EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report constitutes description of the different industries visited as a part of curriculum
subject of Business Exposure and captures the learning experiences of all the industries visited by
me and our fellow classmates of S.Y BBM(IB) along with our faculty members. Primary objective
of the visit was to get exposed to the general nature of International Business. To enhance the
awareness students towards study and use of Trade and Industry directories, business websites and
published data and information relating to Indent House, International Business Transactions,
Foreign Exchange Department of the Bank, Foreign trade Brokers, Agents, Agri business etc.
Current ways of industrial production and to see the application of all the management
aspects in the industries in practical and on the floor operations to gain the perspective of overall
what exactly a industry looks like what is its structure hierarchy people employed demand and
supply promotions use of new technologies and etc.
This was done by gaining information about the industries, market conditions and actual visits.
Specific attention was provided about International Trade of the visiting industries, exports,
international selling price and rates to fathom out the information about those industries and their
product market. Extracted information was in turn utilized for drawing inferences and learning
product trading and company tactics for innovation. Sales promotion in form of demonstrations is
also a part of these industries.

INDUSTRIAL VISIT REPORT

2nd January 2016
ADDRESS : AT POST, VILLAGE DONVAT, TALUKA KHALAPUR,, DISTRICT RAIGAD,
Khopoli - 401203, Maharashtra, India
Sub: Report on the industrial visit at PARLE INDUSTRIES RAIGAD.
PARLE INDUSTRIES Khalapur, BBM IB and BBA students with faculty members went on
an industrial visit to the factory on 02-01-2016. We all assembled at the college at 6 a.m. and
left the college in our college bus .We reached the factory at 1 oclock.
The HR head of parle industries Mr. Kishor Shelke received us at the entrance and gave a brief
introduction to the factory.
Parle Factory Over here we were shown the processes involved in manufacture of Parle-G
biscuits, a popular biscuit brand of Parle Foods. Initially we were shown a half an hour long
promotional film of Parle. The theme of the film was that of two kids who in their dreams are
taken into the Parle World by Chachaji (Parle Character).The entire process involved in making
of the Parle biscuits and confectionaries were shown in the film. After the screening were taken
to the shop floor, where the actual process was shown. Then he took us around from one
section to the next and explained the process involved in the making of biscuits. The workers
were doing the work concentrated. Everyone was wearing masks. He showed raw material
which are Wheat Flour,Sugar and Salt, Edible Vegetable Oils, InvertSyrup, Skimmed Milk
Powder,Leavening Agents, Permitted Emulsifier, Flavor, Dough Conditioners.
Then we see different process of manufacturing:1 : Mixing of the ingredients Wheat flour , Edible oil , Skimmed Milk Powder , Sugar Then it
goes to a dough making machine which is associated with a roller which moulds the dough to
a particular shape. The dough is passed through a die/mould to be given the desired shape and
size of biscuit.
2: After molding it takes a unique shape of Parle-G with its brand name embedded on it.

3: After that it passes through a conveyer,the conveyer passes for baking process through a
series of oven.The temperature maintained is in between 180 c to 330c. The ASIAs largest
oven is used in this plant.
4: After the baking process, the biscuits are allowed to cool down. In the process, theyre
flipped over half way to ensure proper cooling from both sides. The quality of the biscuit is
neatly checked during the process by the support staffs continuously.
5: After baking it again passes through another 6 levels of conveyer belts for cooling. After
cooling of the fresh baked biscuits it is collected in a sorting machine and goes for wrapping
and packaging. They use eco friendly packaging material to avoid PVC in it. The last stage is
packing, where the biscuits are automatically sorted into queues and automatic packing
machines wrap the packing material around them.
6: The packets so obtained are packed manually by labourers and sent to a CFC packing unit
which seals the CFC The capacity of production line is around 1 tonne/day. There were two
production lines for Parle G alone. The factory also had similar setup for its other brands
Milano and Hide and Seek. However we were not having permission to visit those facilities.
Then the packets are collected through a channel and sent to go down for distribution.The
quality is not compromised any process so the product has to pass through several QC
processes.

We left the premises at 4p.m.It was an informative, interesting and a successful visit. As students
of BBM IB. We learned about production and execution. We express our thanks to the faculty
members who accompanied us and the officials who explained the various departments.
OBSERVATION
A major observation that came out was that the numbers of labourers involved in large scale
industries for actual processes were very less and a major share of employment was for ancillary
activities like housekeeping, packaging etc.

