    PREFACE

    During the 80s, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) became the first company in India to

    prove that it was possible to drive a vehicle without polluting the roads. The company introduced

    new generation motorcycles that set industry benchmarks for fuel thrift and low emission. A

    legendary 'Fill it - Shut it - Forget it' campaign captured the imagination of commuters across

    India, and Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) sold millions of bikes purely on the

    commitment of increased mileage. In today world customer is the king irrespective of whatever

    the business may be ,wherever the operations may be .A good business organization is known

    by its strong customer loyalty, which turns to become a unified family.

    The project assigned to me by the company was a market study on 100cc bikes among the

    dealers and customers with special reference to Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) dealer

    and loyalty of customers towards the bike. The objective of the study was to find out the dealers

    and customers opinion about the 100cc bikes with special reference to Hero Moto Corp

    (previously Hero Honda) dealer to understand how market fluctuations affect their strategic

    decision. The research methodology was descriptive in nature encompassing a sample of

    200customers for in-depth analysis It was observed that 80%of the respondents are interested to

    purchase Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) motor vehicle .are in the age group of 18-35.

    A large part of respondents with majority of 60% are satisfied with the availability of spare part

    and remaining 40% says no. It was observed that the 92% resplendence are either highly satisfied

    are just satisfied and remaining 8% are dissatisfied. Different models Hero Moto Corp

    (previously Hero Honda) vehicles can be introduced for ladies, with better comfort, speed and

    power, so that it can cater to the changing tastes of women.

    More service station should be established in every part of the city, so those customers have an

    easy accessibility. With a strong sales and service network of 650 Authorized dealership, 1500

    authorized service centers and over 1000 certified service points, Hero Moto Corp (previously

    Hero Honda) is growing from strength to strength. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)

    motor should also start producing other models and should add a different style and variety to

    their product line. This will surely attract more customers. This will help to increase the existing

    goodwill and position in the market. The experience gained during the analysis and drawing

    inferences was an exciting and informative exercise under the guidance of unit head.

    INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC

    HISTORYABOUT THE CHAIRMAN

    Brijmohan Lall MunjalSeeding a Dream

    "Don't dream if you can't fulfill your dreams'' Brijmohan Lall Munjal is often fond of saying. The

    founder and patriarch of the $ 2.8 billion Hero Group is your classic first generation

    entrepreneur. He is a man who started small, dreamt big and used a combination of grit and

    perseverance to create one of the country's largest corporate groups and the World's No.1 Two

    Wheeler Company. Instinctive from a young age, Brijmohan Lall made a rather unusual start in

    life. Around the time when the freedom movement in India was taking shape in the late 1920s,

    he walked into a newly opened Gurukul (Indian heritage school) near his home in Kamalia (now

    in Pakistan). He was only six years old then. Thus began an extraordinary tale of courage and

    perseverance. Brijmohan began his business story after partition in 1947, when he and his

    brothers relocated to Ludhiana. The family set up a company that provided poor people with

    basic transport (cycles). Three decades later, as India evolved, he added a second crucial chapterwhich visualized affordable and technologically superior transport to millions of middle class

    Indians. The rest is history.

    Building Relationships When Brijmohan and his brothers started out, there was no concept of

    organized dealer networks. Companies just produced, and most dealers functioned like traders.

    Brijmohan changed the rules of the business by trusting his gut instincts; introducing business

    norms that were ahead of their time, and by investing in strategic relationships. Brijmohan built a

    series of bonds and networks with hundreds of family members, vendors, dealers and employees.Much like the Japanese keiretsu system, these networks are now the glue that holds the Hero

    Group together. "Thanks to the relationships that we have nurtured so passionately in the Hero

    Family, the younger generations of some of our bicycle dealers have become dealers of Hero

    Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda). These relationships have survived through generations -

    through bad times and good times'' the patriarch now reminiscences. Besides bonding with his

  • 7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)

    4/82

    4 | P a g e

    vendors and dealers, Brijmohan has been personally responsible for kindling a spirit of

    entrepreneurship amongst his employees, and today, 40 of his former employees are successful

    entrepreneurs.

