HISTORY OF UNIT

Most of the have a modest beginning. The infancy of this

company began more than 20 years ago in 1982 with the efforts of Mr.

Bhikubhai, Mr. Chandubhai, Mr. kanubhai & the numbers of their family.

When Chandubhai & Bhikhubhai was working an contact

basis for supplying of wafers to canteen of Astron theatre at Rajkot city they

got readymade products from third party manufacturer & supply the same to

canteen of astron theatre. But as usual there was problem of short supply as

well as delay in supply of the product an time. As this kind of problem lead a

business to verify “something” had to be alone in these regards as the

ultimate

To all these problems they decide to manufacture wafers its own

& supply the same to canteen. And thus foundation of the Balaji was setup

without any brand name.

This development had lead Balaji wafers producers to “Balaji

Wafers Pvt Ltd in 1990. They introduced production & packaging machinery

in 1997 to deal with huge demand.

Recently they had set up a huge fully automatic plant with the

production capacity of 1200 Kg. per how far production as well as nitrogen

‘ Business standard paper dated 10th September 2003

addressed Chandubhai virani as the ‘wafer sultan’ in the ‘meet your enter

rear’ column.

BALAJI AND VIRANI

Balaji and Virani -- the combination sounds familiar. The Virani

family of Balaji Telefilms’ soap Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi may be a

household name, but here’s an other Virani family from real, not reel, life that

has stormed Gujarati homes. With Balaji snack foods, what else? When four

Virani brothers from Rajkot (Saurashtra) – Meghjibhai, Chandubhai,

Bhikhubhai and Kanubhai – entered the snackfoods business two decades

ago, they never thought that one day they would give the MNCs a bite for

their money. But today, Balaji Wafers has emerged more than a munch for

Page 12: mkt BALAJI WAFER TYBBA

Pepsi’s Frito – Lay, with almost 70% of the state’s wafers market in its pocket,

err, packet.

Their very own version of the Virani family drama, starting in

Saurashtra’s commercial club Rajkot in a dingy cinema hall canteen, has all

the masala of an entrepreneurial zing. But that’s where the similarity between

the TV show and family business drama seems to end. The Virani’s say they

never quite borrowed the Virani – Balaji combo from TV; if at all, it should

have been the other way round. Because their Balaji saga actually started

back in 1982, when Balaji Telefilms promoter Jeetendra was still known as

the Jumping Jack.

Born to a farming family in the nondescript Dhundhoraji village in

Jamnagar district, brothers Virani first dirtied their hands in the diamond and

agriculture kits business in the mid 1970s. But the effort ended in disaster.

“We tried trading in diamonds and agricultural kits. But lost the entire Rs. 20,

000 capital our father gave us”. Says Chandubhai, managing director of

Balaji Wafers Pvt. Ltd, and a class X passout.Chandubhai and his brother

Meghjibhai next took up jobs in Rajkot’s Astron Cinema selling refreshments.

“I earned Rest. 100 per month while my brother took home Rs. 155,” he

recalls.

Later, when the cinema owner Govindbhai handed over the canteen to

them on contract basis in 1976, Chandubhai introduced sandwiches, with a

little help from the dadies of his household who supplied him with exotic home

made masala. The sandwiches soon went on to prove an instant hit in the

Saurashtra region. Even, the Viranies continue selling their sandwiches,

though they rake in less than a fraction of their turnover.

Noticing early on that potato wafers constituted 80% of the refreshment

sale, the brothers decided to turn that into their core business. That’s when

Balaji was born. “We even managed to get a specialist cook, but he turned

Page 13: mkt BALAJI WAFER TYBBA

out to be a shirker. So, often, I had to slice potatoes and fry them myself,”

Says Chandubhai, strongly advocating a do-it-yourself attitude towards

business.

8

“The demand for wafers was tremendous and the supply limited, given

the distribution constraints in those days. Companies located in Mumbai

could not meet the local demand, so we decided to pitch in and make good of

the supply gap,” says Chandubhai, turning nostalgic at thought of how, 23

years ago, he had purchased 60 kg potatoes to make 15 kg of wafers.

Today, with gradual automation that began in 1993 Balaji has the

capacity to produce 1200 kg wafers per hour. The viranies even took a Rs.

15 Crore loan from corporation bank to mechanize production. The

technology was sourced from the U.S. and U.K and Germany to help

improve quality.

It market estimates are to be believed, Viranies have build Rs. 150

Crore business out of potato wafers. Of course the brothers themselves

refused to reveal the size of their profit and sales. However market

estimates, says that it could be around 125 Crore.

All that they say, instead, is that in the first ten years, 1982 to 1992

while the business grew the revenues were small. So even as the family

sifted to a 750 sq. yard house in the city, family members continued to do

most of the processing including procuring potatoes, cleaning them, frying

them and even packaging them. From going about distributing the product on

a moped, they bought a rickshaw two years latter. A tempo was subsequently

added with a Rs. 1.8 lakh loan form a bank.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

INTRODUTION

For every activity done there is gone objective behind it.

