    History of DS Group

    In the early 20th century, when trade and commerce had not witnessed the advent of

    brands and marketing warfare in India, Shri Dharampalji the founder of DS Group, set

    up a small perfumery shop in Chandni Chowk, Delhi in the year 1929. The urge to create

    a business around consumer tastes and preferences led Dharampalji to innovate quality

    products.

    His sagacity revolutionized the market of chewing tobacco and the shop in Chandni

    Chowk became renowned not only in Delhi but even amongst the connoisseurs of

    tobacco in other parts of India and the world. Blending modernity, technology and

    tradition, Dharampaljis son Satyapalji brought the dawn of a new era - an era that saw a

    revolution. Satyapalji inherited qualities of high virtues, innovation and aspiration for

    being the best in the business. His in-depth knowledge of perfumes honoured him the title

    of Sugandhi (perfumer). He is credited with blending tobacco with various exquisite

    fragrances. He is also known for bringing the element of quality and research hitherto

    unknown in this category.

    Under the able stewardship of Satyapalji, the nations first ever-branded chewing tobacco

    BABA was launched in 1964 which became an instant success and widely popular in its

    category. And what followed later was an array of premium brands like Tulsi and a host

    of others which have established their leadership in their own category and created new

    markets in its wake.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    12/71

    Continuing the fervour of innovation and quality, the Group set new benchmarks in

    Foods & Beverages. Innovative tabletop sprinklers changed the way Indian households

    had been enjoying salt and spices. Be it Catch spices or Catch Beverages, today catch

    stands for international quality and convenience. Mouth fresheners like Rajnigandha and

    Pass Pass created new offerings and established new categories.

    The Group has also ventured into a rapidly growing hospitality sector with extensive five

    star properties in the larger cities and boutique & heritage properties at tourist

    destinations. The Group has also successfully ventured into Packaging, Rubber Thread,

    Steel in the last few years. Since the launch of BABA, the Group has never looked back,

    reaching for milestones year after year. Thus, evolving from a single product to multiple

    brands,

    DS has successfully woven over eight decades legend of innovation and enterprise. And

    the quest for innovation continues..

    Methodology

    Methodology can be:

    1. "The analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by adiscipline";

    2. "The systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been applied within adiscipline".

    3. A documented process for management of projects that contains procedures,definitions and explanations of techniques used to collect, store, analyze and

    present information as part of a research process in a given discipline.

    4. The study or description of methods.

    A project methodology tells us what we have to do, to manage our projects from start to

    finish. It describes every step in the project life cycle in depth, so we know exactly which

    tasks to complete, when and how. Whether we are an expert or a novice, it helps us to

    complete tasks faster than before.

    In Primary data collection, we collect the data our self using methods such as interviews

    and questionnaires. The key point here is that the data we collect is unique to us and our

    research and, until we publish, no one else has access to it.

    Secondary data is data taken by the researcher from secondary sources, internal or

    external. The researcher must thoroughly search secondary data sources before

    commissioning any efforts for collecting primary data. Secondary data is of two kinds,

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    29/71

    internal and external. Secondary data whether internal or external is data already

    collected by others, for purposes other than the solution of the problem on hand.

    Secondary data is data which has been collected by individuals or agencies for purposes

    other than those of our particular research study.

    No marketing research study should be undertaken without a prior search of secondary

    sources (also termed desk research). There are several grounds for making such a bold

    statement.

    Secondary data may be available which is entirely appropriate and whollyadequate to draw conclusions and answer the question or solve the problem.

    Sometimes primary data collection simply is not necessary.

    It is far cheaper to collect secondary data than to obtain primary data. For thesame level of research budget a thorough examination of secondary sources can

    yield a great deal more information than can be had through a primary data

    collection exercise.

    The time involved in searching secondary sources is much less than that needed tocomplete primary data collection.

    Secondary sources of information can yield more accurate data than that obtainedthrough primary research. This is not always true but where a government or

    international agency has undertaken a large scale survey, or even a census, this is

    likely to yield far more accurate results than custom designed and executed

    surveys when these are based on relatively small sample sizes.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    30/71

    It should not be forgotten that secondary data can play a substantial role in theexploratory phase of the research when the task at hand is to define the research

    problem and to generate hypotheses. The assembly and analysis of secondary data

    almost invariably improves the researcher's understanding of the marketing

    problem, the various lines of inquiry that could or should be followed and the

    alternative courses of action which might be pursued.

    Secondary sources help define the population. Secondary data can be extremelyuseful both in defining the population and in structuring the sample to be taken.