    Staying Ahead Though not technically qualified in the conventional sense, few of his

    contemporaries have understood the dynamics of technology better than Brijmohan Lall has. He

    could always visualize the applicability of technology before others could. For example, in the

    1980s, when all two-wheeler companies in India opted for two-stroke engine technology,

    Brijmohan preferred a four-stoke engine - a technology that dramatically increased fuel

    efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. This technology was one of the biggest reasons for

    Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)'s stupendous success. Time and again, Brijmohanmanaged to steal a march over his industry peers. For example, when Honda Motors of Japan

    was looking for a collaborator in the 1980s, the Hero Group was not high up the pecking order

    initially as there were other more eligible and established suitors. Yet it didn't take long for the

    astute Japanese to realize that the Hero Group and Honda had much more in common than earlier

    perceived; there a sharp focus on financial and raw material management, and employee turnover

    was low. Honda officials were also amazed to find that the Munjals were already practicing

    "Just-in-time-inventory" at the time (JIT). It turned out that Brijmohan Lall's aspiration to

    provide cheap transportation to India's poor by default ensured lean and costeffective operations.

    This in turn increased vendor efficiency and led to near-zero inventories.

    A Corporate Citizen A frugal upbringing and a value system modeled on the famous Gurukul

    system - which stresses the sanctity of the teacher-pupil relationship - imbibed in Brijmohan a

    strong sense of social commitment and responsibility. There is a special place in his heart for

    Ludhiana, the city where he took roots. Today, Ludhiana is a modern, bustling city, but

    Brijmohan has played no mean role in its evolution. Several schools and educational institutions

    in Ludhiana owe their existence to the Munjal family. The Ludhiana Stock Exchange owes its

    existence to Brijmohan's vision as does the Ludhiana Flying Club. He's also set up the not-

    forprofit Dayanand Medical College and Hospital-an institute now rated as one of the best

    medical colleges in India, in terms of infrastructure, quality of staff and alumni profile. In and

    around Dharuhera, near the first Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) plant, Brijmohan and

  • 7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)

    his family have left their stamp of philanthropy. The Raman Kant Munjal Foundation - which

    Brijmohan set up in memory of his eldest son, today runs a higher secondary school and a very

    modern and well-equipped 100-bed hospital at Dharuhera. The group has also adopted numerousvillages and provides education, vocational training, drinking water, roads, streetlights and

    sewerage.

    AUTO INDUSTRY- A REVIEW

    INTRODUCTION

    The Rs. 5500 crore Indian two wheeler segment is the second largest market fin the world after

    China. Indias two wheeler production is the third largest in the world after Japan and China.

    India has a welldeveloped two wheeler market with around 25 million households owning two-

    wheeler. The Indian two wheeler industry made a modest beginning in the early 1950 when

    Automobile Product of India ( API ) started manufacturing scooter in India. Until 1958. API and

    Enfield( motorcycle) were the only two in production. In 1948, Bajaj auto began trading in

    imported Vespa scooter and the threewheeler- finally, in 1960s. it set up shop to manufacturer

    them in technical collaboration with piggaio of Italy. The agreement expired in 1971. In the

    initial stages, the scooters segment was regulated regime, foreign company was not allowed to

    operate in India, and waiting time for getting Bajaj scooters was as high as 12 years. Java, and

    escort. While the Enfield bullet was a four strokes bike, the Java and Rajdoot were two-strokes

    bikes. The motorcycles industry was originally dominated by Enfield with 350 cc bikes. The

    motorcycles industry was cc segment. The two wheelers segment was opened up to foreign

    competition in the mid 1980s which saw the entry of the Japanese manufactures into the count

    COMPANY PROFILE

    The Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) story began with a simple vision the vision of amobile and an empowered India, powered by Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda). This

    vision was driven by Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)'s commitment to customer,

    quality and excellence, and while doing so, maintain the highest standards of ethics and societal

    responsibilities. Twenty five years and 25 million two wheelers later, Hero Moto Corp