Parle Company practices mass marketing for Parle- G which appeals to masses. It is a
product liked by everyone and does not cater only to a specific group or part of the whole
market.

ABOUT PARLE
Parle Products was established as byconfectionery in the Vile Parle suburb of Mumbai, in
1929. It began manufacturing biscuits in 1939. In 1947, when India became independent, the
company launched an ad campaign, showcasing its Gluco brand of biscuits as an Indian
alternative to the British biscuits.
Parle-G biscuits were earlier called 'Parle Gluco' Biscuits until the 1980s. The "G" in the name
Parle-G originally stood for "Glucose", though a later brand slogan also stated "G means
Genius". They use sugar rather than glucose as the main sweet ingedient, although they do
contain some invertedsugar.
In 2015, Parle-G became India's first domestic FMCG brand to cross the 5,000 crore mark in
retail sales.

POPULARITY
Primarily eaten as a tea-time snack, Parle-G is one of the oldest brand names in India. For decades,
the product was instantly recognized by its iconic white and yellow waxpaperwrapper. The
wrapper features a young girl (an illustration by Everest creative MaganlalDaiya back in the
1960s).
Now, it is available in plastic wrapping. Design of packaging is the same as earlier. When the
company changed the packaging of Parle-G from wax paper to plastic, they made an ad of putting
Parle-G in fish tank.
As of January 2013, Parle-G's strong distribution network covered over 6 million retail stores in
India.TheBrandTrustReport ranked Parle-G as the 42nd most trusted brand of India in 2014.
The low price is another important factor in Parle-G's popularity. Outside India, it is sold for 99
cents for a 418 gram pack as of 2012. A more common 80 gram "snack pack" is sold for as low as
15 cents( 5 INR) at Indian grocers, and 40 cents at major retailers.

ECONOMIC TIMES
Parle-G, the glucose biscuit brand from the country's largest biscuit maker Parle Products, has
consolidated its position as the world's largest selling biscuit brand, says a new report by market
researcher Nielsen.
The study, for last year, says Parle-G has topped brands like Kraft's Oreo, Wal-Mart's private labels
and Mexico's Gamesa in voulme sales to lead the Rs 11,295-crore Indian biscuits category.

The Nielsen study adds India is the world's leading market for biscuits, ahead of the US, Mexico,
China, Argentina, France, Italy, Germany, Turkey and Spain. While India showed a volume market
share of 22%, the second slot was occupied by the US at 13%. The top three countries -- India, US
and Mexico -- contribute over 40% of the total biscuits 10 largest markets for biscuits in volumes
sales.
Going by the data for the year 2009-10, the volume sales of Parle-G is bigger than the fourth
largest biscuit consuming country China.
Industry analysts say the Rs 5,000-crore Parle's focus on the volumes segment and competitive
pricing backed by strong distribution, especially in rural markets has led the rise.

Of the overall 40 brands across biscuits, chips and confectionery that Parle Products makes, ParleG contributes 50% to the firm's topline, Parle Products group product manager Mayank Shah said.
"Though Parle-G is available across multiple packs spanning Re 1 to Rs 50, our top selling packs
are priced at Rs 4 and Rs 5," Shah said.
The brand is exported to SAARC countries, the US, Europe and parts of Africa.
With universal acceptance, affordable packs and wide distribution, the category has been attracting
players ranging from cola and snacks maker PepsiCo, to cooking oils firm Marico, to milk foods
drinks maker GlaxoSmithKline.
The category has been a traditional stronghold of Parle and Britannia, followed by ITC, Cremica
and Priyagold. UK's United Biscuits launched McVities digestives biscuits in the country last year,
while Kraft is widey speculated to be entering this space.

WILL PARLE-G BE RELEVANT TO THE NEXT GENERATION?

