Some of my conclusions is are follows-

After studied the topic “Market analysis on Godrej Security products (Physical) & Competition Analysis” in Jaipur & Udaipur Territories, I found that as every where a coin has two faces head and tail same thing also lies here some customers are price conscious and some of the customers are brand conscious.
Most interesting there are lots of customers who are not aware about that Godrej is also producing safes and E security equipments, they having mind makeup that Godrej only produce wardrobes, those consumers are totally depends upon the local brand.I found that lot of the customer are ready to switch over on Godrej security equipments due to its brand name.On the basis of my 60 days study and field-work I have conclude some points regarding godrej security products and its services.


1) In my study I found that local brands are taking lead in physical and as well as electronic securities so Godrej should use flankers (Low price qualitative products) to overcome this situation.

2) Some jewellers says that they are not aware about English so Godrej should have to publish the some other language leaflets like Hindi.

3) When we deal with B2B & B2G then there is no need of advertisement, but apart from Government segment for awareness ad is mandatory because Godrej should needed to break their image in local/conservative market as Almirah/wardrobe producing company.

4) Jewellers are our prime segment so we have to access it in very deep way, apart of jewel showrooms we have to cover all “Gaddies” (whole sale bullion market place) like Ratna Sagar Joahari bazaar Jaipur.

5) After 60days accessing in the jewel market I get information that some of local safe manufacturer using a specific powder to made the safe fire proof, Godrej should start campaign against them because there is a vast different in between Godrej fire resistance technology and local one.

6) During the approach in Hotel segment I get information that local security manufacturer has under table pact with the leader of Hotel union association in Jaipur, these members recommends to their of members for local securities, Godrej should also made this type of pact because Hotel association has approximately 300 potential members.

7) As we know every quotation has limited expiry date, so we should file quotation for relevant point of time. In the quotation some of bankers ask that why Godrej shown excise duty, because its create confusion for bankers because some time one dealers shown it and some time another dealer hide it, that problem should solve on level of Godrej regional office.

8) I have seen at some local safes in jeweller’s show rooms these are enriched with Subh Lakshmi & lord Ganesha creation, after quarried we know these safes are locally manufacturer and purchased at Dipawali time, Godrej should has produces some such seasonal safes (limited quantity) because mostly jewellers purchase their safes at Deepawali time, we should use these religious stimulus.

9) During the survey I got the demand of metal purity sensor and ornament theft resistance sensor, so I would like to suggest to the company provide these type of security solution.


10) Show case are the back bone of jewelry business but they create burglary/theft threat for owners, Godrej should made high quality glass showcase that totally resolve this problem.

11) In the 60 days training in Jaipur & Udaipur I found that Godrej Electronic product has demanded more pre time services, and simultaneously its affect the physical security also, for that particular issue Godrej should organize free service camp at dealer and distributor point for the recovery of consumer because Now a days competition is not on the basis of product but it is on the basis of services.

12) There is no glossing board or plotter for security equipment division I found only Godrej interio plotter and board at dealers & Distributers point, security is another division so it should not cover/hide under the interio division.

13) For the small safes like Taurus & E-Bio/Swipe Godrej should contact with current A/C holders because they are using more liquid transaction rather than others.

14) Godrej should provided Fake Note Detector (FND) with RBI fake note guide line because there are very thin line in between Fake note and Genuine Note. And consumer can better utilize the FND machine.

15) Godrej should provide demo security product on dealers and distributer points like car manufacturer, because when the product is out of stock then dealers and distributor can not show the demo & deal may be postpone or seize.

16) Godrej should promote their product Unique Selling Preposition (USP) like Guardian lock is having 2 keys, underwriter laboratory certification, 9 time comical tested metals, TR & TL feature, 1080 Centigrade Fire Resistance like unique feature. Because local market has tremendously influence about these factor.

17) In the mostly firms like Reliance, western union money transfer extension branches are not able to make a deal these firm always follows the RO (Regional offices) or HO (head Office) guide line. So Godrej should contact for pact with these type of firms RO & HO.

18) In our physical security leaflet there are some blunders like wireless alarm system, Vinod Door phones and others technical descriptions, it should not carried out for a long time.

