INTRODUCTION

A Namkeen is seen in western culture as a type of food that is not meant to be eaten

as part of the main meals of the day (break fast, lunch, and diner). Rather, the food

is intended as a namkeen something to temporarily tide a person’s hunger and

provide a brief supply of energy for the body.

Namkeen are designed to be less perishable, more durable, and more appealing than

natural foods. They often contain substantial amounts of sweeteners, preservatives,

and appealing ingredients such as chocolate, peanuts, and specially designed flavors

(such as flavored potato chips, other namkeen). Foods manufactured primarily as

namkeen are often classified as junk food: they have little or no nutritional value,

and are seen as contributing towards general health and nutrition.

The namkeen Industry in market-driven societies such as the United States

generates billion of dollars in revenue each year. The market for namkeen is

enormous, and a number of large corporations are constantly struggling to capture

larger shares of the namkeen market. Consequently, heavy promotions are used to

convince consumers to buy namkeen. Namkeen are advertised far more than

regular nutritional foods (such as fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy products), and the

flashiest TV commercials and advertising campaigns are often designed to sell

namkeen.

With growing Concerns for nutrition, diet, weight control and general health, some

people are making a conscious effort to eat more healthy, natural snacks such as

fruit (fresh or dried), vegetables (carrot sticks), nuts and cereal grains (granola,

granola bars, rice cakes).

HISTORY OF NAMKEEN

It is believed that the original namkeen recipe was created by George Crum, a chief

at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York on August 24, 1853. He

was fed up with a customer, by some accounts Cornelius Vanderbilt, who continued

to send his fried potatoes back, because they were too thick. Crum decided to slice

the potatoes so thin that couldn’t be eaten with a fork. Against Crum’s expectation

the guest was ecstatic about the chips. They became a regular item on the lodge’s

menu under the name Saratoga chips. They soon became popular throughout New

England.

A mass marketed potato chip could not become popular until the 1920s when the

mechanical potato peeler was invented. This product was developed by Herman

lay, a traveling salesman in the Southern United States.

A potato chip is one of the types of namkeens. The potatoes are cut into very thin

slices and deep fried (and recently, backed) until crisp and then cooled and

packaged for sale. The simplest chips are just fried and salted, but a wide variety of

seasonings (mostly made using MSG and a few herbs/spices) are used to [product

various ‘seasoned’ chips. Potatoes chips generate a sizable amount of revenue in the

American namkeen industry, with hundred of millions of dollar worth of the food

being sold every year.

Another type of potato chip, notably the Pringle’s brand, is made by pressing dough

made from ground potatoes into the familiar [potato chip shape before frying. This

makes chips that are very uniform in size and shape, which allows them to be

stacked and packaged in rigid tubes. The success of potato chips also gave birth to

fried corn chips, with such brands as Fritos, CCs and Doritos dominating the

market.

Page 3: Basic Chart

In British usage, where these are called “crisps”, the term “chips” refers to what

Americans call French fries. In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, both

forms of potato product are simply known as “chips”, as are the larger “home-style”

potato chips. Kumara chips are eaten in New Zealand.

History of Samrat Namkeen

Two decades of delicious business

The story of Samrat Namkeen is sweet and simple. It began as a small homemade

eatables unit at Swaminarayan Temple, Narayan Ghat, Ahmedabad, and Gujarat,

India in 1979. The tastes were irresistible, the products are fresh, and the packing is

hygienic. Customers responded enthusiastically. And in the following years, the

company evolved continuously, dictated by customer demands and the market

trends. Today, Samrat is a snack foods conglomerate that manufactures 24 popular

products. These products reach taste-lovers in every nook and corner of Gujarat.

They are also exported quite successfully.

Today, Samrat is quoted as one of Gujarat’s most inspiring scratch-to-riches. Not

really surprising, as there was no way such good taste could lose. Mr. Jayshanker’

s. vaid was young, and his mind was brimming with ideas of enterprise. Through

the week, he scouts around for an entrepreneurial break. He visited and studied

various industries weigh pros and cons. On weekends, Jayshankar indulge in what

most of his friends though was an unusual hobby—making Namkeens. On those

days, he had turned his kitchen into a virtual R&D lab for his experiments in

Namkeens. Later, he would relish these with his family and friends.

