 PREFACE

Techniques adopted in our classrooms can never progress recently in filling the gap between theory

and practical by replace the inevitable need of practical experience. There has been much different

programme.

Master of Business Administration, a two year duration course in management, divided into

four semester of six month each, is conducive to prepare professional managers to cope with the

requirement of Indian society i.e. to achieve optimum utilization of financial resources. This course

enables a student to build a foundation of theoretical knowledge in various functional areas of

marketing.

These theories are formulated on the basis of past practice of different functional activities

and research. As per requirement of the course, everybody has to undergo summer training. I have

worked on “study on customer satisfaction for Surya Roshni Ltd under various segments” as a

topic of my project. The report is divided into several parts such as company profile, objective,

research, findings, analysis & conclusions.

Although, I have tried my best in the work, yet I do not have any misconception of its being
perfect. Any criticism will make me more proficient in any future work.

 CHAPTER 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer satisfaction is
seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of business strategy.
Customer satisfaction is an abstract concept and the actual manifestation of the state of
satisfaction will vary from person to person and product/service to product/service. The state of
satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical variables which correlate
with satisfaction behaviors such as return and recommend rate. The level of satisfaction can also
vary depending on other factors the customer, such as other products against which the customer
can compare the organization's products. The enormous retail boom in India has given space to
many companies who have mushroomed out to benefit from this retail boom, which is nothing
but a structured format of the unorganized retail business which is being done in India from ages.
Many stores have come up with exquisite interiors, state of the art infrastructure and the best
possible products or services to the customer which has led to the growth of mall culture in India.
The stores try and attract customers by providing them with such services and plethora of options
in products and services in different categories so that they can retain customers for long and
make them loyal towards their retail stores. The retail business is booming in India and there has
been remarkable shift in the buying behavior of the people from traditional stores to these
departmental stores. It becomes important for the marketers to understand these relationships
service quality and customer satisfaction.In this project work the marketing suirvey for Surya
Roshni ltd is conducted to know the customer satisfaction among the retail shops and also to take
response from the person dealing in electrical department of other segments including
educational institutions,hospitals,hotels,builders and constructors.

LITERATURE REVIEW
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Business always starts and closes with customers and hence the customers must be treated as the
King of the market. All the business enhancements, profit, status, image etc of the organization
depends on customers. Hence it is important for all the organizations to meet all the customers’
expectations and identify that they are satisfied customer.

Customer satisfaction is the measure of how the needs and responses are collaborated and
delivered to excel customer expectation. It can only be attained if the customer has an overall
good relationship with the supplier. In today’s competitive business marketplace, customer
satisfaction is an important performance exponent and basic differentiator of business strategies.
Hence, the more is customer satisfaction; more is the business and the bonding with customer.

Customer satisfaction is a part of customer’s experience that exposes a supplier’s behavior

on customer’s expectation. It also depends on how efficiently it is managed and how promptly
services are provided. This satisfaction could be related to various business aspects like
marketing, product manufacturing, engineering, quality of products and services, responses
customer’s problems and queries, completion of project, post delivery services, complaint
management etc.

Customer satisfaction is the overall essence of the impression about the supplier by the
customers. This impression which a customer makes regarding supplier is the sum total of all the
process he goes through, right from communicating supplier before doing any marketing to post
delivery options and services and managing queries or complaints post delivery. During this
process the customer comes across working environment of various departments and the type of
strategies involved in the organization. This helps the customer to make strong opinion about the
supplier which finally results in satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

Customer’s perception on supplier helps the customer choose among the supplier on basis of
money value and how well the delivered products suit all the requirements. The supplier’s
services never diminishes after the delivery as customer seeks high values post marketing
services which could help them use and customize the delivered product more efficiently. If he is
satisfied with the post marketing services then there are good chances for supplier to retain the
customers to enhance repeated purchases and make good business profits.

It is necessarily required for an organization to interact and communicate with customers

on a regular basis to increase customer satisfaction. In these interactions and communications
it is required to learn and determine all individual customer needs and respond accordingly. Even
if the products are identical in competing markets, satisfaction provides high retention rates. For
example, shoppers and retailers are engaged with frequent shopping and credit cards to gain
customer satisfaction, many high end retailers also provide membership cards and discount
benefits on those cards so that the customer remain loyal to them.
Higher the satisfaction level, higher is the sentimental attachment of customers with the specific
brand of product and also with the supplier. This helps in making a strong and healthy customer-
supplier bonding. This bonding forces the customer to be tied up with that particular supplier and
chances of defection very less. Hence customer satisfaction is very important panorama that
every supplier should focus on to establish a renounced position in the global market and
enhance business and profit. Every business unit emphasizes on spurting a long term relationship
with customers to nurture its stability in today’s blooming market. Customer’s expectations are
now not only limited to get best products and services, they also need a face-to-face business in
which they want to receive exactly what they demand and in a quick time.