    (previously Hero Honda) is closer to fulfilling this dream. This vision is the driving force behind

    everything that we do at Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda). We understood that the

    fastest way to turn that dream into a reality is by remaining focused on that vision. There were

    many unknowns but we kept faith, and today, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) has

    been the largest two wheeler company in the world for eight consecutive years. Our growth has

    kept compounding. The company crossed the ten million unit milestone over a 19-year span. In

    the new millennium, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) has scaled this to 15 million

    units in just five years! In fact, during the year in review, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero

    Honda) sold more two wheelers than the second, third and fourth placed two wheeler company

    put together. With Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda), the domestic two wheeler market

    was able to show positive growth during the year in review. Without Hero Moto Corp

    (previously Hero Honda), the domestic market would have actually shrunk. Over the course of

    two and a half decades, and three successive joint venture agreements later, both partners have

    fine-tuned and perfected their roles as joint venture partners. What the two partners did was

    something quite basic. They simply stuck to their respective strengths. As one of the world's

    technology leaders in the automotive sector, Honda has been able to consistently provide

    technical knowhow, design specifications and R&D innovations. This has led to the development

    of world class, value - for- money motorcycles and scooters for the Indian market. On its part,the Hero Group has taken on the singular and onerous responsibility of creating world-class

    manufacturing facilities with robust processes, building the supply chain, setting up an extensive

    distribution networks and providing insights into the mind of the Indian customer. Since both

    partners continue to focus on their respective strengths, they have been able to complement each

    other. In the process, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) is recognized today as one of the

  • 7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)

    14/82

    14 | P a g e

    most successful joint ventures in the world. It is therefore no surprise that there are more Hero

    Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) bikes on this country's roads than the total population of

    some European countries put together! The company's meteoric growth in the two-wheelermarket in India stems from an intrinsic ability to reach out and come closer to its customers, with

    every passing year. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)'s bikes are sold and serviced

    through a network of over 3500 customer touch points, comprising a mix of dealers, service

    centres and stockists located across rural and urban India. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero

    Honda) has built two world-class manufacturing facilities at Dharuhera and Gurgaon in Haryana,

    and its third and most sophisticated plant at Haridwar has just completed a full year of

    operations. It is difficult to imagine that all this has happened in the span of just two and a half

    decades! The best is yet to come. During the year in review, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero

    Honda) powered its way in a market that, for all practical purposes, was feeling the full effects of

    the economic slowdown in India. With an economic recovery now clearly on the cards, Hero

    Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) is all set to ride into another summit. As Brijmohan Lall

    Munjal, the Chairman, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) Motors succinctly puts it, "We

    pioneered India's two wheeler industry, we've steered it through difficult times; now it is our

    responsibility to set the pace again.''

    New Models The company has a large portfolio of brands, with the moneyspinners being mainly

    Splendor Plus (the world's largest selling bike) and Passion. However, the company claims it was

    the launch of the 150cc CBZ and 225cc KARIZMA which established Hero Moto Corp

    (previously Hero Honda) as an inspirational brand. "The launch of CBZ and KARIZMA got us

    into a different league altogether. Although the sales are just about 3,000 a month, it made us an

    overall bike company, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) would launch a new model of

    the KARIZMA by the end of current year, the Managing Director, Mr. Brijmohanlal Munjal,

    said. Meanwhile, the company is yet to decide on the location of its proposed Fourth

    manufacturing unit. The feasibility study is on' ', he said, adding that the new plant was likely to

    come up in the next 18 months. New launches are likely to help Hero Moto Corp (previously

    Hero Honda) gain a market share in the coming quarters. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero

    Honda) Motors Ltd, has launched a new 100-cc four-stroke bike, CD deluxe and Dawn is likely

  • 7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)

    15/82

    15 | P a g e

    to be phased out of the market once the new model sells ``10,000 plus'' units per month. Sales

    Performance Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) went against the grain and created a

    growth trajectory all of its own. Sales of the company grew by over 11 per cent in volume termsand in value terms; they grew by over 19 per cent. Effectively, this helped the company end the

    year with a market share of around 60 per cent. This robust performance helped the company

    increase earnings margin 120 basis pointsa remarkable feat, considering that elsewhere in the

    world, the automobile industry went through its worst year in recent history.

    Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)s performance in its silver jubilee year helped it retain

    its position as the worlds largest two wheeler company for the eighth year in a row. It also

    helped the company cross the 25 million unit markbecoming the first company in India toreach this milestone. Last year, two new models were launched, namely CBZ XTREME and

    HUNK to address super-style and economy segments. Passion pro has found its position firm

    amongst Indian models, only next to Splendor, the largest selling bike in the world in terms of

    sales performance. CBZ was re-launched as CBZ XTREME, in April 2007, with changes and

    value additions to cater to specific needs of the customers. Reportedly CBZ XTREME is doing

    well in its segments and has sold over 10,000 units in the initial months itself. Hero Moto Corp

    (previously Hero Honda) has targeted a sale of over 3 million bikes for the year 2009-10. This

    effort is supplemented by a major launch this year, in October end; this bike will have some

    exclusive features and will be in the 200cc plus range. There are some ambitious programmes of

    launching a new range of bikes with technical support from Honda in the coming years. With a

    slew of such measures the capacity available at present locations can at best support two-million

    production target at the existing plants. The company, therefore, is looking at the possibility of

    setting up a third plant to meet the future demand and for which techno-economic study is in

    progress.

    New Initiatives Customer and customer satisfaction is the purpose of our being an entity. To

    increasingly understand him and make him part of our ongoing business. Customer related

    initiative has been the increase of warranty period to three years since July 2008. This has

    attracted a great deal of customer attention. During the year the company has added nearly a

    hundred dealerships and SSPs. In terms of sheer numbers, the network has grown by 16% during

  • 7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)

    16/82

    16 | P a g e

    the year 2008-09. We would endeavor to increase our reach to every corner of this country. Plans

    for the future In the previous year, the domestic two-wheeler industry entered a period of de-

    growth. However, this was arrested in 2008-09, largely on the back of Hero Moto Corp(previously Hero Honda)'s performance. After the blip of last year, the two-wheeler industry

    went back to a growth phase, largely driven by Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) and

    exports. The industry clocked total volumes of 8.5 million during the year in review, a growth of

    5 per cent compared to a fall of 5 per cent in the previous year. The pace of growth was lower in

    the domestic market, where the industry clocked sales of 7.43 million, a rise of only 2.60 per

    cent. This, however, was a significant improvement over previous year when the industry had

    shrunk by 8 per cent. Motorcycles continue to constitute the largest chunk of the two wheeler

    industry, and during the year in review, accounted for four fifth of sales. Interestingly, for the

    second year in succession, scooters increased their share in the two-wheeler pie from 14 per cent

    to 16 per cent. This is clearly a trend reversal from the last 10 years, where the share of scooters

    in the two-wheeler pie had been shrinking. Changing lifestyles among women, and the

    introduction of feature-rich, high-quality scooters possibly has much to do with the revival in

    demand

    The entry segment made up of basic 100 cc bikes -Had started slowing two years ago, and

    during the year in review, sales in this segment were down by more than 15 per cent. This could

    be attributed to the fact that deluxe segment bikes have become affordable on account of a 4 per

    cent excise cut, 1 per cent reduction in CST and the special package of reduction in excise duty

    in December, which most manufacturers passed on to the consumers. The deluxe segment-made

    up of value for money and feature-rich bikes in the 100-125 cc category-grew by 15.2 per cent.

    The 125-250 cc category-grew at 8.8 per cent. The pace of growth has fallen from last year's

    levels. There is no doubt that the higher interest rates have brought down growth. Nevertheless,

    this segment was still able to clock a growth rate in high single digits mainly because of the

    excitement caused by a slew of new models that came into this segment during the year. The

    bigger story, of course, is that buyers in small-town India and rural India, as well as employees

    of the state and Central government, were relatively less affected by the slowdown, and this

    benefitted the two wheeler industry.

    CLASSIFICATION OF THE INDUSTRY

    The two-wheeler segment can be categorized into the scooter, mopeds, and motorcycles.

    Motorcycles: this segment has shown the best performance in the recent years. The market

    leaders in this section are Bajaj Auto. TVS, Mahindra, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero

    Honda). [The splendor is the most popular segment among motorcycles.]

