EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I have decided to present PDCS minor Project on Videocon after studying its Product Range and Services. I worked on Refrigrators of Videocon India Ltd. . I have chosen Videocon for many reasons. It is one of the biggest Indian Electrical brands not only in India but also globally. Indeed, Videocon is one of the fastest paced Electrical Products worldwide. Videocon thus posed an exciting opportunity to study a brand that is automatically associated with youth and technology. I worked on Videocon in order to understand the various aspects of its marketing strategy that has made it the Number 1 MNC of India. I focused on its strategies in Refrigerators in comparison with LG, Samsung, Godrej and Whirlpool.

Page 6: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

INTRODUCTION1.1 OVERVIEW

Videocon Industries Ltd. was one of the initials

company that made it to the World. Videocon

Electricals captured the initial Indian Electrical market

and topped the charts for its products such as

Refrigerators, television etc. before other players such

as Samsung,Whirlpool etc .entered Indian market.

Videcon was one of the first Electronic Company to

Collaborate with Japanese Toshiba Ltd as early as

1985.

Page 7: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

1.2 OBJECTIVE

Videocon is a company hard to pass by as it was one of

the few Indian Companies to be listed in Fortune 500

beside being initial Indian MNC. With its wide range

of electrical product range I choose the one that has

kept the Indian cools in enthralling summers

Refrigerators. The Hot and Humid weather of the

country had made many Korean and Americans

countries to walk into Indian market earlier captured

by Indian Electronics Giant Videocon. The effect on

Videocon and its strategy thus become my area and/or

object of study,

COMPANY PROFILE

HISTORY

A Man of ideas. A man of substance. A man of vision,

Shri Nandlal Madhavlal Dhoot, the founder of the

Videocon group, completed his education in

Ahmednagar, Pune and in Maharashtra, India. A

successful sugarcane and cotton grower, he boldly

ventured forth and imported machinery from Europe,

setting up the Gangapur Sakhar Karkhana (Sugar Mill)

in 1955, at a time when the village had no electricity,

thereby unleashing an industrial revolution.

The die was cast. Over the years, Nandlalji's

pioneering spirit found expression in a myriad ways,

earning him the well-deserved reputation of the doyen

of industrial activity in Marathwada, India.

In early 80s, Nandlalji initiated his three sons -

Venugopal, Rajkumar and Pradeep into the business.

Through a technical tie-up with Toshiba Corporation of

Japan, he launched India's first world -class Colour

Television: Videocon.

capacity of 1.7 million Glass Shells for Color

Picture Tubes and 0.25 million glass Bulbs for

Black & white Picture Tubes and Monochrome

Monitor Tubes, is located at Village Chavai,

District Bharuch, Gujarat.

SUCCESS STORIES

The Heights of Success

Page 15: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

VNG has some remarkable achievements to its credit,

starting with the successful absorption of sophisticated

technology from Techneglas Inc., USA. The CTV

Glass Shells manufactured by VNG are at par with

international standards and the Color Picture Tubes

made with VNG glass have already received VDE

approval. The facilities include a state-of-the-art Tool

Room and Mould Shop to manufacture and maintain

its mould requirements. Having initially successfully

established its 20V, 19V and 13V CTV glass parts,

VNG has now developed the 20V 2R the latest models.

A Picture Perfect Future

Till 1994, Indian manufacturers of CTV Picture Tubes

were importing Glass Shells. VNG's production has

replaced these imports, thereby saving almost Rs.200

crores of precious foreign exchange every year.

VNG has now surpassed the norms of performance

guaranteed by the collaborator, Techneglas Inc.,

U.S.A. and is operating the plant with 150% capacity

utilization - with efficiencies exceeding international

standards. Where fields of sugarcane grow tall and

Page 16: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

proud. Where bushes of cotton bud blooms. Where

tourists flock to the world-famous caves of Ajanta and

Ellora.

Where India's NO.1 Consumer Electronics and Home

Appliances take shape, to take millions of Indians into

a better, brighter future.

