1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
Soap has been manufactured from alkali (lye) and animal fats (tallow), although vegetable products such as palm oil and coconut oil can be substituted for tallow. American colonists had both major ingredients of soap in abundance, and so soap making began in America during the earliest colonial days. Tallow came as a by-product of slaughtering animals for meat, or from whaling. Farmers produced alkali as a by-product of clearing their land; until the nineteenth century wood ashes served as the major source of lye. The soap manufacturing process was simple, and most farmers could thus make their own soap at home. The major uses of soap were in the household, for washing clothes and for toilet soap, and in textile manufacturing, particularly for furling, cleansing, and scouring woolen stuffs. Because colonial America was rural, soap making remained widely dispersed, and no large producers emerged. By the eve of the American Revolution, however, the colonies had developed a minor export market; in 1770 they sent more than 86,000 pounds of soap worth 2,165 to the West Indies. The city boasted at least seventeen soap factories, including Procter and Gamble (established 1837), which was destined to become the nations dominant firm. A major change in soap making occurred in the 1840s when manufacturers began to replace lye made from wood ashes with soda ash, lye made through a chemical process. Almost all soap makers also produced tallow candles, which for many was their major business. The period between the end of Civil War and 1900 brought major changes to the soap industry. In 1893 Procter and Gamble spent $125,000 to promote Ivory soap, and by 1905 the sales budget for that product alone exceeded $400,000. Advertising proved

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) amazingly effective. Advertising put large soap makers at a competitive advantage, and by the late 1920s three firms had come to dominate the Industry: (1) Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, incorporated as such in 1928 in New York State, although originally founded by William Colgate in 1807; (2) Lever Brothers, an English company that developed a full line of heavily advertised soap in the nineteenth century and in 1897 and 1899 purchased factories in Boston and Philadelphia; (3) Procter and Gamble. Detergents are superior to soap in certain industrial processes, such as making textile finishes. They work better in hard water, and they eliminate the

soap curd responsible for bathtub rings. In 1933 Procter and Gamble introduced a pioneer detergent, Dreft, which targeted the dishwashing market because it was too light for laundering clothes. It succeeded, especially in hard-water regions, until World War II interrupted detergent marketing. In 1940 the big three- Colgate, Lever, Procter and Gamble- controlled about 75 percent of the soap and detergent market. In 1946 Procter and Gamble radically shifted the balance in its favor when it introduced Tide, the first heavy duty laundry detergent. By 1949, Tide had captured 25 percent of the laundry detergent .By 2956, even though Lever and Colgate had developed detergents of their own, Procter and Gamble held 57 percent of the market, as compared with 17 percent for Lever and 11 percent for Colgate. Despite Procter and Gambles triumph, the big three still competed fiercely. By 1972, detergents had almost eliminated soap from the laundry market, although toilet soap remained unchallenged by detergents. In the 1970s, bans on detergents by some local Governments, which feared contamination of

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) their water supplies, had little impact on the composition of sales of laundry products. In the early 2000s, the smaller firms within the industry still produced a multitude of specialized cleansers for home and industry, although in the highly important fields of toilet soaps, laundry soaps, and detergents, the big three remained dominant, controlling about 80 percent of the total market. The History of Soap Soap-like material found in clay cylinders during the excavation of ancient Babylon is evidence that soap making was known as early as 2800 B.C. Soap manufacturing was started in North America. Some American companies with well known names were started 200 years ago. During middle age soap was made at various places in Italy, France, England & other countries. France became Famous & many small factories were established there. In India the soap Industry was established by North West Soap Company in 1897 at Meerut following the Swadeshi movement. From 1905 onwards few more factories were setup. They are, Mysore Soap factory at Bangalore. Godrej soap at Bombay Bengal chemicals Tata oil mills 1930 Lever Brothers Company

THE INDIAN SOAP INDUSTRY SCENERIO


The Indian soap industry has long been dominated by hand full of companies such as: 1. Hindustan Levers limited 2. Tata oil mills (taken over by HLL) 3. Godrej soaps private limited The Indian soap industry continued to flourish very well until 1967-68, but began to stagnate & soon it started to recover & experienced a short upswing in 1974. This increase in demand can be attributed due to; Growth of population Income & Consumption increase. Increase in Urbanization. Growth in degree of personal hygiene. Soap manufacture has 2 classification, organized and unorganized sector. KSDL comes under organized sector.

PRESENT STATUS
Market scenario: India is the ideal market for cleaning products. The countrys per capita consumption of detergent powders & bars stands at 1.6kg & soaps at 543 Gm. Hindustan livers, which towers over the cleaning business, sells in all over the cleaning business but the tiniest of Indian settlements.