Customer Relationship Management is an upright concept or strategy to solidify relations

with customers and at the same time reducing cost and enhancing productivity and
profitability in business. An ideal CRM system is a centralized collection all data sources under
an organization and provides an atomistic real time vision of customer information. A CRM
system is vast and significant, but it be can implemented for small business, as well as large
enterprises also as the main goal is to assist the customers efficiently.

Usually an organization consists of various departments which predominantly have access to

customer’s information either directly or indirectly. A CRM system piles up this information
centrally, examines it and then makes it addressable within all the departments.

Lets take an example of an international call center which uses a CRM tool called ‘xyz’ and is
integrated with a phone and a computer system or laptop. Now this system automatically
perceives which customer is calling. Before the executive attends the phone the CRM system
brings forth the customer details on the computer or laptop screen and also indicates what the
opportunity of deals is with that particular customer, what the customer had already purchased or
ordered in past and what is the probability of buying in future. Not only this, it can also highlight
what all products best suit this customer. For finance department it may show the information
regarding the current balance and for accounting department it may pop out the information
regarding the recent purchases by the customer. All these pieces of data are stored in the CRM
database and are available as and when it is needed.

According to this example, CRM system provides a well defined platform for all business
units to interact with their clients and fulfill all their needs and demands very effectively
and to build long-term relationship.

Wangling this kind of relationship with customers is not easy to manage and it depends on how
the systematically and flexibly a CRM system is implemented or integrated. But once it’s
accomplished it serves the best way in dealing with customers. In turn customers feels gratitude
of self-satisfaction and loyalty which results in better bonding with supplier and hence increasing
the business.

A CRM system is not only used to deal with the existing customers but is also useful in acquiring
new customers. The process first starts with identifying a customer and maintaining all the
corresponding details into the CRM system which is also called an ‘Opportunity of Business’.
The Sales and Field representatives then try getting business out of these customers by
sophistically following up with them and converting them into a winning deal.

Customer Relationship Management strategies have given a new outlook to all the suppliers and
customers to keep the business going under an estimable relationship by fulfilling mutual needs
of buying and selling.

Customer Relationship Management is a strategy which is customized by an organization to

manage and administrate its customers and vendors in an efficient manner for achieving
excellence in business. It is primarily entangled with following features:

1. Customers Needs- An organization can never assume what actually a customer needs.
Hence it is extremely important to interview a customer about all the likes and dislikes so
that the actual needs can be ascertained and prioritized. Without modulating the actual
needs it is arduous to serve the customer effectively and maintain a long-term deal.
2. Customers Response- Customer response is the reaction by the organization to the
queries and activities of the customer. Dealing with these queries intelligently is very
important as small misunderstandings could convey unalike perceptions. Success totally
depends on the understanding and interpreting these queries and then working out to
provide the best solution. During this situation if the supplier wins to satisfy the customer
by properly answering to his queries, he succeeds in explicating a professional and
emotional relationship with him.
3. Customer Satisfaction- Customer satisfaction is the measure of how the needs and
responses are collaborated and delivered to excel customer expectation. In today’s
competitive business marketplace, customer satisfaction is an important performance
exponent and basic differentiator of business strategies. Hence, the more is customer
satisfaction; more is the business and the bonding with customer.
4. Customer Loyalty- Customer loyalty is the tendency of the customer to remain in
business with a particular supplier and buy the products regularly. This is usually seen
when a customer is very much satisfied by the supplier and re-visits the organization for
business deals, or when he is tended towards re-buying a particular product or brand over
times by that supplier. To continue the customer loyalty the most important aspect an
organization should focus on is customer satisfaction. Hence, customer loyalty is an
influencing aspect of CRM and is always crucial for business success.
5. Customer Retention- Customer retention is a strategic process to keep or retain the
existing customers and not letting them to diverge or defect to other suppliers or
organization for business. Usually a loyal customer is tended towards sticking to a
particular brand or product as far as his basic needs continue to be properly fulfilled. He
does not opt for taking a risk in going for a new product. More is the possibility to retain
customers the more is the probability of net growth of business.
6. Customer Complaints- Always there exists a challenge for suppliers to deal with
complaints raised by customers. Normally raising a complaint indicates the act of
dissatisfaction of the customer. There can be several reasons for a customer to launch a
complaint. A genuine reason can also exist due to which the customer is dissatisfied but
sometimes complaints are launched due to some sort of misunderstanding in analyzing
and interpreting the conditions of the deal provided by the supplier regarding any product
or service. Handling these complaints to ultimate satisfaction of the customer is
substantial for any organization and hence it is essential for them to have predefined set
of process in CRM to deal with these complaints and efficiently resolve it in no time.
7. Customer Service- In an organization Customer Service is the process of delivering
information and services regarding all the products and brands. Customer satisfaction
depends on quality of service provided to him by the supplier. The organization has not
only to elaborate and clarify the details of the services to be provided to the customer but
also to abide with the conditions as well. If the quality and trend of service go beyond
customer’s expectation, the organization is supposed to have a good business with
customers.

