller
companies pose no serious threat to big pharma. In fact, one of a startup investor's main exit
strategies is to sell out to a big pharma firm when new products are through the initial
development phase.
Powerof Suppliers
Suppliers have very little power in the pharmaceutical industry. The raw materials for
manufacturing drugs are commodity products in the chemical industry, which are available
from numerous sources. Most of the equipment used in manufacturing and research is available
from multiple manufacturers. Suppliers usually offer multiple products to the manufacturer,
which moderates pricing on rarer materials and unique equipment.
Powerof Buyers
Pharma is unique among industries because the medical patient has an absolute lack of
power regarding pricing. The prescriber of the drugs, the physician, ethically is not allowed to
profit from the sale of drugs. The entity that pays for the drugs, the insurance company, only
has a say in how much it will pay to the distributor of the drugs, meaning it has little power
28. 17
with the drug manufacturers. The insurer can refuse to pay for treatments it believes are
overpriced.
The only entities with any negotiating power are the pharmacies and medical
institutions that fulfil the medical patients’ prescriptions. Even these entities have little power
over newer drugs under patent or drugs with only one manufacturer. Pharmacies focus on their
profit margins and have little incentive to provide patients with the lowest possible pricing.
Availability of Substitutes
The effect of substitutes is dependent on the individual drug. A new FDA-approved
blockbuster drug that has patent protection, treats a major health condition and is first to market
in its category has a license to print billions of dollars. The development of a new drug that
cures a major disease could be worth tens of billions of dollars per year. However, the 30th
drug to treat a common condition could take years to recoup the R&D costs.
Once a drug loses its patents, generic drug manufacturers start selling copycat versions
at substantially lower prices. A drug that netted $100 million a year in profit could become one
that earns only $1 million a year in profit overnight. Additionally, there is a major international
problem with counterfeit drugs. The best of these counterfeits duplicates a real drug's formula
and sells it at a lower price, which hurts corporate profits. The worst counterfeits are made with
low-grade materials and can destroy the reputations of the legitimate products.
Competitive Rivalry
With more than $1 trillion in global sales, pharmaceutical business can be cutthroat.
The huge importance of intellectual property results in strong competition for high-level
workers and leading researchers. Even strong nondisclosure and non-compete clauses cannot
prevent the leaking of competitive information.
Any potential new drug has its public information analysed for the possibility of
creating a similar drug to market as a substitute. The industry exhibits a pattern of firms
merging and larger firms buying smaller firms that have promising research or new drugs.

41. 30
Weakness of Cadila Pharmaceutical
Weaknesses of Cadila Pharmaceuticals can either be absence of strengths or resources
of capabilities that are required but at present the organization doesn't have. Decision makers
have to be certain if the weakness is present because of lack of strategic planning or as a result
of strategic choice.
1. Business Model of Cadila Pharmaceuticals can be easily imitated by the competitors
in the industry name. To overcome these challenges company name needs to build a
platform model that can integrate suppliers, vendors and end users.
2. Extra cost of building new supply chain and logistics network - Internet and
Artificial Intelligence has significantly altered the business model in the Healthcare
industry and given the decreasing significance of the dealer network Cadila
Pharmaceuticals has to build a new robust supply chain network. That can be extremely
expensive.
3. Niche markets and local monopolies that company’s like Cadila Pharmaceuticals able
to exploit are fast disappearing. The customer network that Cadila Pharmaceuticals has
promoted is proving less and less effective.
4. High cost of replacing existing experts within the Cadila Pharmaceuticals. Few
employees are responsible for the Cadila Pharmaceuticals's knowledge base and
replacing them will be extremely difficult in the present conditions.
5. Declining per unit revenue for Cadila Pharmaceuticals - competitiveness in the
industry name is putting downward pressure on the profitability. A starting guide to
manage this situation for company name is – objectively assessing the present value
propositions of the various products.
