EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe project was undertaken with the objectives to determine the degree of
awareness of Kwality Walls ice-cream and to know the most preferred brands
in the ice-cream segment. The project also demanded to understand customers
perspective towards Kwality Walls. In addition to this the research tried to find
out the preferences of consumers towards other brands. The study wasconducted in the city of Ranchi, which covers Doranda.
HUL is also looking to tap the rural sector so they are also taking into
consideration the needs and wants of the people there. They are also studying
the consumption habits of the rural people, like most of them are daily wage
earners, they are studying the buying patterns of them as well. India has good
potential market for the ice-cream industry. Taste and price are the two main
attributes that people feel important for purchase of ice-cream. Finally as HUL
has been able to create awareness of Kwality Walls but it is more important to
convert those competitors customers into its own customers.

ICE-CREAM INDUSTRY INDIA
Looking at some industry facts first. In 2011, the global market of ice creamswas pegged at $61.6 billion in terms of retail value or 15 billion liters in termsof volume. Of this, the Asia-Pacific ice cream market was worth $13 billion in
terms of retail value and 5,128 million liters in terms of volume. Coming toIndia, the Indian ice cream industry is currently estimated to be worth Rs.2,000 crores, growing at a rate of approximately 12%. RS Sodhi, Chief GeneralManager of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing (GCMMF), the makers ofAmul, explains, The ice cream market in India can be divided into: thebranded market and the grey market. The branded market at present is 100million liters per annum valued at Rs. 800 crores. The grey market consists ofsmall local players and cottage industry players. In 2010-11, in the brandedice cream market, Amul held the number one spot, with a market share or38%, followed by Kwality Walls at 14%, Vadilal at 12% and Mother Diary at8%. Despite a decent growth rate, the ice cream industry faces the challenge of
low per capita consumption.
Though India has a low per capita ice cream consumption of 300 ml perannum, the trend is slowly changing due to a number of reasons. DAREexplores the dynamics of the business.
Indian summers are synonymous with ice creams. Come summers, and youwill see a number of colorful pushcarts selling the choicest of ice creams innumerous flavors from the traditional vanilla and chocolate to unusualvarieties like Mother Diarys Shahi Nazrana. If that doesnt baffle you then theice cream range definitely would, for example the ice cream range for the
children would be entirely different from that for the teenagers or for thatmatter adults. Or, for those who like to have ice cream in peace, there are anumber of ice cream parlors that are opening shop.
But did you know that a 100 ml scoop of your favorite ice cream that youordered may contain upto 50% air! This makes the business a highly profitableventure to get into sometimes, the profits can go upto 100%! However, thereare several challenges to this business as well.
The per capita consumption of ice creams in India is just 300 ml per annum,compared to 22 liters in the US, 18 liters in Australia, 14 liters in Sweden.
India is a way too far behind even in terms of the world average per capita icecream consumption of 2.3 liters per annum. This when India is a country withhot climate with a young population. Pankaj Chaturvedi, Executive Director ofBaskin Robins, explains Indian cuisine has a huge range of desserts in itsmix. Ice cream always competes against these for attention. Besides desserts,ice cream also vies for attention with other like foods for example in summerswith cold drinks, coffee, juice, etc.

KWALITY WALLS
The twentieth century saw an explosion of sorts in the popularity of ice creamowing to availability of cheap refrigeration. Italian confectioners made Gelato,
their own form of Ice Cream, which became immensely famous due its textureand lightness. During the St. Louis Worlds Fair in 1904, cones were used forthe first time to serve Ice Cream.
A chemical research team in Britain came up with the soft ice cream, whichhad more air in it. It became immensely popular because of its creamy yet lighttexture. Today, it is popularly known as the Softy ice cream. In the 1980s, theolder, thicker ice creams made a comeback and were referred to as PremiumIce Creams.
We believe that people need small moments of pleasure in their lives. Ourpassion is inspired by our love for simple ingredients like milk, fruit andchocolate, which make our products the best The Pleasure Food there is. TheIndian Scoop Kwallity Walls was launched in 1995 as Hindustan Unilever Ltds. master brand for ice creams. With in-depth knowledge of the Indian marketand Unilevers state-of-the-art technology, Kwallity Walls has been deliveringsuperior quality products under its international brands.

treats like Magnum and Cornetto, to the refreshing fruit tastes of Solero andfamily favourites like Viennetta.

