STRATEGIC ALLIANCE
COTY + ADIDAS + CAVINKARE
Mr.C.K. Ranganathan’s view
 CavinKare mainly addresses the mass market. The strategic alliance
will helps to get into the premium segment, where CavinKare did
not have presence.
 In light of this alliance, the Indian market will also take part in
global product launching in the future.
 The Indian deodorant and fine fragrance market is vastly untapped.
With this alliance, CavinKare hopes to unlock the potential of the
Indian fragrance market with a strong lifestyle brand like adidas.
 CavinKare, has over the last 25 years, gained a very good
understanding of the Indian consumer and has established a strong
distribution network, both of which will help in this endeavor.
 Mr. Ramesh Viswanathan’s view
 Estimates 40 per cent growth year-on-year, the Rs. 500-crore fragrances
and perfumes market and expects to garner at least 10 per cent share of that
market in the first year.
 The range is to be sold through about 50,000 outlets in the first year,
mainly at modern and large-format stores.
 The men’s deo body sprays and fragrance market is one of the largest and
fastest growing segments in India.
 Priced slightly above that of the current market leader, Axe, the Adidas
range of products will initially be made available in over 50,000 stores
across the country.
 With an ad budget of Rs.10crore, the company initiates campaigns on the
internet, television to increase the brand visibility. This is supported by a
lot of below-the-line marketing activities.
Mr. Venkatesh Babu’s view
 There is a huge potential in the personal care segment
in Asia. The alliance will help in increasing the
accessibility of Adidas products in India, which is a
fundamental part of Coty’s Asian strategy.
 As the license partner, Coty Inc. will be assisting
CavinKare to build up the market for adidas personal
care.
 Coty Inc., known for its astute acquisitions and
licensing partnerships, is the global leader in
fragrances. Using this strategy Coty can further expand
its territory.
Strategy benefits
 Coty has built a unique portfolio of brands that have produced
some of the strongest consumer franchises in history.
 Expertise CavinKare in developing brands in the personal
care space and in extensive distribution network will come in
handy.
 CK has plans to cut prices of its personal care products at
around 5% anticipating acute competition in the market.
"Competition will drive prices down. By the end of the year,
prices could be lower by as much as 15 per cent. This will help
people to consume the products in India economically.
 This will build CK to introduce customized fragrances by
setting up a manufacturing facility.
CONCLUSION
 This type of tie-up is more useful to both the companies in
development.
 Because of this, the men’s deo body sprays and fragrance market
will become one of the largest and fastest growing segments in
India.
 This will help to overcome the rivalry companies in marketing.
 Mainly this type of tie-up is used between international companies
and local companies, for the entry of their market in vice versa
location.
 Local company uses the brand name of International company for its
global development and helps International company for
distribution over that area.
 This is the first time the Indian company is distributing other brands,
this will show the way to other companies.