This is Marathwada, India, where the Dhoot family

launched Videocon International Limited in 1984, with

the avowed purpose of producing world-class Colour

Television through a technical tie-up with Toshiba

Corporation of Japan. Within a decade, Videocon

emerged as India's leading brand of both Colour and

Black & White Televisions and continues to dominate

this highly competitive market.

The leader innovates. The leader forges ahead. The

leader breaks new ground. Harnessing the advanced

technology, relentlessly pursuing quality to achieve

various international standards of Quality Control.

Breaking through, time and again, with innovative

products for a better life.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

(REFRIGERATOR INDUSTRY IN INDIA)

THREAT OF ENTRY

Barriers of entry

Economies of scale:

The players like Godrej, BPL , Whirlpool, Videocon

and Electrolux have achieved economies of scale.

Godrej has a capacity utilization of 75% and the

highest capacity in the industry. This declines their unit

cost of every function of business and enables them to

keep their prices low. This will force the entrant to

come in at a large scale and risk strong reactions from

them or come at a small scale and accept a cost and

price disadvantage.

Godrej also possesses economies of vertical integration

as it manufactures its own compressors, which

constitutes a substantial part of the manufacturing cost.

The other players like BPL and Videocon who are

currently outsourcing their compressors also plan to set

Page 30: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

up their own manufacturing units for compressors in

the long run. 

Product differentiation:

The companies like Godrej, BPL and Videocon, being

very old players in the Indian market enjoy high brand

awareness and consumer loyalties. These brand names

are associated with trust and reliability in the Indian

market.

The Korean players like LG and Samsung who

engaged in heavy advertising and brand promotion

during the last year have also created a niche for them

in the premium segment. Their brand awareness has

grown tremendously after the recent Cricket World

Cup Tournament, during which they advertised

heavily. 

These create a barrier to entry by forcing the entrant to

spend heavily to overcome existing consumer loyalties

and to build a brand image.

Capital Requirements:

Huge Capital requirements are posed in front of the

new entrant in terms of advertising, product

Page 31: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

development, Production facilities, Distribution

channel credit, inventories and for covering up the

start-up losses.

Access to the distribution channels:

The Indian players like Godrej, Videocon and BPL

which are catering to the mass market have a strong

distribution and dealer  network.. They have a presence

in the urban as well as the rural areas. Moreover these

companies have established developed ties with the

channel members over the period of time, which are

hard to break.

Whirlpool has also developed a strong network of 4000

dealers in urban and semi urban areas in a period of

few years.

The South Korean Majors like Samsung and LG have a

dealer network of more than 1500, mainly in urban

areas and plan to expand it in rural and semi urban

areas also.

This poses a major threat in front of the new entrant as

the existing firms already serve the channels and the

new entrant will have to persuade the channels to

Page 32: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

accept its product through high margins, promotional

allowances, better credit facilities and advertising

support, which will reduce the profits.  

Cost disadvantage independent of scale

Learning or Experience curve: The old players like

Godrej, BPL, Videocon are high on the experience

curve, as they know the Indian Market well. This

Experience lowers their costs in production, marketing,

and distribution and in other areas of business, thus

giving a cost disadvantage to the new entrant.

Government policy: The Government policies of

levying duties on the imported Refrigerators and

refrigerator parts gives an advantage to the Indian

Players and in a way protect them from price

competition in the market with the MNCs.

Expected retaliation: The industry as a whole faces

excess capacity and the supply exceeds demand and so

the existing competitors are expected to respond

forcefully to a new entrant. The new entrant will face

competition based on the  segment to which it tries to

cater

Page 33: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

If the company enters in the Direct cool segment

Godrej and Whirlpool will pose the major threat.

If the company enters in the Frost free, high capacity

segment (above 300 Ltrs) it will have to face main

competition from LG, Samsung, BPL and Whirlpool. 

2. INTENSITY OF RIVALRY AMONG THE

EXISTING COMPETITORS.

The companies in the Refrigerator industry of India

can be divided into four strategic groups based on

the price and the perceived quality of the products.

These groups also differ in their target segments

and the strategies adopted to cater to it.

