ACK OWLEDGEME T
Learning through experience is the best way of learning and the two months spent at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. have been a tremendous learning experience in terms of practical application of the theoretical learning I have gained so far, through two completely different yet strongly interlinked projects each touching a different aspect of Human Resources. In a business environment like Coca-Cola where everyone has their own targets to meet and deadlines to adhere to, I received a lot of valuable time, able guidance, encouragement, feedback and inputs from people at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Tarun Varma (National Director HR Operations) and Ms. Seemali Shukla (Talent Acquisition Manager) for their constant support and valuable guidance through the duration of this internship and across all projects. I also wish to thank Prof. Ameeta Shiroor (Faculty Guide, SIBM) without whose help and support this internship could not have been completed successfully. My sincere gratitude also goes out to my fellow Summer Trainees at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. for making the internship a great memorable and learning experience.

HI DUSTA COCA-COLA BEVERAGES PRIVATE LIMITED (HCCBPL)

ABOUT THE COMPA Y


Coca-Cola was the leading soft drink brand in India until 1977, when it left rather than reveal its formula to the Government and reduce its equity stake as required under the Foreign Regulation Act (FERA) which governed the operations of foreign companies in India. Coca-Cola re-entered the Indian market on 26th October 1993 after a gap of 16 years, with its launch in Agra. An agreement with the Parle Group gave the Company instant ownership of the top soft drink brands of the nation. With access to 53 of Parles plants and a well set bottling network, an excellent base for rapid introduction of the Companys International brands was formed. The Coca-Cola Company acquired soft drink brands like Thumps Up, Goldspot, Limca, Maaza, which were floated by Parle, as these products had achieved a strong consumer base and formed a strong brand image in Indian market during the re-entry of Coca-Cola in 1993.Thus these products became a part of range of products of the Coca-Cola Company.

In the new liberalized and deregulated environment in 1993, Coca-Cola made its re-entry into India through its 100% owned subsidiary, HCCBPL, the Indian bottling arm of the Coca-Cola Company. However, this was based on numerous commitments and stipulations which the Company agreed to implement in due course. One such major commitment was that, the Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings would divest 49% of its shareholding in favour of resident shareholders by June 2002.

Coca-Cola is made up of 7000 local employees, 690 managers, over 60 manufacturing locations, 27/25 Company Owned Bottling Operations (COBO), 17/24 Franchisee Owned Bottling Operations (FOBO) and a network of 29/21 Contract Packers that facilitate the manufacture process of a range of products for the company. It also has a supporting distribution network consisting of 700,000 retail outlets and 8000 distributors. Almost all goods and services required to cater to the Indian market are made locally, with help of technology and skills within the Company. The complexity of the Indian market is reflected in the distribution fleet which

Summer Internship Report Akanksha Kanojia

Page 6

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. 2010 includes different modes of distribution, from 10-tonne trucks to open-bay three wheelers that can navigate through narrow alleyways of Indian cities and trademarked tricycles and pushcarts.

Think local, act local, is the mantra that Coca-Cola follows, with punch lines like Life ho to aisi for Urban India and Thanda Matlab Coca-Cola for Rural India. This resulted in a 37% growth rate in rural India visa-vie 29% growth seen in urban India. Between 2001 and 2003, the per capita consumption of cold drinks doubled due to the launch of the new packaging of 200 ml returnable glass bottles which were made available at a price of Rs.5 per bottle. This new market accounted for over 80% of Indias new Coca-Cola drinkers. At Coca-Cola, they have a long standing belief that everyone who touches their business should benefit, thereby inducing them to uphold these values, enabling the Company to achieve success, recognition and loyalty worldwide.

MA UFACTURI G PROCESS AT HCCBPL

FIGURE: MA UFACTURI G PROCESS

The manufacturing of the products of Coca-Cola involves the following steps:

Water is received from the River Cauvery and it passes through the water treatment plant, further passing through the sand filter and the activated carbon filter, so as to attain pure cleansed water.

Summer Internship Report Akanksha Kanojia

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. 2010

In the syrup room, the concentrate received from another bottling plant situated at Pune, is blended with the sugar syrup

Once both the water and the final syrup are ready, they are both mixed together and sent to the carbonator section where Carbon Dioxide is added to the mixture to form the final product.

On the other hand, simultaneously, the returnable glass bottles are depalletized, inspected and washed for the purpose of filling in the final product in it. This step does not take place in the PET bottle line as the bottles once used are disposed.

The product is finally filled in the bottles, crowned (in case of RGB)/ capped (in case of PET bottles), labeled and cased in order to be sent into the warehouse for distribution.