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) In India, soaps are available in five million retail stores, out of which, 3.75 million retail stores are in the rural areas. Therefore, availability of these products is not an issue. 70% of Indias population resides in the rural areas; hence around 50% of the soaps are sold in the rural market. The 7.4lakhs tons per annum soap market in India in crawling along at 4%. The hope lies in raising rupee worth, the potential for which is high because the Indian soap market is pseudo in nature & it is amazingly complex being segmented not only on the basis of price, benefits, but even a range of emotions within that outlining framework. Growth With increase in disposable incomes, growth in rural demand is expected to increase because consumers are moving up towards premium products. However, in the recent past there has not been much change in the volume of premium soaps in proportion to economy soaps, because increase in prices has led some consumers to look for cheaper substitutes. The major players in personal wash (soap) market are HLL, Nirma and P&G.

2. COMPANY PROFILE
Mysore sandal soap is a brand of soap manufactured by the Karnataka soaps and Detergents limited (KS&DL), a company owned by Government of Karnataka in India. This soap has been manufactured since 1916 when Nalvadi Krishna Raja Wodeyar, the king of Mysore set up the government soap factory in Bangalore. The main motivation for setting up the factory was the excessive sandalwood reserves that the Mysore kingdom had which could not be exported to Europe because of the First World War. In 1980, KS&DL was incorporated as a company by merging the government soap factory with sandal oil factories at Shivmoga and Mysore. Mysore sandal soap in the world made from 100% pure sandal wood oil. KS&DL owns a proprietary geographical indication (GI) tag on the Mysore sandal soap which gives it intellectual property rights to use the brand name, to ensure quality and also prevent piracy and unauthorized use by other manufacturers. In 2006 Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian cricketer was selected as the first brand ambassador of the Mysore sandal soap.

BACKGROUND AND INCEPTION OF THE COMPANY:India is a rich land of forest; ivory, silk, sandal; precious gems are magical charms of centuries. The most enchanting perfumes of the world got their exotic spell with a twist of sandal. The worlds richest sandalwood resource is from one isolated stretch of forest land in South India that is Karnataka. The origin of sandalwood and its oil in Karnataka, which is used in making of Mysore sandal soaps, is well known as Fragrant Ambassador of India & sandalwood oil is in fact known as Liquid Gold. By the inspiration of His Highness Maharaja of Mysore late Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar, the trading of sandalwood logs started exporting to Europe and New destinations. This situation gave rise to start of an industry, which produces value added products i.e., of Sandalwood oil. His Highness Maharaja of Mysore created this situation as an opportunity by sowing the seed of the government sandalwood oil factory, which is the present KS&DL. The project was shaped with the engineering skills and expertise of the top level. Late Sir M.Visvesvaraya, the great engineer who was the man behind the project. Todays famous Mysore sandal soaps credit goes to Sri Sosale Garalapuri Shastri who incorporated the process of soap making using Sandalwood oil. The Maharaja of Mysore & Diwan Sir.M.Visveswaraya established the Government soap factory during the year 1918. In November 1918 the Mysore sandal soap was put into the market after sincere effort and experiments were undertaken to evolve a soap perfume blend using sandalwood oil s the main base to manufacture toilet soap. The factory shifted its operation to Rajajinagar industrial area, Bangalore in July 1957, where the present plant is located. The plant occupies an area of 39 acres (covering Soaps, Detergents, and Fatty Acid

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) divisions), on the Bangalore-Pune, Highway, easily accessible by transport services and communication. Another sandal wood oil division was established during the year 1944 at Shimoga, which stopped its operation in the year 2000 for want of Natural Sandalwood. The first product was washing soap in addition to the toilet soap in the year 1918. The toilet soap of the company was made up of sandalwood oil. In 1950 Government decided to expand the factory in two stages. The first stage of expansion was done to increase the output to 700 tons per year and was completed in the year 1952 in the old premises. The next stage of expansion was implemented in 1954 to meet growing demand for Mysore sandal soap and for this purpose Government of India sanctioned license to manufacture 1500 tons of Soaps and 75 tons glycerin per year. The expansion project worth of Rs.21 lakhs includes the shifting of the factory to a newly laid industrial suburban of Bangalore. The factory started functioning in this new premise [i.e., present one] from I st July 1957. From this year onwards till date the factory had never looked back, it has achieved growth and development in production scales and profits. The industry has two more divisions, one at Shimoga and another at Mysore where sandal wood oil is extracted. The Mysore division started functioning from 1917 and only during 1984 manufacturing of perfumed and premiere quality Agarbathies at was started. Right from the first log of sandalwood that rolled in to the boiler room in 1916, the company has been single-minded pursuit of excellence. The project took shape with the engineering skills and expertise of top-level team under the leadership of Sir. M. Visvesvaraya, Prof. Watson and Dr. Sudbrough. Like this soap factory was started as a small unit and now it has

