What our students say..

dabur

Case - Dabur - Growing the Juice segment in Maharashtra - Urban & Rural

Dabur’s strategic decision to rationalize distributor inventory has been a double-edged sword. While it’s a long-term move to stabilize the supply chain, it’s impacted our top line this quarter. Sales are down by 5%, and profitability has dipped by 7%. But this was necessary to ensure fresh stocks, prevent market flooding and to ensure our distributors stay profitable.”

proctor and gamble

Case - Proctor & Gamble - Rethinking Distribution Strategy in India

This has got to be the most radical overhaul of a distribution channel in India. I mean we have been taught to expand expand expand, and here is P&G doing the exact opposite.

Case Analysis by Marketing Experts

All these cases are real life cases based on current challenges that these companies are facing. Through recorded videos in the course, these cases are analyzed by our team of marketing experts who have many years of experience in handling similar challenges.
