Why to form company
We have unique idea to produces a product which will be the only product available in the

attractive market, right now no one is present in market with this idea so we are trying to
commercializing this idea into profitable business.
In future if conditions are not suitable for our business then we will diversify and change our
product. We will change our product (ready to drink tea) to milk tea powder and milk coffee
powder. Reason for producing this product (milk tea powder and milk coffee powder) is
basically the requirement of machines for (milk tea powder and milk coffee powder) is same
which is required for ready to drink tea.
Our company operates in brewery industry but serves in ready to drink sector it is because
it’s a new product. Our company main business is to serve hot hygienic tea and which can be
consume any where any time at any place.

grown by 40%.
There has been a considerable increase in export too in the past few years. Total net
foreign exchange earned per annum is around Rs. 1847 crores.

generates income for another 10 million people approximately. Women constitute
50% of the workforce.

Trend in industry which provides opportunities and challenges to our
business
Market Trends
Our target markets are increasingly growing towards recognizing the difference between
poor quality brews and those of high quality. This development is an important trend for us
as it represents our target market. We now are having an increasing number of people who
appreciate the traditional brews whilst living in the urban areas. With this in mind we intend
to ensure that our packaging is respectable and attractive.
Today's extremely stressful work environment dictates that individuals consume healthy
drinks especially in the summer season, this presents an opportunity that we may exploit,
marketing the health aspect of our beverages
Opportunities
• Specific niche: Appreciation for high-quality brew, enjoyment, and refreshment (and
integration therein).
• The new generation of individuals and families has a far greater appreciation of attractive
packaging and have very high adoptability of new product by(Diamond W.D., and
Campbell, L. (1989) “The Framing of Sales Promotions: Adoptability of consumer play
important role” Advances in Consumer Research, Vol. 16, pp. 241-247.) now they are
very much status conscious.
• Current drive by government and specialized institutions such as the Indian Export
Development and Investment Authority towards export of locally manufactured products.
• Internet marketing and sales--though still in its infancy.
• Increasing number of foreign firms, especially from South Africa looking at penetrating
the market.
Challenges
The present growth in the market may result in market saturation, through competition. This
competition could emerge from a variety of given sources including:
• Established mass-market companies' development of new lines and vertically integrating
so as to be totally in control of supplies and products being sold on the respective
markets.
6
• New marketing strategies and tactics by established companies like nestle bru etc
• Existing competition.(Nescafe machine)
• Other start-up companies generated by healthy economic growth nationwide.
• Intolerable price increases by suppliers may occur. (Due to high inflation)
Target Market
o We are initially targeting only on Gujarat and in also Gujarat also we are targeting only on
urban area like Ahmadabad, Baroda, and Surat .Plant for production will be in Baroda.
Population density of cities which are our target market:
Ahmadabad -3,769,846
Baroda -1,200,981
Surat -4,505,000
Basically our business will serve only Ahmadabad Baroda and Surat cites initially and our
targets populations are travelers and business executives these are the following reason why
we selected these cities.
In these cities largest bus depot of Gujarat are builds which connects all cities of
Gujarat (urban, semi urban, rural) with these cities (Ahmadabad Baroda and Surat).
In these cities large number of MNCs, cooperates house and company are present
which make these cities as a business hub of Gujarat, therefore in these cities large
number of people are employed, and huge number of people are travelling daily.

According to the Trade Department, the tea market has been growing at a steady rate of 7%
per annum although it is projected to increase slightly in 2008 and 2009 & Income level per
capita is increased by 4 to 5% only so we can expect to grow market by 4% yearly

