PREFACE
During the 80s, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) became the first company in India to
prove that it was possible to drive a vehicle without polluting the roads. The company introduced
new generation motorcycles that set industry benchmarks for fuel thrift and low emission. A
legendary 'Fill it - Shut it - Forget it' campaign captured the imagination of commuters across
India, and Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) sold millions of bikes purely on the
commitment of increased mileage. In today world customer is the king irrespective of whatever
the business may be ,wherever the operations may be .A good business organization is known
by its strong customer loyalty, which turns to become a unified family.
The project assigned to me by the company was a market study on 100cc bikes among the
dealers and customers with special reference to Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) dealer
and loyalty of customers towards the bike. The objective of the study was to find out the dealers
and customers opinion about the 100cc bikes with special reference to Hero Moto Corp
(previously Hero Honda) dealer to understand how market fluctuations affect their strategic
decision. The research methodology was descriptive in nature encompassing a sample of
200customers for in-depth analysis It was observed that 80%of the respondents are interested to
purchase Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) motor vehicle .are in the age group of 18-35.
A large part of respondents with majority of 60% are satisfied with the availability of spare part
and remaining 40% says no. It was observed that the 92% resplendence are either highly satisfied
are just satisfied and remaining 8% are dissatisfied. Different models Hero Moto Corp
(previously Hero Honda) vehicles can be introduced for ladies, with better comfort, speed and
power, so that it can cater to the changing tastes of women.

More service station should be established in every part of the city, so those customers have an
easy accessibility. With a strong sales and service network of 650 Authorized dealership, 1500
authorized service centers and over 1000 certified service points, Hero Moto Corp (previously
Hero Honda) is growing from strength to strength. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)
motor should also start producing other models and should add a different style and variety to
their product line. This will surely attract more customers. This will help to increase the existing
goodwill and position in the market. The experience gained during the analysis and drawing
inferences was an exciting and informative exercise under the guidance of unit head.

INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC
HISTORYABOUT THE CHAIRMAN
Brijmohan Lall MunjalSeeding a Dream
"Don't dream if you can't fulfill your dreams'' Brijmohan Lall Munjal is often fond of saying. The
founder and patriarch of the $ 2.8 billion Hero Group is your classic first generation
entrepreneur. He is a man who started small, dreamt big and used a combination of grit and
perseverance to create one of the country's largest corporate groups and the World's No.1 Two
Wheeler Company. Instinctive from a young age, Brijmohan Lall made a rather unusual start in
life. Around the time when the freedom movement in India was taking shape in the late 1920s,
he walked into a newly opened Gurukul (Indian heritage school) near his home in Kamalia (now
in Pakistan). He was only six years old then. Thus began an extraordinary tale of courage and
perseverance. Brijmohan began his business story after partition in 1947, when he and his
brothers relocated to Ludhiana. The family set up a company that provided poor people with
basic transport (cycles). Three decades later, as India evolved, he added a second crucial chapterwhich visualized affordable and technologically superior transport to millions of middle class
Indians. The rest is history.
Building Relationships When Brijmohan and his brothers started out, there was no concept of
organized dealer networks. Companies just produced, and most dealers functioned like traders.
Brijmohan changed the rules of the business by trusting his gut instincts; introducing business
norms that were ahead of their time, and by investing in strategic relationships. Brijmohan built a
series of bonds and networks with hundreds of family members, vendors, dealers and employees.Much like the Japanese keiretsu system, these networks are now the glue that holds the Hero
Group together. "Thanks to the relationships that we have nurtured so passionately in the Hero
Family, the younger generations of some of our bicycle dealers have become dealers of Hero
Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda). These relationships have survived through generations -
through bad times and good times'' the patriarch now reminiscences. Besides bonding with his

