1. INTRODUCTION
Nestlé S.A. is a Swiss transnational food and drink company headquartered in Vevey, Vaud,
Switzerland. It is the largest food company in the world, measured by revenues and other
metrics, since 2014. It ranked No. 64 on the Fortune Global 500 in 2017 and No. 33 on the
2016 edition of the Forbes Global 2000 list of largest public companies.
Nestlé's products include baby food, medical food, bottled water, breakfast cereals, coffee and
tea, confectionery, dairy products, ice cream, frozen food, pet foods, and snacks. Twenty-nine
of Nestlé's brands have annual sales of over CHF1 billion (about US$1.1 billion), including
Nespresso, Nescafé, Kit Kat, Smarties, Nesquik, Stouffer's, Vittel, and Maggi. Nestlé has 447
factories, operates in 194 countries, and employs around 339,000 people. It is one of the main
shareholders of L'Oreal, the world's largest cosmetics company.
Nestlé was formed in 1905 by the merger of the Anglo-Swiss Milk Company, established in
1866 by brothers George and Charles Page, and Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé, founded in 1866
by Henri Nestlé (born Heinrich Nestle). The company grew significantly during the First World
War and again following the Second World War, expanding its offerings beyond its early
condensed milk and infant formula products. The company has made a number of corporate
acquisitions, including Crosse & Blackwell in 1950, Findus in 1963, Libby's in 1971, Rowntree
Mackintosh in 1988, and Gerber in 2007.
Nestlé has a primary listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange and is a constituent of the Swiss Market
Index. It has a secondary listing on Euronext.
Nestlé India is a subsidiary of Nestlé S.A. of Switzerland. With eight factories and a large
number of co-packers, Nestlé India is a vibrant Company that provides consumers in India with
products of global standards and is committed to long-term sustainable growth and shareholder
satisfaction.
The Company insists on honesty, integrity and fairness in all aspects of its business and expects
the same in its relationships. This has earned it the trust and respect of every strata of society
that it comes in contact with and is acknowledged amongst India's 'Most Respected Companies'
and amongst the 'Top Wealth Creators of India'.

2
The Nestlé Corporate Business Principles are at the basis of our Company’s culture, developed
over 150 years, which reflects the ideas of fairness, honesty and long-term thinking.
Nestlé is the world’s largest food and beverage company. They have more than 2000 brands
ranging from global icons to local favorites, and are present in 191 countries around the world.
Nestlé's relationship with India dates back to 1912, when it began trading as The Nestlé Anglo-
Swiss Condensed Milk Company (Export) Limited, importing and selling finished products in
the Indian market.
After India's independence in 1947, the economic policies of the Indian Government
emphasized the need for local production. Nestlé responded to India's aspirations by forming a
company in India and set up its first factory in 1961 at Moga, Punjab, where the Government
wanted Nestlé to develop the milk economy. Progress in Moga required the introduction of
Nestlé's Agricultural Services to educate, advice and help the farmer in a variety of aspects.
From increasing the milk yield of their cows through improved dairy farming methods, to
irrigation, scientific crop management practices and helping with the procurement of bank
loans.
Nestlé set up milk collection centers that would not only ensure prompt collection and pay fair
prices, but also instil amongst the community, a confidence in the dairy business. Progress
involved the creation of prosperity on an on-going and sustainable basis that has resulted in not
just the transformation of Moga into a prosperous and vibrant milk district today, but a thriving
hub of industrial activity, as well.
Nestlé has been a partner in India's growth for over a century now and has built a very special
relationship of trust and commitment with the people of India. The Company's activities in
India have facilitated direct and indirect employment and provides livelihood to about one
million people including farmers, suppliers of packaging materials, services and other goods.
The Company continuously focuses its efforts to better understand the changing lifestyles of
India and anticipate consumer needs in order to provide Taste, Nutrition, Health and Wellness
through its product offerings. The culture of innovation and renovation within the Company
and access to the Nestlé Group's proprietary technology/Brands expertise and the extensive
centralized Research and Development facilities gives it a distinct advantage in these efforts.

3
It helps the Company to create value that can be sustained over the long term by offering
consumers a wide variety of high quality, safe food products at affordable prices.
Nestlé India manufactures products of truly international quality under internationally famous
brand names such as N Nescafé, Maggi, Milkybar, Kit Kat, Bar-One, Milkmaid and Nestea
and in recent years the Company has also introduced products of daily consumption and use
such as Nestlé Milk, Nestlé Slim Milk, Nestlé Dahi and Nestlé Jeera Raita.
Nestlé India is a responsible organization and facilitates initiatives that help to improve the
quality of life in the communities where it operates.