When you own the largest-selling biscuit brand in the world, what do you do next? That's a
question that may not quite keep the Chauhans of Parle Products awake at nights, but it sure
may have popped up a few times in the boardroom, if not at the dinner table. After all, when a
biscuit brand that's close to completing 75 years finds itself in a near-monopoly population at a
time when the demographics are skewed hopelessly towards the youth three fourths of the
population is under 35 you have to wonder: Will today's youth still be chomping on Parle-Gs a
couple of decades down the road?
`Perhaps with tomorrow in mind, Parle Products recently launched an advertising campaign the
first in a decade to hunt down 'Kalke Genius.' Created by Ogilvy India and shot by Chrome
Pictures, the campaign made waves online overnight or perhaps even before that. Law &
Kenneth which managed the social media campaign for the brand, used hashtag, #BeCurious, to
talk about the campaign and it was among the Top 5 trending topics on Twitter worldwide for a
couple of hours after launch.
If Parle has to make a noise in the market, it is also because of the presence of two formidable
rivals in the glucose segment Britannia and ITC. As of June 2012, Nielsen data indicates the
former had a share of 8.7% and ITC 8.3%. Parle still rules the roost with a 79.4% share, but with
both the competitors armed with deep pockets, the battle is going to rage on for some time to
come.
Along with competition, the glucose segment itself stands the risk of getting crowded out by a
basket of newer options, from oat and ragi cookies to digestive and milky biscuits. Agrees AJAY
CHAUHAN executive director, Parle Products: "Consumers today have acquired a taste for
10 | P a g e

'variety', which is seen by the success of multiple biscuit variants across price points. As consumer
preferences evolve, the market for biscuits as a whole will increase but the relative share of
different categories might change," he says.
Adds Nabunkar Gupta, founder, Nobby Brand Architects: "Glucose has a healthy imagery in
consumers' minds and today the health platform has gained more voice than ever. The new ad
campaign will immediately draw a larger number of customers into the space as well as refresh the
connect with the existing customers."

ADDRESS : Mohan Wadi, Khopoli, Raigad - 410203

Sub: Report on the industrial visit at Mohan Rocky Springwater Breweries Ltd.
On 2nd January 2016 our class of 2nd year BBM IB visited to MOHAN ROCKY SPRINGWATER
LTD. Khopoli . On receiving the letter of permission from Mohan Rocky Springwater Ltd. We
headed to Khopoli early morning 6 with our faculty members and assembled in the company by 10
oclock. Mohan Rocky Springwater Ltd is a beer manufacturing company.
Mohan Rocky Springwater Ltd. produces both mild and strong beers and alcohol products such as
the famous OLD MONK and beer products are Golden Eagle, Super Stud, Lion 5000,
Meakins10000. It undertakes all the process starting from the production of beer to the bottling to
packaging and packing . the customers of Mohan Rocky Springwater Ltd are wholesalers and
Defense CSD Canteen Officials, they distribute their products in Maharashtra and do not have
retailers as their direct customers.
EXPERIENCE
We all had a very great time to experience each and every process in brewing of beer. Term
Brewing is used for the process of production of beer, and the Brewer is the person who produces
the beer, with all the quality checks.

PROCESS OF BREWING AND MANUACTURING OF BEER

Raw Materials:
Alcohol can be prepared from starchy material. Hence in the initial process is to get the raw
material, which can be any starchy material, such as Rice Flakes, Barley, Malt, Sugar etc. Mohan
Breweries uses Rice Flakes and Barley or a mixture of both according to the concentration, as the
raw materials. They get Rice Flakes from the Northern India (Haryana).
Process:
Malt is prepared from the barley, by crushing and separating the husk from
it. The process is all about breaking the complex sugar in to simpler forms.
Mixture of water, Rice Flakes, Malt is mixed in the mashing tank which
generates Sweet Barley water, which is nothing but the mixture of Glucose,
Fructose and Maltose.

