1.1 Background Of The Organization
The Coca Cola Company is the world’s largest beverage company and is the leading
producer and marketer of soft drinks. Along with Coca Cola, recognized as the world’s
best-known brand, the company markets four of the world’s best known brands,
including Diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite. Through the world’s largest distribution system,
consumers in nearly 200 countries enjoy the company’s products at a rate of 1 billion
The Coca Cola Company exists to benefit and refresh everyone who is touched by the
business. Coca Cola was founded in May 8th, 1886 by Dr. John S. Pemberton in Atlanta,
Georgia. The name Coca Cola was suggested by Dr. Pemberton’s bookkeeper, Franc
Robinson. He penned the name Coca Cola in the flowing script that is famous today and
is known as the Spenserian script. Coca Cola was first sold at a soda fountain in Jacob's
Pharmacy, in Atlanta by Willis Venable. During the first year, sales of Coca Cola
averaged nine drinks a day, adding up to total sales for that year of $50. Since the year's
expenses were just over $70, Dr. Pemberton took a loss. The Coca Cola Company was

Today the company is the leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of nonalcoholic
beverage concentrates and syrups, used to produce more than 250 beverage brands all
across the world which is asking for beverages that span the entire spectrum of tastes and
occasions. What people want in a beverage is a reflection of which they are, where they
live, how they work and play, and how they relax and recharge. Whether a student in
United States enjoying a refreshing Coca Cola, a woman in Italy taking a tea break, a
child in Peru asking for a juice drink, or a couple in Korea buying packaged drinking

1.3 History of Soft Drinks
The history of soft drinks began with the end of the last century. Its history dates
back to the civil war in USA in 1860. At the time people were suffering from many
diseased.
Problem at that time was how to cure all these disease since no remedy was present
at that time. It was a big question for American people. So in 1885 Mr. Jihn
Palmwartion, who lived in Antonica, made a drink and registered it as FRENCH WINE
COLA. In the beginning the drink was made with mixture of cocaine and alcohol but
later on it was converted and changed into a soft drink. Now it is named as Coca-Cola. A
Around 1984 the first branded soft drink came in the Indian market. This soft drink
was named as “Gold Spot”. Parle Exports Pvt. Ltd. was the first Indian Company to
introduce a lemon soft drink, this drink was known as “Limca” and it was introduced in
1970s. However, before this drink had introduced” Cola Pepino” which was withdrew in
In the year 1977 Coca-Cola left Indian market and this brought in an opportunity
for various Indian companies to show their caliber. At this time a new soft drink was
14
This was a Coca-Cola drink which had a burnt sugar colour. This drink was
introduced with a mighty “Happy Days Are Here Again”. There was another company
named Pure Drinks which introduced the soft drink named “Campa Cola” along with
Just after this many more companies entered the Indian soft drink market. A soft drink
company, Mohan Meakins also came with a soft drink named “Marry & Puck-Up”.
Previously there was no competition in the Indian soft drink market but with all these
companies coming in the Indian market a huge competition was taking place with high
voltage advertisement. But in the year 1988 Pepsi-Cola was given permission to sell its
soft drinks in the Indian market by the Government of India. Coca-Coal also came back
in 1993.
15
1.4 Soft Drink Market In Indian Scenario
Indian soft drink industry is witnessing a boom time. Its growth rate is around 30%.
With such a high growth rate, volume could reach billion crates within 10 years. Two
major multinational companies are fighting to grab a major chunk of business from
Indian markets. These are Pepsi-Cola & Coca-Cola. Both of these companies have seen
an enormous potential in this country. Consequently, by world standard, Indian per capita
consumption of soft drinks is still very low. Therefore these soft drinks grants feel that
capita consumption can only grow up. Soft drink industry has already seen an estimated
sale of around 200 million cases in 1997(1 case = 24 bottles) which is 30 million crates
higher than last year’s sale 170 million in 1996. The main reason for such a high growth
rate is heightened competition between Pepsi-Cola & Coca-Cola, being a new entrant is
far behind.
India is actually more vivid in taste and preference than any other country market.
Delhi jar instance, accounts for about 20% of total soft drinks consumption in terms of
sales. There are about 4,50,000 soft drink retailers in India and their number is
increasing day by day. This actually means that there is just one soft drink retailer on a
population of 32,000 approximately which is far below the international standard. Where
as Philippines has one soft drink retail counter over a population of 150 people i.e.

Pepsi-Cola has taken the more capital intensive route of owning and running its
own bottling plants (Company Operated Bottling Operations or COBO), alongside those
of its franchisees.
Coca-Cola is mainly franchisee driven operations with the company supplying its
