CHAPTER - I
COMPANY PROFILE
Rohit Surfactants Private Limited (RSPL)
Rohit Surfactants Private Limited, a flagship company of RSPL Group, owner of
Trademark “GHARI”, was incorporated on 22nd June 1988 with the name Shri Mahadoe
Soap Industries Private Limited and the name was changed to its present name with
effect from 17th June 2005.
The group has under gone another major restructuring in the year 2008. The said
restructuring has enabled the group to consolidate the detergent and leather business,
alongwith all related brands into one single entity and separating the real estate business
into another entity.
Historical Background:
Late Dayal Das with his sons Shri Murli Dhar Ji and Shri Bimal Kumar Ji initiated the
group as a small family business. It is said that knowledge and expertise comes from
experience. It was their efforts and dedication that laid the foundation on which the empire
of RSPL group has been build up within a span of three decades.
Group comprises of companies mentioned under:-
1) Rohit Surfactants Private Limited -Company does the manufacturing and marketing of
detergents, toilet soaps, leather & footwear, wind energy and other FMCG products.
5
2) Nimmi Build Tech Private Limited (formerly known as Poonam Developers &
Infrastructure India Private Limited) - This company is involved in the business of
construction and real estate.
3) Namaste India Foods Private Limited – This is the latest venture of the group into the
dairy business. The Company has set up number of milk collection centers at Shivrajpur,
Kanpur for collection of milk from villagers.
All the Companies are under the supervision and control of the single management
thereby making its recognition as the “RSPL GROUP”.
Company overview by Business Standard (13 th August 2010)
Kanpur-based detergent firm, Rohit Surfactants Private Limited (RSPL) which owns the
flagship brand, Ghari, is all set to reinforce its FMCG presence by foraying into Rs 85,000
crore homecare segment from its present interest in cluttered washing soap section.
The company has commenced production at its new manufacturing facility in Haridwar
with a production capacity of 123 tonnes/day to meet its requirements in the new
fragment. The plant will manufacture homecare and cosmetic products market with a
range of shampoos, facial and shaving creams, toilet cleaners, floor cleaners, hair oil etc.
According to group corporate affairs president, S K Bajpai, the detergent and fabric wash
segment in the country is characterised by low per capita consumption, especially in the
rural markets. “To further enhance our portfolio and market penetration, we will have a
slew of homecare consumer products including low-cost options for consumers,” Bajpai
told Business Standard.
He said that the launch initiative was buoyed by the fact that the group had outdone all its
local competitors in the markets of Uttar Pradesh excluding the National Capital Region
6
(NCR). “We already have a strong dealer and marketing network across the country and
are among the leading groups in the north Indian market, which will be a great advantage
for us,” said Bajpai.
When asked about the stiff competition from other market biggies like Marico and
Cavincare, Bajpai said the company would continue to invest in the traditional mom-and-
pop stores but sharing shelf space with bigger brands would provide an easy avenue of
cannibalising into others’ share.
“Modern trade has helped us in sharing shelf space with bigger brands and beat them in
securing place in the consumer’s basket. We have strong brand presence in our niche
markets where we will target our consumers initially,” he said. He said the decision to
foray into broader FMCG space was taken last year after due market research conducted
by reputed consultants.
“Contrary to popular notion, the reports reflected a lack of cost-effective options in
homecare segment for consumers in interior U P and parts of M P and Bihar. We have
decided to launch our entry from these markets as we also have advantage of strong
dealer network and brand presence here,” he added.
Asked if the company was planning to introduce more products in the segment, he said it
would first look at increasing market share of the existing products before planning
additional products.
“In this category, establishing a brand is a pricey proposition. One has to spend money on
mass advertising and image building. Establishing a brand well is as important as pricing
in this segment,” he added.
7
He, however, added that R&D efforts were on to improve formulation and the relaunch of
the new versions might take place in the next six months or so.
The company has four prevailing detergent brands — Ghari powder and cakes, Xpert- the
dishwasher, MR2- the premium category detergent powder and Venus toilet soaps.
The group has recently relaunched its existing toilet soap brand, Venus backed with an
aggressive marketing and advertising campaign apart from attractive sops to distributors.
The soap will now be available in three variants targeting the middle class users, which
form the lion’s share of the company’s consumers.

CHAPTER – II
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Detergent is a material intended to assist cleaning. The term is sometimes used to differentiate between soap and
other surfactants used for cleaning. As an adjective pertaining to a substance, it (or "detersive") means "cleaning"
or "having cleaning properties"; "detergency" indicates presence or degree of cleaning property.
The term detergent by itself is sometimes used to refer specifically to clothing detergent, as opposed to
hand soap or other types of cleaning agents.