6. Loyalty among suppliers is low - Given the history of Cadila Pharmaceuticals coming
up with new innovations to drive down prices in the supply chain.
42. 31
OPPORTUNITIES ofCadila Pharmaceutical
1. Lower inflation rate - The low inflation rate bring more stability in the market, enable
credit at lower interest rate to the customers of Cadila Pharmaceuticals. This will
increase the consumption of Cadila Pharmaceuticals products.
2. Customer preferences are fast changing - Driven by rising disposable incomes, easy
access to information, and fast adoption of technological products, customers today are
more willing to experiment / try new products in the market. Cadila Pharmaceuticals
has to carefully monitor not only wider trends within the Biotechnology & Drugs
industry but also in the wider Healthcare sector.
3. Lowering of the cost of new product launches through third party retail partners and
dedicated social network. Cadila Pharmaceuticals can use the emerging trend to start
small before scaling up after initial success of a new product.
4. Trend of customers migrating to higher end products - It represents great
opportunity for Cadila Pharmaceuticals, as the firm has strong brand recognition in the
premium segment, customers have experience with excellent customer services
provided by Cadila Pharmaceuticals brands in the lower segment. It can be a win-win
for the company and provides an opportunity to increase the profitability.
5. Accelerated technological innovations and advances are improving industrial
productivity, allowing suppliers to manufacture vast array of products and services.
This can help Cadila Pharmaceuticals to significantly venture into adjacent products.
6. Increasing government regulations are making it difficult for un-organized players
to operate in the Biotechnology & Drugs industry. This can provide Cadila
Pharmaceuticals an opportunity to increase the customer base.
43. 32
Threats of Cadila Pharmaceutical
Threats are factors that can be potential dangers to the firm's business models because
of changes in macro-economic factors and changing consumer perceptions. Threats can be
managed but not controlled.
1. Saturation in urban market and stagnation in the rural markets - For Cadila
Pharmaceuticals this trend is an ongoing challenge in the Biotechnology & Drugs
segment. One of the reasons is that the adoption of products is slow in rural market.
Secondly it is more costly for Cadila Pharmaceuticals to serve the rural customers than
urban customers given the vast distances and lack of infrastructure.
2. Shortage of skilled human resources - Given the high turnover of employees and
increasing dependence on innovative solution, company name can face skilled human
resources challenges in the near future.
3. Competitive pressures - As the new product launch cycles are reducing in the
Healthcare industry. It has put additional competitive pressures on players such as
Cadila Pharmaceuticals. Given the large customer base, Cadila Pharmaceuticals can't
respond quickly to the needs of the niche markets that disruptors are focusing on.
4. Changing political environment with US and China trade war, Brexit impacting
European Union, and overall instability in the Middle East can impact Cadila
Pharmaceuticals business both in local market and in international market.
5. Distrust of institutions and increasing threat of legal actions for Cadila
Pharmaceuticals - As the WTO regulations and laws are difficult to enforce in various
markets. Legal procedures have become expensive and long drawn process. It can lead
to less investment into emerging markets by Cadila Pharmaceuticals thus resulting in
slower growth.
6. Trade Relation between US and China can affect Cadila Pharmaceuticals growth
plans - This can lead to full scale trade war which can hamper the potential of Cadila
Pharmaceuticals to expand operations in China.

To consider a future corporate strategy, pricing and sales competition are important.
But for the long term growth of the company, product development is an important factor. As
new product’s life cycle becomes shorter and shorter, it is imperative to provide a new product
successfully to the market. However, the market is saturated with a lot of similar kind of
products these days, thus a product that merely satisfies their needs would not be able to
survive. Since a shift from product-out to market-in has been emphasized, there is need to
conduct product development by capturing the customer’s requirement. In product
development tactics, classifying quality elements is an important process.
New product development (NPD) is the process of bringing a new product to the market place.
Every business needs to engage in this process due to changes in consumer preferences,
increasing competition and advances in technology or to capitalise on a new opportunity.