DISTRIBUTIO

ETWORK

HCCBPL has a wide and well managed network of salesmen appointed for taking up the responsibility of distribution of products to diverse parts of the cities. The distribution channels are constructed in such a way that the demand of customers is fulfilled at the right place and the right time when it is needed by them.

A typical distribution chain at HCCBPL would be: Production --- Plant Warehouse --- Depot Warehouse --- Distribution Warehouse --- Retail Stock --- Retail Shelf --- Consumer

The customers of the Company are divided into different categories and different routes, and every salesman is assigned to one particular route, which is to be followed by him on a daily basis. A detailed and well organized distribution system contributes to the efficiency of the salesmen. It also leads to low costs, higher sales and higher efficiency thereby leading to higher profits to the firm.

DISTRIBUTIO ROUTES
The various routes formulated by HCCBPL for distribution of products are as follows:

Key Accounts: The customers in this category collectively contribute a large chunk of the total sales of the Company. It basically consists of organizations that buy large quantities of a product in one single transaction. The Company provides goods to these customers on credit, payments being made by them after a certain period of time i.e. either a month of half a month.

Examples: Clubs, fine dine restaurants, hotels, Corporate houses etc.

Future Consumption: This route consists of outlets of Coca-Cola products, wherein a considerable amount of stock is kept in order to use for future consumption. The stock

Summer Internship Report Akanksha Kanojia

Page 11

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. 2010 does not exhaust within a day or two, instead as and when required stocks are stacked up by them so as to avoid shortage or non-availability of the product. Examples: Departmental stores, Super markets etc.

Immediate Consumption: The outlets in this route are those which require stocks on a daily basis. The stocks of products in these outlets are not stored for future use instead, are exhausted on the same day and might run a little into the next day i.e. the products are consumed at a fast pace.

Examples: Small sized bars and restaurants, educational institutions etc.

General: Under this route, all the outlets that come in a particular area or an area along with its neighboring areas are catered to. The consumption period is not taken into consideration in this particular route.

PRODUCTS

The Coca-Cola Company offers a wide range of products to the customers including beverages, fruit juices and bottled mineral water. The Company is always looking to innovate and come up with, either complete new products or new ways to bottle or pack the existing drinks. The Co CocaCola Company has a wide range of products out of which the following products are marketed by HCCBPL:

ETWORK: The Company has a strong and reliable distribution

network. The network is formed on the basis of the time of consumption and the amount of sales yielded by a particular customer in one transaction. It has a distribution network consisting of a number of efficient salesmen, 700,000 retail outlets and 8000 distributors. The distribution fleet includes different modes of distribution, from 10 10-tonne trucks to

Summer Internship Report Akanksha Kanojia

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. 2010 open-bay three wheelers that can navigate through narrow alleyways of Indian cities and trademarked tricycles and pushcarts.

STRO G BRA DS: The products produced and marketed by the Company have a strong brand image. People all around the world recognize the brands marketed by the Company. Strong brand names like Sprite, Fanta, Limca, Thums Up and Maaza add up to the brand name of the Coca-Cola Company as a whole. The red and white Coca-Cola is one of the very few things that are recognized by people all over the world. Coca-Cola has been named the amongst the world's top brand for a fourth consecutive year in a survey by consultancy Interbrand.

LOW COST OF OPERATIO S: The production, marketing and distribution systems are very efficient due to forward planning and maintenance of consistency of operations which minimizes wastage of both time and resources leads to lowering of costs.

WEAK ESSES

LOW EXPORT LEVELS: The brands produced by the company are brands produced worldwide thereby making the export levels very low. In India, there exists a major controversy concerning pesticides and other harmful chemicals in bottled products including Coca-Cola. In 2003, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a nongovernmental organization in New Delhi, said aerated waters produced by soft drinks manufacturers in India, including multinational giants PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, contained toxins including lindane, DDT, malathion and chlorpyrifos- pesticides that

can contribute to cancer and a breakdown of the immune system. Therefore, people abroad, are apprehensive about Coca-Cola products from India. SMALL SCALE SECTOR RESERVATIO S LIMIT ABILITY TO I VEST A D ACHIEVE ECO OMIES OF SCALE: The Companys operations are carried out on a small scale and due to Government restrictions and red-tapism, the Company finds it very difficult to invest in technological advancements and achieve economies of scale.

Summer Internship Report Akanksha Kanojia

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. 2010

OPPORTU ITIES

LARGE DOMESTIC MARKETS: The domestic market for the products of the Company is very high as compared to any other soft drink manufacturer. Coca-Cola India claims a 58 per cent share of the soft drinks market; this includes a 42 per cent share of the cola market. Other products account for 16 per cent market share, chiefly led by Limca. The company appointed 50,000 new outlets in the first two months of this year, as part of its plans to cover one lakh outlets for the coming summer season and this also covered 3,500 new villages. In Bangalore, Coca-Cola amounts for 74% of the beverage market.

