This is the first news letter of 2016 and we would like to wish all of you and your families a Happy, Prosperous, Healthy and Safe New Year. At the outset we would also like to applaud the efforts put in by all the employees, which resulted in the company receiving awards across various businesses and in several categories during 2015.2015 was an eventful year by virtue of our company’s association with CII. It provided visibility to the company as well as learnings that are often difficult to acquire during day to day activities. A few points worth emphasizing are:1. Managers must be good listeners and be open to various points of view, particularly from the younger generation. 2. All of us must move outside our comfort zone and look beyond. For this, we need courage and willingness to learn. 3. We must prepare thoroughly to be able to engage in a meaningful discussion and be in a position to answer all questions. 4. Endeavour to learn from the outside world in all areas to be in a position to face the competitive environment. 5. Step beyond the short term and think long term in order to navigate business uncertainties, which could range from international trade to energy outlook.6. We must build strong relationships within the community we operate in as well as the government

machinery. This should be done through trust, humility, transparency and full compliance of regulations.7. Finally, focus must be on efficient and quick implementation of agreed strategies.The current year will see a large number of expansion projects rolling out. The capacity of our Chemicals facilities in Bharuch is being doubled and the first plant will be commissioned by mid 2016. A 20 MW power plant is under construction at Ajbapur and establishment of distilleries are being evaluated. Bioseeds is expanding its portfolio in existing crops as well as adding new crops. Its research efforts have been further enhanced to give a long term competitive edge through technology patents. Farm Solutions is adding to its range of crop protection products through tie ups as well as back end manufacturing. PVC, Fenesta and Shriram Axiall continue to focus on new product development. The end result of these steps are expected to approximately double our EBITA in 5 years.The company has embarked upon a very comprehensive upgrade of its IT infrastructure and this has been christened, project LEAP. This includes adopting the latest SAP software, S/4 Hana. It will place us amongst a handful of companies to implement this cutting edge technology and is expected to make business operations easy and efficient. We look forward to your continued support this year.

Increasing market share through mind shareA blueprint for excellence in farm solutions

To build trust and occupy the mind space of our

customers, we have adopted many innovative

platforms for developing long lasting relationships.

They include initiatives, such as, ‘Project STAMP’,

‘Shriram Ratna Wholesalers’, and ‘Follow the farmer

throughout the crop cycle as a solutions provider’.

As part of Project STAMP (‘Strategic Targeting for

Accelerated Marketing Performance’),  our  Cluster

In-charges regularly visit potential farmers in

selected clusters of villages on fixed days every

week. During these crop visits, they demonstrate

product performance, make need-based agronomic

recommendations, ensure the availability of products

at nearby points of sale and guarantee adequate

brand visibility.

Such repeat contacts round the year by our field

teams  will help to occupy the customer’s mind

space and lead to enhanced business performance

and brand share.

Ensuring prominent productdisplay for Ziva at Sales Counters

In yet another initiative as part of Customer Relations

Programme, we provide specialized services and

privileges to Shriram Ratna Wholesalers, Star

Retailers and Samrat Farmers, respectively. 

As a constant endeavour to introduce unique

products in the market, we have launched a specialty

product called Ziva. It is designed to  increase

farm productivity  and feed an ever-increasing

population  by enhancing nutrient use efficiency

and water use efficiency. To promote this unique

product, we adopted a marketing strategy that is

two fold: Internal and external.

For internal customers, we organized product launch

functions where we briefed the trade partners about

product features, benefits and trade schemes. This

was followed by training programs for retailers

and field staff at various locations. Within a short

period, the unique product formulation, packaging

and price points became the talking point among

various trade partners and farmers, giving the

product a differentiated brand identity. On the

external front, our marketing efforts to acquire the

maximum brand recall among farmers focused on

“Showing Results”. We created a unique point of

purchase (POP) display at retail counters to lend

the product immediate recognition and deployed

dedicated teams of field staff to drive the promotion

campaigns in key crop clusters.

When we faced the challenge of promoting Shriram

Bt Cotton, we planned similar campaigns that

focused on product superiority. The best indicator

of our success is the fact that Shriram Bt cotton

has attained market leadership in North Bt Cotton

markets with more than 31 per cent market share.

To facilitate better brand recall, we carried out brand

reminder campaign through outsourced agencies

just before the seed-buying period.

Shriram Research Wheat seed is yet another example

where we increased our market share by occupying

the mind share of farmers and trade partners. We

organised Crop Shows and Field Days as our tools to

ramp up the volumes in this product category.

To stay on top of the customer’s mind, SFS organizes

regular events. Recently, on 5th  December,  we

celebrated the  World Soil Health Day  with a

two-week awareness program for spreading the

message of Healthy Soil for Healthy Life. As part of

this campaign, we organized 193 activities across

9 States at the village level to educate the farmers

and channel partners on balance fertilisation,

incorporation of organic matter in the soil and

soil test based fertilizers application. During this

period, we deployed our front-end team members

for conducting farmer and trade meetings on Soil

Health Management. These meetings were attended

by farmers, trade partners, officials of the agriculture

department and emphasized the importance of soil

testing to increase crop productivity, field training

about methods of soil sample collection, arranging

for soil testing, and use of balance fertilizers based

on the soil test reports.

At SFS, we believe in investing continuously to

occupy the mind space of our key customers–

the farmers, and the intermediate customers–the

trade partners, through business and non-business

activities under CSR. The best example of such

initiatives is the unique SHRIRAM KRISHI VIKAS

PROGRAM. This program seeks to educate the

farming families to increase the farm output by

using new generation agri-inputs and impart them

the techniques for the right methods of usage, safe

storage of farm produce, organic farming, girl child

education, human and animal health awareness and

organizing self help groups to improve their income.

Most significantly, our periodic customer surveys

show that irrespective of market share in different

product categories, the recall of brand SHRIRAM

is the highest among the farming community in

the core areas of its operations; and is gradually

improving in the emerging markets.

these implements before the Almighty on this day

will ritually purify the tools. In Fenesta, Ayudh puja

was performed at all the factories.

sweets. Employees enjoyed playing games.

Back to the basics Employee Training Programme

At Fenesta, we believe that in an ever-changing

and fast paced corporate world, training and

development is an indispensable function. Training

helps the employees to acquire new skills, sharpen

existing ones, perform better, increase productivity

and unleash their true potential. We know that

a company is the sum total of what employees

achieve individually, hence we do everything to

ensure that employees perform at their peak. This

quarter, our employees signed up for a variety of

training programmes, such as, Art of Selling, Personal

Effectiveness and Technical Expertise in Survey and

Installation. These training programmes were open to

On-Roll Employees as well as our Channel Partners.

more engaging, we launched the LEAP Tagline

to think of a tagline that best reflects the essence

of the LEAP initiative. We received more than 700