    For instance, government statistics on a country's agriculture will help decide how

    to stratify a sample and, once sample estimates have been calculated, these can be

    used to project those estimates to the population.

    Chapter-3

    Conceptual Framework

    Human Resources Management

    Human resources is a term used to describe the individuals who make up the workforce

    of an organization, although it is also applied in labor economics to, for example,

    business sectors or even whole nations.

    Human resources is also the name of the function within an organization charged with the

    overall responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the management

    of individuals (i.e. the human resources). This function title is often abbreviated to the

    initials "HR".

    Features of Human Resources Management

    HRM involves management functions like planning, organizing, directing andcontrolling.

    It involves procurement, development, maintenance of human resource. It helps to achieve individual, organizational and social objectives. HRM is a mighty disciplinary subject. It includes the study of management

    psychology communication, economics and sociology.

    It involves team spirit and team work.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    34/71

    HR Philosophies:

    HR Philosophy of DS Group revolves around transparency and empowerment of

    employees. HR Department is committed "To deliver increased value to DS employees

    by ensuring that the HR resources, knowledge, support and infrastructure are at the level

    necessary for the organization to achieve it's objectives.

    To achieve this, DS Group will continually strive to:

    1. Develop relationships that celebrate diverse ideas, perspectives and cultures.

    2. Help people realize their potential.

    3. Support a balance between family and work life.

    4. Recognize and reward individual and team achievement.

    5. Provide appropriate working conditions and resources to enable people to do their

    work.

    HR Corporative Plans:

    1. Forecast HR Demand Forecasting the future employee needs can be done using

    several methods such as Delphi method, Unit Forecasting, Formal Expert Survey, Trend

    analysis etc.

    2. Estimating the HR SupplyHR supply is the internal employees who can be promoted

    and transferred using a Management or Skill inventory and the unemployed who are

    seeking jobs or the employed but seeking better opportunities.

    3. Then the HR demand should be compared against the HR Supply. This will result in an

    excess or shortage of employees for the future.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    35/71

    4. Strategies should be formulated to avoid the excess/ shortage. Excess can be deal with

    by freezing recruitment, offering voluntary retirement, transferring to other branches etc

    while hiring employees, getting existing employees to do over time; out sourcing etc can

    be done for shortage of employees.

    Recruitment

    Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting qualified people

    for a job. For some components of the recruitment process, mid- and large-size

    organizations often retain professional recruiters or outsource some of the process to

    recruitment agencies.

    The recruitment industry has four main types of agencies: employement agencies,

    recruitment websites and job search engines, headhunters" for executive and

    professional recruitment, and niche agencies which specialize in a particular area of

    staffing. Some organizations use employer branding strategy and in-house recruitment

    instead of agencies. Recruitment-related functions are generally carried out by an

    organization's human resources staff.

    The stages in recruitment include sourcing candidates by advertising or other methods,

    screening potential candidates using tests and/or interviews, selecting candidates based

    on the results of the tests and/or interviews, and on-boarding to ensure the candidate is

    able to fulfill their new role effectively.

    According to Edwin B. Flippo, Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates

    for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organisation. Recruitment

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    36/71

    is the activity that links the employers and the job seekers. A few definitions of

    recruitment are:

    A process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process

    begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The

    result is a pool of applications from which new employees are selected.

    It is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirement of staffing

    schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate

    numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force.

    Recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which helps create a

    pool of prospective employees for the organisation so that the management can select the

    right candidate for the right job from this pool. The main objective of the recruitment

    process is to expedite the selection process.

    Recruitment is a continuous process whereby the firm attempts to develop a pool of

    qualified applicants for the future human resources needs even though specific vacancies

    do not exist. Usually, the recruitment process starts when a manger initiates an employee

    requisition for a specific vacancy or an anticipated vacancy.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    37/71

    Recruitment Needs

    Plannedi.e. the needs arising from changes in organization and retirement policy.

    AnticipatedAnticipated needs are those movements in personnel, which an organization can

    predict by studying trends in internal and external environment.

    UnexpectedResignation, deaths, accidents, illness give rise to unexpected needs.

    Recruitment Process

    The recruitment and selection is the major function of the human resource department

    and recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive strength and the

    strategic advantage for the organisations. Recruitment process involves a systematic

    procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and

    requires many resources and time. A general recruitment process is as follows:

    Identifying peopleThe recruitment process begins with the human resource department receiving

    requisitions for recruitment from any department of the company. These contain:

    Posts to be filled

    Number of persons

    Duties to be performed

    Qualifications required

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    38/71

    Preparing the Job Description and Job Specification:Job Description is an organized factual statement of job contents in the form of duties and

    responsibilities of a specific job. The preparation of job description is very important

    before a vacancy is advertised. It tells in brief the nature and type of job. This type of

    document is descriptive in nature and it constitutes all those facts which are related to a

    job such as :

    1. Title/ Designation of job and location in the concern.2. The nature of duties and operations to be performed in that job.3. The nature of authority- responsibility relationships.4. Necessary qualifications those are required for job.5. Relationship of that job with other jobs in a concern.6. The provision of physical and working condition or the work environment

    required in performance of that job.

