NPD Strategy
Strategy was to increase the product portfolio and reduce the
dependency on ADHO Cooling hair oil segment is the fastest growing by volume in overall hair oil category. In FY11 it grew by 16.2% on YoY basis against overall hair oil industry growth rate of 12.3%. Only one national player i.e Navratna by Himani with market share of 39% unlike Bajaj ADHO, which has 55% market share in LHO category and Dabur Amla with 67% market share in Heavy Amla category. The category is in nascent stage in most of the states in India except for UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh while Bajaj Corp has decent distribution network all over India. High gross profit margin at ~55% similar to ADHO. The management expects the product to break even by achieving 6% market share in second year from launch.

Observations
Cooling hair oil sales are highly influenced by demographics and
seasonality Navratna has very strong brand recall due to celebrity endorsements by Mr Amitabh Bachchan, Mr Shahrukh Khan etc Retailers are not to happy with the margins offered by Bajaj, ask for schemes and offers Inspite of the KP ads, the demand has not increased The new ADHO 500 ml PET bottle does not have a proper cap lock KP not kept with category or within line of sight On occasion orders have been placed but not delivered

Recommendations
More demonstrations to retailers and near barber shops to induce trial ISR should highlight all the Points of Parity and Points of Difference of
KP Prompt delivery of orders Highlight the benefits of placing orders directly with the company representative wrt damaged goods replacement Do not dump products Ensure proper placement within correct category and visibility Proper merchandising and POP material