Water + Rice Flakes + Malt Water

Put into

12 | P a g e

Mashing Tanks

Mashing Tank

Output
Sweet Barley
(Glucose + Fructose + Maltose)
Temperature of 77-80 degree Celsius is maintained inside the mashing tank and the continuous
stirring process is done, which takes 4 hours to produce the sweet barley water, and the by product
is the cattle feed.
Barley water thus produced is tested with iodine to find the proper concentration and the quality.
All the process of brewing in Mohan Rocky Breweries Ltd. Undertake In-process Quality Control,
such as Chemical Process - Iodine test, Physical Process - Turbidity test, Gravity Test etc.
Barley Water is then put into the Whirlpool tank and the temperature of 10-20 degree Celsius is
maintained. Tank is made up of copper, where HOPS LEAFS (Imported from Germany) are added
to add the bitterness and the aroma in the beer. The output of the whirlpool tank is called WORT.
Fermentation:
It is called as the heart of any brewing process, because it is the cardinal process in the
manufacturing of beer.
WORT produced in the earlier process is put into the tank and the Peach & yeast are added and the
Bottom Fermentation is done, and the Aerobic and Anaerobic reaction is carried out. It takes
duration of 8-10 days to produce C2H5OH(Ethanol) or Alcohol.This process is called bottom
fermentation because, the yeast after fermentation gets settled down and removed.
Again second fermentation process is carried out and the settled down yeast are taken away. The
temperature in this process is maintained at 0 degree Celsius for 22 days.
DELLA TOFFOLA is a machinery container where the concentrated material prepared in the
earlier process are put in and the yeast is removed, in addition to this, filtration and the polishing of
the beer is done, hence this make the beer more clear and shiny.
Carbonization:
Carbonization is the process by which CO2 is added to the beer produced from the above process.
Again the second carbonization process is carried our, where temperature is maintained at zero
degree and more Carbon Dioxide is added to the liquid manually.
Bottling:
All the empty bottles are brought in the bottling plant where the bottles are washed, sterilized and
made germ free and clean. These bottles are then used for filling up the beer.
13 | P a g e

Tunnel Pasteurization:
Beers once filled in bottles and capped, then it goes along Pasteurization process which increases
its shelf life from 24 hour to 6 months. In this process, the rain of warm water (60 degree Celsius)
are poured over the filled and capped bottles, hence increases the shelf life. This process is called
Tunnel Pasteurization.
Labeling and Packaging:
It is among the final process, in which the labels are sticked over the bottles and the final product
are packed in the group of 6 bottles per carton using the hydraulic machine.
INPROCESS QUALITY CONTROL
3 tests are performed by Mohan industry in manufacturing of beer:

Turbidity Test.
Gravity Test.
Iodine Test for Sugar

FACTS

0.31% of Glycerine is added to Beer.

Production capacity is 1 Lakh bottles per day.
Cases are 1.54 Lakh bottles per month.
By-product that come out of Mashing Tank is used for cattle feed.

The Manufacturing Process:

Typesetting
Modern technology has replaced the Linotype process through a method called phototypesetting.
The first step in this process is the transfer of the dummy to the page layout section of the
newspaper. There, an operator transfers the instructions on the dummy into a rough page prototype.
A printed version may be looked over and adjusted several times by one of the reporters whose
story is featured as well as by the copy editor. If another breaking story comes in, this page layout
can be altered in a matter of minutes.
Image transference
At the printing center, typically a large plant separate from the newspaper's editorial offices and
centrally located to facilitate citywide distribution, the pages arrive at the laser room and are put
through a laser writer, another scanning device that makes a negative image of them. In the
negative image of the page, the text is white while the blank spaces are black. The final images of
each page are further adjusted. This last-minute adjustment may involve fine-tuning of the colored
sections and retouching photographs.
Plate making
From these negatives, the forms from which the paper will be printed are composed in a plate
making room. The film of the page, usually done two pages at a time, is then placed on a lighted
box. Next, an aluminum plate containing a light-sensitive coating is placed on top of the image of
the pages. The light box is then switched on, and ultra violet light develops the image of the pages
onto the aluminum plate. The aluminum plate is then bent at the edges so that it will fit into a
press, and is fitted onto plate cylinders.
Printing
The plate cylinders then press the image of the page onto a blanket cylinder, leaving a version of
the page's image on the cylinder's soft material. When the paper runs through the press, the blanket
cylinder presses the image onto it. The chemical reaction of the ink, which contains oil, and the
squirting of jets of water into the process result in the actual newspaper page of black or colored
images on a white back-ground. Since oil and water do not mix, the areas where ink should adhere
to the page are black or colored, and water washes away the parts where ink is not needed. This is
why this printing process is referred to as "offset."

