EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
These days‟ people are prone to placing food orders online and capitalizing this trend a lot
of restaurants are yielding good returns by registering themselves on online ordering sites
like , Swiggy, etc. and many local ordering websites are also following suit.
To sustain and grow in such fast growing industry, players should offer something
different from competitors with efficiency. In this research project we focused on service
gaps in existing online food delivery industry and how Swiggy transformed this gap into
opportunity to establish them as a strong competitor in online food industry. Also we did
some secondary research by firing questions to existing consumer of online food about
their expectations which will basically fill the service gaps.

problem quickly, correctly and systematically. In MR, specific marketing problem is

Channel Development
Today, global brands are placing a greater emphasis on „go to market‟ plans. These are
driven by sales strategies that rely on channel partners who become the face of the brand –
from a customer service as well as from the experience perspective. At REANDRO, we

I worked as an intern in REANDRO India Pvt. Ltd. I worked over arketing in swiggy with
Kapil Sir and Ashok Srivastava Sir.
So I did not have to handle any core responsibilities. I only looked after the supporting
work, like: calling selected candidates for interview, interview coordination, help new
employees to complete joining procedures, coordinate the joining of interns.
Interview Coordination:
I also coordinated interview. For interview, they used to provide me a list of candidates
with the time, specified for each candidate. Based on the time, it was my duty to manage
the queue of the candidates.
24
I was given work to call previous employees of Swiggy for joining Swiggy as a
promoter.
Some of them attended the interview and some of them refuse to attend the interview.

MARKETING
RESEARCH
33
Meaning
Research means detailed study of a problem. Here, the details of the marketing problem
are collected and studied, conclusions are drawn and suggestions are made to solve the
problem quickly, correctly and systematically. In MR, specific marketing problem is
studied in depth by collecting and analyzing all relevant information and solution are
suggested to solve the problem which may be related to consumers, product, market
competition, sales promotion and so on.
In brief, MR facilitates accurate marketing decisions for consumer satisfaction on the one
hand and sales promotion on the other hand. It is rightly treated as the soul of modern
marketing management. MR suggests possible solution on marketing problem to
marketing manager for his consideration and final selection. It is rightly said that the
beginning and end of marketing management is marketing research. It is primarily used to
provide information needed to guide marketing decision, market mix. It acts as a support
system to marketing management.
34
and aid to decision-making. It suggests possible solution for the consideration and
selection by managers. MR is an aid to judgement and never a substitute for it.
7) Applied type of research:- MR is applied knowledge. It is also called „decisional‟
research as it provides specific alternative solution to deal with a specific marketing
problem. It studies specific marketing problem and suggests alternative solution and
possible.
8) Reduces the gap between the producers and consumer :- MR is an essential
supplement of modern competitive marketing. It is useful for understanding the
needs and expectations of consumers. It reduces the gap between producers and
consumers and adjusts the marketing activities to suit the needs of consumer.
9) Not an exact science:- MR is both science and an art. It collects information and
studies marketing problem in a scientific manner. The information collected is also
applied to real life problem. However, MR is not an exact science. It only suggests
possible solution and not the exact solution to marketing manager for consideration
and selection. At present, MR is treated as a professional activity. We have
professional research agencies dealing with the marketing problem of their clients
on commission basis.
10) Use of different methods:- MR can be conducted by using different
methods. Data can be collected through survey or by other methods like observation
method or experimentation method. Even computers and internet are used for data
collection. The researcher has to decide the method suitable for his research project.
12) Closely connected with marketing information system:- both the concepts
are interrelated. In fact, MR is one components of MIS. Both are useful for solving
marketing problem and for accurate and quick decision-making in the field of
marketing.
creates new problem before the manufacturers which can be faced effectively
through MR as it acts as a feed-back mechanism to ascertain first hand information,
reaction, etc. of consumers and middleman. Marketing activities can be adjusted
accordingly.
2) Wide gap between producers and consumers:- marketing research is needed as
there is a wide gap between producers and consumers in the present marketing
system. Due to mass scale production and distribution, direct contact between
producers and consumers. Producers do not get dependable information as regards
needs, expectation and reactions of consumers, they are unable to adjust their
products, packaging, prices, etc. as per the needs of consumers. The problem
created due to information gap can be solved only through MR as it possible to
establish contact with consumers and collect first hand information about their
needs, expectation, likes, dislikes, preferences and special features of their
behaviour. Thus, MR is needed for removing the wide communication gap between
producers and consumers.
