Q4. Hypothetically if you are venture capitalist who want to fund Nirdosh, where you
would like company to spend money ?(Max 100 words)
a) Help in machinery b) Trade promotion c) Advertisement d) International expansion
e) Other ( please specify )
A4. a)
From the write up, we can see that, Mr. Natvarlal made an effort in 1982-83 to make a
machine precisely for Nirdosh production but did not succeed at it. Again in 1990, he has
given this task to an engineer in Bombay. It is fairly evident that he thinks that machinery is
very vital for scaling up the production. He is getting positive feedback from the users of
Nirdosh and has fairly decent amount of publicity as well. As an investor, I feel quite
convinced that his product is sellable but to reap suitable benefits from advertising in the
future, he must have the machinery to match the demand.
Q5. See Exibit III Table 9. Select 1 image dimension and 1 attribute you would like
Nirdosh should focus on. ( Justify your answer in no more than 50 words)
A5. a)
He should select the image dimension Likely to be more popular as he is introducing a
disruptive product in the tobacco industry. Also, he has named the product category as
Bicets and not cigarettes or biris. The attribute associated with Nirdosh should be
Satisfaction as it is intended to satisfy people having different kinds of taste, temperament,
smoking urges and health problems.