vendors and dealers, Brijmohan has been personally responsible for kindling a spirit of
entrepreneurship amongst his employees, and today, 40 of his former employees are successful
entrepreneurs.
Staying Ahead Though not technically qualified in the conventional sense, few of his
contemporaries have understood the dynamics of technology better than Brijmohan Lall has. He
could always visualize the applicability of technology before others could. For example, in the
1980s, when all two-wheeler companies in India opted for two-stroke engine technology,
Brijmohan preferred a four-stoke engine - a technology that dramatically increased fuel
efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. This technology was one of the biggest reasons for
Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)'s stupendous success. Time and again, Brijmohanmanaged to steal a march over his industry peers. For example, when Honda Motors of Japan
was looking for a collaborator in the 1980s, the Hero Group was not high up the pecking order
initially as there were other more eligible and established suitors. Yet it didn't take long for the
astute Japanese to realize that the Hero Group and Honda had much more in common than earlier
perceived; there a sharp focus on financial and raw material management, and employee turnover
was low. Honda officials were also amazed to find that the Munjals were already practicing
"Just-in-time-inventory" at the time (JIT). It turned out that Brijmohan Lall's aspiration to
provide cheap transportation to India's poor by default ensured lean and costeffective operations.
This in turn increased vendor efficiency and led to near-zero inventories.
A Corporate Citizen A frugal upbringing and a value system modeled on the famous Gurukul
system - which stresses the sanctity of the teacher-pupil relationship - imbibed in Brijmohan a
strong sense of social commitment and responsibility. There is a special place in his heart for
Ludhiana, the city where he took roots. Today, Ludhiana is a modern, bustling city, but
Brijmohan has played no mean role in its evolution. Several schools and educational institutions
in Ludhiana owe their existence to the Munjal family. The Ludhiana Stock Exchange owes its
existence to Brijmohan's vision as does the Ludhiana Flying Club. He's also set up the not-
forprofit Dayanand Medical College and Hospital-an institute now rated as one of the best
medical colleges in India, in terms of infrastructure, quality of staff and alumni profile. In and
around Dharuhera, near the first Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) plant, Brijmohan and

his family have left their stamp of philanthropy. The Raman Kant Munjal Foundation - which
Brijmohan set up in memory of his eldest son, today runs a higher secondary school and a very
modern and well-equipped 100-bed hospital at Dharuhera. The group has also adopted numerousvillages and provides education, vocational training, drinking water, roads, streetlights and
sewerage.

AUTO INDUSTRY- A REVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The Rs. 5500 crore Indian two wheeler segment is the second largest market fin the world after
China. Indias two wheeler production is the third largest in the world after Japan and China.
India has a welldeveloped two wheeler market with around 25 million households owning two-
wheeler. The Indian two wheeler industry made a modest beginning in the early 1950 when
Automobile Product of India ( API ) started manufacturing scooter in India. Until 1958. API and
Enfield( motorcycle) were the only two in production. In 1948, Bajaj auto began trading in
imported Vespa scooter and the threewheeler- finally, in 1960s. it set up shop to manufacturer
them in technical collaboration with piggaio of Italy. The agreement expired in 1971. In the
initial stages, the scooters segment was regulated regime, foreign company was not allowed to
operate in India, and waiting time for getting Bajaj scooters was as high as 12 years. Java, and
escort. While the Enfield bullet was a four strokes bike, the Java and Rajdoot were two-strokes
bikes. The motorcycles industry was originally dominated by Enfield with 350 cc bikes. The
motorcycles industry was cc segment. The two wheelers segment was opened up to foreign
competition in the mid 1980s which saw the entry of the Japanese manufactures into the count

