Marketing & Distribution of Packaged Drinking Water
We would like to express our gratitude to Ms. Garima Gupta who guided us throughout the execution of this project and who always provided us with his valuable insights on how to do a marketing research project both inside and outside the classroom. We would also like to thank the consumers who took time out to fill up our survey and provided us with deep consumer behavior patterns. Of course it is not possible to name them individually but their contribution is valued by us. And last but not least we thank our mentor Ms Pallavi Sinha who was there for us throughout the successful completion of project, who guided us and provided us with valuable suggestions.