    Two Wheeler Industry

    It wasnt an easy year for the two wheeler industry. Rising interest rates and the economicslowdown resulted in delayed consumer decision making and a rise in loan defaults. Over the

    course of the year, banks withdrew financing facilities from satellite towns. The share of

    financing, which had increased rapidly to 50-60 per cent of the total retail sales by early 2007,

    has now come down to below 30 per This came as a major setback for the two-wheeler industry.

    Ongoing government investments very clearly emphasis inclusive growth through improved

    connectivity, job-creation and improving quality of life. The rural road outlay has been upped by

    close to 60 per cent, the budget for the Urban Renewal Mission has been hiked by 87 per cent,

    and fund allocation to the ongoing National Highways program has been upped by 23 per cent.

    Importantly, India has added fresh impetus to its flagship job creation program for rural India:

    the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. During 2008-09, this scheme, which

    provides 100 guaranteed days of work a day for the countrys rural poor, provided employment

    opportunities to more than 44 million households last year; a year ago, 33 million households

    were covered. During the year, there have been important developments in two wheeler industry.

    The competition has strengthened though there are hardly any new entrants into the industry.

    There is an increasing emphasis on price and this has led to cost cutting efforts all across cent.

    the industry, thereby, making the customer an ultimate beneficiary. The trend also saw

    introduction of new motorcycles with capacity ranging from 100 to 250cc bikes. We anticipate

    that many more new models will be launched during the year and provide customers plenty of

    choice at competitive prices. Businesses cannot consistently grow at 25-30 per cent. Each

    23/82

    23 | P a g e

    business has a tendency to taper and plateau after attaining a particular size. An annual growth

    rate of 10-12 per cent over a period of time is extremely healthy. The TCS study rankings are

    conducted at the motorcycle segment level to provide comparisons among similar groups ofmotorcycles. Motorcycles ranking highest in their respective segments for TCS are: Hero Moto

    Corp (previously Hero Honda) splendor plus (best standard motorcycle segment); Bajaj pulser

    (best executive motorcycle segment); Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) karizma (best

    premium motorcycle segment); and Royal Enfield Bullet Electra (best cruiser motorcycle

    segment). "The relatively low score for the executive segment indicates that most manufacturers

    have fallen short of meeting the high expectations of these buyers,".

    Production, sales growth of the industry

    The two-wheeler companies have been operating at high capacities due to high growth rates

    between 2009 and 2008. The growth is expected to lead to increase in the capacities from present

    52 lakh units to 65 lakhs per annum in the year 2009-10, whereas the actual production estimates

    by that period at an estimated growth rate of 18% is only 60 lakhs. Charts showing two-wheeler

    industry growth rates Demand

    In India the two-wheeler provide an easy and popular mode of personal transport for the middle

    classes. With public transportation system being inadequate and ineffective the demand for the

    two wheeler is likely to rise. The two-wheeler sales are expected to touch the 5 million mark by

    the end of the decade as against the annual sales of 35,49,271 in 2008-09. Technology With

    liberalization and the increasing competition. The two- wheeler industry has witnessed

    technological changes. The four- stroke engine is being introduced in place of the traditional

    populations and fuel inefficient two stroke engine. The smaller capacity engine with the

    electronic fuel injection is also being used. Bajaj auto is now feeling the need to increase its

    technological competence. Wit the competition cashing in on the technological competence for

    their collaborators. Emphasizes being laid on lighter and fuel- efficient vehicles. A class of

    vehicle having fuel efficiency of a moped and sleekness and style of the motorcycles called

    scooter is growing. The vehicles offer a fuel efficiency of 60-65 km p/h. They enter into new

    segment, Bajaj Auto has come out with TVS with Scooty pep and Hero Moto Corp (previously

  • 7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)

    24 | P a g e

    Hero Honda) has come out with a Pleasure and upgraded version of sleek. Government policy

    The excise duty on two-wheeler , which has previous 10 percent to 30 percent according to the

    engine capacity, was rationalized is only two categories size. 15 percent for 75 cc enginecapacity and 25 percent for above 75 cc engine capacity the excise duty structure has been left

    untouched since the 1993-94 budget.