COMPANY PROFILE
The Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) story began with a simple vision the vision of amobile and an empowered India, powered by Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda). This
vision was driven by Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)'s commitment to customer,
quality and excellence, and while doing so, maintain the highest standards of ethics and societal
responsibilities. Twenty five years and 25 million two wheelers later, Hero Moto Corp
(previously Hero Honda) is closer to fulfilling this dream. This vision is the driving force behind
everything that we do at Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda). We understood that the
fastest way to turn that dream into a reality is by remaining focused on that vision. There were
many unknowns but we kept faith, and today, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) has
been the largest two wheeler company in the world for eight consecutive years. Our growth has
kept compounding. The company crossed the ten million unit milestone over a 19-year span. In
the new millennium, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) has scaled this to 15 million
units in just five years! In fact, during the year in review, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero
Honda) sold more two wheelers than the second, third and fourth placed two wheeler company
put together. With Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda), the domestic two wheeler market
was able to show positive growth during the year in review. Without Hero Moto Corp
(previously Hero Honda), the domestic market would have actually shrunk. Over the course of
two and a half decades, and three successive joint venture agreements later, both partners have
fine-tuned and perfected their roles as joint venture partners. What the two partners did was
something quite basic. They simply stuck to their respective strengths. As one of the world's
technology leaders in the automotive sector, Honda has been able to consistently provide
technical knowhow, design specifications and R&D innovations. This has led to the development
of world class, value - for- money motorcycles and scooters for the Indian market. On its part,the Hero Group has taken on the singular and onerous responsibility of creating world-class
manufacturing facilities with robust processes, building the supply chain, setting up an extensive
distribution networks and providing insights into the mind of the Indian customer. Since both
partners continue to focus on their respective strengths, they have been able to complement each
other. In the process, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) is recognized today as one of the
-
7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)
14/82
14 | P a g e
most successful joint ventures in the world. It is therefore no surprise that there are more Hero
Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) bikes on this country's roads than the total population of
some European countries put together! The company's meteoric growth in the two-wheelermarket in India stems from an intrinsic ability to reach out and come closer to its customers, with
every passing year. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)'s bikes are sold and serviced
through a network of over 3500 customer touch points, comprising a mix of dealers, service
centres and stockists located across rural and urban India. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero
Honda) has built two world-class manufacturing facilities at Dharuhera and Gurgaon in Haryana,
and its third and most sophisticated plant at Haridwar has just completed a full year of
operations. It is difficult to imagine that all this has happened in the span of just two and a half
decades! The best is yet to come. During the year in review, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero
Honda) powered its way in a market that, for all practical purposes, was feeling the full effects of
the economic slowdown in India. With an economic recovery now clearly on the cards, Hero
Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) is all set to ride into another summit. As Brijmohan Lall
Munjal, the Chairman, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) Motors succinctly puts it, "We
pioneered India's two wheeler industry, we've steered it through difficult times; now it is our
responsibility to set the pace again.''
New Models The company has a large portfolio of brands, with the moneyspinners being mainly
Splendor Plus (the world's largest selling bike) and Passion. However, the company claims it was
the launch of the 150cc CBZ and 225cc KARIZMA which established Hero Moto Corp
(previously Hero Honda) as an inspirational brand. "The launch of CBZ and KARIZMA got us
into a different league altogether. Although the sales are just about 3,000 a month, it made us an
overall bike company, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) would launch a new model of
the KARIZMA by the end of current year, the Managing Director, Mr. Brijmohanlal Munjal,
said. Meanwhile, the company is yet to decide on the location of its proposed Fourth
manufacturing unit. The feasibility study is on' ', he said, adding that the new plant was likely to
come up in the next 18 months. New launches are likely to help Hero Moto Corp (previously
Hero Honda) gain a market share in the coming quarters. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero
Honda) Motors Ltd, has launched a new 100-cc four-stroke bike, CD deluxe and Dawn is likely

