3. INTRODUCTION
The video here is an excerpt from one of the classic
movies of all-time 'Do Beega Zamin' which rightly portrays
the life and plight of people living in poverty and how
they manage to meet ends on a day-to-day basis
The video also describes the invaluable between a father
and his child who is determined to make a difference in
life
3
4. PRIMARY ANALYSIS
The whole setting of the video is in black and white, something you would relate to a piece of art
from the year 1953.i.e. almost 7 decades back!
Each and every character of the video is wearing shabby, torn and lifeless clothes, thereby
signifying the fact that life in those old days never revolved around riches!
The plot of the video is such that it begins with 2 small kids working as cobblers with utmost joy
and happiness
The next scene depicts a particular family scene where father comes home and finds his little boy
missing
The boy comes from behind, jumping in joy, sharing with this grandfather the fact that he earned
12 Aanas today and could also bring some bangles for his mother!
When he shares the same with his father, he mistook it & slaps him for stealing
However, his joy knows no bounds when he comes to know about his son's deeds
The next and the final part is about the 'Money Order' that is being received by the mother with
lots of love and hope!!

5. SECONDARY ANALYSIS
This 4-minute-long piece of emotion displays extraordinary
nuances of a poor man's life, living in India and lying under the
'Bottom of the pyramid (BOP)' category
Even the smallest of details like the innocence on the boy's face,
the utmost honesty they do their work with while sharing the
business, that worried look on the father's face and lastly ,that
little element of happiness on the mother's face is something
that makes it unique and engaging.

6. LEARNINGS
#1
It doesn't matter, which profession/level, you
belong to, you ought to deal with utmost
accountability
#2
Even at the bottom of the pyramid, ethics like
working with honesty, and not earning
illegally exists in the grassroots
#3
Not everything can be bought with money,
the amount of courage and determination
that can be found in the BOP is unmatched
and knows no boundaries of age, gender,
creed or religion!

7. BUILDING RURAL
DISTRIBUTION
Focus on villages in the districts of Prayagraj, Lucknow, Kanpur,
Varanasi, Jaunpur, Ayodhya, Ghazipur
Explore non-conventional distribution systems like reaching
village households through self-help groups or NGOs, you can
suggest any alternate model as well. Explain what incentive
needs to be provided to women in SHG so that they distribute
ANT’s products in their respective areas. Also cover other
related issues.

14. Distribution Strategy
in BOP market
1. Ensuring reach and visibility- The thing which is critical is keeping the
right SKU, as rural retailer can’t afford to keep different SKUs. In such a
case being first on shelf in the product category and developed a
privileged relationship with retailer is a source of competitive advantage
to consumer good companies.
2. Understanding peak seasons- Peak seasons like festivals, pujas and
marriages generate bulk demand of consumer durables for the customers.
The rural consumers are in mood and have cash for the same at this time.
Organizations have to ensure that products are available at these times.
Van branding and visual merchandising at outlets through point-of-
purchase visibility has proved to be an effective consumer influencer
fueling rural channel growth
3. Define dealer margin. Because our brand is relatively new we need to
give extra margins for our products compared to the other brands in order
to increase visibility of the product.
4. Wholesale route- Since the brand is new, the wholesaler can provide push
for the products. This will allow other retailers to purchase the product.
5. Devising a robust approach to the last mile- Along with using hub and
spoke models, we can add representatives to take care of distribution. For
example, we can take help of NGOs and SHGs to promote sales.
14
15. 6. Forging sustainable channel relationships- Ant Group can start
by demonstrating their commitment to building mutually
beneficial relationships. It can provide training to the partners.
For example, they may teach them advanced selling and
promotion techniques. It can also build familial bonds with their
channel partners to strengthen trust and loyalty.
15
16. Incentives to women:
1.ITC has signed a MoU with ORMAS (Orissa Rural Development & Marketing
Society), an autonomous body under the Pachayat Raj in Odisha. This initiative
provides technical training to rural women & provides employment
opportunities to over 4,000 rural women.
2.OM Agarbatti can increase penetration in the rural market and reach out to
small villages by taking the help of women. Since our TG is women, we can
hire women from the villages to distribute ANT Group’s products in areas
around the temples. Also they can make a weekly visit in their respective
villages to the households to increase awareness of the products
3.We can provide them with training and employment opportunities. Based on
the sales they make they can be given incentives like Agarbattis, storage boxes,
umbrellas, bicycles.
4.People living in villages close to Om’s manufacturing centre can be given
training in manufacturing agarbatti.

RATIONAL BEHIND
THE CAMPAIGN
“Bhakti me laye shakti”
ANT group has also proposed to spearhead a unique initiative at the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine, which will
involve implementation of requisite infrastructure to convert organic temple offerings and Langar and
Bhojanalayas leftovers into biogas. The slogan is aimed to drive economic, social and environmental capital.
ANT group has been working with popular temples in the country to convert organic offerings at their
premises into biogas or compost.
