EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report constitutes description of the different industries visited as a part of curriculum
subject of Business Exposure and captures the learning experiences of all the industries visited by
me and our fellow classmates of S.Y BBM(IB) along with our faculty members. Primary objective
of the visit was to get exposed to the general nature of International Business. To enhance the
awareness students towards study and use of Trade and Industry directories, business websites and
published data and information relating to Indent House, International Business Transactions,
Foreign Exchange Department of the Bank, Foreign trade Brokers, Agents, Agri business etc.
Current ways of industrial production and to see the application of all the management
aspects in the industries in practical and on the floor operations to gain the perspective of overall
what exactly a industry looks like what is its structure hierarchy people employed demand and
supply promotions use of new technologies and etc.
This was done by gaining information about the industries, market conditions and actual visits.
Specific attention was provided about International Trade of the visiting industries, exports,
international selling price and rates to fathom out the information about those industries and their
product market. Extracted information was in turn utilized for drawing inferences and learning
product trading and company tactics for innovation. Sales promotion in form of demonstrations is
also a part of these industries.

3: After that it passes through a conveyer,the conveyer passes for baking process through a
series of oven.The temperature maintained is in between 180 c to 330c. The ASIAs largest
oven is used in this plant.
4: After the baking process, the biscuits are allowed to cool down. In the process, theyre
flipped over half way to ensure proper cooling from both sides. The quality of the biscuit is
neatly checked during the process by the support staffs continuously.
5: After baking it again passes through another 6 levels of conveyer belts for cooling. After
cooling of the fresh baked biscuits it is collected in a sorting machine and goes for wrapping
and packaging. They use eco friendly packaging material to avoid PVC in it. The last stage is
packing, where the biscuits are automatically sorted into queues and automatic packing
machines wrap the packing material around them.
6: The packets so obtained are packed manually by labourers and sent to a CFC packing unit
which seals the CFC The capacity of production line is around 1 tonne/day. There were two
production lines for Parle G alone. The factory also had similar setup for its other brands
Milano and Hide and Seek. However we were not having permission to visit those facilities.
Then the packets are collected through a channel and sent to go down for distribution.The
quality is not compromised any process so the product has to pass through several QC
processes.

We left the premises at 4p.m.It was an informative, interesting and a successful visit. As students
of BBM IB. We learned about production and execution. We express our thanks to the faculty
members who accompanied us and the officials who explained the various departments.
OBSERVATION
A major observation that came out was that the numbers of labourers involved in large scale
industries for actual processes were very less and a major share of employment was for ancillary
activities like housekeeping, packaging etc.

Parle Company practices mass marketing for Parle- G which appeals to masses. It is a

ABOUT PARLE
Parle Products was established as byconfectionery in the Vile Parle suburb of Mumbai, in
1929. It began manufacturing biscuits in 1939. In 1947, when India became independent, the
company launched an ad campaign, showcasing its Gluco brand of biscuits as an Indian
alternative to the British biscuits.
Parle-G biscuits were earlier called 'Parle Gluco' Biscuits until the 1980s. The "G" in the name
Parle-G originally stood for "Glucose", though a later brand slogan also stated "G means
Genius". They use sugar rather than glucose as the main sweet ingedient, although they do
contain some invertedsugar.
In 2015, Parle-G became India's first domestic FMCG brand to cross the 5,000 crore mark in
retail sales.

POPULARITY
Primarily eaten as a tea-time snack, Parle-G is one of the oldest brand names in India. For decades,
the product was instantly recognized by its iconic white and yellow waxpaperwrapper. The
wrapper features a young girl (an illustration by Everest creative MaganlalDaiya back in the
1960s).
Now, it is available in plastic wrapping. Design of packaging is the same as earlier. When the
company changed the packaging of Parle-G from wax paper to plastic, they made an ad of putting
Parle-G in fish tank.
As of January 2013, Parle-G's strong distribution network covered over 6 million retail stores in
India.TheBrandTrustReport ranked Parle-G as the 42nd most trusted brand of India in 2014.
The low price is another important factor in Parle-G's popularity. Outside India, it is sold for 99
cents for a 418 gram pack as of 2012. A more common 80 gram "snack pack" is sold for as low as
15 cents( 5 INR) at Indian grocers, and 40 cents at major retailers.
ECONOMIC TIMES
Parle-G, the glucose biscuit brand from the country's largest biscuit maker Parle Products, has
consolidated its position as the world's largest selling biscuit brand, says a new report by market
researcher Nielsen.
The study, for last year, says Parle-G has topped brands like Kraft's Oreo, Wal-Mart's private labels
and Mexico's Gamesa in voulme sales to lead the Rs 11,295-crore Indian biscuits category.
The Nielsen study adds India is the world's leading market for biscuits, ahead of the US, Mexico,
China, Argentina, France, Italy, Germany, Turkey and Spain. While India showed a volume market
share of 22%, the second slot was occupied by the US at 13%. The top three countries -- India, US
and Mexico -- contribute over 40% of the total biscuits 10 largest markets for biscuits in volumes
sales.
Going by the data for the year 2009-10, the volume sales of Parle-G is bigger than the fourth
largest biscuit consuming country China.
Industry analysts say the Rs 5,000-crore Parle's focus on the volumes segment and competitive
pricing backed by strong distribution, especially in rural markets has led the rise.