3) Changes in the composition of population and pattern of consumption: - In
India, many changes are taking place in the composition of population. There is a
shift of population from rural to urban areas. There have been considerable changes
in the consumption and expenditure patterns of consumers in India. The incomes of
the people, in general, are rising. This brings corresponding increase in their
purchasing capacity and buying needs and habits. The demand for consumer
durables is fast increasing. The market are now flooded with consumer durables like
TV sets and so on. Manufacturers are expected to know such qualitative and
quantitative changes in the consumer preferences and their consumption pattern. For
achieving this objective, MR activities are necessary and useful. In brief, MR is
needed for the study of changes in the pattern of consumption and corresponding
adjustment in the marketing planning, policies strategies.
4) Growing importance of consumers in marketing:-Consumers occupy key
position in modern marketing system. They are now well informed about market
38
trends, goods available, consumer rights and protection available to them through
consumer protection acts, the growth of consumerism has created new challenges
before manufacturers and traders. Even growing customer expectations create
situation when manufacturers have to understand such expectations and adjust the
production policies accordingly. Indifference towards consumer expectations may
lead to loss of business. In the present marketing system, consumers cannot be taken
for granted. Marketing research particularly consumer research gives valuable data
relating to consumers. It is possible to use such data fruitfully while framing
marketing policies. Thus, marketing decisions can be made pro consumer through
marketing research activities.
5) Shift of competition from price to non-price factors:- Cut-throat competition is
unavoidable in the present marketing field. Such competition may be due to various
factors such as price, quality, and packaging, advertising and sales promotion
techniques. Entry of new competitors creates new problems in the marketing of
goods and services. In addition, market competition is no more restricted to price
factor alone. There are other non-price factors such as packaging, branding, after-
sales and advertising which create severe market competition. Every producer has
to find out the extent of such non-price competition and the manner in which he can
face it with confidence. MR is needed as it offers guidance in this regards. A
manufacturer can face market competition even by using certain non-price factors.
The shifting of competition from price to non-price factors has made marketing of
consumer goods more complicated and challenging. This challenge can be faced
with confidence by using certain measures through marketing research.
6) Need of prompt decision making :- In competitive marketing, marketing executive
have to take quick and correct decision. Companies have to develop and market
new products more quickly than ever before. However, such decision is always
difficult. Moreover, wrong decisions may bring loss to the organisation. For correct
decision making, marketing executive need reliable data and up to date market
information. Here, MR comes to the rescue of marketing manager. Problems in
39
marketing are located, defined, analysed and solved through MR techniques. This
suggests its need as a tool for decision making. MR is needed as a tool for
reasonably accurate decision making in the present highly competitive market
system.
1) Indicates current market trends:- marketing research keep business unit in touch
with the current market trends and offer guidance for facing market situation with
confidence.
2) Pinpoints deficiencies in marketing policies:- MR pinpoints the deficiencies as
regards product, pricing, promotion, etc. it give guidance regarding different of
marketing. They include product development, branding, and packaging.
3) Explains customer resistance: - MR is useful for finding out customer resistance to
company‟s products. Remedial measures are also suggested by the researcher to
deal with the situation. This makes the product and marketing policies agreeable to
consumers.
4) Suggests sales promotion techniques:- MR enables a manufacturer to introduce
appropriate sales promotion techniques, select most convenient channel of
distribution, suitable pricing policy for the products and provision of discounts and
concessions to dealers. Marketing research facilitates sales promotion.
5) Offers guidance to marketing executives:- MR offers information and guidance to
marketing executives while framing marketing policies. Continuous research
enables a company to face adverse marketing situation boldly. It acts as an
insurance against possible changes in market environment.
6) Facilitates selection and training of sales force: marketing research is useful for the
selection and training of staff in the sales organisation. It also suggests the
incentives which should be offered for motivation of employees concerned with
marketing.
7) Promotes business activities: - marketing research enables a business unit grow its
activities. It creates goodwill in the market and also enables a business unit to earn
high profits through consumer oriented marketing policies and programmes.
8) Facilitates appraisal of marketing policies: Research activities enable business
executives to have an appraisal of the present marketing policies in the light of
42
findings of research work. Suitable adjustments in the policies are also possible as
per the suggestions made by the researchers.
9) Suggests new marketing opportunities: MR suggests new marketing opportunities
and the manner in which they can be exploited fully. It identifies emerging market
opportunities.
10) Facilitates inventory study: marketing research is useful for the evaluation of
company‟s inventory policies and also for the introduction of more efficient ways of
managing inventories including finished goods and raw material.