    The Indian two-wheeler industry is experiencing a major shift in its shape and structure. The

    established players in the industry are taking a hard look at their portfolio of products and are in

    the process of reshuffling them to meet the expectations of customers. The beneficiary is of

    course the consumer, who has an increased array of products to choose from. The last four-five

    years have brought about a great change in the consumer preferences for two-wheelers. Themarket leaders of yesteryears are being driven to maintain their leadership position in the

    forthcoming years. Those who have had a great going in the last few years are fighting hard to

    retain their new supremacy. The two-wheeler industry is perhaps the most happening place in

    terms of new models launched, upgraded products and innovative marketing techniques. Gone

    are the days of regulation when the production of scooters and motorcycles was limited to two or

    three brands and the number of products produced was decided by the Government; today the

    Indian two-wheeler market is highly competitive with numerous players who offer anything and

    everything a consumer demands and that too at affordable price. From a sellers market where

    one had to wait for a scooter for 12 years to the days when you can just walk into any showroom

    and drive out in the vehicle of your choice, the market of two-wheelers in India has come a long

    way. But this is only the beginning of the transformation.

    Marketing and The Distribution

    Like any other emerging country, India experienced the knock-on effects of the global crisis

    during the year in review. The effects were felt through the monetary, financial and real

    channels. Drying up of global finance impacted from the middle of the fiscal impacted domestic

    capital finance; and corporate earnings came off peaks. In April 2009, Reserve Bank of India

    predicted that the Indian economy's growth for 2008-09 would slow to 6.6 per cent, breaking an

    excellent five-year growth sequence. There were two dimensions to the economic slowdown. In

  • 7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)

    25/82

    25 | P a g e

    the first half, inflation ran into double digits as a result of the global crude shock and the global

    food grain shortage. To control inflation, the RBI clamped down on money supply, and reduced

    liquidity in the economy. By the time inflation started coming under control, domestic interestrates started shooting up. Meanwhile, the global crisis erupted, putting further pressure on

    liquidity levels. By October 2008, slowdown was clearly apparent in export-intensive sectors,

    both in the manufacturing and service side. By December, the slowdown turned into de-growth.

    The cutback in demand from Europe and the US was so sharp that even a competitive rupee,

    which devalued by around 12 per cent during the year, couldn't act as a buffer. By December

    2008, the growth momentum of the first six months was lost. Planned investment projects were

    shelved; live projects faced a shortage of funds as credit flows dried up. As money became

    dearer, pay packets became slimmer and risk aversion grew both from the demand and supply

    side. Compulsions of coalition politics at the Centre and the impending Lok Sabha elections

    didn't help either, and slowed down reforms and implementation of projects, particularly in

    critical sectors like roads, ports and power. The worst hit was the manufacturing sector. From the

    second half of the financial year, the index of industrial production contracted on three

    occasions, remained close to zero on two occasions, and was mildly positive only once. Two

    Wheeler Financing Though two-wheeler are the most preferred from of transport in India, the

    fact remains that it is a lower end market product. Most two-wheeler manufacturer like Bajaj

    Auto and kinetic engineering have set up their own finance company since organized financiers

    do not think the returns are particularly attractive. The argument given by some financiers is that

    the price of a Yamaha or Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) is so high that people prefer

    to buy a second hand car instead. This is particularly true of small town where people desire to

    own a car and they have the means the two wheeler is then only a second vehicle for the family.

    MARKET MECHANICS: Since 1985, when the first Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)

    it has been and instant hit. A mileage miser with just about adequate performance further backed

    by image of Honda and Hero Cycles brand of aggressive marketing, it climbed up the sales chart

    outselling every other motorcycle by ten of thousands every year. Over the years, company has

    contenders.

    SEGMENTATION, TARGETING & POSITIONING

    From the current segmentation, targeting & positioning and consumer surveys we found that ourclient has targeted the following segments

    Congested areas of urban cities.

