COMPANY INTRODUCTION
Nirma is one of the few names - which is instantly recognized as a true Indian brand, which took on mighty multinationals and rewrote the marketing rules to win the heart of princess, i.e. the consumer.
Nirma, the proverbial ‘Rags to Riches’ saga of Dr. Karsanbhai Patel, is a classic example of the success of Indian entrepreneurship in the face of stiff competition. Starting as a one-man operation in 1969, today, it has about 14, 000 employee-base and annual turnover is above Rs. 25, 00 crores.
India is a one of the largest consumer economy, with burgeoning middle class pie. In such a widespread, diverse marketplace, Nirma aptly concentrated all its efforts towards creating and building a strong consumer preference towards its ‘value-for-money’ products.
Now, the year 2004 sees Nirma’s annual sales touch

Wallström, Steyn, and Pitt (2010) shed additional light on the appeal of brand names to the female Indian consumer highlighting that brands can help the consumer express herself, specifically highlighting the users wealth and social status. Raman et al. (2003) noted the attractiveness of global brands to the Indian consumer, especially those with English and Western heritage and association. Javalgi, Granot, and Brashear Alejandro (2011) also found the Indian consumer open to foreign brands. With the Indian consumer looking for global brands, the company entering the Indian market can retain their global brand name, tout the country of origin, and communicate prestige and status with their positioning. Chandra, Rau, & Ryans (2002) found that companies like Procter & Gamble tended to standardize their brand’s positioning for products sold in the United States and to upper class Indian…

    Mass media plays a crucial role in forming and reflecting public opinion, connecting the world to individuals and reproducing the self-image of society. Critiques in the early-to-mid twentieth century suggested that media weaken or delimit the individual's capacity to act autonomously — sometimes being ascribed an influence reminiscent of the telescreens of the dystopian novel 1984. Mid 20th-century empirical studies, however, suggested more moderate effects of the media. Current scholarship presents a more complex interaction between the media andsociety, with the media on generating information from a network of relations and influences and with the individual interpretations and evaluations of the information provided, as well as generating information outside of media contexts. The consequences and ramifications of the mass media relate not merely to the way newsworthy events are perceived (and which are reported at…
