PREFACE
Theoretical knowledge without the practical exposure is of life value. Theoretical studies in classroom are not sufficient to understand the functioning and nature of research. Thserefore it becomes necessary to undergo any research project work. Practical project supplements the theoretical studies i.e. it covers what is left uncovered in the classroom. It exposes a student to invaluable pleasure of experiences. I complete my research project on the topic MARKET SHARE OF PEPSI IN THE TOWNSHIP OF KATHUA . During the research project, I got an opportunity to learn valuable things, which I could not have been able to learn from theory classes. In order to use theoretical knowledge,I got the opportunity of doing Industrial training from JAI BEVERAGESJAMMU.Which holds the sole rights for the production of popular beverage brand PEPSICO in the state of J&K. In nutshell, whole my project was invaluable experience in the pursuit of knowledge. In the forthcoming pages attempt has been made to present a comprehensive report concerning different aspects of my research. The overall gain to me will be reflected in the report itself.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project was undertaken to study the market share of Pepsi in JAMMU area. The population consists of all those retailers in the defined area who stock and sell relevant brands of cold drinks Coca Cola and Pepsi. With a view to find the market share of Pepsi in JAMMU area and to determine the most dominating flavour of cold drinks in Jammu area, we interviewed the retailers. The research study shows that the share of Pepsi is 43 percent as compared to that of Coke The study revealed that Pepsi is able to sustain the tough competition from Coke. In order to sustain in such a competitive market it is imperative for PEPSI to invest substantially in advertisements, sales promotion and packaging.

Introduction

Pepsi is one of the world's most famous brands much like its rival Coca Cola. Pepsi Cola was originally called Brad's Drink after its creator, Caleb Bradham, a pharmacist from North Carolina. Pepsi was a carbonated soft drink he created to serve his drugstore's customers. The new name, Pepsi-Cola, was first used on August 28. The Pepsi logo is a simple globe with the Pepsi colors in the background and the word Pepsi in the foreground. Pepsi has changed its logo and its slogans a number of times since its introduction in 1898. The Pepsi slogans through the years are listed below

1909-1939: Delicious and Healthful 1939-1950: Twice As Much For A Nickel Too 1950-1963: The Light Refreshment 1953-1961: Be Sociable 1961-1963: Now It's Pepsi For Those Who Think Young 1963-1967: Come Alive!

Company History
PepsiCo, Inc. is one of the world's top consumer product companies with many of the world's most important and valuable trademarks. Its Pepsi-Cola Company division is the second largest soft drink business in the world, with a 21 percent share of the carbonated soft drink market worldwide and 29 percent in the United States. Three of its brands--Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, and Diet Pepsi&mdashe among the top ten soft drinks in the U.S. market. The Frito-Lay Company division is by far the world leader in salty snacks, holding a 40 percent market share and an even more staggering 56 percent share of the U.S. market. In the United States, Frito-Lay is nine times the size of its nearest competitor and sells nine of the top ten snack chip brands in the supermarket channel, including Lay's, Doritos, Tostitos, Ruffles, Fritos, and Chee-tos. Frito-Lay generates more than 60 percent of PepsiCo's net sales and more than two-thirds of the parent company's operating profits. The company's third division, Tropicana Products, Inc., is the world leader in juice sales and holds a dominant 41 percent of the U.S. chilled orange juice market. On a worldwide basis, PepsiCo's product portfolio includes 16 brands that generate more than $500 million in sales each year, ten of which generate more than $1 billion annually. Overall, PepsiCo garners about 35 percent of its retail sales outside the United States, with Pepsi-Cola brands marketed in about 160 countries, Frito-Lay in more than 40, and Tropicana in approximately 50. As 2001 began, PepsiCo was on the verge of adding to its food and drink empire the brands of the Quaker Oats Company, which include Gatorade sports drink, Quaker oatmeal, and Cap'n Crunch, Life, and other ready-to-eat cereals. When Caleb D. Bradham concocted a new cola drink in the 1890s, his friends' enthusiastic response convinced him that he had created a commercially viable product. For 20 years, 'Doc' Bradham prospered from his Pepsi-Cola sales. Eventually, he was faced with a dilemma; the crucial decision he made turned out to be the wrong one and he was forced to sell. But his successors fared no better and it was not until the end of the 1930s that PepsiCola again became profitable. Seventy years later, PepsiCo, Inc. was a mammoth multinational supplier of soft drinks, juices, and snack food. PepsiCo's advance to that level

was almost entirely the result of its management style and the phenomenal success of its television advertising.