Of the overall 40 brands across biscuits, chips and confectionery that Parle Products makes, ParleG contributes 50% to the firm's topline, Parle Products group product manager Mayank Shah said.
"Though Parle-G is available across multiple packs spanning Re 1 to Rs 50, our top selling packs
are priced at Rs 4 and Rs 5," Shah said.
The brand is exported to SAARC countries, the US, Europe and parts of Africa.
With universal acceptance, affordable packs and wide distribution, the category has been attracting
players ranging from cola and snacks maker PepsiCo, to cooking oils firm Marico, to milk foods
drinks maker GlaxoSmithKline.
The category has been a traditional stronghold of Parle and Britannia, followed by ITC, Cremica
and Priyagold. UK's United Biscuits launched McVities digestives biscuits in the country last year,
while Kraft is widey speculated to be entering this space.
When you own the largest-selling biscuit brand in the world, what do you do next? That's a
question that may not quite keep the Chauhans of Parle Products awake at nights, but it sure
may have popped up a few times in the boardroom, if not at the dinner table. After all, when a
biscuit brand that's close to completing 75 years finds itself in a near-monopoly population at a
time when the demographics are skewed hopelessly towards the youth three fourths of the
population is under 35 you have to wonder: Will today's youth still be chomping on Parle-Gs a
couple of decades down the road?
`Perhaps with tomorrow in mind, Parle Products recently launched an advertising campaign the
first in a decade to hunt down 'Kalke Genius.' Created by Ogilvy India and shot by Chrome
Pictures, the campaign made waves online overnight or perhaps even before that. Law &
Kenneth which managed the social media campaign for the brand, used hashtag, #BeCurious, to
talk about the campaign and it was among the Top 5 trending topics on Twitter worldwide for a
couple of hours after launch.
If Parle has to make a noise in the market, it is also because of the presence of two formidable
rivals in the glucose segment Britannia and ITC. As of June 2012, Nielsen data indicates the
former had a share of 8.7% and ITC 8.3%. Parle still rules the roost with a 79.4% share, but with
both the competitors armed with deep pockets, the battle is going to rage on for some time to
come.
Along with competition, the glucose segment itself stands the risk of getting crowded out by a
basket of newer options, from oat and ragi cookies to digestive and milky biscuits. Agrees AJAY
CHAUHAN executive director, Parle Products: "Consumers today have acquired a taste for
10 | P a g e
'variety', which is seen by the success of multiple biscuit variants across price points. As consumer
preferences evolve, the market for biscuits as a whole will increase but the relative share of
different categories might change," he says.
Adds Nabunkar Gupta, founder, Nobby Brand Architects: "Glucose has a healthy imagery in
consumers' minds and today the health platform has gained more voice than ever. The new ad
campaign will immediately draw a larger number of customers into the space as well as refresh the
connect with the existing customers."

Mashing Tanks
Mashing Tank
Output
Sweet Barley
(Glucose + Fructose + Maltose)
Temperature of 77-80 degree Celsius is maintained inside the mashing tank and the continuous
stirring process is done, which takes 4 hours to produce the sweet barley water, and the by product
is the cattle feed.
Barley water thus produced is tested with iodine to find the proper concentration and the quality.
All the process of brewing in Mohan Rocky Breweries Ltd. Undertake In-process Quality Control,
such as Chemical Process - Iodine test, Physical Process - Turbidity test, Gravity Test etc.
Barley Water is then put into the Whirlpool tank and the temperature of 10-20 degree Celsius is
maintained. Tank is made up of copper, where HOPS LEAFS (Imported from Germany) are added
to add the bitterness and the aroma in the beer. The output of the whirlpool tank is called WORT.
Fermentation:
It is called as the heart of any brewing process, because it is the cardinal process in the
manufacturing of beer.
WORT produced in the earlier process is put into the tank and the Peach & yeast are added and the
Bottom Fermentation is done, and the Aerobic and Anaerobic reaction is carried out. It takes
duration of 8-10 days to produce C2H5OH(Ethanol) or Alcohol.This process is called bottom
fermentation because, the yeast after fermentation gets settled down and removed.
Again second fermentation process is carried out and the settled down yeast are taken away. The
temperature in this process is maintained at 0 degree Celsius for 22 days.
DELLA TOFFOLA is a machinery container where the concentrated material prepared in the
earlier process are put in and the yeast is removed, in addition to this, filtration and the polishing of
the beer is done, hence this make the beer more clear and shiny.
Carbonization:
Carbonization is the process by which CO2 is added to the beer produced from the above process.
Again the second carbonization process is carried our, where temperature is maintained at zero
degree and more Carbon Dioxide is added to the liquid manually.
Bottling:
All the empty bottles are brought in the bottling plant where the bottles are washed, sterilized and
made germ free and clean. These bottles are then used for filling up the beer.
13 | P a g e
Tunnel Pasteurization:
Beers once filled in bottles and capped, then it goes along Pasteurization process which increases
its shelf life from 24 hour to 6 months. In this process, the rain of warm water (60 degree Celsius)
are poured over the filled and capped bottles, hence increases the shelf life. This process is called
Tunnel Pasteurization.
Labeling and Packaging:
It is among the final process, in which the labels are sticked over the bottles and the final product
are packed in the group of 6 bottles per carton using the hydraulic machine.
INPROCESS QUALITY CONTROL
3 tests are performed by Mohan industry in manufacturing of beer:
Turbidity Test.
Gravity Test.
Iodine Test for Sugar

