A masala is any of the many spice mixes used in Indian cuisine. The name
comes from the Hindi word for spice. Spice mixes are blended spices or herbs.
When a certain combination of herbs or spices is called for in many different
recipes (or in one recipe that is used frequently), it is convenient to blend these
ingredients beforehand. Blends such as chili powder, curry powder, herbs de
Provence, garlic salt, and other seasoned salts are traditionally sold pre-made by
grocers, and sometimes baking blends such as pumpkin pie spice are also
available. These spice mixes are also easily made by the home cook for later use
The customers of are the house wives and those who want quick and easy
cooking solution, restaurants, hotels, canteens are the other consumer.

"ABHISHEK MASALA" the Queen of spices as the household name among the
millions today, Mr.P.C.DURAISAMY, the Founder of the Company was a small
time turmeric trader, from a village called PUSAD. He found ABHISHEK
PROVISION in 2003 and was doing Turmeric Trading for some time. Later, he
entered into the arena of pure spice powders like Turmeric, Chilli and
Coriander. His inquisitiveness let him to enter into masala world with
dauntless. He encountered a lot of hurdles, since selling masala powders during
those days to the oriental women who are traditionally conservative, was not that
easy. It was the concept selling on "Easy Cooking" rather than marketing food
products. With self -determination and persistent attempts he was able to get into
the kitchens of our country and the rest of the world.
The story may look like a miracle, but the hard work, the pot holes and the bumps
on the way and the stormy inclement weather are known only to him. The person
who stood behind him for all his achievements was his business partner and
understanding life partner Dr.SanthiDuraisamy, the Director of the Company.

Absolute sales figures obtained from the survey through retailers may be
inflated.
The brand level penetration study is limited because the project is only
dealing with Western Masala products and not the entire range of Masala
products available.
Absolute sales figures for competitor brands obtained from sample space
of retailers are insufficient to draw an analysis of sales performance for
competitor brands.
Given the time limit and scope of the project Market Penetration of
Abhishek’s Western Masala has not been calculated using the method of
Total Sales to Total Consumer Base. Penetration percentage of
Abhishek’s Western Masala in the study will denote only an estimate of
the availability of the product line in the Retail market.
Given the time limit and constraints Competitive Analysis does not
include identification of Indirect Competitors (substitutes).