Marketing

A large advertisement made to resemble a Pepsi cup at the theme park, Nickelodeon Universe inside the Mall of America. The first of many new designs of Pepsi cans which were released in 2007.In 1975, Pepsi introduced the Pepsi Challenge marketing campaign where PepsiCo set up a blind tasting between Pepsi-Cola and rival Coca-Cola. During these blind taste tests the majority of participants picked Pepsi as the better tasting of the two soft drinks. PepsiCo took great advantage of the campaign with television commercials reporting the test results to the public..In 1996, PepsiCo launched the highly successful Pepsi Stuff marketing strategy. By 2002, the strategy was cited by Promo Magazine as one of 16 "Ageless Wonders" that "helped redefine promotion marketing."

In 2007, PepsiCo redesigned their cans for the fourteenth time, and for the first time, included more than thirty different backgrounds on each can, introducing a new background every three weeks.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF PEPSICO

STRENGTHS: Pepsi has a broader product line and outstanding reputation. Merger of Quaker Oats produced synergy across the board. Record revenues and increasing market share. Lack of capital constraints (availability of large free cash flow). o Great brands, strong distribution, innovative capabilities o Number one maker of snacks, such as corn chips and potato chips PepsiCo sells three products through the same distribution channel. For example, combining the production capabilities of Pepsi, Gatorade and Tropicana is a big opportunity to reduce costs, improve efficiency and smooth out the impact of seasonal fluctuations in demand for particular product. WEAKNESSES:

 Pepsi hard to inspire vision and direction for large global company. Not all PepsiCo products bear the company name PepsiCo is far away from leader Coca-cola in the international market - demand is highly elastic. OPPORTUNITY: Food division should expand internationally Noncarbonated drinks are the fastest-growing part of the industry There are increasing trend toward healthy foods Focus on most important customer trend - "Convenience". THREATS: F&B industry is mature Pepsi is blamed for pesticide residues in their products in one of their most promising emerging market. e.g. in India Over 50 percent of the company's sales come from Frito-L ay; this is a threat if the market takes a downturn PepsiCo now competes with Cadbury Schweppes, Coca-Cola, and Kraft foods (because of broader product line) which are well-run and financially sound competitors. Size of company will demand a varied marketing program; Social, cultural, economic, political and governmental constrains. STRATEGIES:

The purpose of the strategy is to increase the EPS by 15% per annum and increase PepsiCo's stock price. There are two ways to increase the EPS, first is to increase the income and second to decrease the amount of stocks outstanding.

PepsiCo in India
PepsiCo gained entry to India in 1988 by creating a joint venture with the Punjab government-owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation (PAIC) and Voltas India Limited. This joint venture marketed and sold Lehar Pepsi until 1991, when the use of foreign brands was allowed; PepsiCo bought out its partners and ended the joint venture in 1994. Others claim that firstly Pepsi was banned from import in India, in 1970, for having refused to release the list of its ingredients and in 1993, the ban was lifted, with Pepsi arriving on the market shortly afterwards.

These controversies are a reminder of "India's sometimes acrimonious relationship with huge multinational companies." Indeed, some argue that PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company have "been major targets in part because they are well-known foreign companies that draw plenty of attention." In 2003, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a non-governmental organization in New Delhi, said aerated waters produced by soft drinks manufacturers in India, including multinational giants PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company, contained toxins, including lindane, DDT, malathion and chlorpyrifos pesticides that can contribute to cancer, a breakdown of the immune system and cause birth defects. Tested products included Coke, Pepsi, 7 Up, Mirinda, Fanta, Thums Up, Limca, and Sprite. CSE found that the Indian-produced Pepsi's soft drink products had 36 times the level of pesticide residues permitted under European Union regulations; Coca Cola's 30 times.CSE said it had tested the same products in the US and found no such residues. However, this was the European standard for water, not for other drinks. No law bans the presence of pesticides in drinks in India. The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo angrily denied allegations that their products manufactured in India contained toxin levels far above the norms permitted in the developed world. But an Indian parliamentary committee, in 2004, backed up CSE's findings and a government-appointed committee, is now trying to develop the world's first pesticides standards for soft drinks. Coke and PepsiCo opposed the move, arguing that lab tests aren't reliable enough to detect minute traces of pesticides in complex drinks. As of 2005, The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo together hold 95% market share of softdrink sales in India. PepsiCo has also been accused by the Puthussery panchayat in the Palakkad district in Kerala, India, of practicing "water piracy" due to its role in exploitation of ground water resources resulting in scarcity of drinking water for the panchayat's residents, who have been pressuring the government to close down the PepsiCo unit in the village. In 2006, the CSE again found that soda drinks, including both Pepsi and Coca-Cola, had high levels of pesticides in their drinks. Both PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company maintain that their drinks are safe for consumption and have published newspaper advertisements that say pesticide levels in their products are less than those in other foods such as tea, fruit and dairy products. In the Indian state of Kerala, sale and production of Pepsi-Cola, along with other soft drinks, was banned by the state government in 2006, but this was reversed by the Kerala High Court merely a month later.Five other Indian states have announced partial bans on the drinks in schools, colleges and hospitals.