INDUSTRY PROFILE AND COMPANY
PROFILE
Global Lighting Industry
Electrical lightings and fittings are an important part in our surrounding. Lights of all types and
sizes is critical in indoor, outdoor, lighting and other industrial applications. The lighting industry
is expected to experience considerable change and varying growth rates in these uncertain
economic times. The global export market of the Electricals is stated to be close to $27 billion a
year with the US, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan being the biggest importers. India is one
of the major exporting nations including Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
Lighting or illumination is the deliberate use of light to achieve a practical or aesthetic effect.
Lighting includes the use of both artificial light sources like lamps and light fixtures, as well as
natural illumination by capturing daylight. Daylighting (using windows, skylights, or light
shelves) is sometimes used as the main source of light during daytime in buildings. This can
save energy in place of using artificial lighting, which represents a major component of energy
consumption in buildings. Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance
of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants. Indoor lighting is usually
accomplished using light fixtures, and is a key part of interior design. Lighting can also be an
intrinsic component of landscape projects.

Indian Lighting Industry-An Overview

The lighting market in India is evolving rapidly, moving from using conventional products to
LEDs. This transition is driven by an increasing number of government initiatives for energy
conservation, rising consumer awareness about energy-efficient products, and innovative products
offered by the industry that are in sync with the overall trend of digitization. This evolution
indicates a tectonic shift in technology from electrical to electronics. In turn, this may represent a
significant growth opportunity for companies offering electronic hardware/ components and
solutions used in LED lighting. India's lighting market is worth US$1.75 billion, with year-on-year
growth of 7.5%, and is stipulated to reach US$2.75 billion. CFL is the biggest and fastest growing
segment across the Indian lighting market space, accounting for 27.5% of total sales value.
The CFL segment is stipulated to reach US$760 million, contributing to 28% of the total domestic
market. Luminaires is the second leading segment constituting 22% of the total. India's
Government initiatives to replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs, increasing energy demand
supply gap and declining prices have been leading to an increase in India's LED market, which is
stipulated to reach $ 1,457 million by 2019, with a CAGR of 35,9% between 2014 and 2019.

CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION

Now I shall conclude my study, when I go through my whole research, there are several points

which are quite peculiar. The first and foremost fact which comes out is that “Surya” appear as

closest competitors of Philips. This is due to less price and effective sales promotional scheme

including emphatic advertisements. It is also obvious that Surya is in the third position in the sales

volume. It is due to reason that advertising campaign of Surya is not so large. The market of Surya

steel pipes is growing at rapid speed. Surya being one of the dominating Co. in Indian electrical

market is expected to attract significant attention among the retailers and investors. In this industry

segment there has been heightened competition with other leading players like Philips, Crompton,

Havells and many others.

Majority of the people have informed Brand Awareness toward Surya Electricals. Most of the

customers are very much satisfied with the services offered by the company while few of them are

not satisfied some of them never heard the name of the brand. Many of the retailers rated the

satisfaction levels as excellent (supply, quality); Buying behavior is dependent on product

awareness.

Many of the retailers have stated that the prices charged on services are high when comparing

to other company’s services. Finally the customers are very happy about Brand Awareness toward

Surya Electricals. According to retailers opinion, they rate the quality of Surya Electricals which

is very good. The people responsible for dealing with electrical department of various segments

are not so aware of the Surya products because of the leading competitors like Philips ,syska and

Crompton.A successful retailing strategy will be embedded within a customer-driven general

business strategy.