    Job Specification is a statement which tells us minimum acceptable human qualities

    which helps to perform a job. Job specification translates the job description into human

    qualifications so that a job can be performed in a better manner. Job specification helps in

    hiring an appropriate person for an appropriate position. The contents are :

    1. Job title and designation2. Educational qualifications for that title3. Physical and other related attributes4. Physique and mental health

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    39/71

    5. Special attributes and abilities6. Maturity and dependability7. Relationship of that job with other jobs in a concern.

    Sources of Recruitment:

    Locating and developing the sources of required number and type of employees

    (Advertising etc).

    Identifying the Prospective Employee:

    Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee with required characteristics.

    Communication of Information:

    Information about the organization, the job, the terms & conditions is committed to

    the candidate so that they know about the vacancy in the organization.

    Encouraging Candidates:

    The next step is to encourage the candidate to apply for the job in the organization.

    This is the main function of recruiter so that vacancies can be filled.

    Factors Affecting Recruitment Policy

    Organizational Objectives Personnel policies of the organization and itscompetitors.

    Government policies on reservations. Preferred sources of recruitment. Need of the organization. Recruitment costs and financial implications.

    Sources of Recruitment

    Every organisation has the option of choosing the candidates for its recruitment processes

    from two kinds of sources: internal and external sources. The sources within the

    organization itself (like transfer of employees from one department to other, promotions)

    to fill a position are known as the internal sources of recruitment. Recruitment candidates

    from all the other sources (like outsourcing agencies etc.) are known as the external

    sources of recruitment.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    41/71

    Internal Sources:

    Present employee: Permanent, temporary & casual employees already on the payof organizations are good sources of recruitment. Vacancies may be filled up from

    such employees through promotion, transfer, upgrading & even demotions.

    Retired and retrenched employee: Those who want to return to company maybe re-hired.

    Advantages of internal recruitment

    Cheaper and quicker to recruit.

    People already familiar with the business and how it operates.

    Provides opportunities forpromotion with in the businesscan be motivating.

    Business already knows the strengths and weaknesses of candidates.

    Disadvantages of internal recruitment

    Limits the number of potential applicants.

    No new ideas can be introduced from outside the business.

    External candidates might be better suited / qualified for the job.

    May cause resentment amongst candidates not appointed.

    Creates another vacancy which needs to be filled.

    Longer process.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    42/71

    External Sources:

    External sources of recruitment have to be solicited from outside the organization.

    External sources are external to a concern. But it involves lot of time and money. The

    external sources of recruitment include - Employment at factory gate, advertisements,

    employment exchanges, employment agencies, educational institutes, labour contractors,

    recommendations etc.

    Employment at Factory Level - This a source of external recruitment in whichthe applications for vacancies are presented on bulletin boards outside the Factory

    or at the Gate. This kind of recruitment is applicable generally where factory

    workers are to be appointed. There are people who keep on soliciting jobs from

    one place to another. These applicants are called as unsolicited applicants. These

    types of workers apply on their own for their job. For this kind of recruitment

    workers have a tendency to shift from one factory to another and therefore they

    are called as badli workers.

    Advertisement - It is an external source which has got an important place inrecruitment procedure. The biggest advantage of advertisement is that it covers a

    wide area of market and scattered applicants can get information from

    advertisements. Medium used is Newspapers and Television.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    43/71

    Employment Exchanges - There are certain Employment exchanges which arerun by government. Most of the government undertakings and concerns employ

    people through such exchanges. Now-a-days recruitment in government agencies

    has become compulsory through employment exchange.

    Employment Agencies - There are certain professional organizations which looktowards recruitment and employment of people, i.e. these private agencies run by

    private individuals supply required manpower to needy concerns.

    Educational Institutions - There are certain professional Institutions which serveas an external source for recruiting fresh graduates from these institutes. This kind

    of recruitment done through such educational institutions is called as Campus

    Recruitment. They have a special recruitment cell which helps in providing jobs

    to fresh candidates.

    Recommendations - There are certain people who have experience in a particulararea. They enjoy goodwill and a stand in the company. There are certain

    vacancies which are filled by recommendations of such people. The biggest

    drawback of this source is that the company has to rely totally on such people

    which can later on prove to be inefficient.

