[i] History of The Company :-

The member of Virani family started the Journey of Balaji Group in a

very very tiny size in the year 1976. Born to a farming family in the

nondescript Dhundhoraj village in Jamnagar district, Virani brothers first

tried their hands in diamond and agriculture kits business in the mid –

1970’s with a very small capital of Rs. 20000/- which their father Popatbhai

gave them for investment. But the effort ended in disaster. Chandubhai

and his brother Bhikhubhai next took up jobs in Rajkot’s Astron Cinema

selling refreshments earning Rs. 100/- and Rs. 155/- per month

respectively. Later when the cinema owner Govindbhai handed over the

canteen to them on contract basis in the year 1976. Chandubhai

introduced Sandwitches with a little help from the women of his household

who supplied him with exotic homemade masala. The Sandwitches soon

went on to prove an instant hit in the Saurashtra region. That’s when Balaji

was born.

According to Chandubhai the huge demand existed at that time could

not be met out of the limited supply from Saurashtra and this motivated

the brothers to fill up the supply gap. Therefore, the semiautomatic plant

was established with production capacity of 400 Kg. per hour. Finally, a

fully automatic plant with production capacity of 1200 Kg. per hour, the

over first in Gujarat was established to after excellent food production to

food lovers of Gujarat. The tremendous entrepreneurship of these brothers

in an excellent illustration of dynamism in business.

Today the Balaji Snack foods business give MNC’s a bite for their

Lay, with almost 70% of the State’s wafers market in its pocket which

[vi] Product and Pricing Policy :-

[1] For Pricing Policy :-

“Decision concerning price to be followed for a period fame may be

called as price policies.”

Pricing decision has strategic importance in any enterprise. Good

pricing policy is always desired by all organization.

It is also an important element in marketing mix. Mostly we measure

the exchange value of any product in terms of money. The price is the

components between customers and release about what they are receiving

in this money oriented economy price for any product is the value of the

item. “Balaji Wafers Pvt. Ltd.”, gives full concentration to the fixation of

prices.

Between them stands a set of intermediates performing a varity of

function. These intermediates constitute a marketing channel-channels of

distribution can be viewed as set or interdependent organization improved

in the process of making product or service available for the ask of

9. Suggestion

As a student I would like to give a suggestion for better future of the

company. This company has all the best quality and ecquenics. But each

and every human being cannot do perfect work. He will be lagging behind

there is some eye catching loops. Then also I have some point in my mind

to suggest for their betterment. They are as follows :

1. Company should increase its sales promotion activities to attract new

customers and more satisfied to its old and loyal customers.

2. The company should invest in research and development

programme.

3. Company has opportunities to expand the business in this field and

other field also. Hence it should explore other line of products.

4. Give more responsibility to lower level management.

5. Must involve lower level management in decision making process

because due to that many innovative ideas may come.

6. The company must improve the marketing network.

7. Within India the company must also explore the southern state and

must penetrate the great potential of huge marketing network.

8. The company research to more diverfication to cater to the needs of

both rich and poor. This will ultimate and hence the overall

profitability.

9. To cater to the need of millions of Indian customer, the company

should not only a great the quality of every product but also it can

follow both skimming pricing strategy to with stand fears

competition. Since the present manmohan government is above to

invite foreign direct investment in “Retail Business” Balaji Wafers

Pvt. Ltd. must use this opportunity in “TOTO”.

10.They should make more advertising through television, newspaper

and holdings etc. for increasing their sales rather profit.