19) In every month there are over 4 dozen queries about Locker Break Open Godrej should made a another division for that, because some break open has taken a long period of time.

20) Godrej sales people should use on line trade directories for virtual deals like www.tradeindia.com, www.indiamart.com, www.alibaba.com.

21) Now a day some dealer are facing service problem of Godrej & brother tie-up product like printer and fax machine, after breakup no one is responsible for these product services. Somewhere its spoil the Godrej image.

22) Some local companies are offering lucrative deal to Godrej dealer like Danial furniture Pvt Ltd. (Local Jodhpur Company) so Godrej should aware about these firms offers because these firms may divert their dealers.

23) There are some products which are marketing by Godrej, but on these product there is no logo of Godrej Like (CCM) Currency Counting Machine, in this way consumer are quit confuse that it is parented by Godrej or not, not yet in a recent case 10 Safire safe also delivered to R.M.M. Pvt Ltd. Udaipur (in the month of June 09) was also out of Logo, brand association is the key of success Godrej Should not Ignore this.

24) During the survey I got the demand from users & non users of Godrej safes, that they want enriched their safes with Electronic lock and Biometric lock, So I would like to suggest to the company provide these type of security solution.

25) Godrej is suffering from brand imitation strategy by local marketers because they produce their products near by Godrej name like- Gordej, Goderj & Godreg, to be unaffected Godrej should campaign the brand name as well as brand logo awareness, because people easily come under the bluff of these imitations.

Suggestion regarding lacking: some suggestion are as follows - Cross river Mall has a great ambiance and food range so it should be maximum utilize not optimum, Front should be well furnished, because first impression is the last one, Conveyance is not so easy available to the mall so parking charges should be reduced for public, There is a demand of good retail chain like Big bazaar, that increase the crowd of mall, Close shops(offer seeking) are not a wise decision shop can be converted in to “Meena bazaar” like EDM mall (local bazaar = local price ) ,Mall should be issue some discount card worth rupees 200,500 and 1000 for shopping discount, parking and free entertainment facility like Metro-walk mall west Delhi, In the Mall(at campus)a lot of beggar are moving that disturbed the gentry of the Mall, it should be resolved, Mall should be start awareness campaign in near by local area to divert the consumer towards cross river mall, Management body of this mall is not so interested in consumer feedback programs (as we people talked to marketing head of Mall Mr. Pradeep Verma), they should have keen about it & Mall should be conducted events conditionally and occasionally

Note: This observation is done in a very small span of time so it accuracy can be differ in real scenario, This is the combine study of me and my friends Nitesh Bhatia, Devender Pal, Vandana, Ruchi, Swati & Ashish Mall.

TATA-DOCOMO's ultimate jingle

TATA-DOCOMO that’s the venture of two major players in the world I am not going to define what the venture is all about but the one thing is striking in my mind after listen the DOCOMO jingle. I compare this with Reliance & Airte these two are quite same. But the DOCOMO jingle is beyond the music appeal because this is not having only melodious instrument beat but along with no of repeat chorus voice over do do do do do do do and then dow dow dow dow mo dow dow mo docomo docomo … so on.

Have you considered any time why a lot of time DOCOMO…. Because.. If we move around the whole ad then we easily find DOCOMO is the new name and quite complicated to as a name to direct focus in mass market; even Indians having late adoptability of new names; in this way company start its campaign with the repetition of DOCOMO in entire advertisement.

If we see in real practice what is DOCOMO means? It can be describe as “do communications over the mobile network”. While in Japan its means "anywhere". But in Indian context this is not easy to converse these above means as mass is having late perception power here, so repetition is the best way to the positioning in consumer mind.
I really appreciate the communication strategy of TATA-DOCOMO. This is the right way to pitch consumer. This DOCOMO is not only the words but this going to be an association with mass.

I have taken some of views of young management guys:

Fareed khan (PGDM IPM Ghaziabad)- DOCOMO is really typical new name for Indian audience, I am quite convincing with their strategy. But I think this jingle will change soon after getting base of awareness.

Kamran (MBA professional NCR) - I am not confirm that what feedback is DOCOMO getting after its campaign but I can say it has some base to stay in market.