CONCLUSION
It was a nice experience because we have seen that how to apply theoretical knowledge in practical
life which is basically more important while studying BBM IB. We have discussed many concepts
with the guide related to operation management, Inventory Control, maintaining labors, security at
working place etc and from the discussion we come to know that how to apply theoretical
knowledge and also modifications in it according to situation.

Next, the large sheets of printed newsprint move on to another large piece of machinery called a
folder. There, the pages are cut individually and folded in order. This entire printing process can
move as fast as 60,000 copies per hour. Quality control technicians and supervisors take random
copies and scan them for printing malfunctions in color, order, and readability. Next, a conveyer
belt moves the papers into a mail room section of the plant, where they are stacked into quires, or
bundles of 24. The quires then move to another section where a machine wraps them in plastic.
The bundles are now ready to be loaded onto delivery trucks for distribution.

Visiting TATA MOTORS was one of our most memorable industry visits.
We left from our college at 9.30 am and reached there about 10. As soon as we reached there we
were made to sit in the visitors lounge which was spacious for over 100 people and were served on
our arrival. Our classes of BBM and BBA was then introduced to the visiting manager incharge of
TATA MOTORS where we were shown a short film on TATA GROUP and its lineage of
successors, company history, company values, R&D , developments and innovations , company
plans, customer relations , and evolution of the company was entirely covered in the movie .
Then we had interaction and question and answer session with the TATA MOTORS official and
were enlightened about all the amazing facts about this giant automobile industry.
Followed by Q & A session and informative session we left the admin visitors building and were
picked by TATA WINGER cabs without shield customized for site and actual industry visits. Our
driver were our guides who explained our groups the whole 12 km visiting zones sites to assembly
dies shop, paint shop, assembly lines of different models of cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, etc.
Our drivers were amazing as they had years of experience and explained to us every single shops
and assembly lines while driving our drive by visit. We also saw the testing tracks of TATA
MOTORS and soon to be launched models of Defence and TATA vehicles. The whole experience
was very enthralling and after our visit we were taken to the canteen of Tata Motors and we had
lunch there and as a part of Tata culture food is free at Tata Motors for its employees and even for
the visitors. So, after the lunch we went to admin departments visitors arena to meet the HR but
unfortunately HR was not available at the moment for the session so we stayed there for a while
clicked pictures , greeted the representative of TATA MOTORS and meanwhile our bus arrived as
scheduled and we left.
Personally for me it was a lifetime privilege visiting such a huge organization where its values,
consumer based approach for its customer and zero defect policy are the core of the company and
its foundational values reflect the same.
TATA Group is one of the fortune 500 companies of the world and ranks at 49th according to the

Acquisitions
36 | P a g e
Bajaj Auto bought a controlling stake in the Tempo Firodia company, renaming it "Bajaj Tempo".
Germany's Daimler-Benz, a long-time collaborator with Firodia because of their ownership of the
original Tempo works in Germany, owned 16% of Bajaj Tempo. Daimler sold their stake back to
the Firodia group in 2001, meaning that they once again held a controlling interest, with BAL
retaining 24% of the shares. It was agreed that Bajaj Tempo would gradually phase out the use of
the "Tempo" brand name, as it still belonged to Mercedes-Benz.[19] The name of the company
was changed to Force Motors in May 2005, dropping "Bajaj" as well as "Tempo",over the
objections of Bajaj Auto with whom the company shares a long history as well as a compound
wall..

of KTM Sportmotorcycles AG). The two companies have signed a cooperation deal, by which
