1.2 Industry Profile:-
Damask Part of Jain Group of Institutions Manufacturers of Shoes, Socks and
Uniforms (With our own units) Supply to premium schools like Baldwin, St
Joseph, Kumrans, Sudershan Vidya Mandir, Frank Anthony, Bethany and 20
other schools Total Turnover – 2.5 Crores (Target for 2010 – 4
Crores)Operational from 8 years Distributors of Reebok shoes
All products with warranty One stop shop for residential schools Though the
Jain Group of Institutions has 21 institutions under its umbrella, the incubated
projects do not get any support from them in the marketing realm. "If I give
them business from my institutions, then they will become complacent. They
have to fight for their share. Take Vineet Agarawal who runs Damask and is
into providing school shoes, uniforms etc. I could have given him business,
but then he will not know what competition is all about. When he started he
had eight schools as his clients, including one from the JGI."
a.) Origin and development of the industry:-
Damask is start from 1999 in Bangalore and in 2009 Total Turnover – 2.5

b. Growth and present status of the industry: -
Currently (2009), other in Karnataka is generally fairly mature in terms of
supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural Karnataka still
remains a challenge for the private sector and In terms of quality of assets
and capital adequacy, Damask is considered to have clean, strong and
transparent balance sheets relative to other this type of organizations The
incubates will provide a platform for the MATS students to experience the
pressures of running businesses in a competitive landscape, the pains
involved in surviving, interfacing with customers and developing competitive
advantage and finally growing. In five years, the business ventures of the
students would have grown and they can break free from MATS. "Normally,
they would love to be with us for various reasons. We imbibe in them values,
motivate them to create jobs and have been with them through thick and thin."
c. Future of the industry:-
The burden of reporting and other regulatory requirements will fall heavily and
disproportionately on small business unless remedial action is taken. Further
advances in information technology will permit the development of new

products, damask and risk-management techniques but may also pose
important competitive and supervisory issues.
industry in the next five to ten years and to consider what policy issues the
industry and regulators will face. The authors of this study do not pretend to
be clairvoyant. They are mindful of the many financial predictions that were
once offered with confidence but turned out to be wrong or premature. This
study is perhaps best described as an exercise in strategic thinking. Its
approach is to analyze what has happened in the recent past, consider in
detail reasons for expecting recent trends to continue or to change, and draw
the consequences for damask and regulatory policies. As always,
uncertainties abound, and
1. What changes in the environment facing damask can be expected in the
next five to ten years?
2. What are the prospects for different sectors of the supplier industry in this
anticipated environment?
3. What policy issues are the industry and regulators likely to face in the years
ahead? Separate consideration is given to

CHAPTER-2
PROFILEOFTHE ORGANISATION
INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH, Bangalore. 10
Study of market strategy of damask
2.1Origin of the Organization:-
Damask is Part of Jain Group of Institutions open in 2001in Bangalore With
school iteam. A company's mission is its reason for being. The mission often
is expressed in the form of a mission statement, which conveys a sense of
purpose to employees and projects a company image to customers. In the strategy
formulation process, the mission statement sets the mood of where the company should go.
A STUDENT of any of the Indian Institutes of Management, even before completion of his or
her course, is sure of a "fat pay packet." Unimaginable salaries for freshers come on a platter.
No wonder, there is a scramble for seats in these institutes. Is that all to it? It seems so.
Not so with one institution — Mahaveer Academy of Technology and
Sciences (MATS). Driven by its Chairman, R. Chenraj Jain, MATS is creating
"job providers, not job seekers". "I am not interested in my students getting
Rs. 6 lakhs salary. I want them to create jobs for others, I want them to be
part of the nation building exercise, I want them to create wealth for
themselves and for others."
This is the genesis for the business incubation programme of MATS. Fourteen
students of MATS and two other individuals have conceived and set up small
business ventures, mostly in the services sector, in Bangalore. There are
many who dream of starting up and heading big companies, often in vain
because they lack the required finance or they are not dogged enough or they
are strong in their own domain but not confident about other aspects of
business. This is where an incubation centre comes in.
INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH, Bangalore. 11
Study of market strategy of damask
A business incubation centre happens to be an ideal launch pad for an young
entrepreneur. Such a centre would ideally first check the personal qualities of
the entrepreneur and his or her skill sets. "Does he/she have the fire in his/her
belly" is the question often asked. Relevant skill sets and some basic domain
knowledge pertaining to the business that he/she wishes to take up are
desirable pre-requisites. Finally, the centre establishes that it can support the
venture by providing physical infrastructure, finance and strategic guidance.
The entrepreneur then goes off the starting block, ready to register as a firm
or a form a company. And MATS has been the starting block for some of
them.
Arun Prabhu, who got the push from Mr. Jain, is running a successful market
research company called Intouch Analytics; Vineet Agarwal, an MBA from
MATS, is the man behind Damask, a company into distribution of school
uniforms, shoes etc; Jyothi Jain has set up Sheetal Interiors, supplying
plywood and veneer material to the construction industry; Saket Jalan is
running 10 hostels for the Jain Group of Institutions; Punit Solanki has a retail
network of artificial flowers and there are many more. All of them owe their
success to Mr. Chenraj Jain who not only has approved their projects, but got
them funds, either from individual investors or from his own pocket. The
combined turnover of these companies is about Rs. 80 crores