'New products' can be:
products that your business has never made or sold before but have been taken to market
by others
Product innovations created and brought to the market for the first time. They may be
completely original products or existing products that you have modified and improved.
With a well-developed NPD you can avoid wasting time, money and business resources and
will help you organise your product planning and research, capture your customers' views and
expectations. Your strategy will also help you avoid:
overestimating and misreading your target market
launching a poorly designed product, or a product that doesn't meet the needs of your
target customers
incorrectly pricing products
spending resources you don't have on higher-than-anticipated development costs
Exposing your business to risks and threats from unexpected competition.
There are several important steps you will need to plan into your NPD strategy.
49. 38
Define your product
An accurate description of the product you are planning will help keep you and your team
focused and avoid NPD pitfalls such as developing too many products at once, or running out
of resources to develop the product.
Identify market needs
Successful NPD requires a thorough knowledge of your target market and its needs and wants.
A targeted, strategic and purposeful approach to NPD will ensure your products fit your market.
Establish time frames
You need to allow adequate time to develop and implement your new products. Your objectives
for developing new products will inform your time frames and your deadlines for
implementation. Be thoughtful and realistic. Some objectives might overlap but others will be
mutually exclusive.
Your objective to race against your competition will require efficiency from your team.
Your aim to achieve a specific launch date will be influenced by demand for seasonal
products and calendar events.
Identify key issues and approaches
There are many tasks involved in developing a product that is appropriate for your customers.
Key tasks include:
generating and screening ideas
developing and screening concepts
testing concepts
analysing market and business strategy
developing and market testing products
Implementing and commercialising products.
50. 39
Generating and screening ideas for new products
Successful new product development (NPD) starts with identifying good product ideas and
using reliable criteria to decide which ideas to pursue. You should take the following steps
before you allocate funds to new product development.
Idea generation
Write a customer needs list based on the information you gather from the sources identified
below Brainstorm product issues. Use your research and development (R&D) processes,
Review your quality assurance (QA) processes, Review your customer complaint records
New product concept development and screening
The concept development and testing stage of NPD can be time-intensive, but it will help you
avoid unnecessary costs later by ensuring you pursue the best new product concept in your
market.
Create a product concept
A product concept is a detailed description of an idea, which you describe from the perspective
of your customer. Taking your customers' viewpoint when describing your product concept
will help you test and evaluate how responsive your market will be to your product.
Business analysis of new products
A new product idea that survives the screening stage of new product development (NPD)
requires a more sophisticated and detailed business analysis. A business analysis will help you
determine the costs involved in your proposed NPD, and forecast the profits you may make
from the product in future financial years.
Your business analysis will also help you eliminate inappropriate ideas and avoid unnecessary
costs by Estimating your product price, identifying your product's market potential, Forecasting
your sales volume, Identifying your break-even point and determining your minimum sale price
51. 40
Scope your marketing strategy
Your marketing strategy will help you determine how to position your new product in the
marketplace. The information you gather, next, in your market testing will help you identify
which market segments to target and how.
New product prototypes and market testing
Prototype testing is one of the most rewarding phases of new product development (NPD).

(Kaustubh Dhargalkar, 2017) When confronted with new product development (NPD),
managers generally adopt quick fixes such as benchmarking with competing products and then
attempting incremental changes over the competitors’ product features. There are several
approaches propounded in the past. Some focus on manufacturing, some on marketing and
perception, and some on idea generation and stage-gating these concepts. However, a
comprehensive approach seems to be missing. In an, ever-changing world, technologies
change, customer demands change, ecosystems change, competitors change and while all this
is changing, if your product/service remains the same, it will cease to exist. Hence, new product
development and upgradation of existing products has to be pursued relentlessly. Usually, new
product development is seen as correcting the mistakes in the existing products, plugging the
gaps, and trying to catch up with competitors.