Macro-environment
Over the last few year abnormal weather has affected many parts of India, during the key
summer season. It has been extraordinarily severe with heavy rainfall, flooding and there
definitely promises to be low temperatures, particularly in the winter season in eastern
region of India. This is likely to have an adverse effect on our initial financial performance,
though marginal as consumption levels may decrease slightly.
At a large scale, market research demonstrates that the tea industry market is growing and
changing. Generally there is a trend toward more appealing and attractive tea brews as
potential customers either are moving to the urban areas as a result of urbanization or are
satisfied with an existing tea brew in their area. Research indicates that those in the rural
areas are often satisfied with the existing ted brew due to lack of access to other higher-
quality ted brews, whilst the new generation of executives being more educated and aware
of the global environment wants to be seen drinking something attractive and recognized by
others--status recognition. In addition this same market is not only more image conscious
but appreciative of a quality tea brew as it is more selective. Therefore with the emergence
of this generation of individuals, the appreciation of quality tea brews and packaging,
dictates that our product lines will be popular.
Private sector development has been recognized as a vital ingredient in creating employment
and training opportunities, and realizing the national goal of sustainable economic
diversification. In addition to the country increasingly becoming a tourist destination, we
foresee the demand for our products especially in the resorts and lodges airlines railway
station etc where it will be promoted. Through undertaking of our professional business
activities we foresee that it should not be too difficult to gain market acceptance provided
we deliver the final product on time, of good quality, and at competitive prices.
Technology
A.D.corparation Ltd will strive to maintain the latest and most efficient assembly
technology so as to ensure quality-tea brewed beverages, and maintain low production costs
ultimately benefiting the consumer. Keeping abreast with technological developments will
ensure we gain and maintain a competitive advantage utilizing the latest production
techniques.
Future Products
In putting the company together we have attempted to offer enough products to allow us to
always be in demand by our customers and clients. The most important factor in developing
future products is market need. Our understanding of the needs of our target market
segments shall be one of our competitive advantages. It is critical to our effort to develop
the right new products. We also intend to have what we call a "core product engine" that
will be the foundation of future products. This shall be established in time as we determine
our core product. In the future, A.D. Corporation will broaden its coverage by expanding
into additional markets and additional product areas. In doing so we will strive to ensure that
it is compatible with the existing products and assembly technology.
11
o Fulfillment of consumer needs through
1. The key fulfillment and delivery will be provided by the principals and values of the
business. The real core value will be the provision of a thirst quenching refreshing brew,
provided by a combination of quality ingredients, good production techniques, hard work,
and education (in that order). Hence we intend to ensure that the products we produce are
always of high quality and standards, and available to the relevant target market.
2. We will turn to reliable farmers, suppliers and distributors who will assist in ensuring that
the products are delivered timely and are of the highest quality. We will also rely on these
stakeholders for relevant information on the market situation (trends, consumer tastes,
feelings and comments amongst other things).
Competitors Analysis

