Pepsi in World:
Pepsi has one of the most interesting histories of any product in the market. From its
humble beginnings the people of Pepsi make the story what it is - including its inventor,
customers, competition, corporate managers, salesmen, distributors, cartoon spokes-persons and including some of the biggest names in entertainment history. There have
been good times and bad times - plus lots and lots of changes over the years.
Pepsis beginning:
The summer of 1898, as usual, was hot and humid in New Bern, North Carolina. So a
young pharmacist named Caleb Bradham began experimenting with combinations of
spices, juices, and syrups trying to create a refreshing new drink to serve his customers.
He succeeded beyond all expectations because he invented the beverage known around
the world as Pepsi-Cola.
His creation, a unique mixture of kola nut extract, vanilla and rare oils, became so
popular his customers named it "Brad's Drink." Caleb decided to rename it "Pepsi-Cola,"
and advertised his new soft drink. People responded, and sales of Pepsi-Cola started to
grow, convincing him that he should form a company to market the new beverage.
Pepsi in Pakistan:
The market in Pakistan is surely dominated by Pepsi. It has proved itself to be the
No.1 soft drink in Pakistan. Now a days Pepsi is recognized as Pakistanis National drink.

In 1971, first plant of Pepsi was constructed in Multan, and from their after Pepsi is going
higher and higher.
Pepsi's greatest rival is Coca Cola. Coca Cola has an international recognizedbrand. Cokes basic strength is its brand name. But Pepsi with its aggressive marketing
planning and quick diversification in creating and promoting new ideas and product
packaging, is successfully maintaining is No.1 position in Pakistan. In coming future
Pepsi is also planning to enter into the field of fruit drinks. For this it has test marketed its
mango juice in Karachi for the first time.
When Pepsi was introduced in Pakistan, it faced fearce competition with 7up,
lemon and lime drinks, which was established during 1968, in Multan. Pepsi introduced
its lemon and lime, "Teem" to compete with 7up.After some years, Pepsi took over 7up,
and this enhanced Pepsi's profits and market share. In Pakistan, Pepsi with 7up enjoys
68% of the market share where as the coke just has 20% market shares.
