SUMMARY
This research as the name suggests, “Survey on consumer for the
usage of branded Soap” is concerned with the potential consumer of
different branded soap. In this research we take 60 consumers as sample for
research. We made a questionnaire and fill up from these potential
consumers. We divide this consumer in three segments Upper Class, Middle
Class and Lower Class. Out of this we conclude about the whole population
for usage of different soap. In this research we find that most of the higher
class consumers use Pears, Dove etc type of soap which has higher price in
comparison with other branded soap. Middle class consumers prefer
Medimix, Dettol, and Hamam etc which is Optimum level of price. Low
level class mostly uses Lux, Lifebuoy etc which is price around Rs.10-15/-.
We also conclude that any class of consumer chooses their soap
according to their suitability. Many consumer uses according to doctor’s
advice. Consumers also purchase branded soap because their favorite
celebrity represents the product. People aware about the product from the
median like T.V., Newspapers, Magazines, Word of mouth People satisfied
with their product so they use it for long duration; if they are not satisfied
with the particular product then they want changes like Fragnance,
Packaging, Quality, Price etc.
At last, we conclude that if consumer are not satisfied with the
particular product than they go for another product. From this we know that
which particular brand soap is mostly uses in Market.

OBJECTIVE
Project Objective Definition
The project objective consists of the business benefits that an organization
expects to achieve as a result of spending time and exerting effort to
complete a project.
Project objectives are often confused with project products e.g. the objective
of our project is to install system X. This sort of objective fails the "so
what?" test. That is, what is the end result of installing system X? It is this
end result that should be noted as the project objective.
TYPES OF PROJECT
Project objectives can be divided into three categories:
1. Main objectives (the reasons for doing the project)
2. Additional objectives (the benefits achieved almost as side-effects, not
the reasons for doing the project)
3. Non-objectives (the benefits that are not to be expected as a result of
the project). Care should be taken to list only such non-objectives that
can be reasonably expected by project sponsors or other interested
parties, but are not going to be achieved by the project. For example, a
project to implement SAP R/3 is not going to reduce the cost of data
entry, although this might be expected.
HERE THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
TO GAIN PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE:By the project work we make
a balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. Bookish knowledge
is worthless without practical knowledge.

TO IMPROVE OUR ANLATICAL SKILLS:In the project work we
visit different types of industries and interact with the environment of those
industries. We also aware of different type of requirements of the market. By
the analytical skills we try to know that how much any firm and industries
are fulfilling the requirement of the market.
FOR COLLECTING DATA: By the project work we collect different
types of data just as primary and secondary data. That data helps in making
managerial decisions.
TO ENHANCE OUR PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE: MBA is the merger
of theoretical study with practical work to be a proficient and problem solver
with skilled mind

chance to work in market, to come across with customer, to talk with public,

ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE FIRM: For preparing the project report,
we search different types of dates both primary as well secondary and the
relevant dates for our purpose. These measures escalate our analytical study
about those particular firms.
TO BE FAMILIAR WITH WORK CULTURE: During the project work
till the report writing, we work in corporate arena and become habituated
with work culture.

OVERVIEW
are useful for cleaning because soap molecules have both a
hydrophilic end, which dissolves in water, as well as a
hydrophobic end, which is able to dissolve nonpolar grease molecules.
Although grease will normally adhere to skin or clothing, the soap molecules
can form micelles which surround the grease particles and allow them to be
dissolved in water. The hydrophobic portion (made up of a long
hydrocarbon chain) dissolves dirt and oils, while the ionic end dissolves in
water. Therefore, it allows water to remove normally-insoluble matter by
emulsification.