There may be various objectives behind doing marketing research. The

objectives may be to get the answer of the questions like who buys

such products. How often do they buy it? Etc. After deciding the

objective, the next step is the research purpose i.e. the method that will

be used for the research purpose.

The different methods for conducting marketing research are

as follows:-

1. Opinion pool methods

2. Survey methods:

a. Personal survey (Questionnaire)

b. Mail survey

c. Telephone survey

3. Expert opinion method

In my report I have used personal survey method. The

questionnaire was prepared keeping in view certain objectives.

25

Page 31: mkt BALAJI WAFER TYBBA

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

“Marketing research is the systematic design, collection,

analysis and reporting of data and findings relevant to a specific

marketing situation facing the company”. –Philip Kotler

This first step calls for the marketing research to find the

problem carefully and agree on research objective “a problem well

defined is hale solved.”

Advertising plays important role to increase sale. But today

no one is going to sale or purchase good if they are not getting extra

benefit. Today is an era of getting extra. The research is the only way

which is helpful in finding out all the problems. The main objective of

my research work is to find out consumer satisfaction for Balaji

Wafers with respect to its product features.

DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH PLAN

The second stage of marketing research calls for developing

the most efficient plan for gathering the need information. Designing a

research plan calls for decisions on the followings.

1) DATA SOURCES: The researcher can gather primary

data as well as secondary data. Primary data are gathered for a

specific purpose and for a specific research project. The primary

source of my project work is the sample of consumers of the

Rajkot district.

26

Page 32: mkt BALAJI WAFER TYBBA

2) RESEARCH APPROACHES: Primary data can be

collected in five ways: observation, focus group, survey, behavioral

data, and experiments. Out of these five we have gone for surveys.

Survey researches are best suited of descriptive research to learn

about people’s knowledge, beliefs, preference, and satisfaction and

to measure these magnitudes in the general population.

3) RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS: Marketing research has a

choice of two main researches instrumental in collecting primary

data: questionnaires and mechanical devices. For a better option

I had gone for questionnaires. A questionnaire consists of a set

of questions presented to respondents for their answers. Because

of its flexibility, the questionnaire is by far the most common

instrument used to collect primary data.

4) SAMPLING PLAN: After deciding on the research

approach and instruments, it is necessary to design a sampling

plan. This plan calls for three decisions:

(a) Sampling unit:

Who is to be surveyed? It should be defined in a research the target

population that will be sampled. Once the sampling unit is determined, a

sampling frame must be developed so that everyone in the target

population has an equal chance of being sampled. To fulfill this purpose, I

had taken consumers as a sample

27

Page 33: mkt BALAJI WAFER TYBBA

(b) Sample size:

How many people should be surveyed? Large samples give more

reliable results than small samples. However, it is not necessary to

sample the entire target population or even a substantial portion to achieve

reliable results. Samples of less than 1% of the population can often

provide good reliability, given a credible sampling procedure. So, I had

decided to take the sample size as 100 from consumers of Rajkot

district.

(c) Sampling procedure:

How should the respondents to be chosen? To obtain a

representative sample I, had selected consumers of Rajkot district who

prefers Balaji Wafers.

CONTACT METHODS

Once the sampling plan has been determined, it must be

decided how the subject should be contacted: mail, telephone,

personal, or on-line interviews. So, for my research I had selected

personal interview (Questionnaire). As personal interviewing is the

most versatile method, the interviewer can ask more questions and

record additional observations about the respondent. Personal

interviewing is the most expensive method and requires more

administrative planning and supervision than three, which is the big

loop hole of it.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Each and every study has several limitations so in my study has also

some limitation.

1. I did sampling by the Probability Area Sampling so

some of the remote area of the Rajkot is not covered

2. The findings are based on the research in Rajkot City

only and thus the conclusions may not be true for other cities.

3. Times and costs were always a constraint.

4. The study can not give the accurate results because the

sample size is very small.

Page 60: mkt BALAJI WAFER TYBBA

SWOT analysis is a good tool for a manager, like a

thermometer. Stethoscope for a doctor.

STRENGTH:-

Enable you to best foot forward the biggest strength is

company’s brand image.

The quality of the product, as well as its reasonable

price is the second strength.

The distribution network of Balaji wafers all over Gujarat

is excellent.

WEAKNESS:-

Only when you recognize them. You can correct them

Balaji Wafer Sales its products just in selected states of

India.

Balaji has still not introduced wafers in various tastes in

order to compute with the multination.

Very less spending on advertisement

52

Page 61: mkt BALAJI WAFER TYBBA

OPPORTUNITITES:-

They are plenty event in adversity evaluate.

Expand its area of operation & give new varieties in its

product range.

Diversity their business in the form of franchising.

Increase production & expand their distribution area to

capture national market.

THREATS:-

They are like tickling bombs defuse them by taking preventing

actions.

The biggest threat is of the MNCs that may eat away their

share.

If they restrict their boundaries of operation then in long

run it will affect its profitability.

SUGGESTION

but there are some eye catching loops.

# Company has opportunities to expand the business in its

field & other field also.

international market.

# They should advertise their products by modern means of

media.

# They should use promotional tools to increase their sales.
