O bservations [8]In a Crowded market a product can still be launched provided the product differentiates
itself from the competitive products in a visible way. Also the product if consumer friendly (it was kept below star plus in the frequency of
broadcasting) can be accepted by the consumers even if other cheaper alternatives are available (Sahara one has less rent but still not preferred)