EXPORT POTE TIAL: The Company can come up with new products which are not manufactured abroad, like Maaza etc and export them to foreign nations. It can come up with strategies to eliminate apprehension from the minds of the people towards the Coke products produced in India so that there will be a considerable amount of exports and it is yet another opportunity to broaden future prospects and cater to the global markets rather than just domestic market.

HIGHER I COME AMO G PEOPLE: Development of India as a whole has lead to an increase in the per capita income thereby causing an increase in disposable income. Unlike olden times, people now have the power of buying goods of their choice without having to worry much about the flow of their income. The beverage industry can take advantage of such a situation and enhance their sales.

THREATS

IMPORTS: As India is developing at a fast pace, the per capita income has increased over the years and a majority of the people are educated, the export levels have gone high. People understand trade to a large extent and the demand for foreign goods has increased over the years. If consumers shift onto imported beverages rather than have beverages manufactured within the country, it could pose a threat to the Indian beverage industry as a whole in turn affecting the sales of the Company.

Summer Internship Report Akanksha Kanojia

Page 15

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. 2010

TAX A D REGULATORY SECTOR: The tax system in India is accompanied by a variety of regulations at each stage on the consequence from production to consumption. When a license is issued, the production capacity is mentioned on the license and every time the production capacity needs to be increased, the license poses a problem. Renewing or updating a license every now and then is difficult. Therefore, this can limit the growth of the Company and pose problems.

SLOWDOW

RURAL DEMA D: The rural market may be alluring but it is not

without its problems: Low per capita disposable incomes that is half the urban disposable income; large number of daily wage earners, acute dependence on the vagaries of the monsoon; seasonal consumption linked to harvests and festivals and special occasions; poor roads; power problems; and inaccessibility to conventional advertising media. All these problems might lead to a slowdown in the demand for the companys products.

COMPETITIVE POSITIO I G

Coca-Cola India Pvt. Ltd. was the number one player in soft drinks in India in 2008, with a 31% share of off-trade volume sales. The company derives its number one position in soft drinks from its wide product portfolio, spreading across carbonates, fruit/vegetable juice and bottled water. The company was the leading player in carbonates and the second ranked player in both fruit/vegetable juice and bottled water in 2008. The companys share in soft drinks declined over the review period, partly because its product portfolio is strongly skewed towards carbonates. Over 65% of the companys soft drinks off-trade value sales are attributable to carbonates, and carbonates has seen lower growth rates than other large sectors, such as fruit/vegetable juice and bottled water, which are led by domestic companies. In order to diversify away from carbonates, which is a mature sector, Coca-Cola has expanded its product portfolio to include Minute Maid Pulpy Orange, which has the potential to capitalize on the growing health consciousness among Indian consumers

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. 2010 during the forecast period. The company is also expected to expand the distribution of Kinley and launch products in the emerging sectors of flavored water and energy drinks. The company has a vast product portfolio, which includes several leading brands and spans cola and non-cola carbonates, juice drinks and bottled water. The company is positioned in the standard price segment. The company is a leader in innovation, and has experimented with local flavors, such as Masala Limca, and new packaging concepts, such as the Xpress PET bottle and Fridge Pack.

Most constraints pertaining to the project were regarding the communication and implementation phase of the recommended framework. The logistical constraint of conducting the program due to non availability of senior managers was also an issue. Huge number of hires being inducted on different days can also disturb the cycle if the process is not followed uniformly across units and regions.

WAY FORWARD
KRAs New Joinee should have his/ her Key Result Areas setup one week after joining the organization, these would be initial KRAs that would be changed as the employee gets older into the system but would give an employee direction. IDP A brief outline of the individuals development plan needs to be shared with the employee once the joinee is atleast 4 months into the system. This will help the employee think in direction of individual career development. Learning Resources Learning module on various departments should be given to the new joinees along with tests on the same. This would help in acclimatising the new joinees with the overall business.

CA DIDATE RECRUITME T FILE


Concept of a candidate recruitment file was suggested where all candidates who go through various levels will have a separate file that would have the multiple stages a candidate goes through. These would have been conducted at initial levels by junior functional managers and in a detailed way with all tests by the HR managers. It would be done according to the Interview Position Grid.

CO STRAI TS
Most constraints pertaining to the project were regarding the communication and implementation phase of the recommended framework. Not many managers are BEI, CBI trained. Huge number of hiring results in non compliance of procedures at times. Logistical constraints due to units and regions involved can prolong the selection process.

WAY FORWARD

More basic systems like defining competencies for staff level recruitment need to be put in place. More detailed interview process where defined and detailed data points need to be collected at each stage of the interview process to take better decisions.
