    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    A project is never the sole product of a person whose name has appeared on the cover. Even

    the best effort may not prove successful without proper guidance. For a good project one

    needs proper time, energy, efforts, patience, and knowledge. But without any guidance it

    remains unsuccessful. I have done this project with the best of my ability and hope that it will

    serve its purpose.

    First of all I wish to express my indebtness to Mr. Firoz Khan, (area sales manager)for his

    valuable suggestions and guidance throughout the project.

    It was really a great learning experience and I am really thankful to Mrs.

    MeenakshiSrivastav(Faculty ITS), who not only helped me in the successful completion of this

    report but also spread her precious and valuable time in expanding my knowledge base.

    After the completion of this Project I feel myself as a well aware person about the Research

    Procedure and the complexities that can arose during the process. Also I get an insight of the

    advertising industry and its effectiveness in promoting sales. Finally, I am also grateful to all

    those personalities who have helped me directly or indirectly in bringing up this project report.

    CO.PROFILE & INTRODUCTION

    The Bajaj group came into existence during the turmoil and the heady euphoria of Indias

    freedom struggle. Jamnalal Bajaj, founder of the Bajaj Group, was a confidante and disciple of

    Mahatma Gandhi, and was deeply involved in the effort for freedom. The integrity, dedication,

    resourcefulness and determination to succeed which are characteristics of the company today,

    are often traced back to its birth during those long days of relentless devotion to a common

    cause. Kamalnayan, the eldest son of Jamnalal Bajaj, succeeded his father in 1942, at the age of

    twenty-seven. Putting the Nation before business, he devoted himself to the latter only after

    India achieved independence in 1947. But when he did so, he put his heart and soul into it.

    Within a short while, he not only consolidated the group, but also diversified into various

    manufacturing activities, elevating the Group to the status it enjoys till this day. Rahul Bajaj

    today heads the group. He has been the Chief Executive Officer of Bajaj since 1968 and is

    recognized as one of the most outstanding business leaders in India. As dynamic and ambitious

    as his illustrious predecessors, he has been recognized for his achievements at various national

    and international forums. The Waluj plant inaugurated by the erstwhile President of India

    ShriGianiZail Singh. Bajaj is currently Indias largest two and three-wheeler manufacturer and

    one of the biggest in the world. Bajaj has long left behind its annual turnover of Rs. 72 million

    (1968), to currently register an impressive figure of Rs. 42.16 billion (US$ 936 million).

    scooter sales stated picking up due to launch of new variants by Bajaj Auto Ltd., But on the

    whole the motorcycle market continued to prop up domestic 2- Wheelers sales whereas

    scooters and moped sales maintained their downward trend in fiscal 2004.

    have reported an average growth of 55% in their sales volumes. Bajaj Auto Ltd. Has been the

    outperformed in the motorcycle segment followed by Hero Honda Motors Ltd. And TVS Motor

    whopping 85% growth in the motorcycle sales Bajaj Auto Ltd. Is the second biggest

    manufacturer of motorcycles.

    a target of 0.6 million units by the end of fiscal 2004.

    sales target of 1.4 million units for the financial year ending March 2004-05.