    44/71

    Advantages of external recruitment:

    Outside people bring in new ideas

    Larger pool of workers from which to find the best candidate

    People have a wider range of experience

    Disadvantages of external recruitment:

    Selection

    Selection can be conceptualized in terms of either choosing the fit candidates, or rejecting

    the unfit candidates, or a combination of both. So, selection process assumes rightly that,

    there is more number of candidates than the number of candidates actually selected,

    where the candidates are made available through recruitment process

    The selection process consists of various steps. At each stage facts may come to light

    which may lead to rejection of the applicant. Steps involved in the selection are: -

    application.

    Preliminary interview: - Initial screening is done to weed out totallyundesirable/unqualified candidates at the outset. It is essentially a sorting process

    in which prospective candidates are given necessary information about the nature

    of the job.

    Application blank: - Application form is a traditional and widely used device for

    collecting information from candidates. The application form should provide all

    the information relevant to selection.

    Selection test: - Psychological are being increasingly used in employee selection.A test is sample of some aspects of an individuals attitude, behavior and

    performance. It also provides systematic basis fro comparing the behavior,

    performance and attitudes of two persons.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    48/71

    Employment interview: - An interview is a conversation between two persons.In selection it involves a personal, observational and face to face appraisal of

    candidates for employment.

    Medical examination: - Applicants who have crossed the above stages are sentfor a physical examination either to the companys physician or to a medical

    officer approved for the purpose.

    Reference checks: - The applicant is asked to mention in his application form thenames and addresses of two or three persons who know him well.

    Final approval: - The shortlisted candidates by the department are finallyapproved by the executives of the concerned department. Employment is offered

    in the form of appointment letter mentioning the post, the rank, the grade, the date

    by which the candidate should join and other terms and conditions in brief.

    Importance of selection test

    Employers often use tests and other selection procedures to screen applicants for hire.

    The types of tests and selection procedures utilized include cognitive tests, personality

    tests, medical examinations, credit checks, and background checks.

    Companies can legally use these tests, as long as they don t use to them to discriminate

    based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or age (40 or older).

    Employment tests must be validated for the jobs they are being used to hire for and for

    the purposes for which they are being used.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    49/71

    Advantages of selection tests

    1. Selection test can be used to weed out the large number of candidates who may

    not be considered for the employment. Normally organization receives a large

    number of applications so these tests help to find out the

    suitable candidates having required characteristics for the position. Selection test

    will provide cut off point above which candidates may be called for the interview.

    2. Selection test can provide the information about the qualities and potential of the

    prospective employees which can not be known through other methods including

    personal interviews. These tests also help for the promotion of the

    potential candidates.

    3. Selection tests are standardized and unbiased method of selecting the candidate.

    Thus a person who is not selected on the basis of test can not argue for the

    partiality in selection process. Impartiality is very important for organizations like

    public sector.

    Types of Employment Test

    1. Assessment Centers

    Assessment centers can be designed to measure many different types of job related

    skills and abilities, but are often used to assess interpersonal skills, communication

    skills, planning and organizing, and analytical skills. The assessment center

    typically consists of exercises that reflect job content and types of problems faced on

    the job. For example, individuals might be evaluated on their ability to make a sales

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    50/71

    presentation or on their behavior in a simulated meeting. In addition to these

    simulation exercises, assessment centers often include other kinds of tests such as

    cognitive ability tests, personality inventories, and job knowledge tests

    2. Biographical Data

    The content of biographical data instruments varies widely, and may include such

    areas as leadership, teamwork skills, specific job knowledge and specific skills (e.g.,

    knowledge of certain software, specific mechanical tool use), interpersonal skills,

    extraversion, creativity, etc. Biographical data typically uses questions about

    education, training, work experience, and interests to predict success on the

    job. Some biographical data instruments also ask about an individuals attitude,

    personal assessments of skills, and personality.

    3. Cognitive Ability Tests

    Cognitive ability tests typically use questions or problems to measure ability to learn

    quickly, logic, reasoning, reading comprehension and other enduring mental abilities

    that are fundamental to success in many different jobs. Cognitive ability tests assess

    a persons aptitude or potential to solve job-related problems by providing information

    about their mental abilities such as verbal or mathematical reasoning and perceptual

    abilities like speed in recognizing letters of the alphabet.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    51/71

    4. Integrity Tests

    Integrity tests assess attitudes and experiences related to a persons honesty,

    dependability, trustworthiness, reliability, and pro-social behavior. These tests

    typically ask direct questions about previous experiences related to ethics and

    integrity OR ask questions about preferences and interests from which inferences are

    drawn about future behavior in these areas. Integrity tests are used to identify

    individuals who are likely to engage in inappropriate, dishonest, and antisocial

    behavior at work.

