Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd, Department of Cooperation,
Government of Gujarat. It is a dairy cooperative movement in India which is jointly owned by
around 2.6 million milk producers in Gujarat. It is known for its tagline the taste of India. It
has been a part of our life from past 50 years and with its brilliant marketing campaigns and by
delivering Quality Products it has become one of the biggest dairy brands in India with an
annual turnover of $9 billion in FY 2022-23. Amul's tagline, "The Taste of India," reflects its
commitment to providing high-quality and flavorful dairy products to its consumers. Amul has
adopted a distinctive and innovative marketing strategy. The company is recognized for its
innovative and imaginative advertising that frequently addresses current affairs and societal
issues. These commercials have grown to be an essential element of Amul's marketing plan
and have enabled the company to develop a deep emotional bond with its target audience.

The presence of Amul on social media is equally remarkable. Through numerous social media

1.1 HISTORY OF AMUL

Amul cooperative Society was registered on 19 December,1946 as a response to the unfair


treatment of local milk producers by the agents of the dairy of that time, the Polson dairy. The
selling price of the milk was determined by the agent. The government at that time had given
solo rights to Polson for the collection of milk from Kaira dairy farmers and to sell them in the
city of Mumbai. Angered by this ill treatment, the dairy farmers of Kaira district jointly created
an organization, Kaira District Co-Usable Milk Producers' Union, and supply milk directly to

10 |Page
Bombay rather than relying on Polson. The collection of milk was decentralized because most
of them were minor farmers who could provide only 1–2 liters of milk each day. Cooperative
societies were framed for every town. By June 1948, KDCMPUL had begun pasteurizing milk
for the 'Bombay Milk Scheme'.

In addition, Dr. Verghese Kurien established and headed the cooperative along with H.M.
Dalaya. The first modern dairy of the cooperative was established at Anand (Gujarat) because
of Dalaya's invention, which involved creating skimmed milk powder from buffalo milk for
the first time ever and then manufacturing it on a commercial scale. It faced out against
numerous well-known market players. The success at the cooperative's dairy quickly spread
throughout Anand's Gujarat neighborhood. As a result, five unions were established using the
strategy sometimes referred to as the "Anand pattern" in other districts. The Indian White
Revolution was underway in 1970. The Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd.
(GCMMF), the top marketing organization for these district cooperatives, was established in
1973 with the goal of integrating forces, expanding the market, and reducing costs linked to
advertising and internal competition. Amul was given to GCMMF by The Kaira Union, which
had been associated with the term since 1955.

Since that period, GCMMF has evolved to be India's leading food product marketing firm. It
is Gujarat's largest organization for dairy cooperatives. The exclusive marketing of goods sold
under the "Amul" and "Sagar" brands is the sole responsibility of GCMMF.

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

Marketing strategy has been a salient focus of academic inquiry since the 1980s, according to
(Mavondo 2000). There are numerous definitions of marketing strategy in the literature and
such definitions reflect different perspectives (Li et al 2000). A traditional definition of
marketing strategy is a plan for pursuing the firm’s objectives or how the company is going to
obtain its marketing goals with a specific market segment (Orville and Walker 2008; The
odosio, Leonidus, 2003; kotler, Armstrong, 2009) while Brodrechtova (2008) explains that
marketing strategy is a roadmap of how a firm assigns its resource and relates to its environment
and achieves corporate objective in order to generate economic value and keep the firm ahead
of its competitors.

Dr. S. Franklin John, S. Senith and Reshma Ravindran (2013), v “Branding is the solution for
product differentiation in Indian Dairy Industry”. The researcher used Statistical Package for
the Social Science (SPSS) for Microsoft Windows 16.0 was used to complete the analysis of
the collected data. In this study shows that customers purchase or select their product by the
brand. It implies that the product should have a good quality of a known brand which is price
effective and satisfies the needs and wants of the customer. It implies that the customers can
identify the product by their brand.

(R. Kasthuri, k. Kowsalya, 2018)


A Study on Consumer Satisfaction towards Milk Product. The marketing approach is linked
the basic premise that each customer is different and hence needs to be approached differently.
Also, given the exorbitant cost of researching each customer, it is possible to group them
according to common measurable and definably parameters and hence create segment. Thus,
the customer is the focal point of the marketing orientation. The selling approach is more
transaction based and aims at maximization in this short term. As opposed to this, the marketing
approach emphasizes customer management, customized approach to winning retaining the
customer, and hence, focuses on building profits over a long term. The selling approach,
generally, undermines research it is more intuitive. It works well in market that are less
complex, in the sense that competition is low and customers have very little choice .It works
on the mass marketing approach where in customer needs are aggregated.

sites”

always out of stock.”