(Rosenberg, 2017) Customer loyalty and satisfaction is vital for modern day business for two
main reasons. First, customers are scarce resource it is far easier to obtain from an old customer
than from a new one. Second, customer loyalty and satisfaction has a positive effect on the
profitability revenues of the company..
(European Institute of Publication Administration, 2017) A technique for assessing the
customer satisfaction should also have to go through the international market procedure to meet
the requirement internationally. In the process, granting the satisfaction to the customer in both
physical and technological aspects has changed drastically. However, there is still no method
of measuring customer satisfaction. But the feedback from the customer can be taken as a
crucial tool for measuring customer satisfaction.
(SSRS research, 2016) Customer satisfaction is extremely important because it is the way of
getting feedback from the customers in a way that they can use it to manage and improve their
business. Customer satisfaction is the best indicator of how the business looks like in the future.
Customer satisfaction helps in doing SWOT analysis that could help them to develop their
business in an advance and in a systematic way. Besides this, it will also help in making the
right decision to use the appropriate resources while manufacturing the products. Similarly, it
maintains the relationship with the existing customers and also creates the possibility to acquire
others..
(FYasutaka Kainuma, 2016) To consider a future corporate strategy, pricing and sales
competition are important. But to grow the corporation’s future permanently, product
55. 44
development is an important factor to survive. As new product’s life cycle becomes shorter
and shorter, it is imperative to provide a new product successfully to the market. However, the
market is saturated with a lot of kinds of things and goods these days, customers would not be
satisfied even a product merely satisfies their needs. Since a shift from product-out to market-
in has been emphasized, there is need to conduct product development by capturing the
customer’s requirement. In product development tactics, classifying quality elements is an
important process. In this classification, there are attractive quality elements, one-dimensional
and must-be quality element.
(Client Heartbeat, 2015) Customer feedback and information are the important steps of
developing an organization. Customer feedback is an important tool for a business organization
to improve their business and product services. Feedback is the best way of measuring the
customer satisfaction. The process of winning new business and retaining an existing customer
is only possible with the feedback and complaints from the consumers. Customer feedback
provides the tangible data which can be used a better business decision. Customer feedback
provides valuable insight into what customers think about product and services which help to
build a successful business organization in future..
(Nishant Gaurav, February 2014) Many Multinational Companies capturing their product
development ideas from customer expectation only. If the company is not able to fulfil the
expectation of customer demand and need, then the product sales growth fall in the market.
Launching new products and services in the market represents an important source of
increasing the size of a business and the profits of a company. The success of introducing new
product in the market is a critical issue of the current marketing programs New Product
Development (NPD) speed is critical because product life cycles are shrinking and
obsolescence is occurring more quickly than in the past while competition also has intensified.
Consequently, to grow, it has become imperative for firms to move new product to market
faster. Customer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how products
and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.
(B.C.Y. Lee, 2014) The positive effect of customer orientation on superior performance.
However, these studies have not shown how to covert customer orientation into superior
performance through new product development (NPD) activities. The purpose of this study
was to fill the gap between customer orientation and new product performance and elucidate
the mediating influence of product launch, product development capability, and innovativeness
56. 45
on the relationship between customer orientation and new product performance. From the
contract manufacturer’s perspective, it was proposed that customer orientation toward new
product performance affects NPD activities. Focus was placed on product launch because the
launch stage is the most expensive and riskiest aspect of NPD activities.
(Tao, 2014) Increased customer satisfaction can provide company benefits like customer
loyalty, extending the life cycle of a customer expanding the life of merchandise the customer
purchase and increases customers positive word of mouth communication. When the customer
is satisfied with the product or service of the company, it can make the customer to purchase
frequently and to recommend products or services to potential customers. It is impossible for a
business organization to grow up in case the company ignores or disregards the needs of
customers..
(JOHN CALLAHAN, July 2012) This research explores the acquisition of customer input
and its importance in the Development of very new products. The data were used to test
concerning the Relationships between product newness, the importance of customer input in
the Development process, and the use of customer intensive market research methods. The
importance of customer input increases with market newness of a product Up to a point and
then drops off for very new products, whereas the importance of Customer input increases with
technological newness of a product without dropping off.