Plain water, if used for cleaning, is a detergent. Probably the most widely used detergents other than
water are soaps or mixtures composed chiefly of soaps. However, not all soaps have significant detergency
and, although the words "detergent" and "soap" are sometimes used interchangeably, not every detergent
is a soap. The term detergent is sometimes used to refer to any surfactant, even when it is not used for
cleaning. This terminology should be avoided as long as the term surfactant itself is available.
Component
Detergents, especially those made for use with water, often include different components such as:
Surfactants to 'cut' (Emulsify) grease and to wet surfaces
Abrasive to scour
Substances to modify pH or to affect performance or stability of other ingredients, acids for descaling or
caustics to break down organic compounds
Water softeners to counteract the effect of "hardness" ions on other ingredients
oxidants (oxidizers) for bleaching, disinfection, and breaking down organic compounds
Non-surfactant materials that keep dirt in suspension
Enzymes to digest proteins, fats, or carbohydrates in stains or to modifyfabric feel
Ingredients that modify the foaming properties of the cleaning surfactants, to either stabilize or counteract
foam
Ingredients to increase or decrease the viscosity of the solution, or to keep other ingredients in solution, in
a detergent supplied as a water solution or gel
Ingredients that affect aesthetic properties of the item to be cleaned, or of the detergent itself before or
during use, such as optical brighteners, fabric softeners, colors, perfumes, etc.
9
Ingredients such as corrosion inhibitors to counteract damage to equipment with which the detergent is
used
Ingredients to reduce harm or produce benefits to skin, when the detergent is used by bare hand on
inanimate objects or used to clean skin
Preservatives to prevent spoilage of other ingredients Sometimes materials more complicated than mere
mixtures of compounds are said to be detergent. For instance, certain foods such as celery are said to be
detergent or detersive to teeth.
Types
There are several factors that dictate what compositions of detergent should be used, including the
material to be cleaned, the apparatus to be used, and tolerance for and type of dirt. For instance, all of the
following are used to clean glass. The sheer range of different detergents that can be used demonstrates
the importance of context in the selection of an appropriate glass-cleaning agent:
a chromic acid solution—to get glass very clean for certain precision demanding purposes such as
analytical chemistry
a high-foaming mixture of surfactants with low skin irritation—for hand washing of dishware in a sink or
dishpan
any of various non-foaming compositions—for dishware in a dishwashing machine
other surfactant-based compositions—for washing windows with a squeegee, followed by rinsing
an ammonia-containing solution—for cleaning windows with no additional dilution and no rinsing
ethano l or methanol in windshield washer fluid—used for a vehicle in motion, with no additional dilution
glass contact lens cleaning solutions, which must clean and disinfect without leaving any eye-harming
material that would not be easily rinsed
History of Detergent
The earliest detergent substance was undoubtedly water; after that, oils, abrasives such as wet sand, and
wet clay. The oldest known detergent for wool-washing is stale (putrescent) urine. Other detergent
surfactants came from saponin sand ox bile. The detergent effects of certain synthetic surfactants were
noted in 1913 by A. Reychler, a Belgian chemist. The first commercially available detergent taking
advantage of those observations was Nekal, sold in Germany in 1917, to alleviate World War I soap
shortages. Detergents were mainly used in industry until World War II. By then new developments and the
later conversion of USA aviation fuel plants to produce tetrapropylene, used in household detergents,
10
caused a fast growth of household use, in the late 1940s. In the late 1960s biological detergents,
containing enzymes, better suited to dissolve protein stains, such as egg stains, were introduced in the USA
by Procter & Gamble.
Indian detergent market
The first companies to manufacture detergents in India were HLL and Swastik. HLL test marketed Surf
between 1956 and 1958 and began manufacturing it from 1959. Swastik launched Det, a white detergent
powder, in 1957.
By 1960, Det had made rapid inroads in eastern India. Surf, a blue detergent powder, became the national
market leader with dominant positions in the west, north and south.
In the early 1960s, the total volume of detergents manufactured in India grew from around 1600 tonnes to
8000 tonnes. HLL dominated the market with a share of almost 70 % compared to Det's 25%. In 1966,
another player entered the fray. Tata Oil Mills Company (TOMCO)2 launched its detergent powder 'Magic'.
In 1973, TOMCO introduced 'Tata's Tej' in the low-priced segment. TOMCO unveiled another economy
detergent powder called OK in 1977.

Detergent Brands
Ghari
Various Products offered by Ghari are:
Ghari Detergent Powder
This product created a marketing miracle, when introduced in the domestic marketplace. when the
detergents were priced so exorbitantly that for most of the Indians, it was a luxury item. Ghari envisioned
the vast Fabric Wash market segment and sensed a tremendous potential therein. This product was priced
at almost one third to that of the competitor brands, resulting into instant trial by the consumers. Owing
to its unique environment-friendly, phosphate-free formulation, the consumers became loyal to this
brand, helping it to over-take the decades’ old brands, in terms of volumes. This brand had been ranked as
the “Most widely distributed detergent powder brand in India” as per All India Census of Retail Outlets
carried out in 435 urban towns by the AIMS (Asian Information Marketing & Social) Research agency
[Brand Equity - The Economic Times, March 11, 1997]. As per the ORG-MARG Rural Consumer
Panel [December 1998] survey, Gmail brand has been ranked as highest in terms of penetration in
washing powder category [BT Rural Market Watch, Business Today, June 22, 1999].