to be phased out of the market once the new model sells ``10,000 plus'' units per month. Sales
Performance Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) went against the grain and created a
growth trajectory all of its own. Sales of the company grew by over 11 per cent in volume termsand in value terms; they grew by over 19 per cent. Effectively, this helped the company end the
year with a market share of around 60 per cent. This robust performance helped the company
increase earnings margin 120 basis pointsa remarkable feat, considering that elsewhere in the
world, the automobile industry went through its worst year in recent history.
Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)s performance in its silver jubilee year helped it retain
its position as the worlds largest two wheeler company for the eighth year in a row. It also
helped the company cross the 25 million unit markbecoming the first company in India toreach this milestone. Last year, two new models were launched, namely CBZ XTREME and
HUNK to address super-style and economy segments. Passion pro has found its position firm
amongst Indian models, only next to Splendor, the largest selling bike in the world in terms of
sales performance. CBZ was re-launched as CBZ XTREME, in April 2007, with changes and
value additions to cater to specific needs of the customers. Reportedly CBZ XTREME is doing
well in its segments and has sold over 10,000 units in the initial months itself. Hero Moto Corp
(previously Hero Honda) has targeted a sale of over 3 million bikes for the year 2009-10. This
effort is supplemented by a major launch this year, in October end; this bike will have some
exclusive features and will be in the 200cc plus range. There are some ambitious programmes of
launching a new range of bikes with technical support from Honda in the coming years. With a
slew of such measures the capacity available at present locations can at best support two-million
production target at the existing plants. The company, therefore, is looking at the possibility of
setting up a third plant to meet the future demand and for which techno-economic study is in
progress.
New Initiatives Customer and customer satisfaction is the purpose of our being an entity. To
increasingly understand him and make him part of our ongoing business. Customer related
initiative has been the increase of warranty period to three years since July 2008. This has
attracted a great deal of customer attention. During the year the company has added nearly a
hundred dealerships and SSPs. In terms of sheer numbers, the network has grown by 16% during

the year 2008-09. We would endeavor to increase our reach to every corner of this country. Plans
for the future In the previous year, the domestic two-wheeler industry entered a period of de-
growth. However, this was arrested in 2008-09, largely on the back of Hero Moto Corp(previously Hero Honda)'s performance. After the blip of last year, the two-wheeler industry
went back to a growth phase, largely driven by Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) and
exports. The industry clocked total volumes of 8.5 million during the year in review, a growth of
5 per cent compared to a fall of 5 per cent in the previous year. The pace of growth was lower in
the domestic market, where the industry clocked sales of 7.43 million, a rise of only 2.60 per
cent. This, however, was a significant improvement over previous year when the industry had
shrunk by 8 per cent. Motorcycles continue to constitute the largest chunk of the two wheeler
industry, and during the year in review, accounted for four fifth of sales. Interestingly, for the
second year in succession, scooters increased their share in the two-wheeler pie from 14 per cent
to 16 per cent. This is clearly a trend reversal from the last 10 years, where the share of scooters
in the two-wheeler pie had been shrinking. Changing lifestyles among women, and the
introduction of feature-rich, high-quality scooters possibly has much to do with the revival in
demand
The entry segment made up of basic 100 cc bikes -Had started slowing two years ago, and
during the year in review, sales in this segment were down by more than 15 per cent. This could
be attributed to the fact that deluxe segment bikes have become affordable on account of a 4 per
cent excise cut, 1 per cent reduction in CST and the special package of reduction in excise duty
in December, which most manufacturers passed on to the consumers. The deluxe segment-made
up of value for money and feature-rich bikes in the 100-125 cc category-grew by 15.2 per cent.
The 125-250 cc category-grew at 8.8 per cent. The pace of growth has fallen from last year's
levels. There is no doubt that the higher interest rates have brought down growth. Nevertheless,
this segment was still able to clock a growth rate in high single digits mainly because of the
excitement caused by a slew of new models that came into this segment during the year. The
bigger story, of course, is that buyers in small-town India and rural India, as well as employees
of the state and Central government, were relatively less affected by the slowdown, and this
benefitted the two wheeler industry.