The present growth in the market may result in market saturation, through competition. This
competition could emerge from a variety of given sources including:
o Competitive Edge
Our competitive edge will be our dominance of access to previously untouched areas,
customer orientation and traditional high-quality tea through stringent quality control.
Although Nescafe tea vending machine dominates the local market, it does not penetrate
13
the untouched areas.
Industry Analysis
Industry analysis information is presented in the following subtopics.
14
factor in this market is the distribution network. This is particularly so considering the good
distribution network.
• Main Competitors
Being in a predominantly monopolistic market structure, competition in the tea manufacturing
market as a whole is not that intense (in terms of numbers) at the current time due to the
dominance of Nescafe tea vending machine, which has been on the market for a relatively long
period of time. Cognizance should also be taken of home tea who represent competition on our
intended market. However upon closer research we identified several niches in the market such
as tea stalls, café, restaurants etc that we may exploit, not wanting to confront one-on-one with
them.
In general, our competition will be stiff, as we intend to penetrate the high to medium earning
customer. At the same time we shall be differentiating ourselves from Nescafe tea vending
machine, tea stalls, café, restaurants etc. We intend to market ourselves in such a way that with
time competitor customers will choose our products over competitors' on the basis of our higher
quality, thirst-quenching tea and give assurances of hygienic.
Nescafe
Recent financial results from Nescafe Holdings indicate that the organization as a whole has
continued to perform exceptionally well . Turnover grew by 42% whilst operating profit is up
15
60% from $21.5 million to $34.5 million. For the 12 months to 31 March 2006, volume growth
exceeded non-mining GDP growth by more than 2%, resulting in turnover growth of 12%.
According to the audited results, higher volumes and turnover coupled with greater productivity
and stringent cost controls translated into excellent earnings growth. With this in mind we
strongly believe that there is an extremely lucrative market we may exploit.
Market segmentation
A.D. tea Breweries Ltd will be focusing on the corporate and working class who appreciate
good quality traditional tea. The working class will range from the miners who constitute a large
portion of the market, to administrative personnel appreciative of good quality traditional tea.
The corporate or managerial segment will constitute those managers who though aware of their
image and reputation, want to put aside their ties and jackets after hours and/or on weekdays to
drink good traditional tea, easily accessible in the urban areas.
Our most important group of potential customers are those who want to have an enjoyable time
whilst drinking a good refreshing tea beverage. They do not want to waste their time making
their own tea brew, but appreciate a good quality tea at a reasonable price.
We also intend to appeal to the foreign and local tourists who would be looking at experiencing
traditional foods and drinks, a change from the usual beverages they often have
We intend to provide a quality tea that not only quenches one's thirst and gives refreshment at
anytime & anywhere but also enables one to enjoy themselves and be proud of it.
Our products will a status building product with quality, hygiene and with attractive packaging
which give instant refreshment.
Marketing strategies
Our marketing strategy emphasizes focus. This will be the key. We are a relatively new company
and hence must focus on certain kinds of products with certain kinds of consumers. Initially
A.D.Tea breweries Ltd will focus on the local market and in the urban and previously
inaccessible areas where there is a large market for our products. Hence the form of growth that
shall be initially pursued will be that of organic growth mainly due to limited resources and the
need to instill confidence in our products. The target customers will include key decision-makers
the aim being to obtain an initial order and fully satisfy the customer from then on.
• We are currently building image and awareness through consistency and distinctiveness
in our product provision.
16
• We intend to focus on delivering quality products that in turn produce good referrals,
which can then generate revenue. We intend to always have a relatively heavy personal
selling component to our marketing strategy as previously discussed. Hence we intend to
always be active in personal relationships with clients and strategic allies keeping abreast of
their needs and wants.
• We are focusing advertising on several key media.
We intend to achieve growth by creating a more enthusiastic customer culture than that of our
competitors. All criteria from price competitiveness to staff attitudes are to be initially measured
six-monthly, and then on a more regular basis as time goes on. The results will go down to depot
level and be compared with the overall target. This form of consistent measurement of strategic
goals will ensure that the organization remains focused on its goals and objectives, making any
necessary adjustments where need be.
• Value Proposition
Our value proposition is offering our customers refreshness and enjoyment at reasonable prices
ensuring peace of both body and mind. Hence we intend to:
1. Market the benefit, not the product.
2. Ensure customer satisfaction.
3. Develop long relationships.
4. Market the company.
This value proposition shall be communicated through advertisements, personal selling, sales
literature and catalogues, and referrals that emphasize how the company is able to provide
refreshment, enjoyment and fulfillment to the customers.
Marketing mix
One core element of our marketing strategy will be that of differentiation from our competitors.
In terms of promotion, we intend to sell our company as a differentiated strategic ally, not just
our products. In price, we intend to offer extremely reasonable prices in comparison to the
competition and we need to be able to sustain that. Market penetration through premium pricing
which will focus on the upper-end of the market which is premium segment.
• Product strategy
Our product marketing will emphasize the benefits of consuming our products, including
refreshment and enjoyment of top-quality tea with hygiene. We intend to sell the opportunity to
enjoy oneself amongst friends, family and/or colleagues. This will come out in our advertising,
delivery and collateral such as sales literature and business cards. Our product marketing's most
important challenge will be the problem of being accepted and appreciated on the market as a
provider of quality products. Hence we intend to not only meet customers' expectations but to
exceed them, initially targeting a market share of 6%.
We intend to focus on the individual or group who want to enjoy themselves through the
consumption and sharing of refreshing hygienic tea. However, not wanting to limit our horizons
in the initial period, we intend to be continually looking out for opportunities that we may
17
exploit. In all cases we intend to provide a thorough understanding and appreciation of the
products to the customer and the benefits of consuming them.
• Pricing Strategy
Initially our prices will not be under our control but dictated by the market conditions prevailing
at the particular time. This is particularly so in the case of products which are also produced by
our competitors, as they are often representing a scale for consumers. However we realize that
we must charge appropriately for the quality and work we shall be providing, in addition to the
distribution of the products. Hence we intend the price will accommodate the mark ups
prevailing in the industry, as well as our own costs. To be competitive in the market we intend to
offer discounts to customers making bulk orders, which are in competition with the industry.
This will also assist in the establishment of customer loyalty. Hence our prices shall be as
follows:
Product 100ml 200ml
Thrust 15 20
Zero 25 30
We intend our income structure to match our cost structure, so as to ensure that the salaries we
pay to assure good workmanship is balanced by the price we charge. We will make sure that we
charge for the product, workmanship and delivery with our aim being to achieve a gross profit
margin of at least 30% in our initial years of operation. All in all we intend our prices to be
extremely competitive on the market.
• Promotion Strategy