Indra Nooyi Appointed As Pepsico CEO

Indra K Nooyi is all set to lead American cola giant PepsiCo with the board of the food and beverage multinational on Monday electing the 50-year-old corporate wizard as the CEO to succeed Steve Reinemund from October 1, 2006. Putting a stamp of approval on her 12-year stint with the corporation, the Pepsico Board said in a statement: "We are exceedingly fortunate to have a leader of Indra's calibre, vision and experience to take the helm. She has been instrumental to PepsiCo's solid direction and ongoing success and has the complete endorsement and support of the board." Known to often attend PepsiCo events wearing a sari, Nooyi joined the $33-billion F&B giant in 1994 and has served as president and CFO since 2001, when she was also named to PepsiCo's board of directors. As the fifth CEO in PepsiCo's 41-year history, she brings vast and unique skills to the job. Reinemund, who will continue in the corporation as executive chairman and member of the Board till his retirement till May 2007, said, "Indra's record of transforming PepsiCo speaks for itself, and she has been an invaluable partner and ally throughout my time as CEO".On his part, Reinemund, who has been with PepsiCo for 22 years, described it as "the toughest and easiest decision of my life.""After 22 years with PepsiCo, more than five of them as chairman and CEO, I have decided that my family is entitled to more time from me than the responsibilities and obligations of continuing as PepsiCo's CEO requires and deserves," he said.PepsiCo said Nooyi's current responsibilities will be divided between two of the company's veterans. While Richard Goodman, 57, who is currently CFO of PepsiCo International, will assume the position of CFO for the corporation, Hugh F Johnston, 44, currently Senior VP, Transformation, has been promoted to the newly- created position of

executive vice president, operations, and will add global procurement and IT to his responsibilities. PepsiCo said Nooyi has directed the company's global strategy for over a decade and was the primary architect of its restructuring, including the divestiture of its restaurants into the success Brands, Inc., the spin-off and public offering of company-owned bottling operations into anchor bottler Pepsi Bottling Group, acquiring Tropicana, and the merger with Quaker Oats that brought the vital Quaker and Gatorade businesses to PepsiCo.Recently, Nooyi has been driving critical cross-business initiatives to enhance operations and enable PepsiCo meet the changing needs of consumers and retailers, the company said.Speaking on behalf of PepsiCo's board of directors, presiding Director Robert E Allen said: "We have seen first hand the difference that Indra has made on the business andthe people, and we look forward to working even more closely with her to usher in the next generation of dramatic growth and advancement that has been a hallmark of PepsiCo since its founding." On her part, Nooyi described her elevation as a humbling experience. "I am humbled by the opportunity to lead PepsiCo, and profoundly grateful to follow in the footsteps of Steve Reinemund, Roger Enrico, Wayne Calloway and Don Kendall". "Steve has steered the company to a strong and enviable position, and he will be a continuing source of wisdom and perspective. I am equally fortunate to have amazing partners, not only on the board and executive team, but in the 1,57,000 bright, talented colleagues around the world who deliver the results every day and are as committed as I am to continue capturing every growth opportunity," Nooyi said. As CEO, Nooyi's leadership team of direct reports will include the company's division chiefs - Michael D. White, PepsiCo vice chairman and chairman and CEO of PepsiCoInternational, who is also a member of the board of directors; Albert P Carey, President and CEO of FritoLay North America; John C Compton, President and CEO of Quaker-Tropicana- Gatorade; Thomas Greco, President of PepsiCo Sales; and Dawn Hudson, President and CEO of PepsiCola North Americ."