ARIEL
Ariel is a marketing line of laundry detergents made by Procter & Gamble. It is the flagship brand
in Procter & Gamble's European,Mexican, Japanese, Brazilian, Peruvian, Turkish, Filipino,
and Venezuelan portfolios.
Ariel first appeared on the UK market circa 1968 and was the first detergent with stain-removing
enzymes. It was a high-sudsing powder designed for twin-tub and top-loading washing machines.
With the rise in popularity of automatic front-loading washing machines, a suitable low-suds
variant was launched in the early 1970s. The mid-eighties saw the range expanding to encompass
liquid detergent and compact powder.
The compact powder was originally known as "Ariel Ultra"; and was subsequently reformulated
into the nineties as "Ariel Futur". This was possibly in response to Unilever's launch of the
ultimately doomed "Persil Power", which was seen to damage clothes. Compact powders never
14
proved popular in the UK; so when the tablet variant appeared in July 1999, the compact version
disappeared.
In 2003, Ariel brought out its quickwash action to its detergents, to allow consumers to be able to
do their laundry on a quickwash cycle.
In 2006, Ariel started its "turn to 30" campaign to inspire consumers to wash in cool water so that
energy can be saved.
Ariel launched a concentrated version of their liquid detergents named Ariel Power in the spring of
2008.
In October 2008, Ariel launched their new Excel Gel product which can be used in temperatures as
low as 15 degrees celsius. This product was launched under Ariel's "cold is the new hot" campaign.
SURF EXCEL
Launched in 1959 & first in Indian detergent powder mkt.
It was the first Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) for Detergent.
Surf was the first brand of detergent that was advertised on TV. It is advertised on more than
300 channels across the globe .
Introduced the concept of bucket wash to housewives who up till now used to washing
clothes with laundry soap bars.
Brand to set up a one-stop shop - called Care line - for people seeking solutions to their varied
laundry problems.
Surf Excel, launched in 1954, is one of the oldest detergent powders in India. Initially, the
brand was positioned on the clear proposition of “washes whitest”.
Surf Excel underwent various changes in its Brand Communication; from ‘Lalitaji' to 'dhoondte
reh jaaoge' to 'jaise bhi daag ho, surf excel hai na', and is today communicated on the
platform of 'Dhaag achcha hai'.
2006 saw a unique marketing move from HLL.
Rin Supreme bar is being migrated to Surf Excel.
Right from ‘Lalitaji’, representative of the true-blue cost-conscious Indian woman, till the
inspiring storyboards of today, Surf Excel has done it all and in style!
15
HLL to revise Surf Excel pricing - A change in the pricing strategy for HLL Surf Excel brand,
which dominates the Rs 5,000 crore detergent powder market, seems to be on the cards.
HLL is now reworking the Surf Excel strategy by moving away from positioning the brand on
functional benefits, to building an emotional connect
Price Index Size Market growth TO NEAREST COMPETITOR

CHAPTER – III
INTRODUCTION
Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. It is a
relatively recent term since in previous centuries the jobs available to a particular person
were often predetermined by the occupation of that person’s parent. There are a variety of
factors that can influence a person’s level of job satisfaction. Some of these factors
include the level of pay and benefits, the perceived fairness o the promotion system within
a company, the quality of the working conditions, leadership and social relationships, the
job itself (the variety of tasks involved, the interest and challenge the job generates, and
the clarity of the job description/requirements).
18
The happier people are within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. Job
satisfaction is not the same as motivation, although it is clearly linked. Job design aims to
enhance job satisfaction and performance methods include job rotation, job enlargement
and job enrichment. Other influences on satisfaction include the management style and
culture, employee involvement, empowerment and autonomous workgroups. Job
satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently measured by organizations.
The most common way of measurement is the use of rating scales where employees
report their reactions to their jobs. Questions relate to relate of pay, work responsibilities,
variety of tasks, promotional opportunities the work itself and co-workers. Some
questioners ask yes or no questions while others ask to rate satisfaction on 1 – 5 scale
9where 1 represents “not all satisfied” and 5 represents “extremely satisfied”).
Definitions
Job satisfaction has been defined as a pleasurable emotional state resulting from
the appraisal of one’s job; an affective reaction to one’s job; and an attitude towards one’s
job. Weiss (2007) has argued that job satisfaction is an attitude but points out that
researchers should clearly distinguish the objects of cognitive evaluation which are affect
(emotion), beliefs and behaviors. This definition suggests that we from attitudes towards
our jobs by taking into account our feelings, our beliefs, and our behaviors.
