HUL’s Contribution in Rural Marketing
Project SHAKTI
Started in 2001, Shakti is HUL's rural initiative, which targets small villages with population of less than 2000 people or less.
Micro-enterprise opportunities for rural women .
The aim of the project was to increase
the company’s rural distribution
reach as well as providing rural women with income-generating opportunities.
This is a case where the social goals are helping achieve business goals.
Shakti has already been extended to about 15 states, 80,000 villages with 45,000 women entrepreneurs and generating Rs.700-1000 per month to each women.
States covered by Project Shakti
HOW IT WORKED?• Villages with a population of about 2000-3000 were selected.• Personnel from HUL approached SHGs.• Selection of the Shakti Amma.• HUL vouches for Shakti Ammas with banks from credit.• One Shakti entrepreneur is appointed for one village & villages
are about 2 kilometres apart from her village.• The Shakti dealer places initial orders worth Rs.15000 from
principal customer of HUL• The Shakti dealer organizes a “Shakti Day” in the village where
she displays products & free gifts
• The recruitment of a Shakti Entrepreneur or Shakti Amma (SA) begined with the executives of HUL identifying the uncovered village.
• The representative of the company would meet the panchayat and the village head and identify the woman who they believe will be suitable as a SA.
• After training she is asked to put up Rs 20,000 as investment which is used to buy products for selling. The products are then sold door-to-door or through petty shops at home.
• On an average a Shakti Amma makes a 10% margin on the products she sells.
WHY SHAKTI???It was soon felt that HUL's sales and distribution system
which had protected it from competitors would be soon replicated by its rivals and to maintain its edge, the company had to increase its reach beyond the urban markets
More than 70% of India's population lived in villages and made a big market for the FMCG industry