Abdur Rehman (management Student In NCR)- I know TATA’s venture never fail this is the big one, they are covering the entire market with their pull and push strategies. They will get positive result before long. I really love DOCOMO jingle.

Note: I have collect this views through direct contact these all are natural bites.

Salman khan is really going to be more mature

In recent movies London dream & Wanted Salman khan perform as never before. In both films the box office equation is really contrast but in acting point of view both are mind blowing. Specially in the presence of Ajay Devgan; Salman first time lead with his acting not by his look.

Salman is as going old as going more mature in his acting. Before some time Youths like his look now they stunned by his acting, now the Salman is equally considered to SRK, Amir & Ajay in terms of acting.

Most of time people have mind set that Salman is not enough mature in his character performance. He measure on the behalf of his funny character like a college guy in “Pyra kiya to darna kya” a brother in law in “Bhandhan” a play boy in “jab Pyar kisis se hota hai” a love guru in “partner” a tapori in “Andaz apna apna” etc.

Things are not as usual as before Salman is now a face of Hunk, a face of personality, a face of acting and moreover a face who is achieved break even of hit movies. People are ready to accept him now in new Avatar – A perfect mature actor.
In his forthcoming movies Dabang, Veer & Ramayana he will open his god gifted packet as he open never before. Let’s see what happen. All the very best Salman Khan for your outstanding Social campaign through “Being Human” organization

Concept of “Salman Bhai” & “Rahul Bhai” is really works in India

In the recent election congress and alliance has chased their entire opponent. How and why?... These are two words now moves around us. Answers may be political situation, reliability of candidates and positive equation towards cast & religion etc.

There is another thing occurred in this decades elections; it is nothing but youth participation in public election. Now the youth are in key position with respect to political outcome. Today’s youth are sincere enough to take own decision for nation.
One side where the youth icon” Rahul Ghandhi” has changed all equation of opponents by own ultimate convincing approach; While another side a ballistic celebrity”Salman Khan” endorsement has made a wave (Chunavi Lahar) in the support of Congress in various place of election.

If we talk about association the Salman khan is the single celebrity in Indian Bollywood history that is discussed in most of the place across the India (especially in late comer state) as “Salman Bhai”. The world “Bhai” is itself say a lot what effect can it put in election kind of things. As of political buff evaluation Salman Khan is the magic man for political game now.

According to political out put he is truly better with 80% positive out come. Salman Bhai is that stimulus which may not as much affect to the some of people In metro cities, but “Bhai association” exactly work on the people from Shikohabad,Faizabad,Unnao,Kanpur,Sultanpur, Amethi and Chapra or Bhagalpur.
Now a days the association of “Bhai” world is actually adjoin to “Rahul Gandhi” also. During his visit in Amethi Loksabha area people addressed Rahul as “Rahul Bhaiyya” and some of youth specially communicate him as “Rahul Bhai”.

We can say the word “Bhai” is really works for Indian people. This association now plays a bigger role in politics other than untouchable issues. We know the people are mad to get glimpses of Superstar Salman Khan during the campaign, but this may not be a reason to support to candidate. Until unless the association of “Bhai” not rose; this is the pure reason because up to that extant the “Bhai” works no funda can. This is the reason why other celebrities were failing during their campaign.

MNS & Constitution Of India (MNS Activities are Anti social )

MNS Activities are Anti social .......

I am not talking about so far In the recent case.. MNS activist shown that what they can do for their worthless mentality.
Now these people says whole controversy started because of one person - Abu Asim Azmi. It was not their intention to lower the dignity of the House.According to constitutional experts, the suspension of MLAs can be revoked if MNS tenders an unconditional apology to the House.
But question is that this is the solution of these "sena people" those are against our constitution. i think no not at all.
On this particular controversy i have collected some of thoughts from various place & source that are as follows-

Vinay chaubey(software professional Delhi) : i think MNS should be legally regulate now.if i talk about Hindi, is equal to all language or far ahead MNS mentality.

Arshad Iqbal (software professional Delhi) :really very sad news what ever happen in Maharasrta assembly, I am waiting for Govt reaction on these responsible people, it may be a great lesson for MNS.