The legend of Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)
What started out as a Joint Venture between Hero Group, the world's largest bicyclemanufacturers and the Honda Motor Company of Japan, has today become the World's single
largest two wheeler Company. Coming into existence on January 19, 1984, Hero Moto Corp
(previously Hero Honda) Motors Limited gave India nothing less than a revolution on two-
wheels, made even more famous by the 'Fill it - Shut it - Forget it ' campaign. Driven by the trust
of over 5 million customers, the Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) product range today
commands a market share of 48% making it a veritable giant in the industry. Add to that
technological excellence, an expansive dealer network, and reliable after sales service, and you
have one of the most customer- friendly companies.
Customer satisfaction, a high quality product, the strength of Honda technology and the Hero
group's dynamism have helped HHML scale new frontiers and exceed limits. In the words of
Mr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal, the Chairman and Managing Director, "We will continue to make
every effort required for the development of the motorcycle industry, through new product
development, technological innovation, and investment in equipment and facilities and through

CLASSIFICATION OF THE INDUSTRY
The two-wheeler segment can be categorized into the scooter, mopeds, and motorcycles.
Motorcycles: this segment has shown the best performance in the recent years. The market
leaders in this section are Bajaj Auto. TVS, Mahindra, Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero
Honda). [The splendor is the most popular segment among motorcycles.]
Two Wheeler Industry
It wasnt an easy year for the two wheeler industry. Rising interest rates and the economicslowdown resulted in delayed consumer decision making and a rise in loan defaults. Over the
course of the year, banks withdrew financing facilities from satellite towns. The share of
financing, which had increased rapidly to 50-60 per cent of the total retail sales by early 2007,
has now come down to below 30 per This came as a major setback for the two-wheeler industry.
Ongoing government investments very clearly emphasis inclusive growth through improved
connectivity, job-creation and improving quality of life. The rural road outlay has been upped by
close to 60 per cent, the budget for the Urban Renewal Mission has been hiked by 87 per cent,
and fund allocation to the ongoing National Highways program has been upped by 23 per cent.
Importantly, India has added fresh impetus to its flagship job creation program for rural India:
the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. During 2008-09, this scheme, which
provides 100 guaranteed days of work a day for the countrys rural poor, provided employment
opportunities to more than 44 million households last year; a year ago, 33 million households
were covered. During the year, there have been important developments in two wheeler industry.
The competition has strengthened though there are hardly any new entrants into the industry.
There is an increasing emphasis on price and this has led to cost cutting efforts all across cent.
the industry, thereby, making the customer an ultimate beneficiary. The trend also saw
introduction of new motorcycles with capacity ranging from 100 to 250cc bikes. We anticipate
that many more new models will be launched during the year and provide customers plenty of
choice at competitive prices. Businesses cannot consistently grow at 25-30 per cent. Each

business has a tendency to taper and plateau after attaining a particular size. An annual growth
rate of 10-12 per cent over a period of time is extremely healthy. The TCS study rankings are
conducted at the motorcycle segment level to provide comparisons among similar groups ofmotorcycles. Motorcycles ranking highest in their respective segments for TCS are: Hero Moto
Corp (previously Hero Honda) splendor plus (best standard motorcycle segment); Bajaj pulser
(best executive motorcycle segment); Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) karizma (best
premium motorcycle segment); and Royal Enfield Bullet Electra (best cruiser motorcycle
segment). "The relatively low score for the executive segment indicates that most manufacturers
have fallen short of meeting the high expectations of these buyers,".
Production, sales growth of the industry
The two-wheeler companies have been operating at high capacities due to high growth rates
between 2009 and 2008. The growth is expected to lead to increase in the capacities from present
52 lakh units to 65 lakhs per annum in the year 2009-10, whereas the actual production estimates
by that period at an estimated growth rate of 18% is only 60 lakhs. Charts showing two-wheeler
industry growth rates Demand
In India the two-wheeler provide an easy and popular mode of personal transport for the middle
classes. With public transportation system being inadequate and ineffective the demand for the
two wheeler is likely to rise. The two-wheeler sales are expected to touch the 5 million mark by
the end of the decade as against the annual sales of 35,49,271 in 2008-09. Technology With
liberalization and the increasing competition. The two- wheeler industry has witnessed
technological changes. The four- stroke engine is being introduced in place of the traditional
populations and fuel inefficient two stroke engine. The smaller capacity engine with the
electronic fuel injection is also being used. Bajaj auto is now feeling the need to increase its
technological competence. Wit the competition cashing in on the technological competence for
their collaborators. Emphasizes being laid on lighter and fuel- efficient vehicles. A class of
vehicle having fuel efficiency of a moped and sleekness and style of the motorcycles called
scooter is growing. The vehicles offer a fuel efficiency of 60-65 km p/h. They enter into new
segment, Bajaj Auto has come out with TVS with Scooty pep and Hero Moto Corp (previously