5) Voltas

1. LG, Samsung: This strategic group includes the

South Korean MNCs. These are the players who are

operating only in the frost-free segment and carry a

large product length. They have products only in the

above 300 Ltrs segment. These brands follow the

Premium strategy of high quality at high price. They

are targeting to the upper income as well as the higher

middle class of the society with the products that are

associated with status. These companies have shown a

tremendous growth in few years.

2. BPL, Whirlpool: BPL, the market leader in the

Frost-free segment and Whirlpool of India, the

subsidiary company of the US giant Whirlpool form

this group. They have frost-free models in the below

300 Ltrs capacity segments as well as the above 300

Ltrs segment. The models in above 300 Ltrs segment

cater to the replacement market and to the higher

Page 35: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

middle class. These aim at providing high quality at a

moderate price.

The models in the below 300 Ltrs are targeted at the

first time buyers of middle class and are not high in

price.

3. Godrej: These are the old brands of India, which

have high brand awareness and presence in urban as

well as the rural Markets. These are mainly serving to

the Direct cool segment and have few models in the

frost-free segment. These brands are catering to the

middle class and are not very high in prices.

4. Videocon: This is the company, which introduced

Frost-free refrigerators in India. The products are value

for money products. With the lowest prices in the

market it is catering to the middle class of the society.

5. Voltas: These companies cater to the middle and

lower middle class of buyers with their low priced

ranges.

The companies in the market witness a tough

competition from the other members of its strategic

group as they fight for the same chunk of the market.

Page 36: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

As their products do not differ much in the features,

they try to differentiate their brands through copy

differentiation in advertising.

The competition intensifies as most of the companies

are using the same dealer network to distribute their

products. They lure the dealers to promote their

product by different strategies on margins, incentives

and credit and payment terms.

The competition increases as all the companies have

high Strategic stakes in the Refrigerator Business. A

major fraction of their revenues come from this

business and so they retaliate sharply to any move of

the competitor.

The industry has high Exit Barriers for the members

who have invested in the manufacturing facilities in

India in the form of specialized assets.

3. PRESSURE FROM THE SUBSTITUTES

The domestic refrigerators have no substitutes and so it

faces no threats in terms of that.

Page 37: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

4. BARGAINING POWER OF THE BUYERS

The bargaining power of the consumers is high due to

the presence of many competitive products in the

market.

The refrigerator models available are not much

differentiated in terms of the features, and so the

buyers can switch between the different brands based

on other criteria like Price, service, warranty,

promotion and financing schemes.

5. BARGAINING POWER OF THE SUPPLIERS.

Not very High

Page 38: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS IN THE

INDUSTRY

The Refrigerator companies in the industry use

different distribution channels to reach the customer.

These are as follows:

1.   In this type of channel the company uses its sales

representatives to deal with the dealers directly. The

dealers place the order through the sales

representatives who visit them periodically, and the

products are delivered directly from the company.

Some companies appoint Direct Dealers who act as

their Franchisee Outlets or their Exclusive showrooms.

BPL uses this channel

Page 39: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

 

2.   In this channel of distribution the company

appoints distributors on the basis of District/

Population /No of Dealers to be handled by one

distributor. The area of operation and its potential is

also taken into consideration.

Some of the companies make the distributor totally

responsible from appointing the dealers to providing

after sales service.

Page 40: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

Godrej use this channel

 

3.   In this channel of distribution the company

appoints Distributors as well as Direct Dealers. The

company appoints distributors to deal with small

dealers who order small quantities. With the dealers

who have good potential and sales the company deals

directly.

Videocon and Samsung use this channel: The

Korean Multinational follow this channel where they

appoint Distributors for upcountry towns and direct

dealers for big cities and major towns eg. Ahmedabad.

Page 41: Minor Project Report on Videocon-

4.    In this channel the company appoints a C&F agent

who acts on behalf of the company. The C&F agent is

totally responsible for appointment of Distributors and

Direct Dealers. He sells to both the Distributors and the

Direct Dealers at the same rates.

has the sensi-control system. An intelligent device that

senses even the slightest rise in temperature; when you

place a hot dish inside the refrigerator, with that the air

vents open and the rush of cool air inside brings the

temperature down to the required level. That's science

at work for you, ensuring you and your family eats