11) Provides marketing information: MR provides information on various
aspects of marketing. It suggests relative strengths and weakness of the company.
On the basis of such information, marketing executives find it easy to frame policies
for the future period. MR provides information, guidance and alternative solutions
to current marketing problems.
12) Suggests appropriate distribution channels: MR can be used to study the
effectiveness of existing channels of distribution and the need of making suitable
changes in the distribution system.
13) Provides information on product acceptance: marketing research helps in
knowing the probability of acceptance of the product in its present form. It is also
useful for the introduction of modifications in the existing product line of a firm.
14) Creates progressive outlook: MR generates progressive and dynamic outlook
throughout the business organisation. It promotes systematic thinking and a sense of
professionalisation within the company. It also creates enthusiasm among marketing
executives. This brings success and stability to the whole business unit.
15) Has wider social significance: MR is of paramount importance from the
social angle. It is the means by which the ultimate consumer literally becomes king
of the market place, with his desires, prejudice and every whim transmitted to the
producer and distributor. In brief, MR has wider scope significance. It is useful to
all parties involved in the process of marketing.
43
1) Marketing research offers suggestions and not decisions:- Marketing research is not
substitute for decision making process. It only offers possible suggestion to
marketing problem. It actually acts as a tool which facilitates decision making
process. It guides marketing managers in taking balanced, result oriented and
rational decisions. The suggestions offered by marketing researchers are usually
possible solution but not the exact solution. In fact marketing research by itself is
not an exact science. MR offers predication but they are not necessarily accurate or
perfect. Such predictions should be taken in the right sprit by the management. It
offers information and guidance to marketing manager but not the final decisions
which are to be taken by manager themselves. MR does not provide readymade
solution to marketing problem. It only provides indicators. The effectiveness of MR
depends on the skill of the decision maker. MR aids managerial decision making
but it control replace judgement and experience of marketing managers.
2) Marketing research cannot predict accurately: - In MR, efforts are being made to
estimate or predict the possible future situation. For this, certain research studies are
undertaken. However, the results conclusions arrived at may not be complete,
perfect or accurate. They predict possible tendencies but not certainties. The
decision taken and policies framed on the basis of such research studies may not be
accurate and useful for solving current marketing problems. Marketing research
gives guidance to marketing managers through information and conclusion drawn
but such guidance may not be accurate as it is based on the predictions about future
situation. The guidance offered through activities may prove to be out dated at the
time of taking current marketing decisions.
3) MR conclusions are not dependable:- there are many who are sceptics of MR. their
criticism is that MR conclusions are not dependable. There are examples where the
research failed to deliver desired result or a product failed even when the research
44
had shown promising market demand and consumer support. The classical example
is that coke. Its MR should that 68% customers in US liked the taste of the new
formula developed by the coca-cola corporation. However, the new coke failed and
in less than six months of its launch, the coke management had to relaunch old coke
under the brand name coke classic. However, this failure of MR was mainly due to
conventional approach.
4) Marketing research cannot study all marketing problem:- marketing research is
rather very wide in scope. However, it cannot study all marketing problem
particularly where it is difficult to collect relevant data. Similarly, research study is
not useful for dealing with urgent marketing problem where quick decisions and
follow up actions are necessary. Thus, all marketing problem are not researchable
and all research problem are not answerable. MR fails to offer guidance to manager
while dealing with specific problem. It is also argued that very many times,
marketing research faced by a business unit marketing research tends to be
fragmentary in its approach it become difficult to have an overall perspective in
which a marketing problem is to be viewed and studied.
5) Resistance by marketing executives: researchers study the marketing problems and
offers information and guidance to marketing executives in their decision-making
process. However, some executives are reluctant to use the solutions suggested by
the researchers. They feel that such extensive use will act as a threat to their
personal status. Findings of the research work may bring them in difficulties if the
policy-decisions taken accordingly prove to be wrong. Marketing executives may
also feel that researchers suggest solutions which are academic in character and lack
practical utility. There is absence of meaningful dialogue between the marketing
managers and the marketing research team. Secondly, researchers should try to act
as friend and guide of marketing executives. Conflicts between researchers and
executives are always undesirable but do exist in many companies. It is treated as
one limitation of MR activity.