Nike - When Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman made this observation many
years ago, he was defining how he viewed the endless possibilities for human
potential in sports. He set the tone and direction for a young company created
in 1972, called Nike, and today those same words inspire a new generation of
Nike employees.
INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH, Bangalore. 24
Study of market strategy of damask
Our goal is to carry on his legacy of innovative thinking, whether to develop
products that help athletes of every level of ability reach their potential, or to
create business opportunities that set Nike apart from the competition and
provide value for our shareholders.
It started with a handshake between two visionary Oregonians - Bowerman
and his University of Oregon runner Phil Knight. They and the people they
hired evolved and grew the company that became Nike from a US-based
footwear distributor to a global marketer of athletic footwear, apparel and
equipment that is unrivaled in the world.
Along the way, Nike has established a strong Brand Portfolio with several
wholly-owned subsidiaries including Cole Haan, Converse Inc., Hurley
International LLC, NIKE Golf, and Umbro Ltd.
Our world headquarters is located near Beaverton, Oregon, a suburb of
Portland. So while the Pacific Northwest is the birthplace to Nike, today we
operate in more than 160 countries around the globe. Through our suppliers,
shippers, retailers and other service providers, we directly or indirectly employ
nearly one million people.
That includes more than 30,000 Nike employees across six continents, each
of whom make their own contribution to fulfill our mission statement: to bring
inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world.

Sales Executives were with good background human being and through
rigorous process of recruitment but still not able to perform up to the
expectation level of company, HR is not able to sort out the problem why the
performance is not coming even after giving the full marketing support. The

sample from the universe to know about its characteristics.
Sampling Units: Customers
Sample Technique: Random Sampling.
Research Instrument: Structured Questionnaire.
Contact Method: Personal Interview.
SAMPLE SIZE:
My sample size for this project was 200 respondents. Since it was not
possible to cover the whole universe in the available time period, it was
necessary for me to take a sample size of 200 respondents.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS:
It was not possible to understand thoroughly about the different marketing
aspects of the Financial Consultant within 60 days. As stipend, money was
not given it was difficult to continue the project work. All the work was limited
in some limited areas of Bangalore so the findings should not be generalized.
The area of research was Bangalore and it was too vast an area to cover
within 60 days.
All the findings and conclusions obtained are based on the survey done in the
working area within the time limit. I tried to select the sample representative of

4.5 Summary of Findings
The final draft of the questionnaire was prepared on the basis of the
observations from the pilot study. These were then finally filled by 100
school , for the conclusive study.
Finally the data collected was fed into the data analysis to be analyzed
using statistical techniques.
Types of Primary Data collected:
Socioeconomic Characteristics:
characteristics are sometimes called “states of being” in that they
represent the type of people. The factors on which we are working are
occupation. Monthly transection is also an important parameter but it is
difficult to verify. Although the amount of money that business unit earns in
a month is an absolute, not a relative quantity but it is a sensitive topic in
our society and it is difficult to determine.
Attitudes/Opinions:
Through the questionnaire we have tried to get hold of business
preference, inclination and requirement. Attitude is an important notion in
INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH, Bangalore. 45
Study of market strategy of damask
the marketing literature, since it is generally thought that the attitudes are
relaed to the behavior of businessmen.
Motivation:
Through the questionnaire we have tried to find the hidden need or want of
businessmen and have tried to find if these people can be tapped as the
potential customer for Damask.
Behavior:
Behavior concerns what subjects have done or are doing. Through the
questionnaire we have tried to find out the behavior of the individuals
regarding the product and their responses. If the responses are favorable then
the person can be said to be our potential customer. The primary data serves
as an important tool to measure the behavioral trend of the customer. It helps
in answering some of the vital Questions.
Obtaining the Primary Data:
The data collection was primarily done through communication.
Communication involves questioning respondents to secure the desired
information, using a data collection instrument called questionnaire. The
questions were in writing and so were the responses.
Versatility:

It is the ability of a technique to collect the information on the many types of
primary data of interest to marketers. It has also been found that some of the
people do not answer truthfully to all the questions especially in the case of
the personal details

5.1Summary of Learning Experience
Almost all the Damask offer similar features and facilities with their School
items school items, therefore for existing customers of School item School
item of any Damask to shift to another Damask ; this is very rarely the
criteria or reason.
1. The level of service in terms of delivering whatever is promised, fast
response in case of problems, is the most important benefit that the
customers seek, from the Damask .
2. Network reach and visibility of a Damask is a very important criterion
for the customer while opening a School item School item . We can
also conclude from our analysis that network reach in terms of
Branches and School item is directly proportional to the market share
in case of Private Players.
3. In case of a new customer, if a damask approaches it first for opening
a School item School item with them, then there is a good chance for
the damask of getting many future businesses and cross sales from
the deal.
4. Aggressive Marketing is the key to increasing the market share in this
area, since the market has a lot of potential both in terms of untapped
market and target market.

70% of the people did not even know about the concept, benefits and
features of its school item school item s.
4. The damask should also target small business unit for whom

penetrated.

LIMITATIONS
Some of the limitations of the project are listed as below:

occupation etc.
5. To convince the people for a proper interviewing process is also
difficult.
6. Compilation of data on competitor analysis was difficult due to non-
