INTRODUCTION
2
The increasing trend towards obesity, and its associated health risk,
provides incentive and opportunity for the water industry. The goal
is to produce healthy package drinking water that meets consumer
expectations and it is a major market opportunity today.
I worked in “Dhariwal Industries Ltd. (F & B
Div.)” which has one of the most modern and
comprehensive package drinking water facilities
spread across India. In a short time they have
established themselves across the length and
breadth of India. Their plants are spread over the
western, southern and northern regions. They are
continuously expanding their existing facilities and
setting up new plants of various location. They have
existing capacity of over 3.6 corer liters a year (360
lakh bottle of one liter each).
The objective is to know the status
of Oxyrich, its pros and cons in terms of quality,
packaging, service as well as advertising. Primary
objective would deal with the purpose of knowing
the factors that differentiate oxyrich from its
competitors and its relationship with the retailers.
Secondary objective deals with the four P’s of the

3
company and the strategy adopted by it to become
more superior as compared to its competitors.

They are raising consumer level of

understanding about health by offering
healthy life style products to raise the quality
of life. My project was to “Study of

potentiality in Pune market. In later part I will
get to know about findings and the limitations
which I have faced during my internship.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Product should be delivered within 24

hrs of order received not after 2 days
because they lack effective distribution
channel and communication between
dealers and sales executive. This is one
area corporate buyers wants prompt
action which is lacking at the moment
‘First impression is the Last impression’.

2. To overcome the lack of effectiveness of

distribution channel, the area covered by
one dealer should not extend largely
because they become dominated and
careless. These bring chaos between the
dealers and corporate buyers.

3. I would recommend the company to

make the presence of Brand Oxyrich left
by an advertisement through an
aggressive campaign.

19
 CONCLUSION

People have believed in Oxyrich product

and they will accept its quality also if
effective actions were taken.

Oxyrich is the best form of drinking water

available in the market and one needs to drink
it. Oxyrich conveys the message of delivering
the best quality in the world through its
processing technology, which is patented.

Oxyrich packaged drinking water with brand

Manikchand is competing well in the
premium segment aggressively. While if we
look at the overall market of bottled drinking
water in Pune, its competing with brands like
Kinley, Aquafina, Bisleri & it’s lagging
behind cheaper brands like sumeru, urja,

20
oxygen, and Kate aqua, pure aqua. This is
because local brands give greater margin to
the corporate buyer and attract them quite
easily. Therefore Oxyrich, needs to give good
schemes or offers to corporate buyers, which
would enable them to deal with it.

d) To know about