45
The importance of consumer is now accepted not only MR but also in all aspect of
business management. In fact consumer is the most important person in business. He is
47
the king and should be treated accordingly. All production and marketing activities are
for meeting his needs and also for raising satisfaction and welfare. He is the cause and
purpose of business activities. Finally, modern business is not profit oriented but
consumer-oriented or service-oriented. All these arguments are equally applicable to
MR. in other words, MR activities move around the consumer and his satisfaction.
FIELD INVESTIGATION / SURVEY METHOD
Meaning
The primary data collected are superior to secondary data. Primary data are also
necessary when the secondary data are incomplete. Primary data needed to be collected
from different sources such as survey, observation and experimentation.
The primary data are reliable. However, problem in primary data is its cost, both in
term of money and time required for collection.
a) Mail surveys .
b) Telephone surveys.
c) Personal interview.
d) Consumer panels.
Field investigation is one of the widely used MR methods. Field investigation is important
as they are more accurate and unreliable. Here, direct communication is a established with
the consumers and information is collected by asking relevant question. Naturally the
information collected is accurate, first hand and factual. The conclusion drawn from such
data are more accurate and reliable.

Introduction
The online food delivery market in India registered a growth of 40% reaching Rs 350
crore in 2014. It accounted for 17% of the online services market, according to data
released by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) on Wednesday.

services such as Swiggy which has raised $18.5 million in two rounds during 2015.
Even restaurant discovery portal Zomato, which leveraged its large base of restaurants in
the country, launched its food ordering service ZomatoOrder in April 2015.
Apart from food ordering apps, hyperlocal delivery services such as Roadrunnr -which
attracted an investment of $11 million in June 2015 and Delyver which was acquired
byBigBasket in the same month, have latched onto this growth.
The App-based taxi aggregator market on the other hand grew to Rs 600 crore and made
up 30% of the online services market while online entertainment ticketing made up 49% at
Rs 990 crore.
The grocery delivery segment made up just 6% of the overall online services market, yet
players such as BigBasket and PepperTap raised investments totalling $60 million so far
in 2015.
The IAMAI report added that the online services market in India grew at a CAGR of 73%
since 2010 and was valued at Rs 2,025 crore at the end of December 2014.
50
While growing at a slower pace which could signify maturity, India's e-tailing sector grew
from Rs 2,372 crores in the year 2010 to Rs 24,046 crore by December 2014, over ten
times that of online services.
Food delivery market in India worth over 12.5 billion, online food delivery is contributing
more than 7% to this market. More than 50,000 restaurants in India provides home

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
52
The primary objective is to study, understand and analyze aspects related to various HR
Procedures of Recruitment and Selection at REANDRO India pvt. ltd, Noida. Objective
of the Study :
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The study will be conducted to achieve the aforesaid objectives including both exploratory
and descriptive in nature and involve personal interviews that will be based on the
questionnaire format. A Research Methodology defines the purpose of the research, how it
proceeds, how to measure progress and what constitute success with respect to the
objectives determined for carrying out the research study. There is a unique methodology
that REANDRO adopts to render the service.
The research methodology for the present study has been adopted to reflect these
realties and help reach the logical conclusion in an objective and scientific manner.
TYPE OF RESEARCH
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH
53
A research design is the specification of methods and procedures for acquiring the
information needed to structure or solve the problem. It is the overall operational pattern
or framework of the project that stimulates what information is to be collected from which
source and by what procedure. On the basis of major purpose of our investigation the
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH was found to be most suitable. This kind of research has
the primary objective of development of insights into the problem. It studies the main area
where the problem lies and also tries to evaluate some appropriate courses of action.
DATA COLLECTION
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been identified and the
research design has been chalked out. While deciding the method of data collection to be
used for the study, the researcher should keep in mind two types of data:
a. Primary data
b. Secondary data
In this research project the data being collected is as follows:
Primary Data: The survey method is used to collect the primary data in this research as
it is the Analytical research to find out the shortcomings and area of improvements
according to the skill required for recruitment team. The data that is collected first hand by
someone specifically for the purpose of facilitating the study is known as primary data. So
in this research the data is collected from respondents through QUESTIONNAIRE.
Secondary Data:
The secondary data is also used in a lesser proportion to find out the name and designation
of the employer who are working with this organization and the company profile.
Secondary data refer to information gathered by someone other than the researcher
conducting the current study. Such data can be internal or external to the organization and
accessed through the Internet or perusal of recorded or published information.
Secondary sources of data provide a lot of information for research and problem solving.
Such data are as we have seen mostly qualitative in nature.
(ii). Internet.