Our promotion strategy will be based primarily on informing potential customers of our
existence and making the right information available to our target customer. Since we shall be
targeting different segments, the promotional tools and messages may vary slightly to match the
intended market. However in all cases the marketing will convey the sense of quality, refreshness
and hygienic in every picture, every promotion and every publication. Promotional campaigns
will seek to promote the 'sharing aspect' of the tea, customers drinking these products in groups.
Our promotional activities shall be focused towards driving the organization's overall strategy
relentlessly, developing internal consistency and prepare it to confront any radical changes that
may arise. In such a market we cannot afford to appear in, or produce, second-rate material that
make our products look less than they are. We intend to leverage our presence using quality
brochures and other sales literature, including promotional material such as pens, complimentary
slips and stickers. Due to the fact that our products are in the introductory phase on the market,
promotional expenses are high in order to generate customer attention and knowledge of our
products existence.
We intend to spread the word about our business through the following:
Advertising
In view of the fact that we are entering a market largely dominated by Nescafe Limited. We
intend to undertake extensive advertising of our products in addition to our brand name--
company name. This is so as to instill awareness and knowledge of our existence in the market
18
place, which hopefully shall convert into market share. Hence the need to ensure that our
products are constantly available to our target market, and of consistent high quality. Whilst we
are committed to providing products of uncompromising quality to meet the needs and
expectations, the company believes its products should be advertised and promoted in an honest
and ethical manner that respects the values of our consumers' societies. Examples A constant
look out will also be made of any special editions in the local newspapers, which may provide an
opportunity to advertise.
Events
These are increasingly becoming important as more firms establish in the country and hence the
need to be known. The organization aims to participate in trade shows and quality taste tests. Not
only will these increase awareness of the products, but if a particular product were to gain
recognition, for example through being chosen #1 at a taste test, the organization will be able to
take advantage of this in all its promotional campaigns, adding leverage to its reputation and
image. Undoubtedly this would add confidence and pride in our staff complement as their hard
work would be recognized often at the highest levels. Communicating such achievements often
gives customers a feeling that they can rely on the product, and this builds strong customer
loyalty.
Public Relations
Recognizing that we are relatively new on the market there will be a need to organize an event,
of grandeur nature, introducing ourselves onto the market. At this we intend to invite potential
customers, senior officials, including the Minister of Industry and Commerce, and other
stakeholders so as to penetrate the market. With this we also intend to place news stories and
features in magazines and newspapers to keep stakeholders updated on the latest developments
and to increase awareness. We also plan to have a major festival like Navratri, Diwali etc with
appropriately named, that maintains and promotes Gujarati culture. This will assist in the
recognition and appreciation of our company in the surrounding community especially. Our
efforts on community service will show that the company has its community at heart,
contributing towards the establishment of a good and reputable image. Homes for the under
privileged will be also be built in the medium, to long term as we plough back into the society
we operate in. In addition we intend to pursue educational sponsorship for the less advantaged
but promising young individuals in the community. This will constitute some of our corporate
social responsibility details of which are provided in the respective section.
We also intend to experiment with a road show in the various neglected remote areas giving out
caps, bags, and other such prizes to individuals who answer questions correctly. This will also
enable our business name and products to be better known by the respective communities.
However we are extremely confident that these road shows if well planned will be a success as
they encourage community participation. Ready to drink tea tours shall also be arranged with
interested stakeholders including school children and college students. This is so as to increase
awareness of our facilities and products and also showing confidence in our production process
and standards. Hopefully visitors will leave impressed and confident in our products, adding to
the possibility of positive referrals. These same tours will also be arranged with prospective
clients/order-takers.
19
Still in the infancy idea stage we have in mind the hosting of a 'fest' whereby guzzlers of our tea
as well as first-timers are encouraged to drink as much as possible whilst enjoying themselves.
This is likely to be held in the coldest month of the year (December) when people are often
extremely thirsty to drink tea. Hence the name 'December fest' might be appropriate. Proceeds of
such festivities are to be donated to charities.
Personal Selling
This shall be undertaken in the form of sales calls whereby a sales person will go out to potential
customers and distributors informing them what products we are able to offer them. In addition
the sales person will listen to client's needs at close hand, so as to ensure that the product is
delivered timely and that it is the right product as demanded by the surrounding community.
Close analysis shall also be undertaken of the consumption patterns of the respective
communities, that is whether they prefer larger or smaller containers. This will ensure that our
products are customized as much as possible to the surrounding community's needs and wants. In
cases where there is the opportunity of obtaining a large order it may be necessary for the top
management to go out personally, especially considering the fact that we are still a relatively new
firm in the market.
Direct Marketing
This will be used, but only to a limited extent, in the form of telemarketing and informing
potential customers (event organizers) and obtaining referrals where possible. In the case of
telemarketing it will involve our targeting potential customers/distributors of our products and
informing them of our existence and the products we offer. We may then arrange for an
appointment with the respective decision-maker/order-maker, with the intention being to lure
them into ordering one or more of our product .
.Distribution Strategy
We believe that through our obsession for improvement, and commitment to a leadership
position in our respective markets, we can overcome the traditionally binding constraints of
resource base, firm size and narrow conceptualization of our business domain. This shall be
undertaken through coordination and logical integration of our distribution operations. We aim to
reduce cycle time for key processes, eliminate rework and waste, and optimize our human
resources utilization. To attain low lead-times we intend to We intend to ensure that our tea are
located close to our major distribution centers not only to minimize costs but also to enable our
products to be easily available, in the best condition, in the different markets . so we have design
a distribution channel in wedges shape
20
In terms of actual delivery for every vehicle the daily fuel used, kilometers driven, repairs and
maintenance costs must be recorded and compared with the set standard.
Sales Strategy
We intend to focus on improving our implementation, by working on key objectives and better
coordination of marketing efforts. For the short term at least, the selling process will depend on
personal selling and advertising to lure and inform potential clients about the products we offer
and the benefits of consuming our products. Our marketing does not intend to affect the
perception of need as much as knowledge and awareness of the product categories.
Sales Forecast
The sales forecast monthly summary is included below. The annual sales projections are
included later in the plan. It should be noted that as we become established and known on the
market we project sales to increase at a faster rate than the initial year.