Hero Honda) has come out with a Pleasure and upgraded version of sleek. Government policy
The excise duty on two-wheeler , which has previous 10 percent to 30 percent according to the
engine capacity, was rationalized is only two categories size. 15 percent for 75 cc enginecapacity and 25 percent for above 75 cc engine capacity the excise duty structure has been left
untouched since the 1993-94 budget.
The Indian two-wheeler industry is experiencing a major shift in its shape and structure. The
established players in the industry are taking a hard look at their portfolio of products and are in
the process of reshuffling them to meet the expectations of customers. The beneficiary is of
course the consumer, who has an increased array of products to choose from. The last four-five
years have brought about a great change in the consumer preferences for two-wheelers. Themarket leaders of yesteryears are being driven to maintain their leadership position in the
forthcoming years. Those who have had a great going in the last few years are fighting hard to
retain their new supremacy. The two-wheeler industry is perhaps the most happening place in
terms of new models launched, upgraded products and innovative marketing techniques. Gone
are the days of regulation when the production of scooters and motorcycles was limited to two or
three brands and the number of products produced was decided by the Government; today the
Indian two-wheeler market is highly competitive with numerous players who offer anything and
everything a consumer demands and that too at affordable price. From a sellers market where
one had to wait for a scooter for 12 years to the days when you can just walk into any showroom
and drive out in the vehicle of your choice, the market of two-wheelers in India has come a long
way. But this is only the beginning of the transformation.
Marketing and The Distribution
Like any other emerging country, India experienced the knock-on effects of the global crisis
during the year in review. The effects were felt through the monetary, financial and real
channels. Drying up of global finance impacted from the middle of the fiscal impacted domestic
capital finance; and corporate earnings came off peaks. In April 2009, Reserve Bank of India
predicted that the Indian economy's growth for 2008-09 would slow to 6.6 per cent, breaking an
excellent five-year growth sequence. There were two dimensions to the economic slowdown. In

the first half, inflation ran into double digits as a result of the global crude shock and the global
food grain shortage. To control inflation, the RBI clamped down on money supply, and reduced
liquidity in the economy. By the time inflation started coming under control, domestic interestrates started shooting up. Meanwhile, the global crisis erupted, putting further pressure on
liquidity levels. By October 2008, slowdown was clearly apparent in export-intensive sectors,
both in the manufacturing and service side. By December, the slowdown turned into de-growth.
The cutback in demand from Europe and the US was so sharp that even a competitive rupee,
which devalued by around 12 per cent during the year, couldn't act as a buffer. By December
2008, the growth momentum of the first six months was lost. Planned investment projects were
shelved; live projects faced a shortage of funds as credit flows dried up. As money became
dearer, pay packets became slimmer and risk aversion grew both from the demand and supply
side. Compulsions of coalition politics at the Centre and the impending Lok Sabha elections
didn't help either, and slowed down reforms and implementation of projects, particularly in
critical sectors like roads, ports and power. The worst hit was the manufacturing sector. From the
second half of the financial year, the index of industrial production contracted on three
occasions, remained close to zero on two occasions, and was mildly positive only once. Two
Wheeler Financing Though two-wheeler are the most preferred from of transport in India, the
fact remains that it is a lower end market product. Most two-wheeler manufacturer like Bajaj
Auto and kinetic engineering have set up their own finance company since organized financiers
do not think the returns are particularly attractive. The argument given by some financiers is that
the price of a Yamaha or Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) is so high that people prefer
to buy a second hand car instead. This is particularly true of small town where people desire to
own a car and they have the means the two wheeler is then only a second vehicle for the family.
MARKET MECHANICS: Since 1985, when the first Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)
it has been and instant hit. A mileage miser with just about adequate performance further backed
by image of Honda and Hero Cycles brand of aggressive marketing, it climbed up the sales chart
outselling every other motorcycle by ten of thousands every year. Over the years, company has
received its share of accolades, including the National Association of India Award against 200
contenders.

