ANALYSIS ON DIVERSIFICATION
ITC has been a leader in the tobacco business, but it realize from the up coming trendsthat
remaining with a single business is not a noble thought, moreover the company wasthreatened of
the anti-tobacco campaign. Therefore the company decided to venture intoInfoTech with ITC
InfoTech, foods via Kitchens ofIndia, greeting cards throughExpressions and lifestyle retailing
through Wills Sport. Each of these is intended to drawrevenues of at least Rs. 250 crore by 2005.
ITC was a cash rich company with a liquidity of Rs.8816 million in the cigarettebusiness, even
though the company understood the need and usefulness of diversification.The writer in the
article is mainly concerned with the way ITC spreads its wings in thelifestyle segments, he
writes: forty-five stores in 34 cities in just under a year, selling anexpensive fashion brand of
relaxed-wear. If retail swamp-out and brand salience were thegoals, ITCs Wills Sport would be
on a victory lap already.
The company has started its retail stores not only in Indian metros but also in the smalltowns like
Ranchi, Jabalpur, Gwalior, Belguam, Ernakulam etc. the article also talksabout the strong market
campaign done by the company, it also describe how thecompany has used its brand image to
attract the Indian youth. It also tells about thestrategy adopted by the company to differentiate
itself in this segment, like the companyis outsourcing its designs formthe American Design
Intelligence Group (ADIG), a SanFrancisco, US-based garment and retail consultancy. Now it
has its own six-memberteam, even as it continues a tie-up with Science & Designs, an Italian
fashion designhouse through which it keeps a watch on hot western labels such as Banana
Republicand Armani Exchange

the World's most high profile consumer operations. Its businesses and brands are focused

hotels, paper, agriculture, packaged foods and confectionary, branded apparel, personal
care, greetings cards, Information Technology, safety matches, incense sticks and
stationery. Examples of its successful new FMCG products include:
Aashirvaad - India's most popular atta brand with over 50% market share. It is also
present in spices and instant mixes.
Mint-o - Mint-0 Fresh is the largest cough lozenge brand in India.
Bingo! - a new introduction of finger snacks.
Kitchens ofIndia - pre-prepared foods designed by ITC's master chefs.
Sunfeast - is ITC's biscuit brand (and the sub-brand is also used on some pasta products).