Companies need to design different kinds of motivational programmes like bonus contests
and enhanced commissions for the sales staff. These programmes are used to motivate the
sales people to arrive at a higher goal and achieve the targets desired by the company. The
motivational programmes are also undertaken to counter the offensive marketing moves by
the competitor, seasonal fluctuations in demand, and to push a mature product in the
industry, so that new products can be introduced. Motivational programmes are also
undertaken to provide additional support to new products added to the current portfolio of the
firms. Coupons, conferences, contests, and bonuses are the most popular motivational tools

Future Development
Company main goal is “To be a premium global conglomerate in ready to drink products
with a clear focus on business” and it can be archive by:
Integrity
Commitment
Passion
Seamlessness
Speed
Milestones plan to met in coming year is to expand our business throughout India and Also start
42
exporting our product outside India. Our value proposition is offering our customers refreshness
and enjoyment at reasonable prices ensuring peace of both body and mind. Hence we intend to:
1. Market the benefit, not the product.
2. Ensure customer satisfaction.
3. Develop long relationships.
4. Market the company.
Through all this make company brand image as a refreshing and enhancing status of person. And
should have largest ready to drink product distribution channel throughout India company. We
can achive our goal by following things
1. We intend to watch our results very carefully. We may need to drop production of certain
products if we cannot get the margin up or material becomes difficult to obtain. We might
be able to avoid the straight competition with the major companies by focusing more on
the previously mentioned products.
2. Another possibility is the introduction of a new company(s) in our niche. Hence the need
to undertake aggressive marketing and networking.
3. An established tea brew manufacturer may begin targeting to our target market niche.
Hence the need for commitment in our work and striving of total quality in our
organization.
4. Though India overall is rather secure on the labor front in terms of strikes we intend to
have in place a mechanism that will ensure that were this to occur the negative effects
would be minimized. However further research and analysis into the above is still being
undertaken
• Few control we have cheack time to time because .The local tea brewing market has been
growing steadily over the last few years due to increases in people's disposable income
and opening of the economy. With this in mind we intend our marketing programs to
expand accordingly. The introduction of quality catalogues and sales literature will enable
A.D Breweries Pvt LTD to market to potential customers. We project sales to increase
accordingly, though slightly slower as we establish a reputation for ourselves. With time, a
presence on the Internet and participation in regional trade shows will be key milestones
to expanding sales and marketing potentials through the utilization of new channels and
identification of potential customers.
Throughout the year we intend to undertake regular evaluations of our marketing
programs so as to ensure that we are in-line with our intended objectives.
In summary we intend to undertake the following:
1. Tracking and follow-up: We intend to have the discipline, as an organization, to track
43
results of the business plan and make sure that we implement.
2. Market segment focus: We intend to have the discipline to maintain the market segment
focus.
Saying no: Though difficult initially, we intend to be able to say no to special deals that
take us away from the target focus and are unprofitable .
• All potential risk can be reduce by doing proper market research time to time so that a
proper action can be taken to avoid and plan a good strategy to sustain in market for
longer period with a good amount of profit.