So we now have scientificevidence to prove what we all already knew, that ice cream really does makeyou happy!
Kwality Wall's : Pleasure Up
Kwality Wall's is one of the major brands in the Indian icecream industry. Thebrand Kwality icecreams which was one of the first icecream brand of Indiacame in into existance in 1940. In 1956, the brand which was a local brandbegan to spread its wings. In 1995, Kwality Icecreams came into HLL's fold andis now marketed as KwalityWall's.
The Indian icecream market is estimated to be around Rs 1500-2000 crorewith the organised market hovering around 600 crore. Kwality Wall's had amarket share of around 40% of this segment. Although HLL and Amul isclaiming leadership in the Indian Icecream market, the fact is that the marketis highly fragmented and increasingly commoditised.
Amul entered the icecream market with a low price that changed the entiredynamics of the game. Kwality Wall's could not sustain the price competitionand withdrew from the mass market. This has resulted in Amul gaining themarket leadership position with around 27 % and Kwality walls reduced itselfas a premium player. ( the market share figures are terribly confusing ).With so many players in the market with little differentiation, the market isfacing the issue of commoditisation. Flavour,taste, quality and Branding are
the major differentiation opportunities in this industry. Flavour and productvarieties were the route taken by major players. But flavours/varieties can beeasily replicated by the competitors. Hence the only meaningful differentiationcould be the brand. Kwality Wall's has some of the blockbuster productvarieties up in its fold like the Cornetto, Feast, Viennetta. But could notsustain because the same was imitated by the competitors.Cornetto became ageneric name but HLL could not capitalise on that popularity.Amul took the life

out of Kwality by positioning itself as " The Real Icecream" since Kwality ismainly made of vegetable oils.
Kwality Wall'sis a major producer and distributor of ice cream and otherdessert products in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore. It is acompany of Hindustan Lever Limited, the arm of Unilever in India, and is anextension of the Wall's ice cream brand of Great Britain.Kwality, the originalIndian company, was founded in 1956, and was the first in the region to importmachinery for the mass production and sale of ice cream on a commercialscale. In 1995, in view of the growth potential of the frozen confections market,Kwality entered into an agreement with Lever, and has since been known by itscurrent umbrella name. At the same time, other brands acquired by HindustanLever, such as Gaylord-Milkfood, were phased out in favour of promoting theKwality Wall's brand. This arrangement allows for local production and sale ofWall's products that are popular in its home market, such as the Cornetto
cone, and to create local variations on others, such as the Feast Jaljeera Blast.
There are over 300 Kwality Parlours in India, which capture consumers withtheir delightful range of ice cream flavors and sundaes. These Parlours attemptto capture on the move and out and about consumer trends and hence areeither exclusive Parlours in colonies/ residential markets or kiosks atmultiplexes, mass malls, etc.
Kwality Ice Cream is the pioneer in the Indian ice-cream manufacturingindustry and in 1956 became the first company in the country to use imported
technology for manufacturing ice-cream on a commercial scale. As the ice-
cream industry exploded in India, in 1995 Kwality Group joined hands with
Hindustan Lever Limited and then there was no looking back. The Indian
consumer market was introduced to KWALITY WALLS the result of a
collaboration between global brand Walls and the leading Indian ice-cream
brand Kwality. Though the two giants eventually parted ways, the collaboration
made Kwality a household name and created deep in roads for the brand in the
consumer market. Today, Kwality is not just a brand it is the ice-cream
associated with the Indian summer; its the first choice in ice-cream for any
child or adult during the scorching Indian summers. Kwality ice-creams are
trusted not only for their rich, creamy flavours, but also for their trusted
quality and nutritious food value.
Kwality Walls, the brand with a big heart, offers a range of delightful frozendesserts that bring smiles to the faces of millions of Indians kids, teens and