Affect Theory
Edwin A. Lockes Range of Affect Theory (1976) is arguably the most famous job
satisfaction model. The main premises of this theory is that satisfaction is determined by a
discrepancy between what one wants in a job and what one has in a job. Further, the
theory states that how much one values a given facet of work (e.e. the degree of
19
autonomy in a position) moderates how satisfied/dissatisfied one becomes when
expectations are/are not met. When a person values a particular facet of a job, his
satisfaction is more greatly impacted both positively (when expectations are met) and
negatively (when expectations are not met), compared to one who does not value that
facet. To illustrate, if Employee A values autonomy in the workplace and Employee B is
indifferent about autonomy, then Employee A would be more satisfied in a position that
offers a high degree of autonomy compared to Employee B. this theory also states that
too much of a particular facet will produces stronger feelings of dissatisfaction the more a
worker values that facet.
Dispositional Theory
Another well known job satisfaction theory is the Dispositional Theory. It is a very
general theory that suggests that people have innate dispositions that cause them to have
tendencies toward a certain level of satisfaction, regardless of one’s job. This approach
became a notable explanation of job satisfaction in light evidence that job satisfaction
tends to be stable over time and across careers and jobs. Research also indicates that
identical twins have similar levels of job satisfaction.
A significant model that narrowed the scope of the Dispositional Theory was the
core Self-evaluations Model, proposed by Timorthy A. Judge in 1998. Judge argued that
there are four Core Self-evaluations that determine one’s disposition towards job
satisfaction: self-esteem, general self-efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism. This
model states that higher levels of self-esteem (the value one places on his self) and
general self-efficacy (the belief in one’s own competence) lead to higher work satisfaction.
Having an internal locus of control (believing one has control over her/his own life, as
opposed to outside forces having control) leads to higher job satisfaction. Finally, lower
levels of neuroticism lead to higher job satisfaction.
Two – Factor Theory (Motivation – Hygiene Theory)
Fredrick Herzberg’s Two factor theory (also known as Motivator Hygiene Theory)
attempts to explain satisfaction and motivation in the workplace. This theory states that
satisfaction and dissatisfaction are driven by different factors motivation and hygiene
factors, respectively. Motivating factors are those aspects of the job that make people
20
want o perform, and provide people with satisfaction. These motivating factors are
considered to be intrinsic to the job, or the work carried out. Motivating factors include
aspects of the working environment such as pay, company policies, supervisory practices,
and other working conditions.
While Herzberg’s model has stimulated much research, researchers have been
unable to reliably empirically prove the model, with Hackman & Oldham suggesting that
Herzberg’s original formulation of the model may have been a methodological artifact.
Furthermore, the theory does not consider individual differences, conversely predicting all
employees will react in an identical manner to changes in motivating/hygiene factors.
Finally, the model has been criticised in that it does not specify how motivating/hygiene
factors are to be measured.
21
Measuring Job Satisfaction
There are many methods for measuring job satisfaction. By far, the most common
method for collecting data regarding job satisfacting is the Likert scale (named after
Rensis Likert). Other less common methods of for gauging job satisfaction include:
Yes/No questions, True/False questions, point systems, checklist, forced choice answers.
The Job Descriptive Index (JDI), created by smith, Kendall, & Hulin (1969), job
satisfaction that has been widely used. It measures one’s satisfaction in five facets: pay,
promotions and opportunities, coworkers, supervision, and the work itself. The scale is
simple, participants answer either yes, no, or decide in response to whether given
statements accurately describe one job.
The Job in General Index is an overall measurement of job satisfaction. It was an
improvement to the job Descriptive Index because the JDI focused too much on individual
facets and not enough on work satisfaction in general.

25
CHAPTER - IV
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
The data after collection is to be processed and analyzed in accordance with the
outline and down for the purpose at the time of developing research plan.
Technically speaking, processing implies editing, coding, classification and
tabulation of collected data so that they are amenable to analysis. The term analysis
refers to the computation of certain measures along with searching for pattern groups.
Thus in the process of analysis, relationship or difference should be subjected to
statistical tests of significance to determine with what validity data can be said to indicate
any conclusions.
The analysis of data in a general way involves a number of closely related operations,
which are performed with the purpose of summarizing the collected data and organizing
them in such a manner that they answer the research questions. In this study the
researcher followed above process carefully and it is presented in this chapter

CHI-SQUARE METHOD
The chi square test is one of the simplest and most widely used non-
parametric tests in statistical work. As a non-parametric test it can be used to determine if
categorical data shows dependency or the two classifications are independent. It can also
be used to make comparisons between theoretical population and actual data when
categories are used.
