HISTORY OF UNIT
Most of the have a modest beginning. The infancy of this
company began more than 20 years ago in 1982 with the efforts of Mr.
Bhikubhai, Mr. Chandubhai, Mr. kanubhai & the numbers of their family.
When Chandubhai & Bhikhubhai was working an contact
basis for supplying of wafers to canteen of Astron theatre at Rajkot city they
got readymade products from third party manufacturer & supply the same to
canteen of astron theatre. But as usual there was problem of short supply as
well as delay in supply of the product an time. As this kind of problem lead a
business to verify “something” had to be alone in these regards as the
ultimate
To all these problems they decide to manufacture wafers its own
& supply the same to canteen. And thus foundation of the Balaji was setup
without any brand name.
This development had lead Balaji wafers producers to “Balaji
Wafers Pvt Ltd in 1990. They introduced production & packaging machinery
in 1997 to deal with huge demand.
Recently they had set up a huge fully automatic plant with the
production capacity of 1200 Kg. per how far production as well as nitrogen

‘ Business standard paper dated 10th September 2003
addressed Chandubhai virani as the ‘wafer sultan’ in the ‘meet your enter
rear’ column.
BALAJI AND VIRANI
Balaji and Virani -- the combination sounds familiar. The Virani
family of Balaji Telefilms’ soap Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi may be a
household name, but here’s an other Virani family from real, not reel, life that
has stormed Gujarati homes. With Balaji snack foods, what else? When four
Virani brothers from Rajkot (Saurashtra) – Meghjibhai, Chandubhai,
Bhikhubhai and Kanubhai – entered the snackfoods business two decades
ago, they never thought that one day they would give the MNCs a bite for
their money. But today, Balaji Wafers has emerged more than a munch for
Pepsi’s Frito – Lay, with almost 70% of the state’s wafers market in its pocket,
err, packet.
7
Their very own version of the Virani family drama, starting in
Saurashtra’s commercial club Rajkot in a dingy cinema hall canteen, has all
the masala of an entrepreneurial zing. But that’s where the similarity between
the TV show and family business drama seems to end. The Virani’s say they
never quite borrowed the Virani – Balaji combo from TV; if at all, it should
have been the other way round. Because their Balaji saga actually started
back in 1982, when Balaji Telefilms promoter Jeetendra was still known as
the Jumping Jack.
Born to a farming family in the nondescript Dhundhoraji village in
Jamnagar district, brothers Virani first dirtied their hands in the diamond and
agriculture kits business in the mid 1970s. But the effort ended in disaster.
“We tried trading in diamonds and agricultural kits. But lost the entire Rs. 20,
000 capital our father gave us”. Says Chandubhai, managing director of
Balaji Wafers Pvt. Ltd, and a class X passout.Chandubhai and his brother
Meghjibhai next took up jobs in Rajkot’s Astron Cinema selling refreshments.
“I earned Rest. 100 per month while my brother took home Rs. 155,” he
recalls.
Later, when the cinema owner Govindbhai handed over the canteen to
them on contract basis in 1976, Chandubhai introduced sandwiches, with a
little help from the dadies of his household who supplied him with exotic home
made masala. The sandwiches soon went on to prove an instant hit in the
Saurashtra region. Even, the Viranies continue selling their sandwiches,
though they rake in less than a fraction of their turnover.
Noticing early on that potato wafers constituted 80% of the refreshment
sale, the brothers decided to turn that into their core business. That’s when
Balaji was born. “We even managed to get a specialist cook, but he turned
out to be a shirker. So, often, I had to slice potatoes and fry them myself,”
Says Chandubhai, strongly advocating a do-it-yourself attitude towards
business.
8
“The demand for wafers was tremendous and the supply limited, given
the distribution constraints in those days. Companies located in Mumbai
could not meet the local demand, so we decided to pitch in and make good of
the supply gap,” says Chandubhai, turning nostalgic at thought of how, 23
years ago, he had purchased 60 kg potatoes to make 15 kg of wafers.
Today, with gradual automation that began in 1993 Balaji has the
capacity to produce 1200 kg wafers per hour. The viranies even took a Rs.
15 Crore loan from corporation bank to mechanize production. The
technology was sourced from the U.S. and U.K and Germany to help
improve quality.