(Dr. Amue, 2012) Attempts to explain the new product and consumer innovative behavior.
From this, it is clearly inferred that electronics home appliance companies should always take
into cognizance consumer personality, customer perception and customer learning when
evolving new products as there will always influence consumer adoption behavior. He
recommended that the companies should always evolve product that matches with customer
personality and intensify marketing communication strategies to continuously create an
enduring perception of their products in the minds of their targeted customers..
(Khangura, 2012) Customer feedback as satisfaction study begins with investigation of
potential reasoning to identify dissatisfaction. Customer feedback is defined as customer
communication concerning a product or a service. According to the current state of the art,
customer’s response to the evaluation of the perceived inconsistency between some
comparisons e.g. expectations and the Perceived performance of the product are considered as
feedback..
57. 46
(Khaligh A., 2012) Investigated the impact of CRM in enhancement of customer loyalty and
retention in telecom industry in Iran. The result collected from 200 Iranian telecom services
users. Finding shows that, commitment and vision of the management system is highly required
for a successful CRM implementation. The structure of the strategy should be based on
flexibility and explicitly of the policies especially pricing policies. In fact, the mentioned
factors are very important to increase customer loyalty and therefore to increase benefit of the
firm..
(Cooper, 2010) it is much more than that. NPD should mean giving the customer an altogether
different experience. It should mean breaking the clutter and differentiating your product from
others. Today customer demands keep evolving continuously, compressing product lifecycles.
Product development is not an easy process. The success rate ranges between 45 and 62%..
(Sandén, 2009) Given today’s industry dynamics, new service development is becoming
increasingly important to the competitiveness, growth, and survival of organizations.
Unfortunately, new service development has proven to be a complex and difficult task. New
product and service development offers great potential. Research has shown a strong
relationship between new products and performance. New products that have been on the
market for five years or less account for on average 40 percent of company sales Also, new
products have a similar impact on profit.
(Vargo, 2009) In light of the above, we propose that customer feedback generated during a
value creation process, can have potential well-being outcomes on service and consumer
entities. According (Vargo and Lusch) is one of the four building blocks of a company’s
strategic marketing direction. Customer feedback, a particular type of “conversation and
dialogue”, allows companies to listen to customers to understand what it is that they value in
the company..

RECOMMENDATIONS
While working with such a reputed and valuable company which is having the best products
and supply chain management system through which they supply their products all over the
world, we would like to give some recommendations that we noticed while working on the
Project - “A study on customer feedback and upgradation of Haem up vet launched or
introduced by Cadila pharmaceuticas Ltd.l as per market needs”
Company should focus more and more on broadening the customers understanding
because most of them do not have promotional tools of the company.
Cash discount & offers should be given & it should be competitive and luring.
Company can increase the sales by promoting its products through various social media
platforms and effective advertisement programs.
Company must make aggressive & new strategies to fight with major competitors and
local veterinary brands.
The company should work out on their complaints regarding Exinot, Vetnoceft & On
feed products.
Company should diversify its business in relative parts of veterinary sector like –
preparing medications for other companion as well as laboratory and zoo animals as
the company has a very well established R&D department with the most advance
technology.
77. 66
CONCLUSION
As per the research the data has clearly indicated that Cadila’s Veterinary products are more
popular than the products of other Competitors mainly because of its brand name, reliability
and availability. Thus it should focus on better quality & quantity so that it can capture the
major part of the market.
As far as our journey with the company, we grasped a lot of knowledge within a period of two
months because many of the company officials have assisted and given us the valuable notes
and experience of their life.
The primary objective of the research is to analyse “Customer feedback & upgradation of
HAEM UP VET - a newly launched product as per the market needs” and at the end of the
research we found that besides retaining its old customers, the company should also formulate
various strategies for acquiring new customers & increasing its market share.