(iii). Websites
(vi). Journals
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
SIMPLE SAMPLING
Simple sampling is a sampling process that utilizes some form of random selection. In
probability sampling, each unit is drawn with known probability, or has a nonzero chance
of being selected in the sample. Such samples are usually selected with the help of
random numbers. With probability sampling, a measure of sampling variation can be
55
obtained objectively from the sample itself. Simple Random sampling has been adopted
for this research. Under which we have considered the sampling which has been done for
a specific designated population, because here a small cluster of professionals has been
considered out of the total universe which has been divided in small group like research
team and customers
40 Nos.- Total manpower strength is very huge and I have focused upon 10% of total
employees of REANDRO. (Covering each and every department).
SAMPLE AREA
The sample area refers to the universe to be studied under our research project. The area
denotes the place or the region to be studied and taken into research consideration. Thus,
the sample area chosen for this research project is REANDRO India pvt ltd, SIKANDRA
BODLA AGRA.
DATA ANALYSES
56
The above graph displays a consolidated view of the responses collected from the
questionnaire from various respondents. In a way it highlights the expectation of the
people and to which level it has been met or satisfied by the online food industry giants. It
also answers questions regarding where this industry has reached and which direction it is
going. It describes the scope for improvement as well
57
Most of the people (~80%) do get the correct delivery of food that they had ordered.
However there is a good percentage of people who have a feeling of discontent regarding
it.
This highlights the gap in communication between the online food industry and the
registered restaurants that needs to be looked into. Swiggy has come up with an initiative
in which they do verify the order delivered versus the order placed, this would somewhere
definitely eliminate human error.
58
This is a very genuine problem that people do face while ordering food online. And a huge
number of people agree on having this issue. The food online industry has a small radius
In an area of restaurants from where they can order food online. Many times a user is not
able to order food just a little distant from his house because it doesn‟t fit into the radius of
delivery. This problem needs to be tackled. Swiggy has a better radius of delivery
compared to Food Panda and Tiny Owl
59
Most people are satisfied with the packaging of their order, but it will be good to reach the
excellent mark with more users because packaging adds to the physical evidence of a
service and never fails to impress or leave a bad mark.
Again people are satisfied to a good extent by the options available to them, but the food
online industry should focus on increasing its web around the city to cover in as many
restaurant as possible
60
25% people feel that their mobile app is not very easy to use. This is the technological
aspect and the only channel where the customer interacts with the food online industry. So
it will be advisible to the companies to focus more on it and maeke it even more user
friendly
61
Minimum food order has always been a problem when it comes to ordering online and
people are not really happy with it. Swiggy has removed this constraint from their model
and getting a good response from the market
Nobody like to wait specially when it comes to food. The delivery time experienced by
most of the users is on a higher side. Food industry should be focused on more quicker
deliveries to the customer. Swiggy has come up with a new delivery model which ensures
delivery in 15-20 minutes
62
People have their own reasons of ordering food online, but time saving option tops the
chart, hence again its important for the food to be delivered quickly.
In a city like Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad which is highly IT and
educational insdustry oriented people from various parts of the country come and settle
here for work. Hence having complemetory options of food plates and spoons will be like
a blessing in disguise for them since they are mostly not very much settled with the
crockery at their place
63
Again considering the same cities, students and IT professionals who work late nights do
prefer food at any hour of the day. 24 x 7 delivery will be really helpful in these
circumstances. Also at night the radius of delivery could be increased since traffic is not a
contraint and restaurant that are available 24 x7 can be listed and benifited by this.
Food Online Ordering Startups are struggling for capturing Market Slice and who will be
next Market Leader is a big question in the market
The areas of services where Food Online Ordering Startups facing the Challenges and
required area of improvements:
7) Food Tips:
Include Tips for Menu, Food Ingredients, and Food Appetite. Incorporate Preview Image
for every dish with ingredients details.
9) Discount Offer:
Offer Occasional deals to customers like event based,and make it effortless and
convenient food ordering experience to all users.
66
Reandro is the darkhorse but standing at position 4th in this stiff competition
market Zomato is currently the market leader but Swiggy has come over most of the
problems that people expected in the market and giving a strong challenge to the position
of Food Panda.
Limitations
67
The limitation of this research work is that considering the time constraint and
convenience we did not use any sampling technique. We just collected responses of 30
respondents by emailing them the Questionnaire and then analyzing the responses
Questionnaire was used to collect responses of current online food ordering users.
Questionnaire consisted of closed ended questions focused on understanding consumers
convenience, preferences and expectations..