COMPETITORS
AMUL THE TASTE OF INDIA
AMUL ICE-CREAM
Amul Ice Cream was launched on 10th March, 1996 in Gujarat. The portfolio
consisted of impulse products like sticks, cones, cups as well as take home
packs and institutional/catering packs. Amul ice cream was launched on the
platform of Real Milk. Real Ice Cream given that it is a milk company and the
holesomeness of its products gives it a competitive advantage.
Today the market share of Amul ice cream is 38% share against the 9% market
share of HLL, thus making it 4 times larger than its closest competitor.Amuls
entry into ice creams is regarded as successful due to the large market share it
was able to capture within a short period of time due to price differential,
quality of products and of course the brand name. Amul has got 70000 retail
outlets for its icecream brands in India and it is planning to extend its
distribution network by further adding 15000 retail outlets in India. During
summer Amul plan to promote their brands through preferred outlets Amul
Parlors and Amul Scooping Parlors across the country. Amul has got 5000
Amul parlors and 400 scooping parlors in India. However it is planning to add
2000 Amul Parlors and 500 Amul Scooping Parlors this summer.
In 1997, Amul ice creams entered Mumbai followed by Chennai in 1998 and Kolkata
and Delhi in 2002. Nationally it was rolled out across the country in 1999. It has
combated competition like Walls, Mother Dairy and achieved the No 1 position in the
country. This position was achieved in 2001 and it has continued to remain at the
top.

MOTHER DAIRY ICE-CREAM
In 1996 Mother Dairy came up with its ice-creams. Mother Dairy ice creams
are now being enjoyed across the markets of Delhi/ NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata,
Punjab, Rajasthan, UP & Uttaranchal. Next year, it plans to go south to
Hyderabad and Bangalore. With India's per capita consumption of ice-cream -
at 200 ml - being among the lowest in the world, opportunity for ice-cream
marketers is abundant. And mother dairy is all geared up to take advantages of
the opportunities ahead. Mother dairy has a huge variety of ice- creams in its
portfolio, from impulse to take away to gallons. The range will be available at
Mother Dairy booths, retail outlets and push carts. In the ice-cream business
their major competitors are Amul, Kwality Walls, Cream bell and Vadilal.
Among these Amul, Kwality Walls are giving neck to neck competition to
mother dairy.But to stay ahead of the competition require special effort. Mother
dairy ice-creams strategy of product differentiation is value created through
quality of the offerings as well as innovations in products. And this is backed
by a relevant marketing and promotion campaigns. At present company claims
65 per cent market share in the ice creams market in Delhi and the National
Capital Region. A harsh summer, a keenly contested battle, and a pampered
consumer. It can't get hotter than that for the ice cream industry

VADILAL
Vadilal ice cream division has always been a hot favorite with the people both inside
and outside the organization. In India, the name Vadilal is synonymous with Ice
Cream.
The Ice Cream industry in India today has a turnover of Rs. 15 billion [US$ 330
million]. A quarter of this comes from the house of Vadilal alone. But thats no
surprise, considering that we have the largest range of Ice Creams in the country
120 plus flavors, in a variety of more than 250 packs and forms. The range includes
cones, candies, bars, ice-lollies, small cups, big cups, family packs, and economy
packs. Something for all tastes, preferences and budgets.
To make it convenient for our consumers to relish our complete range under one roof,
we have set up a chain of Happiness Parlors Ice Cream boutiques so to say. Hordes
of people flock to these parlors daily because they know that our products contain the
purest and creamiest milk and the freshest and tastiest fruits and nuts. Among our
products are OneUp Chocobar and King Cone all-time favorites which have today
attained the generic status. Another hit is our Kulfi traditional Indian milk sweet.
Some of our products are a combination with confectioneries. Vadilal has two ultra
modern ice-cream manufacturing plants - one at village Pundhra, Gujarat and another
at Bareilly, U.P. Both plants are ISO: 9001:2000 and HACCP Certified. Certification of
Bareilly plant is done by BIS and Pundhra plant is done by BVQI under the latest
regulations of food safety system, September 2002.We have integrated backward by
making biscuit-cones and paper cups; and forward, by fabricating deep freezers and
refrigerated vehicles. These help us to serve our distributors, some of whom are
situated over a thousand miles away. In days to come, we plan to further expand ourmanufacturing facilities to meet the growing demand of Ice Creams.

