In the late 19th and early 20th century Unilever used to export its products to India. This
process began in 1888 with the export of Sunlight soap, which was followed by Lifebuoy
in 1895 and other famous brands like Pears, Lux and Vim soon after. In 1931, Unilever set
Lever Brothers India Limited (1933) and United Traders Limited (1935). The three
companies were merged in November 1956 and the new entity that came into existence
after merger was called as Hindustan Lever Limited. HLL offered 10% of its equity to the
Indian public, and it was the first among the foreign subsidiaries to do so. Currently,
Unilever holds 51.55% equity in the company while the rest of the shareholding is

Brooke Bond entered Indian market in 1900 and in 1903 it launched Red Label tea in the
country. In 1912, Brooke Bond & Co. India Limited was formed. Unilever acquired
Brooke Bond through an international acquisition. Similarly, Lipton's link with India date
back to 1898. Unilever acquired Lipton in 1972 and in 1977 Lipton Tea (India) Limited

The liberalization of Indian economy in 1991 and subsequent removal of the regulatory
framework allowed HLL to explore every single product and opportunity segment, without
any constraints on production capacity. The 1990s witnessed a string of crucial mergers,
acquisitions and alliances. In 1992, the erstwhile Brooke Bond acquired Kothari General
Foods, with significant interests in Instant Coffee. In 1993, it acquired the Kissan business
from the UB Group and the Dollops Ice-cream business from Cadbury India. In one of the
most talked about events of India's corporate history, the erstwhile Tata Oil Mills
Company (TOMCO) merged with HLL, effective from April 1, 1993. In July 1993,
Brooke Bond India and Lipton India merged to form Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited
(BBLIL). Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited launched Wall's range of Frozen Desserts in
1994 and by the end of the year, HLL entered into a strategic alliance with the Kwality
Icecream Group families. BBLIL merged with HLL, with effect from January 1, 1996.
HLL has also set up a subsidiary in Nepal, Nepal Lever Limited (NLL). The NLL factory

(“Daag aache hain” for Surf and “Smart Shrimati “ for Wheel) has helped it to regainits old
position. In the soaps segment, HUL continues to enjoy market share of 52.7%, which is

This segment grew by 9.3% in CY07 (first three quarters were laggards but the fourth

new products) and constitutes 46% of the total PBIT of the company. This segment grew

The hair wash category is dominated by players like P&G, HUL and Cavinkare. P&G has
three main brands - Pantene, Head &Shoulders and Rejoice. CavinKare dominates the rural

newly launched Dove range continues to garner market share and the market share of HUL
in the shampoo market has stood at 46.5% in JQ’08. However, thecompetition has further
intensified with the entry of ITC with its brand Fiama di Wills. In the Skincare category,

Retail penetration in Udaipur is possible and it will also help to generate profitability in
this market and the reason behind this is the brand presence and quality . As we know
H.U.L is also known for its strong distribution network and in Udaipur some product in
Page

H.U.L is having a great mindset in middleclass segment like laundry, personal wash, soaps
and beverages these product are commonly known for its loyal brand among customer .
H.U.L having a high investment in advertising and which makes brands more common and
renowned brand among people .If we talk about Udaipur market there is tough competition
between some brand like p&g , and ITC and some small companies like ayur , joy but as
we have wide range of variety and strong distribution network it is quite easy for company
to capture big market share in Udaipur. During survey in market we find that most of the
shops thinks that some of the company having good sales in Udaipur these companies
include Dabur, Joy, Itc , . if we talk about the home and personal care some brands are
more popular in Udaipur .e.g. sunsilk ,lux ,dove, surf excel , and brook bond is most
commonly used product with good sales and margins and shopkeepers are really happy
with the profit margins and scheme which is provided by company though some problems
comes in light regarding payment condition but beside this they feel proud with H.U.L .

We believe with the rising consumerism, roll-out of the retail formats and increasing
penetration in the rural market, the growth momentum of HUL is expected to remain
strong in the coming quarters. There are certain categories like shampoo, skin cream and
detergents where it could increase its penetration in the rural areas with its vast distribution
reach.
Moreover, we believe that evolving modern trade channels could benefit HUL not just in
increasing its market share but also improving the product mix. HUL expects modern trade
to account for about 10% of the market by 2010 and 15% by 2015 from the current levels
of 5%.. The most interesting fact about modern trade is that the premium range witnesses
HUL is investing in building capacities and improving processes for Modern Trade and has

