The member of Virani family started the Journey of Balaji Group in a
very very tiny size in the year 1976. Born to a farming family in the
nondescript Dhundhoraj village in Jamnagar district, Virani brothers first
tried their hands in diamond and agriculture kits business in the mid –
1970’s with a very small capital of Rs. 20000/- which their father Popatbhai
gave them for investment. But the effort ended in disaster. Chandubhai
and his brother Bhikhubhai next took up jobs in Rajkot’s Astron Cinema
selling refreshments earning Rs. 100/- and Rs. 155/- per month
respectively. Later when the cinema owner Govindbhai handed over the
canteen to them on contract basis in the year 1976. Chandubhai
introduced Sandwitches with a little help from the women of his household
who supplied him with exotic homemade masala. The Sandwitches soon
went on to prove an instant hit in the Saurashtra region. That’s when Balaji
was born.
According to Chandubhai the huge demand existed at that time could
not be met out of the limited supply from Saurashtra and this motivated
the brothers to fill up the supply gap. Therefore, the semiautomatic plant
was established with production capacity of 400 Kg. per hour. Finally, a
fully automatic plant with production capacity of 1200 Kg. per hour, the
over first in Gujarat was established to after excellent food production to
food lovers of Gujarat. The tremendous entrepreneurship of these brothers
in an excellent illustration of dynamism in business.
Today the Balaji Snack foods business give MNC’s a bite for their

to suggest for their betterment. They are as follows :

customers and more satisfied to its old and loyal customers.

programme.
3. Company has opportunities to expand the business in this field and
other field also. Hence it should explore other line of products.
4. Give more responsibility to lower level management.
5. Must involve lower level management in decision making process
because due to that many innovative ideas may come.
6. The company must improve the marketing network.
7. Within India the company must also explore the southern state and
must penetrate the great potential of huge marketing network.
8. The company research to more diverfication to cater to the needs of
both rich and poor. This will ultimate and hence the overall
profitability.
9. To cater to the need of millions of Indian customer, the company
should not only a great the quality of every product but also it can
follow both skimming pricing strategy to with stand fears
competition. Since the present manmohan government is above to
invite foreign direct investment in “Retail Business” Balaji Wafers