18 | P a g e

Next, the large sheets of printed newsprint move on to another large piece of machinery called a
folder. There, the pages are cut individually and folded in order. This entire printing process can
move as fast as 60,000 copies per hour. Quality control technicians and supervisors take random
copies and scan them for printing malfunctions in color, order, and readability. Next, a conveyer
belt moves the papers into a mail room section of the plant, where they are stacked into quires, or
bundles of 24. The quires then move to another section where a machine wraps them in plastic.
The bundles are now ready to be loaded onto delivery trucks for distribution.
The plant of Hadapsar Sakal times is established in 2002. There are two shift for print paper. Every
shift contain 100 employees. There are no female employee worked. The main branch of this Sakal
news paper is Shivajinagar. In this factory, 5 machine on working process and one machine is on
reserved basis. When some crisis or a machine failure atthat time reserved machine was used and
the production process will processing. The cost of production of one news paper is only Rs 1.50
and the selling price of per news paper is Rs 4.
We left the premises at 4 p.m.It was an informative, interesting and a successful visit. As students
of BBM IB, We learned about production and execution. We express our thanks to the Principal
who permitted us to go on the visit, the faculty members who accompanied us and the officials
who explained the various departments.

INDUSTRY VISIT TO TATA MOTORS

ADDRESS : Telco Road, Pimpri, Pune - 411018, Near KSB Chowk
ABOUT VISIT
TATA MOTORS formerly known as TELCO (TATA Engineering and Locomotive Company)
As a part of our business exposure subject students and our college faculties planned different
industries to visit and one of them were TATA MOTORS .
21 | P a g e

Visiting TATA MOTORS was one of our most memorable industry visits.
We left from our college at 9.30 am and reached there about 10. As soon as we reached there we
were made to sit in the visitors lounge which was spacious for over 100 people and were served on
our arrival. Our classes of BBM and BBA was then introduced to the visiting manager incharge of
TATA MOTORS where we were shown a short film on TATA GROUP and its lineage of
successors, company history, company values, R&D , developments and innovations , company
plans, customer relations , and evolution of the company was entirely covered in the movie .
Then we had interaction and question and answer session with the TATA MOTORS official and
were enlightened about all the amazing facts about this giant automobile industry.
Followed by Q & A session and informative session we left the admin visitors building and were
picked by TATA WINGER cabs without shield customized for site and actual industry visits. Our
driver were our guides who explained our groups the whole 12 km visiting zones sites to assembly
dies shop, paint shop, assembly lines of different models of cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, etc.
Our drivers were amazing as they had years of experience and explained to us every single shops
and assembly lines while driving our drive by visit. We also saw the testing tracks of TATA
MOTORS and soon to be launched models of Defence and TATA vehicles. The whole experience
was very enthralling and after our visit we were taken to the canteen of Tata Motors and we had
lunch there and as a part of Tata culture food is free at Tata Motors for its employees and even for
the visitors. So, after the lunch we went to admin departments visitors arena to meet the HR but
unfortunately HR was not available at the moment for the session so we stayed there for a while
clicked pictures , greeted the representative of TATA MOTORS and meanwhile our bus arrived as
scheduled and we left.
Personally for me it was a lifetime privilege visiting such a huge organization where its values,
consumer based approach for its customer and zero defect policy are the core of the company and

Brief Overview of Tata Motor

Tata Motors is a part of the Tata Group manages its share-holding through Tata Sons. The company
was established in 1935 as a locomotive manufacturing unit and later expanded its operations to
commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz AG of
Germany. Despite the success of its commercial vehicles, Tata realized his company had to
diversify and he began to look at other products. Based on consumer demand, he decided that
building a small car would be the most practical new venture. So in 1998 it launched Tata Indica,

Bajaj Auto bought a controlling stake in the Tempo Firodia company, renaming it "Bajaj Tempo".
Germany's Daimler-Benz, a long-time collaborator with Firodia because of their ownership of the
original Tempo works in Germany, owned 16% of Bajaj Tempo. Daimler sold their stake back to
the Firodia group in 2001, meaning that they once again held a controlling interest, with BAL
retaining 24% of the shares. It was agreed that Bajaj Tempo would gradually phase out the use of
the "Tempo" brand name, as it still belonged to Mercedes-Benz.[19] The name of the company
was changed to Force Motors in May 2005, dropping "Bajaj" as well as "Tempo",over the
objections of Bajaj Auto with whom the company shares a long history as well as a compound
wall..
KTM Power Sports AG
In November 2007, Bajaj Auto acquired 14.5% stake in KTM Power Sports AG (holding company
of KTM Sportmotorcycles AG). The two companies have signed a cooperation deal, by which
KTM will provide the know-how for joint development of the water-cooled four-stroke 125 and
250 cc engines, and Bajaj will take over the distribution of KTM products in India and some other
Southeast Asian nations. As on 31 March 2013, Bajaj Auto held 47.96% stake in the company.