Sandeep srivastava (SEO manager): I belongs to Sitapur now i am working in Delhi, what the hell these MNS people did, this is the insult of our culture, it should not be regret @ any cost.

Prabhakar Srivastava (software professional Delhi): MNS is behaving like uncivilised, my suggestion is to them, They please visit whole india to learn our culture & Constitution.

Vaibhav bhandari (said in a blog)... Where is Raj Thaclarey? And where is his gang? Tell them that 200 NSG commandos from Delhi (all North Indians) being sent to fight the terrorists in Mumbai, so that he and his gang can sleep tension free. And where is Raj and his gang in driving these non-maharashtrians, non-Indians (the terrorists) out of Mumbai? Where is the courage gone now. Is this courage only for innocent and simple people?Raj is a hollow person from inside. He should shame on himself.

Asif iqbal - We are not against MNS but against all whom are against our country "jai hind"-

What will happen on December 21, 2012?

i have heard a lot regarding "December 21, 2012" ..What will happen on that day.
some where (in a reputed website) i read that ......According to scientists and technologists something strange is happening behind the scene. The terrestrial and solar polar reversal peaks are coming within three weeks of that day, December 21, 2012. Innumerable UFOs are scouting our skies regularly and increasing as we approach that day. The tectonic plate shifts, underwater volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides and Tsunamis are increasing at rates never seen before. The solar flares are increasing. The earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere are experiencing strange disturbances. The numbers of typhoons and cyclones have increased many folds. The number of floods and droughts has increased beyond imaginations in the last ten years.
The biggest clue to what will happen comes from astrophysicists. There is a big possibility that the simultaneous polar reversal in earth and sun will throw the solar system out of whack. That will cause massive upheaval in the earth. At that point of time, the extraterrestrials will officially show up and put “cosmic seat belts” around us as they apply the superpower of the Hyperspace to bring the solar system back to what it is today.
but that is all about rubbish because no one can claim thai it will @ 21st of Dec 2012, why not one day ahead and before. i believe on Allah in this way i can say it is all about mis conception, it is not going to realize. but one thing i want tell you all we have to think about our earth, why we destroy its nature & cycle.
forward all information regarding 2012 @

My PGDM day's @ IPM Ghaziabad

This is very enthusiastic to tell about my PGDM day's @ IPM (2008-2010) Ghaziabad. I was different when i came here but i was different when i exit from here. The major differentiation what i feel occur during my PGDM that was my attitude & commitment towards my studies & work.

i am very happy that i performed what exactly i want. there are some names i want to mentioned that made all the changes in my attitude & over all personality.

1. Rana Ma'am: She was the single person ever i have seen in my life; who behave like real teacher during my whole life. (what ever i will achieve in my professional life only credit goes to her, she always be in my dua )

2.Prof V P Mishra: A one man army, he was the real motivator for my life. the word commitment i heard from various people mouth but execution never seen as he made. whatever i develop management sense that all cause of him. (I never forget him, he will be a part of my auto biography )

3. Huma Ma'am: Every time people actions and words justify that what he/she stand for, same happen with this respective personality of my life. Huma ma'am was on of the silent mentor of my PGDM education. i was not lucky because i got a chance only in 1st semester to face her as a mentor. why i am using mentor word for ma'am because whatever she deliver...was hundred percent understandable. (I really respect you ma'am cause of your qualities and abilities)

4. Monika bansal: She was the youngest faculty of our college, she was very kind hearted . once i know today is her birthday. i was surprised because it was the day when she arrange a CSR activity, i was having namaz that day so i couldn't join that CSR activity but at the evening i realize that "Her birth day was totally dedicated to social activity". humanity always alive around us but we have to find it by real eyes. (In future i always keep this learning with myself)

5. my friends- Devender Pal, jayant Srivastava, nitesh bhatia, deepak JS, Swati & Sunita, mitali, Abhay, Aditya gautam, Amrita singh, Akansha sharma, kittu Sangita, Sunil kr, Vivek jha, chetan, prateek, sarfaraz & Pratyush kukreja uncle.