SEGMENTATION, TARGETING & POSITIONING
From the current segmentation, targeting & positioning and consumer surveys we found that ourclient has targeted the following segments
Congested areas of urban cities.
Males/Females between the age group of 18-36
Middle class people , mostly officials & executives The client analysis from our questionnaire
it was found that our client has targeted the right segment HHML is overlooking one feature in
bike which is its low maintenance cost and reliability (i.e. less chances of breakdown) which is
absent in its competitors. Therefore, in order to meet the sales target, two option are available
with the client, one is to redesign the bike and second is to reposition the bike as Bike with one
time investment. Since redesigning of bike may involve a big task and huge investment
therefore we recommended repositioning the bike.
Growth
The business growth of Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) has been phenomenal
throughout its early days. The Munjal family started a modest business of bicycle components.
Hero Group expanded so big that by 2002 they had sold 86 million bicycles producing 16000
bicycles a day. Today Hero Honda has an assembly line of 9 different models
of motorcycles available. It holds the record for most popular bike in the world by sales for Its
Splendor model. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda) Motors Limited was established in
joint venture with Honda Motors of Japan in 1984, to manufacture motorcycles. It is currently
the largest producer of Two Wheelers in the world. It sold 3 million bikes in the year 2005-2006.
Recently it has also entered in scooter manufacturing, with its model PLEASURE mainly aimed
at girls. The Hero Group has done business differently right from the start and that is what hashelped them to achieve break-through in the competitive two-wheeler market. The Group's low
key, but focused, style of management has earned the company plaudits amidst investors,
employees, vendors and dealers, as also worldwide recognition. The growth of the Group
through the years has been influenced by a number of factors:
-
7/30/2019 Poject Report on HERO-Moto-Corp (Marketing)
27/82
27 | P a g e
Just-in-Time
The Hero Group through the Hero Cycles Division was the first to introduce the concept of just-
in-time inventory. The Group boasts of superb operational efficiencies. Every
assembly line worker operates two machines simultaneously to save time and improve
productivity. The fact that most of the machines are either developed or fabricated in- house,
has resulted in low inventory levels. In Hero Cycles Limited, the just-in-time inventory
principle has been working since the beginning of production in the unit and is functional even
till date.. This is the Japanese style of production and in India; Hero is probably the only
company to have mastered the art of the just-in-time inventory principle
AncillarisationAn integral part of the Group strategy of doing business differently was providing support to
ancillary units. There are over 300 ancillary units today, whose production is dedicated to Hero's
requirements and also a large number of other vendors, which include some of the better known
companies in the automotive segment. Employee Policy: Another Striking feature within the
Hero Group is the commitment and dedication of its workers. There is no organized labor union
and family members of employees find ready employment within Hero. The philosophy with
regard to labor management is "Hero is growing, grow with Hero." When it comes to workers'
benefits, the Hero Group is known for providing facilities, further ahead of the industry norms.
Long before other companies did so, Hero was giving its employees a uniform
allowance, as well as House Rent
Allowance (HRA) and Leave Travel Allowance (LTA). Extra benefits took the form of medical
check-ups, not just for workers, but also for the immediate family members.
Dealer Network
The relationship of Hero Group with their dealers is unique in its closeness. The dealers are
considered a part of the Hero family. A nation-wide dealer network comprising of over 5,000
outlets, and have a formidable distribution system in place. Sales agents from Hero travels to all
the corners of the country, visiting dealers and send back daily postcards with information on the
stock position that day, turnover, fresh purchases, anticipated demand and also competitor