It market estimates are to be believed, Viranies have build Rs. 150
Crore business out of potato wafers. Of course the brothers themselves
refused to reveal the size of their profit and sales. However market
estimates, says that it could be around 125 Crore.
All that they say, instead, is that in the first ten years, 1982 to 1992
while the business grew the revenues were small. So even as the family
sifted to a 750 sq. yard house in the city, family members continued to do
most of the processing including procuring potatoes, cleaning them, frying
them and even packaging them. From going about distributing the product on
a moped, they bought a rickshaw two years latter. A tempo was subsequently
added with a Rs. 1.8 lakh loan form a bank.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
INTRODUTION
For every activity done there is gone objective behind it.
There may be various objectives behind doing marketing research. The
objectives may be to get the answer of the questions like who buys
such products. How often do they buy it? Etc. After deciding the
objective, the next step is the research purpose i.e. the method that will
be used for the research purpose.
The different methods for conducting marketing research are
as follows:-
1. Opinion pool methods
2. Survey methods:
a. Personal survey (Questionnaire)
b. Mail survey
c. Telephone survey
3. Expert opinion method
In my report I have used personal survey method. The
questionnaire was prepared keeping in view certain objectives.
25
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
“Marketing research is the systematic design, collection,
analysis and reporting of data and findings relevant to a specific
marketing situation facing the company”. –Philip Kotler
This first step calls for the marketing research to find the
problem carefully and agree on research objective “a problem well
defined is hale solved.”
Advertising plays important role to increase sale. But today
no one is going to sale or purchase good if they are not getting extra
benefit. Today is an era of getting extra. The research is the only way
which is helpful in finding out all the problems. The main objective of
my research work is to find out consumer satisfaction for Balaji
Wafers with respect to its product features.
DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH PLAN
The second stage of marketing research calls for developing
the most efficient plan for gathering the need information. Designing a
research plan calls for decisions on the followings.
1) DATA SOURCES: The researcher can gather primary
data as well as secondary data. Primary data are gathered for a
specific purpose and for a specific research project. The primary
source of my project work is the sample of consumers of the
Rajkot district.
26
2) RESEARCH APPROACHES: Primary data can be
collected in five ways: observation, focus group, survey, behavioral
data, and experiments. Out of these five we have gone for surveys.
Survey researches are best suited of descriptive research to learn
about people’s knowledge, beliefs, preference, and satisfaction and
to measure these magnitudes in the general population.
3) RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS: Marketing research has a
choice of two main researches instrumental in collecting primary
data: questionnaires and mechanical devices. For a better option
I had gone for questionnaires. A questionnaire consists of a set
of questions presented to respondents for their answers. Because
of its flexibility, the questionnaire is by far the most common
instrument used to collect primary data.
4) SAMPLING PLAN: After deciding on the research
approach and instruments, it is necessary to design a sampling
plan. This plan calls for three decisions:
(a) Sampling unit:
Who is to be surveyed? It should be defined in a research the target
population that will be sampled. Once the sampling unit is determined, a
sampling frame must be developed so that everyone in the target
population has an equal chance of being sampled. To fulfill this purpose, I
had taken consumers as a sample
27
(b) Sample size:
How many people should be surveyed? Large samples give more
reliable results than small samples. However, it is not necessary to
sample the entire target population or even a substantial portion to achieve
reliable results. Samples of less than 1% of the population can often
provide good reliability, given a credible sampling procedure. So, I had
decided to take the sample size as 100 from consumers of Rajkot
district.
(c) Sampling procedure:
How should the respondents to be chosen? To obtain a
representative sample I, had selected consumers of Rajkot district who
prefers Balaji Wafers.
CONTACT METHODS
Once the sampling plan has been determined, it must be
decided how the subject should be contacted: mail, telephone,
personal, or on-line interviews. So, for my research I had selected
personal interview (Questionnaire). As personal interviewing is the
most versatile method, the interviewer can ask more questions and
record additional observations about the respondent. Personal
interviewing is the most expensive method and requires more
administrative planning and supervision than three, which is the big
loop hole of it.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Each and every study has several limitations so in my study has also
some limitation.
1. I did sampling by the Probability Area Sampling so
some of the remote area of the Rajkot is not covered
2. The findings are based on the research in Rajkot City
only and thus the conclusions may not be true for other cities.
3. Times and costs were always a constraint.
4. The study can not give the accurate results because the
sample size is very small.