    5. Interviews

    Interviews vary greatly in their content, but are often used to assess such things as

    interpersonal skills, communication skills, and teamwork skills, and can be used to

    assess job knowledge. Well-designed interviews typically use a standard set of

    questions to evaluate knowledge, skills, abilities, and other qualities required for the

    job. The interview is the most commonly used type of test. Employers generally

    conduct interviews either face-to-face or by phone.

    6. Job Knowledge Tests

    Job knowledge tests typically use multiple choice questions or essay type items to

    evaluate technical or professional expertise and knowledge required for specific jobs

    or professions. Examples of job knowledge tests include tests of basic accounting

    principles, A+/Net+ programming, and blueprint reading.

  • 8/3/2019 Khushboo Project Report

    52/71

    7. Personality Tests

    Some commonly measured personality traits in work settings are extraversion,

    conscientiousness, openness to new experiences, optimism, agreeableness, service

    orientation, stress tolerance, emotional stability, and initiative or proactivity.

    Personality tests typically measure traits related to behavior at work, interpersonal

    interactions, and satisfaction with different aspects of work. Personality tests are often

    used to assess whether individuals have the potential to be successful in jobs where

    performance requires a great deal of interpersonal interaction or work in team settings.

    8. Physical Ability Tests

    Physical ability tests typically use tasks or exercises that require physical ability to

    perform. These tests typically measure physical attributes and capabilities, such as

    strength, balance, and speed.

    9. Work Samples and Simulations

    These tests typically focus on measuring specific job skills or job knowledge, but can

    also access more general skills such as organizational skill, analytic skills, and

    interpersonal skills. Work samples and simulations typically require performance of

    tasks that are the same or similar to those performed on the job to assess their level of

    skill or competence. For example, work samples might involve installing a telephone

    line, creating a document in Word, or tuning an engine.

    Lesson Learnt

    Limitations of the study

    As we know each and everything has its own limitation. No study can be free from

    impediments. The major limitations of internship report are as follows:

    1. Scope: Limited to the study of Foods Division of DS Group2. Focus: Study of recruitment process of: a. Sales b. Production c. Marketing3. Preferences: Candidates which preferred must have the experience of FMCG

    industry only.

    4. Accuracy: Projecting manpower needs over a period of time is a risky one. Itsnot possible to track the current and future needs correctly and convert the same

    into meaningful action guidelines. Factors such as absenteeism, labor turnover,

    seasonal trends in demand, competitive pressures, technological changes and a

    host of other factors may turn the rest of manpower plans as fashionable,

    decorative pieces.

    5. Confidentiality: Confidentiality of certain information at unit level which is notdisclosed.

    Recommendations/Suggestions.

    After analyzing the recruitment & selection procedure of DS Group I got to know about

    some suggestions, that I would like to give in order to make the procedure much better

    than before:

    Recruitment procedure is totally centralized, if there is any vacancy in units orany other department or in any zone than it is first finalized by Corporate HR

    Department, so this prevalent procedure must be changed, and to be converted

    as Department Head can make his own decisions for their candidate as on the

    recommendation of corporate.

    Candidate must be given the result on the date of interview, or as soon aspossible, so that a qualified candidate dont shift to any other job.

    As all the interviews of different zone will be conducted in HQ of DS Groupin Noida, so for the convenience of the candidate, interviews can be conducted

    at the place of requirement.

    Resume will be kept in data bank for 6 months; it must be reduced to 3months.

    Physical examination is also important aspect of selection process which wasmissing here in DS Group Page.

    DS Group can go in for aggressive promotions and advertising to make apresence in the market.

    64/71

    There must be career development opportunity for the employees so that theycan work energetically in the organization as there is high turnover due to lack

    of information in the related sector.

    DS Group also adopts recruitment methods through institutional areas likecolleges, universities.

    The recruitment and selection procedure should not to lengthy and timeconsuming.

    right place becomes essential. Hiring comes at this point of time in the picture. Hiring is a

    attracting applicant and screening them. This step is affected by various factors, which

    can be internal as well as external. The organization makes use of various methods and

    sources for this purpose. Selection is carried from the screen applicant during the

    recruitment process. There is also some specific process is involved. By the way of

    conducting preliminary interview and conducting the various tests, if required reference

    check and further final interview is conducted. During the process there are certain

    difficulties and barriers that are to be overcome. Different organization adopts different

    approaches and techniques for their employees.