The Ice Cream Business
The ice cream industry has traditionally grown at a healthy rate of 12% year-on-year. The growth in Ice cream industry has been primarily due tostrengthening of distribution network and cold chain infrastructure. Channels
such as Mobile Vending Units have been increasing year on year to reach outto a larger set of consumers. Besides, consumers also have the choice of tryingout varied product offerings from different brands to keep them excited, PaulThachil, CEO Dairy & Foods, Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable.
What exactly is defined as ice cream under the guidelines? The Prevention ofFood Adulteration (PFA) Rules, 1955 define ice cream as a frozen product thatcontains not less than 10% milk fat, 3.5% protein, 36.0% total solids, and 0.5%permitted stabilizer and emulsifier. Players who deviate from these normstactfully call their product "frozen dessert. However, it is illegal to sell icecream which have contents below these specified standards.
The Challenges
There are several challenges that affect the industry adversely. As mentionedearlier, the industry players not only face competition from their competitors,but also from other like foods. Though changing, consumers still consider icecream as a dessert and a side item. Sharing his experience, Sidharth Jaiswal ofJoos, a juice bar chain, says, We had introduced ice creams on anexperimental basis in our juice outlets in Ahmadabad. We observed thatconsumers ordered ice creams as a side item or only when they wereaccompanied by children. We eventually decided not to move ahead with it.Moreover, of the ice cream consumption in India, nearly 60% is accounted toby three flavors of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. And to be on the saferside, major players tend play around these flavors only. For big players,regional competition from smaller players is another major issue.
Another major problem faced by the industry players, especially while
expansion, is poor infrastructure such lack of cold storage and in case of ruralpenetration, even erratic power supply becomes an issue. This is especiallytrue for big players. Manish Vithalani says, Besides the presence of otherplayers, another hurdle is the the high rent charged for floor space, especiallyin malls. This also becomes a problem when we try to expand.

"A very strategic and key part of the business is the vending operation, whichhas been a key driver of availability and growth," added the HUL spokesperson.

LIMITATIONS
Although I have tried my level best to prepare this report an error freereport every effort has been made to offer the most authenticate positionwith accuracy. But there may be a possibility of some error in my report
also.
As whole of my project and my findings are based on the informationcollected through survey fact sheet, hence there might be a possibilitythat respondent may have given wrong or partially correct information.
The research was conducted in a limited area.The time period allotted for the study was less, which may provide a
deceptive picture in comparison to the study based on long run.

RECOMMENDATIONS
India has great potential market for the ice-cream industry. Taste and price arethe two most important attributes that people feel for purchase of ice-cream.
Kwality Walls is doing well with excellent product offerings.
All that has to be changed is the communication strategy. Kwality Walls has to create more touch points for the prospective customers to
interact with the brand.
Selective advertisements in premium magazines, lifestyle television channels,malls, airports etc. would do well.
More visibility can be created by maintaining premium ice-cream parlours withexcellent ambience that would generate word-of-mouth, the most powerful form
of positioning the brand
Ranchi has lot of places which remains overcrowded during the weekends somore mobile vans should be added to increase the sales.
Some of the innovative ideas should be made for the high selling retailers. Suchas forming a club and giving them special packages which will encourage thedealers.
To encourage youth sponsorship programs should be taken.
HUL should come out with offers like HAPPY-HOURS which should start fromnoon and continue till evening because consumption of ice-cream is less duringthese hours compared to night.