action in the region. The manufacturing units have a separate department to handle
dealer complaints and problems and the first response is always given in 24 hours.
Financial PlanningThe Hero Group benefits from the Group Chairman's financial acumen and his grasp on
technology, manufacturing and marketing. Group Company, Hero Cycles Limited has one of the
highest labor productivity rates in the world. In Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero Honda)
Motors Limited, the focus is on financial and raw material management and a low employee
turnover.
Quality
Quality at Hero is attained not just by modern plants and equipment and through latest
technology, but by enforcing a strict discipline. At the Group factories, attaining quality
standards is an everyday practice - a strictly pursued discipline. It comes from an
amalgamation of the latest technology with deep-rooted experience derived from nearly four
decades of hard labor. It is an attitude that masters the challenge of growth and change - change
in consumers' perceptions about products and new aspirations arising from a new generation of
buyers.
Constant technology up gradation ensures that the Group stays in the global mainstream and
maintains its competitive edge. With each of its foreign collaborations, the Group goes onto
strengthen its quality measures as per the book. The Group also employs the services of
independent experts from around the world to assist in new design and production processes.
Diversification
Throughout the years of enormous growth, the Group Chairman, Mr. Lall has actively looked at
diversification. A considerable level of backward integration in its manufacturing
activities has been ample in the Group's growth and led to the establishment of the
Hero Cycles Cold Rolling Division, Munjal and Sunbeam Castings, Munjal Auto Components
and Munjal Showa Limited amongst other component-manufacturing units.
Then there were the expansion into the automotive segment with the setting up of Majestic Auto
Limited, where the first indigenously designed moped, Hero Majestic, went into commercial

production in 1978. Then came Hero Motors which introduced Hero Puch, in collaboration with
global technology leader Steyr Daimler Puch of Austria. Hero Moto Corp (previously Hero
Honda) Motors was established in 1984 to manufacture 100 cc motorcycles. The Hero Groupalso took a venture into other segments like exports, financial services, information technology,
which includes customer response services and software development. Further
expansion is expected in the areas of Insurance and Telecommunication
The Hero Group's phenomenal growth is the result of constant innovations, a close watch on
costs and the dynamic leadership of the Group Chairman, characterized by a culture of
entrepreneurship, of right attitudes and building stronger relationships with investors,
partners, vendors and dealers and customer

Descriptive studies are well structured. An exploratory study needs to be flexible in its approach,
but a descriptive study in contrast tends to be rigid and its approach cannot be changed every
now and then. It is therefore necessary, the researcher give sufficient thought to framingresearch.
Questions and deciding the types of data to be collected and the procedure to be used in this
purpose. Descriptive studies can be divided into two broad categories: Cross Sectional and
Longitudinal Sectional. A cross sectional study is concerned with a sample of elements from a
given population. Thus, it may deal with household, dealers, retail stores, or other entities. Data
on a number of characteristics from sample elements are collected and analyzed. Cross sectional
studies are of two types: Field study and Survey. Although the distinction between them is not
clear- cut , there are some practical differences, which need different techniques and skills. Field
studies are ex-post-factor scientific inquiries that aim at finding the relations and interrelations
among variables in a real setting. Such studies are done in live situations like communities,
schools, factories, and organizations.
Another type of cross sectional study is survey result, which has been taken by me. A major
strength of survey research is its wide scope. Detail information can be obtained from a sample
of large population .Besides; it is economical as more information can be collected per unit of
cost. In addition, it is obvious that a sample survey needs less time than a census inquiry.
Descriptive research includes survey and fact finding enquiries of different kinds of the major
purpose. Descriptive research is description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present. The
main characteristic of this method is that the researcher has no control over the variables; he can
only report what has happened or what is happening. The methods of research utilized in
descriptive research are survey methods of all kinds including comparative and co relational
methods. The reason for using such needs to be flexile in its approach, but a descriptive study