PEST ANALYSIS

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) A PEST analysis is an analysis of the external macro-environment that affects all firms. P.E.S.T. is an acronym for the Political, Economic, Social, and Technological factors of the external macro-environment. Such external factors usually are beyond the firm's control and sometimes present themselves as threats. For this reason, some say that "pest" is an appropriate term for these factors. However, changes in the external environment also create new opportunities and the letters sometimes are rearranged to construct the more optimistic term of STEP analysis. Many macro-environmental factors are country-specific and a PEST analysis will need to be performed for all countries of interest. The following are examples of some of the factors that might be considered in a PEST analysis. Political Analysis

Political stability Risk of military invasion Legal framework for contract enforcement Intellectual property protection Trade regulations & tariffs Favored trading partners Anti-trust laws Pricing regulations Taxation - tax rates and incentives Wage legislation - minimum wage and overtime Work week Mandatory employee benefits

LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) The learning experience gained by me during the in-plant training was very much practical oriented .Mostly all the concepts and theories, which I studied in the class, are applicable practically. The overall study of the organization reveals that the company has grown tremendously since its incorporation from 1918, now it has independent units for manufacturing sandalwood oils, toilets soaps, washing soaps, detergents, cosmetics, incense sticks and industrial products. The initially named government soap factory was renamed as Karnataka Soaps & Detergents Ltd in 1st October 1980. Its trademark is Sharabha the slogan stands as NATURAL PRODUCTS WITH EXOTIC FRAGRANCE. The company is a leading sandalwood soap manufacturer in the country. Even though they have demand for their products in both domestic as well as international market, they are not able to establish themselves as market leaders due to various reasons such as extensive work force, non- utilization of installed capacities of manufacturing, lack of proper distribution network, lack of expenditure in the areas of advertisements and publicity, competition of various soaps and detergents and lack of timely decisions. I had a great time working on the project, as it gives insights into the working environment of an organization. The training has exposed me to many facts of an organization and also helped me to gain practical knowledge, which will go a long way in the horizon of our career. The company has an effective human resource department where in the employees are given excellent packages, incentives and extensive care is taken by providing facilities such as canteen, medical facilities, motivation classes and extracurricular activities.

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) My overall learning experience is quite satisfactory, as I got an opportunity to relate theory to practical working environment. I become more aware of the soap industry and the role played by KS&DL.

FINDINGS
It is a company wholly owned by government, so it has to follow the rules made by the government.

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) Consumer awareness of its products is very less except for Mysore Sandal Soap. There is mismatch in production and sales activity. The company is under utilization its capacity. Its products are not available in district places of state other than Karnataka. Most of the training is conducted at executive level; the lower level staffs are neglected. Its production is based on old technology, which leads to more wastes in the production process. Recruitment in the company has been stopped since 1988 due to some circumstances and recruitments are taking place only in some department.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


Government has to liberalize its policy on the company can make it best. The company can utilize its capacity to the maximum by bring in more innovation.

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL) The company can spend both money and manpower on advertising. The company tries to sell its products not only in Karnataka but other state also. As much as possible company tries to utilize its products. Conflict should be removed in some of the department. KSDL has a wide variety of products but people are unaware of many products like Agarbathi, Detergents, Baby soaps etc,as its marketing is very week. Company shall also improve in building up the strong marketing strategy in order to improve the distribution channels and could be able to increase the sales other than the Mysore Sandal Soap. The government has to replace unskilled workers. Government has to invest on advertisement, so everyone can know about products. R&D shall work effectively and the break-through in new products and can make the company to earn more profits.

Karnataka Soaps And Detergents Limited (KS&DL)

CONCLUSION
It can be concluded that the various influencing factors responsible for the purchase of the Mysore Sandal Soaps are, family/friends, advertising and others. It can also be concluded that the consumers have chosen Mysore Sandal Soaps and keeping in the mind of goodness of sandal oil, brand name and also the companys image. Most of the consumers are satisfied with quality and also there is a delight to the customers to suggest their product to others. The study has also helped me to gain good amount of knowledge and has also exposed me to the industrial environment. In todays market, study has to be developed In order to grab market share and to become a market leader. A knowledge of the customer needs, present buying habit, their awareness and options. Performance towards various Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) most of the people have shifted to Mysore Sandal Soaps because of its quality and good feature of sandal oil. However the company is trading with existing customers with less intension for expansion. Consumer goods evolve over a period of time based on the consumer needs and request and the firm or organization which is able to understand this and evolve accordingly and will survive.