Customer perception
One of the major brand of H.U.L in skin segment . with the presence of wide range in fair
and lovely it has become the famous brand among middle class . but due to the presence
of some competitors the sale of fair and lovely comes down . many shopkeepers feels that
the sale is not such good as before with the strong distribution network of competitors the
availability of skin cream increased day by day . fair and lovely have a very great impact
among middleclass women but the product which was recently introduced by fair and
lovely for men is not so much popular . and the reason behind this is the perception of
middle class people towards fair and lovely .that this product belong to women as compare
to men . As per the fact which we get by survey is the sale of this product is seasonal now
it become more popular in summer as compare to winter . and the strong competitor of this
product is fair one by shehnaz Husain , fair and handsome by Emami and Boro plus . these
LUX -
Lux is one of the most success full beauty bar for H.U.L. Lux having a great impact in not
only urban but in rural market lux which is commonly known as film star soap . but we
have to consider this fact that the sale of this product also faces a lots of problem due to
Page
20
competitors product like Dyna , Gorej no 1 , Cinthol etc , in this scenario the perception
of customer is changed day by day with the presence of global market in India there is
easy availability of lots of foreign soaps easily which effect lux and many important brand
of H.U.L . for increase of sales we have to focus on customer relationship which is really
very important for any product we have to reach our customers and understand our
customers’ demands by some research . lux is one of the highest profitable brand in soaps
category . lux having a lots of variety like milk , chocolates, fruits etc . for this brand we
can say now we have to change our approach and focus on local market by giving lots of
offers and varieties . lux having a good sale on some stores but having also low sales in
some stores so we have to focus on that store also where the sale of product falls down .
Surf excel -
Surf excel having good sale in almost everywhere or we can say surf excel is one of the
key product for H.U.L . Ariel which is the brand of P&G also having a good share in
market are giving strong competition to surf excel . but beside this by interaction with
customer the major problem which comes in mind is the price . 80 rs per kg and whereas
some product is much cheeper than surf excel like Nirma , double dog (more) etc these
products are also capable of producing good quality in Indian market and today the
customer is more price conscious . so we have to focus on price also which is really very
important for this product .with the present of sachet sceme there is comptetion between
surf excel and ariel whose having a same rate . but if we talk about tide it cost rupees 1 . as
we talk about Indian market we have to focus more on price . because price and quality are
two more important aspect for good sale and surf excel is a good brand with best quality
Page
21
but due to high cost the sale is not so up to the mark . because this product is still far away
from middle class so by focusing on price we can create opportunity to get the huge market
Sunsilk
Sunsilk faces a lot of compteion in Indian market with the presence of lots of companies
in market the major products of H.u.l. is sunsilk shampoo whic h have good sales in
urban & rular market . The major competitors of this product is vatika
shop. Compay should focus on expectation of customers demand and launched the new
product time to time. Sunsilk is one of the successfull product in market having good
impact in womens .mostly women who belongs from middle class consume this product
sunsilk is easily available in sachet . which also have good sale most of the shopkeepers
feels that sunsilk is a type of product which is brand loyal product for most womens .
COMPTETION -:
DABUR –
Page
22
Dabur is commonly deal with food product but also play a role in shampoo and oral care .
dabour is vatika ,meswak are the two most successfull product of dabur . which have good
increase in sales and having popular brand among customers . sales of dabour increases
approx 20 % in Udaipur according to some shopkeeper and the reason behind this is dabur
is also known as market leader in health care product so it most renowned product in
market and customers are more loyal towards this product both in shampoo and oral care
P&G
P&G commonly known as procter and gamble one of the big giant in not only in india but
in world having good brand name . P&G have wide range of product as it is recognize as
MNC .P&G having a great impact in urban market product like Ariel , head & shoulder,
tide . according to some shopkeepers p&g having average sale in Udaipur . the strong point

increasing its market share but also improvingthe product mix. HUL expects modern trade

In Udaipur modern trend play a huge impact over general trading because as we know
.udaipur is well known city for tourism. If we talk about the income standard of people
here we can say this city have more middleclass segment which means people are capable
to purchase product easily . malls and modern trend is the place where people can easily
spend some time for entertainment like what happen in metro citys.and the sale of product
also comes high as compare to small store because with the presence of wide range of
variety in market . customers have more variety , more choices . like the source which we
get from vishal mega mart in Udaipur they have highest sale approx( 3,00,000) rs for a
The only worry for company in modern trend is competition like presence of Dabour, ITC,
P&G, and Ayur. And some of these companies are working in a very low cost like ayur,
joy.In big market it is not possible for every company to make their huge impact in
customer mind because customer are more brand conscious and more quality concerned .

changed with a drastic variations of figures .Wheares high class people spend more
time in malls and poor people still like general market . most of the people like to
go for shopping in malls because their they get all categories of items at one place
4. As we know india has the biggest market with compare to some parts of other

come and set their market among Indians but in reality its really different now the
time has change people are more conscious about the product and its quality and

7. Most of the people think that H.U.L is much costly than other brand .H.U.L having
three segment U1,U2,U3 .and if we talk about U2 segment which is lakme its really
costly for middle class and some product in U1 is also very costly like surf excel .
