3 c success of amul
COMPANY:
✔Largest milk brand in Asia. It is no. 1 in Asia and no. 2 in the
world
✔
More than 30 dairy brands
✔Market leader in ghee and butter with 85% market share
✔Very strong supply chain
✔Enjoys fine reputation. Though the company has grown so big, it
never left its key players- the milk suppliers
✔Quality with affordability

COMPETITOR:
✔Amul has to defend against Mahananda, Vijaya, Milma, and
other cooperative milk brands
✔Aggressive moves against Britannia, Nestle, Mother Dairy,
Kwality
✔Amul has a competitive sustainable advantage. This lies in the
procurement part. Its ability to collect 7 million liters of milk from
2.6 million farmers and onvert it into Rs. 6 crore worth products
and distribute them to 5 lakhs retailers is a tough job.
✔Intelligent marketing

Segmentation
 Segmentation is not so easy because of mixed audience and
various culinary applications of Amul products. Nevertheless, we
may do segmentation based on:

Consumer type:

For Kids- Amul kool, Amul chocolates, Nutramul, etc

For Women-Amul Calci +
For Youth-Utterly delicious pizza, cheese variants etc
For the calorie conciuos-Amul lite, Amul lite slim trim milk etc
For health conscious-Nutramul, Amul shakti etc

Industry type:

Milk- Ice cream manufacturer, restaurants, coffee shops

etcButter/Cheese/Ghee-Bakery, pizza retailers, snack retailers

Targeting

After segmentation, one has to decide where to find this market

segment and what should be the size of this segment. Example,
Amul has identified youth as one of its potential segments. Now it
has to decide where to find youth who will actually go get their
product and the number of youth that the company, i.e., Amul
requires. Amul has come up with Amul parlours for this reason

Positioning
✔A mass market player, no premium offerings
✔USP – Quality with affordability
✔“Amul” as “Taste of India” - creating value for everyone in the
value chain, both customers and farmers.
✔New offerings for health conscious and vibrant India in the form
of Probiotic wellness ice-cream, sugar free delights for the diabetic
patients and Amul kool café for the youth of today

PROMOTION
One of the most conservative FMCG entities — GCMMF —
spends a mere 1% of its turnover on promotions. Amul has written
and re- written the rules of the game. Amul butter girl is one of the
longest run ad campaigns in the country for 43 years!!

SET SOME ADD

The reason Amul topicals are so successful because, it doesn’t

plead the customer to go buy Amul intantly. Instead, Amul
captures latest news headlines and showcases them in such a way
that the moment we see it, we register it n our brains. The basic
aim here is to make butter synonymous to Amul. Next time we go
to buy butter, the first brand that will come to the mind is Amul.
Amul uses rotational promotion strategy to be in touch with
customers/ consumers throughout. After every 3-4 years, Amul
comes up with something new and a promotional campaign for the
same is placed

➢Amul Ice-cream 1996

➢ Category re-visited in 1999, in order to improve availability of
the product and make it affordable
➢ Amul Cheese in 2001
➢ Amul Masti Chaas in 2004-05
➢ Nutramul and Kool Kafe in 2006
➢ Amul Koko — cold chocolate drink in 2009

Amul promotes itself by conducting various contests such as:

•Chef of the year- in this, the participants are required to use as

many Amul products as possible
•Amul Maharani of the year – in this, the participants are required
to fill up questionnaires and then there is a lucky draw.

Add some

Amul promotes itself by sponsoring various movies, and tv shows.

For example

Add some

Sardar
Amul master chef
Amul voice of India etc

Amul publishes some books periodically. Basically they are related

to Amul or dairy industry as such

Amul also gives away academic excellence awards for school

children every year. They are called Vidya Shree – for 10
thstd and Vidya Bhushan – for 12 th std students
PLACE:-

Amul’s success today is partly because of its strong supply chain

design. Below is the schematic diagram of Amul’s supply chain

DIO GRAMME FROM RED DIARY

Amul has franchisee plans in regards of the Amul parlours. This

might start pretty soon, since the talk are almost at the end.Now,
going back to the supply chain of Amul, Amul has gone the e-
commerce way. The 1st initiatives taken for an ERP system was in
’94. Tata Consultancy Services was hired to guide in its
implementation. The implementation project was named as
Enterprise- wise Integrated Application System (EIAS).
Automatic Milk Collection System units (AMCUS)
at village societiewere installed in the first phase to automate milk
producers logistics. Amul also connected its zonal offices, regional
offices and member’s dairies through
VSATs for seamless exchange of information. Amul is also using
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

for business planning and optimization of collection processes.

Indian Institute of Management – Ahmedabad supplemented
Amul’s IT strategy by providing an application software – Dairy
Information System Kiosk(DISK) to facilitate data analysis and
decision support in improving milk collection. There are plans to
introduce features like Internet banking services and ATMs which
will enable the milk societies to credit payments directly to the
seller’s bank account. Distributors can place their orders on the
website www.amul2b.comespecially meant for accepting orders
from stockists and promoting Amul’s products via e-commerce

by 11 union members and wholesale dealers. Requirement of
working capital in winter season is much higher and availability of
fund is lesser. To meet with this working capital requirement,
AMUL has got certain provision and short – term investments.
From the monthly sale, GCMMF gives returns to AMUL from
which it covers up its short – term expenses

CONCLUSION
WEAKNESSESS AND THREATS
Every entity in the world will have its weaknesses and will face
some or the other threat. The following are the weaknesses and
threats associated with Amul brand:
•Less control over milch yield
•Cannot accommodate transport delays (perishables)
•Dependence on poor infrastructure for supply (roads, electricity
etc)
•Increasing population , increasing requirement
•Adulteration
•Saturation point not far away

•Unorganized players
•Other dairy co-operative societies
•Competitors are companies, not bound by inherent obligations of
co-operatives

 Amul goes global

in spite of the above mentioned, Amul has been doing

exceptionally well in abroad too. The following are some facts:
•
U.S.A, Nepal, South Africa, Kenya, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Thailand,
Australia, and Gulf countries etc
•
Prospective markets- Russia, UAE, Japan, Sri Lanka
•
Agreement with Wal-mart : Wal-mart agreed to sell Amul products
on its shelves under brand Amul itself.
•
Agreement with Glaxo : Glaxo and Amul will get together to
produce baby food
•
Amul’s growth rate in international market : ~34%

 THE WAY AHEAD

•
Product improvisation -Amul basundi, gulab jamun, chocolates
etc., since they are not as popular as Amul butter or Amul ice
cream. There is a need to understand the cause through proper
MR.
•
Amul horadings are successful. But there is a need to advertise
by Cable channels, newspapers etc. to reach the rural areas etc
•
For a company where perishability of its products is very high,
strengthening of liquidity and working capital is a must

•Supply chain add-ons must be further strengthened

•Venture into processed fruits and vegetables, because the same

Anand pattern can be followed here, so strategizing won’t take
much of a time. And moreover, they give higher margins
•Try nullifying threats and weaknesses
