relationship. The use of CRM technology forms the crucial front-end of any e-business strategy, essentially
CRM has emerged as convivial weapon in the hands of the industry laggards as well as leaders to cascade the
business suites; the only touch point which is formulating this base is the awareness amongst the corporatists to
suffice the customers already available to the companies to large extent. “For the modern-day CRM to be world
class it needs to be revolutionary in market incursion and evolutionary in technological up gradation.” Today the
major business focus is towards endowing value addition to the sales cycle, and customer retention rather than
constructing a new customer base which is costlier and also an uncertain chase from business perspective. The
basic philosophy behind CRM is that a company’s relationship with the customer would be the biggest asset in
the long-run.

V. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Kalakota and Robinson considered that the appropriate CRM structure could be realized through three aspects:
taking customers from other firms, enhancing customer from other firms, and maintaining the current customer
base. Different management functions are needed to achieve the integrated CRM structure. By developing
relationships between the business and customers, CRM could be separated into taking customers, serving
customers, and customer analysis. Business could use customer profiles effectively to provide real-time,
excellent customer service. This is a beginning in developing the next customer through analyzing the
customer’s needs. To realize the four core relations at the centre, CRM makes cycling the customer relation
process through customer development and data feedback. It is the final target to make customer satisfied and
creating profits in different functional collocation of customer relation. However, we can establish an integrated
CRM structure involving three topics: Core Relations, Customer Relations, and Information Technology, by
centralizing customer analysis. In the last two decades, Practitioners and Academics have focused ever more on
how firms relate to their markets. This has resulted in the emergence of a sub discipline of marketing referred to

                                                                                                    173 | P a g e
as Relationship Marketing. Morgan and Hunt (1994) defined Relationship marketing as the marketing activities
directed toward establishing, developing, and maintaining successful relational exchanges. The separation of
the producers from the users was a natural outcome of the industrial era. On the one hand, mass production
enforced producers to sell their product & services through middlemen, and on the other, industrial
organizations, due to specialization of corporate functions, created specialist purchasing departments and buyer
professionals, thus separating the users from the producers. However, today's technological advancements that
allow producers to interact directly with large numbers of buyers, and because of a variety of organizational
development processes, such as empowerment and total quality management programs, direct interface between
producers and customers is possible in both consumer and industrial markets. Relationship marketing attempts
to involve and integrate customers, suppliers and other infrastructural partners into a firm's developmental and
marketing activities (McKenna 1991; Shani and Chalasani 1991). Wilson (1995) summarized different
relationship variables that affects the relationship of firm with different stakeholders, those variables are
Commitment, Trust, Cooperation, Mutual Goals, Interdependence and Power, Performance Satisfaction,
Structural Bonds, Comparison Level of Alternatives, Adaptation, Non-retrievable Investments, Shared
Technology, and Social Bonds. Morgan and Hunt (1994), while discussing relationship variables focused more
on commitment and trust as a major variable affecting relationship between different parties involved in
marketing transaction & exchange.
The Nordic School emphasized on marketing as a cross functional process. For maintaining relationships
marketing function should be carried out by all employees and departments, it is no more concentrated in
marketing department as a specialist function (Gronroos, 1989). International Marketing & Purchasing (IMP)
group looks at B2B markets. In industrial marketing, relationships are built over time with increasing
experience, reduction of uncertainty, greater commitment in each other’s (Ford, 1980). Anglo Australian school
of thought believes in quality and service of marketing with focus on delivering customer value. Customer
judges the value of the product or service from benefits perceived from it compared with its cost of ownership.
The better value delivered by the firm, better is the customer relationship (Christopher, 1996). Whatever school
you follow it is the customer retention which is the base of relationship marketing (Rosenberg & Cazepiel,
1984). CRM is the new-fangled sprouting issue in relationship marketing with focus on cooperative and
collaborative relationship between a company and its customers. "Customer Relationship Management is a
comprehensive strategy and process of acquiring, retaining and partnering with selective customers to create
superior value for the company and the customer. It involves integration of marketing, sales, customer service
and supply chain functions of the organization to achieve greater efficiencies and effectiveness in delivering
customer value" (Sheth & Parvatiyar, 2001). CRM represents the marriage between the customer orientation and
the emerging information technology to produce a memorable relationship experience to the marketers as well
as to the customers (Agrawal, 2003). A recent (2001) survey of more than 1,600 business and IT professionals,
conducted by The Data Warehousing Institute found that close to 50% had CRM project budgets of less than
$500,000. That would appear to indicate that CRM doesn't have to be a budget-buster. However, the same
survey showed a handful of respondents with CRM project budgets of over $10 million. Some examples of the
types of data CRM projects should be collecting include:
1.   Responses to campaigns

                                                                                                174 | P a g e
2.   Shipping and fulfillment dates
3.   Sales and purchase data
4.   Account information
5.   Web registration data
6.   Service and support records
7.   Demographic data
8.   Web sales data

5.1 Successful CRM Implantation
1.   Break your CRM project down into manageable pieces by setting up pilot programs and short-term
     milestones.
2.   Starting with a pilot project that incorporates all the necessary departments and groups that gets projects
     rolling quickly but is small enough and flexible enough to allow tinkering along the way.
3.   Make sure your CRM plans include a scalable architecture framework.
4.   Don't underestimate how much data you might collect (there will be LOTS) and make sure that if you need
     to expand systems you'll be able to.
5.   Be thoughtful about what data is collected and stored. The impulse will be to grab and then store EVERY
     piece of data you can, but there is often no reason to store data. Storing useless data wastes time and money.
6.   Recognize the individuality of customers and respond appropriately. A CRM system should, for example,
     have built-in pricing flexibility.