    Males/Females between the age group of 18-36

    Middle class people , mostly officials & executives The client analysis from our questionnaire

    it was found that our client has targeted the right segment HHML is overlooking one feature in

    bike which is its low maintenance cost and reliability (i.e. less chances of breakdown) which is

    absent in its competitors. Therefore, in order to meet the sales target, two option are available

    with the client, one is to redesign the bike and second is to reposition the bike as Bike with one

    time investment. Since redesigning of bike may involve a big task and huge investment

    therefore we recommended repositioning the bike.

    Growth

    The business growth of Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) has been phenomenal

    throughout its early days. The Munjal family started a modest business of bicycle components.

    Hero Group expanded so big that by 2002 they had sold 86 million bicycles producing 16000

    bicycles a day. Today Hero Honda has an assembly line of 9 different models

    of motorcycles available. It holds the record for most popular bike in the world by sales for Its

    Splendor model. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) Motors Limited was established in

    joint venture with Honda Motors of Japan in 1984, to manufacture motorcycles. It is currently

    the largest producer of Two Wheelers in the world. It sold 3 million bikes in the year 2005-2006.

    Recently it has also entered in scooter manufacturing, with its model PLEASURE mainly aimed

    at girls. The Hero Group has done business differently right from the start and that is what hashelped them to achieve break-through in the competitive two-wheeler market. The Group's low

    key, but focused, style of management has earned the company plaudits amidst investors,

    employees, vendors and dealers, as also worldwide recognition. The growth of the Group

    through the years has been influenced by a number of factors:

  • 7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)

    27/82

    27 | P a g e

    Just-in-Time

    The Hero Group through the Hero Cycles Division was the first to introduce the concept of just-

    in-time inventory. The Group boasts of superb operational efficiencies. Every

    assembly line worker operates two machines simultaneously to save time and improve

    productivity. The fact that most of the machines are either developed or fabricated in- house,

    has resulted in low inventory levels. In Hero Cycles Limited, the just-in-time inventory

    principle has been working since the beginning of production in the unit and is functional even

    till date.. This is the Japanese style of production and in India; Hero is probably the only

    company to have mastered the art of the just-in-time inventory principle

    AncillarisationAn integral part of the Group strategy of doing business differently was providing support to

    ancillary units. There are over 300 ancillary units today, whose production is dedicated to Hero's

    requirements and also a large number of other vendors, which include some of the better known

    companies in the automotive segment. Employee Policy: Another Striking feature within the

    Hero Group is the commitment and dedication of its workers. There is no organized labor union

    and family members of employees find ready employment within Hero. The philosophy with

    regard to labor management is "Hero is growing, grow with Hero." When it comes to workers'

    benefits, the Hero Group is known for providing facilities, further ahead of the industry norms.

    Long before other companies did so, Hero was giving its employees a uniform

    allowance, as well as House Rent

    Allowance (HRA) and Leave Travel Allowance (LTA). Extra benefits took the form of medical

    check-ups, not just for workers, but also for the immediate family members.

    Dealer Network

    The relationship of Hero Group with their dealers is unique in its closeness. The dealers are

    considered a part of the Hero family. A nation-wide dealer network comprising of over 5,000

    outlets, and have a formidable distribution system in place. Sales agents from Hero travels to all

    the corners of the country, visiting dealers and send back daily postcards with information on the

    stock position that day, turnover, fresh purchases, anticipated demand and also competitor

    28/82

    28 | P a g e

    action in the region. The manufacturing units have a separate department to handle

    dealer complaints and problems and the first response is always given in 24 hours.

    Financial PlanningThe Hero Group benefits from the Group Chairman's financial acumen and his grasp on

    technology, manufacturing and marketing. Group Company, Hero Cycles Limited has one of the

    highest labor productivity rates in the world. In Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)

    Motors Limited, the focus is on financial and raw material management and a low employee

    turnover.

    Quality

    Quality at Hero is attained not just by modern plants and equipment and through latest

    technology, but by enforcing a strict discipline. At the Group factories, attaining quality

    standards is an everyday practice - a strictly pursued discipline. It comes from an

    amalgamation of the latest technology with deep-rooted experience derived from nearly four

    decades of hard labor. It is an attitude that masters the challenge of growth and change - change

    in consumers' perceptions about products and new aspirations arising from a new generation of

    buyers.