Then one day, in a moment dictated by destiny, the thought struck him; why not

turn the hobby into a business? After all, everyone likes to eat good things. Thus

began Jayshankar’s life as a Namkeen manufacturer. He was a modest man, but

named his product ‘samrat’, meaning ‘King / Emperor’, because he was confident

Page 5: Basic Chart

of its taste value. He himself prepared the Namkeens packs them and to homes

nearby.

Today, his employees more than 210 people and more than 23 sumptuous food

items are marketed under the Samrat brand. Today, he has taste experts, foods

scientists, veterans, and a network of marketing channels, to take the samrat brand

far and wide. But there is one aspect of his business that he still directly controls—

QUALITY. And this is the reason why Samrat products still retain their home-like

crunchy taste and freshness. And this is the reason of Jayshankar S. Vaid’s success.

Mr. Meghjibhai, Mr. Bhikhubhai, Mr. Chandubhai and Mr. Kanubhai the

member of their family. The initial business was started in a canteen of Astron

Talkies. Then it acquired a small place with very limited investment with

indigenous frying method. Thereafter, a semi-automatic plant was established with

production capacity of 200 kg. Per hour.

Finally, a fully automated plant, the first of its kind in Gujarat, was established to

offer excellent food products to food lovers of Gujarat.

The primary data are those, which are collected for first time as fresh data and

which happen to be an original in characteristics. This can be done by either

surveying or by interviewing people and collecting the data. These types of data are

more confidential and Chances of error are minimized. The project survey was

conducted by interviewing the students of our university, which served us as

primary data source.

Secondary Data

Secondary data are those, which are already been collected by somebody else and

already passed through statistical process. Secondary data provides a starting point

to research and offer the advantage of low cost and easy availability.

Various books, magazines, Internet, articles and periodicals were studied to carry

RESEARCH APPROACH

The research approach adopted in the study is Descriptive. Here we tried to find out

the relationship between the variables in the study and their level of effectiveness to

fulfill our objective. We selected interview and survey method among descriptive

approach to fill the research instrument i.e. Questionnaire.

There are various reasons that can prove the adopted method superior to that of

others. Interview can obtain information that can be covered in questionnaire.

Through interview the mental reservation of the respondents, can be nullified. We

did not select the exploratory approach to find out the in depth relationship among

the variables involved in the study and the contrary exploratory approach is used to

know which variables are relevant and which are irrelevant for the customer.

FINDINGS

1) Our analysis shows that 54% of consumers prefer Samrat Namkeen over Balaji.

2) Our survey shows that Samrat has the highest selling in Shing Bhujia and Sev and Balaji has

the highest selling in Potato Wafers.

3) Our survey depicts that Samrat is loosing its market in Potato Wafers because of poor packing

4) As per our survey both the Samrat and Balaji in their special varieties (like Shing Bhujia of

Samrat and Potato Wafers of Balaji) have got higher rate in consumers mind.

5) From our survey we have found that people generally spend Rs. 50-100 in a month on

Namkeens. The maximum consumption of Namkeens is between the Age-Group of 15-25.

Limitations of the Project:-

Page 48: Basic Chart

No survey can be conducted before finding out the limitations that may be naturally

imposed on it and this factor is no stronger to our survey. Following are the limitations we

faced during our project.

1) The bindings and the suggestions made in this project report are based on the consumer survey.

The limitation of the survey may affect the bindings of the report.

2) The survey is limited mainly to Ganapat University with a sample size of 100 respondents

only. This does not represent the true census.

3) The information filled in the questionnaire by the respondents may be biased.

4) Another problem that we have faced is the poor response of some consumers.

LEARNINGS

Page 49: Basic Chart

This study gave us a systematic way of going through a survey. We put to use the

theoretical concept in practical scenario. And studied the relevance of he same.

We had to meet people with different attitudes, thus we learnt the skill of dealing with

them and getting our work done.

At times we were strangled in the situation as to what next phase. This led us to many

heated discussion which helped us all to adjust to the situation and find an appropriate

solution through mutual understandings.

We also came to know the operation of the food package industries..

We also learnt how to work in team and co-ordinate each other.