5.2 CRM Project to Run
The biggest returns come from aligning business, CRM and IT strategies across all departments and not just
leaving it for one group to run.

5.3 CRM Projects to Fail
Many things from the beginning, lack of a communication between everyone in the customer relationship chain
can lead to an incomplete picture of the customer. Poor communication can lead to technology being
implemented without proper support or buy-in from users.
For example, if the sales force isn't completely sold on the system's benefits, they may not input the kind of
demographic data that is essential to the program's success.

5.4 Pre-Implementation
         Classify customers based on diversity of value and needs Determine who the customers are

VI. INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

Today, India is 'The Oyster' of the global dairy industry. It offers opportunities galore to entrepreneurs
worldwide, who wish to capitalize on one of the world's largest and fastest growing markets for milk and milk
products. A bagful of 'pearls' awaits the international dairy processor in India. The Indian dairy industry is
rapidly growing, trying to keep pace with the galloping progress around the world. As he expands his overseas
operations to India many profitable options await him. He may transfer technology, sign joint ventures or use
India as a sourcing centre for regional exports. The liberalization of the Indian economy beckons to MNC's and
foreign investors alike. The urban market for milk products is expected to grow at an accelerated pace of around
33% per annum to around Rs.43, 500 crore by year 2005. The Indian Dairy Industry holds an inimitable space in
the country for its high employment potential and for ensuring the availability of nutritious, yet affordable, food
for India's ever-increasing population. Getting the tag of largest milk producer was made possible by Operation
Flood and the historic dairy cooperative movement; and as production increased, the dairy industry started
showing promising growth potential. Rising disposable incomes and growing demand for dairy products are
likely to fuel the Indian dairy industry's growth over the next few years. According to our latest research report
Indian Dairy Industry Outlook 2022, with an annual output of 138 million tonnes, India is the largest producer
of milk in the world. It is also one of the largest producers and consumers of dairy products. The Indian dairy
industry also offers good opportunities to both domestic and foreign investors for entry and expansion. Due to
their rich nutritional qualities, dairy products' consumption has been growing exponentially in the country; and
considering various facts and figures, the study anticipates that milk production in India will further grow at a
CAGR of around 14% between 2015-16 and 2021-22.

                                                                                                   176 | P a g e
6.1 Market Size and Growth
Market size for milk (sold in loose/ packaged form) is estimated to be 36mn MT valued at Rs470bn. The market
is currently growing at round 4% pa in volume terms. The milk surplus states in India are Uttar Pradesh, Punjab,
Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The manufacturing of
milk products is concentrated in these milk surplus States. The top 6 states viz. Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya
Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat together account for 58% of national production. Milk production
grew by a mere 1% pa between 1947 and 1970. Since the early 70's, under Operation Flood, production growth
increased significantly averaging over 5% pa .About 75% of milk is consumed at the household level which is
not a part of commercial dairy industry. Loose milk has a larger market in India as it is perceived to be fresh by
most consumers. In reality however, it poses a higher risk of adulteration and contamination.

The production of milk products, i.e. milk products including infant milk food, malted food, condensed milk &
cheese stood at 3.07 lakh MT in 1999. Production of milk powder including infant milk-food has risen to 2.25
lakh MT in 1999, whereas that of malted food is at 65000 MT. Cheese and condensed milk production stands at
5000 and 11000 MT respectively in the same year.

6.2 Major Players
The packaged milk segment is dominated by the dairy cooperatives. Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing
Federation (GCMMF) is the largest player. All other local dairy cooperatives have their local brands (For e.g.
Gokul, Warana in Maharashtra, Saras in Rajasthan, Verka in Punjab, Vijaya in Andhra Pradesh, Aavin in Tamil
Nadu, etc). Other private players include J K Dairy, Heritage Foods, Indiana Dairy, Dairy Specialties, etc.
Amrut Industries, once a leading player in the sector has turned bankrupt and is facing liquidation.
The Indian Dairy Industry holds an inimitable space in the country for its high employment potential and for
ensuring the availability of nutritious yet affordable food for India’s ever increasing population. Getting the tag
of largest milk producer was made possible by Operation Flood and the historic dairy cooperative movement;
and as production increased, dairy industry started showing promising growth potential. Rising disposable
incomes and growing demand for dairy products are likely to fuel the Indian dairy industry’s growth over the
next few years. According to our latest research report, “Indian Dairy Industry Outlook 2022”, with an annual

consumption has been growing exponentially in the country; and considering various facts and figures, the study
anticipates that milk production in India will further grow at a CAGR of around 14% between 2015-16 and
2021-22. Government is progressively taking initiatives to promote the dairy industry in India, in which
inclination towards cattle breeding, clean milk production, dairy development, and feed fodder management are
included. The Department of Animal Husbandry, NDDB, and other government affiliated institutions manage
these initiatives in a constructive way. Utilizing the available resources for dairy industry to their full extent is
the main objective behind these initiatives. The manner in which Dairy industry would enhance milk production
and upgrade milk processing technologies, is also supervised by these departments.

                                                                                                     177 | P a g e

7.1 Customer Value and Satisfaction
Consumers usually face a broad array of products and services that might satisfy a given need. How do they
choose among these many marketing offers? Customers form expectations about the value and satisfaction that
various marketing offers will deliver and buy accordingly. Satisfied customers buy again and tell others about
their good experiences. Dissatisfied customers often switch to competitors and disparage the product to others.

                                                                                                      178 | P a g e
Marketers must be careful to set the right level of expectation. If they set expectations too low, they may satisfy
those who buy but fail to attract enough buyers. If they raise expectations too high, buyers will be disappointed.
Customers value and customers satisfaction are key building blocks for developing and managing customer
relationships.
Satisfaction is defined as….“A persons feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a
product’s perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations”