2.6 IMPACT OF MAGGI CONTROVERSY
The Maggi controversy has shattered many hearts, Maggi was not merely a product or a brand
in India, Indian consumer who is not used to suspect food standards, felt a deep sense of
betrayal by one of the most trusted food brand in India.
FSSAI noted three major violations:
1. Presence of lead detected in the product in excess of the maximum permissible levels
of 2.5 ppm.
2. Release of a non-standardized food product in the market, viz. “Maggi Oats Masala,
Noodles with Tastemaker” without risk assessment and grant of product approval.
3. Misleading labelling information on the package reading “No added MSG”.
Lab testing controversies:
1. MSG (Monosodium Glutamate): Testing found some MSG in Maggi noodles. The
packet stated “No added MSG”. However MSG naturally occurs in hydrolysed
groundnut protein, onion powder and wheat flour. Maggi offered to remove the words
“No added MSG” from the package to overcome the objection.
2. Lead: Out of the 13 samples tested by Delhi authorities, 10 of them had lead content
exceeding this limit. Testing outside of India (Singapore USA) resulted in reports that
Maggi noodles are safe. The court mandated testing to be done at three specific
laboratories (Punjab, Hyderabad and Jaipur) where Maggi was found safe. Some lead
occurs naturally in plants and soil. Some lead is found in Indian spices, although within
acceptable limits.
The effect of the Maggi noodle controversy on different aspects is listed below:
 Net Sales: Net sales reduced to 81,232.70 million ₹ in 2015 from 98,062.70 million ₹
in 2016.
 Profits: Profit reduced to 8,136.30 million ₹ in 2015 from 14,415.40 million ₹ in 2016.
 Earnings per Share: EPS reduced to 58.4 ₹ in 2015 from 122.9 ₹ in 2016.
 Dividends per Share: DPS reduced to 48.5 ₹ in 2015 from 63 ₹ in 2016.

3.4 PORTER’S 9-FORCES INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
1. Threat to/of New Entrant
 The Indian FMCG Industry is characterized with modest entry and exit barriers.
 Huge investments in setting up distribution networks, brand promotion and competition
from established companies restricts new entry.
2. Threat of Substitutes
 Multiple brands positioned with narrow product differentiation. Companies entering a
category tries to gain market share and compete on pricing which increases products
substitution.
 Threat of substitute is high in the industry.
3. Buyer’s Bargaining Power
 High brand loyalty for some products, thereby discouraging customers’ product shift.
 Low switching cost and aggressive marketing strategies under intense competition
induce customers to switch between products, thereby driving value for money deals
for consumers.
4. Supplier’s Bargaining Power
 Prices are generally governed by international commodity markets, making most
FMCG companies price takers.
 Due to the long term relationships with suppliers etc., FMCG companies negotiate
better rates during times of high input cost inflation.
5. Industry Competition
 Competitiveness among the Indian FMCG players is high.
 The industry is highly fragmented thus advertising spends continue to grow and
marketing budgets as well as strategies are becoming more aggressive. Private brands
offered by retailers at a discount to mainframe brands act as competition to
undifferentiated and weak brands.

23
6. Political Shift
 Infrastructure Issues: FMCG sector is very much dependent on government spending
on Agricultural, Power, and Transportation Infrastructure.
 Regulatory Factors: Separate permits and licenses for various states, prevailing labour
laws and complex & lengthy export procedures are major factors.
 Policy Framework: FDI into Retail sector, License rules in setting up of Industry,
Changes in Statutory Minimum Price of commodities are barriers for growth of this
sector.
7. Economical Shift
 GDP Growth: Growth of FMCG industry is consistent with the Indian economy. It has
grown over past 5 years which shows good scope for this sector in near future.
 Inflation: Inflation in India has not affected the Indian FMCG sector much.
 Consumer Income: Over the past years, there is an increased economic growth
resulting in increased consumer expenditure.
8. Socio-Cultural Shift
 Change in Consumer Profile: Rapid urbanization, increased literacy, increase in
nuclear families and rising per capita income, have caused rapid growth and change in
demand patterns.
 Change in Lifestyle: There is a change in consumption pattern of Indian consumer with
more spending on luxurious products (52%) than necessities.
 Rural Focus: Market is getting saturated, companies are focusing on rural areas by
providing consumers with small sized or single-use packs such as sachets.
9. Technological Shift
 Technological Advancement: Effective use of technology is seen only in leading
companies like HUL, ITC etc.
 E-Commerce: It’ll boost FMCG sales in future due to cheaper and effective outreach.
 Digitalization: 150 million consumers would be influenced by digital by 2020 and this
will increase the market by more than $45 billion in FMCG categories.

nearly 21%.
 Rise in rural consumption is all set to drive the FMCG market. It is estimated to grow

Fig. 3.7.1: CAGR of FMCG Sector from 2007-2016

28
4. CONCLUSION
 This sector will continue to see growth as it depends on an ever-increasing internal
market for consumption, and demand for these goods remains more or less constant,
irrespective of recession or inflation.
 Availability of key raw materials, cheaper labor costs and presence across the entire
value chain gives Indian FMCG industry a competitive advantage.
 Penetration level as well as per capita consumption in most product categories like
jams, toothpaste, skin care, hair wash etc. in India is low, indicating the untapped
market potential.
 Increasing Indian population, particularly the middle class and the rural segments,
presents an opportunity to makers of branded products to convert consumers to branded
products.
 Nestle India was on its way to continuous growth from 2012 to 2016 but the Maggi
Noodles controversy not only dented the company’s image internationally but also gave
the competitors the chance to acquire the market share from Nestle.
 Financial year 2015 (Jan to Dec) proved to be a year worth forgetting as due to the
Maggi noodles their revenues decreased and their involvement with the various law
agencies resulted in drastically less profits.
 Nestle being a global player is trying its best to come out of the ‘MaggiGate’ and in
fact recorded increased sales, revenues and profits in the subsequent financial year
2016.
 There was very low impact of demonetization and GST on Nestle but most of the
negative impact it went through was due to the Maggi noodles controversy, but Nestle
now has almost recovered from the ‘shock’ and is again on its way towards growth.