    Constant technology up gradation ensures that the Group stays in the global mainstream and

    maintains its competitive edge. With each of its foreign collaborations, the Group goes onto

    strengthen its quality measures as per the book. The Group also employs the services of

    independent experts from around the world to assist in new design and production processes.

    Diversification

    Throughout the years of enormous growth, the Group Chairman, Mr. Lall has actively looked at

    diversification. A considerable level of backward integration in its manufacturing

    activities has been ample in the Group's growth and led to the establishment of the

    Hero Cycles Cold Rolling Division, Munjal and Sunbeam Castings, Munjal Auto Components

    and Munjal Showa Limited amongst other component-manufacturing units.

    Then there were the expansion into the automotive segment with the setting up of Majestic Auto

    Limited, where the first indigenously designed moped, Hero Majestic, went into commercial

    Research Methodology

    Research methodology is considered as the nerve of the project. Without a proper well-organizedresearch plan, it is impossible to complete the project and reach to any conclusion. The project

    was based on the survey plan. The main objective of survey was to collect appropriate data,

    which work as a base for drawing conclusion and getting result.

    Therefore, research methodology is the way to systematically solve the research problem.

    Research methodology not only talks of the methods but also logic behind the methods used in

    the context of a research study and it explains why a particular method has been used in the

    preference of the other methods

    Research design

    Research design is important primarily because of the increased complexity in the market as well

    as marketing approaches available to the researchers. In fact, it is the key to the evolution of

    successful marketing strategies and programmers. It is an important tool to study buyers

    behavior, consumption pattern, brand loyalty, and focus market changes. A research design

    specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a particular study. According to Kerlinger,

    Research Design is a plan, conceptual structure, and strategy of investigation conceived as to

    obtain answers to research questions and to control variance.

    Type of research is Descriptive Research

    The type of research adopted for study is descriptive. Descriptive studies are undertaken in many

    circumstances when the researches is interested to know the characteristic of certain group such

    as age, sex, education level, occupation or income. A descriptive study may be necessary in

    cases when a researcher is interested in knowing the proportion of people in a given population

    who have in particular manner, making projections of a certain thing, or determining the

    relationship between two or more variables. The objective of such study is to answer the who,

    what, when, where and how of the subject under investigation. There is a general feeling that

    descriptive studies are factual and very simple. This is not necessarily true. Descriptive study can

    be complex, demanding a high degree of scientific skill on part of the researcher.

    Descriptive studies are well structured. An exploratory study needs to be flexible in its approach,

    but a descriptive study in contrast tends to be rigid and its approach cannot be changed every

    now and then. It is therefore necessary, the researcher give sufficient thought to framingresearch.

    Questions and deciding the types of data to be collected and the procedure to be used in this

    purpose. Descriptive studies can be divided into two broad categories: Cross Sectional and

    Longitudinal Sectional. A cross sectional study is concerned with a sample of elements from a

    given population. Thus, it may deal with household, dealers, retail stores, or other entities. Data

    on a number of characteristics from sample elements are collected and analyzed. Cross sectional

    studies are of two types: Field study and Survey. Although the distinction between them is not

    clear- cut , there are some practical differences, which need different techniques and skills. Field

    studies are ex-post-factor scientific inquiries that aim at finding the relations and interrelations

    among variables in a real setting. Such studies are done in live situations like communities,

    schools, factories, and organizations.

    Another type of cross sectional study is survey result, which has been taken by me. A major

    strength of survey research is its wide scope. Detail information can be obtained from a sample

    of large population .Besides; it is economical as more information can be collected per unit of

    cost. In addition, it is obvious that a sample survey needs less time than a census inquiry.

    Descriptive research includes survey and fact finding enquiries of different kinds of the major

    purpose. Descriptive research is description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present. The

    main characteristic of this method is that the researcher has no control over the variables; he can

    only report what has happened or what is happening. The methods of research utilized in

    descriptive research are survey methods of all kinds including comparative and co relational

    methods. The reason for using such needs to be flexile in its approach, but a descriptive study

    BRANCH1 2 3 in contrast tends to be rigid and its approach cannot be changed ever now

    and then.
