2. Fresh milk startup Country Delight has raised $7-10 million in a Series B
funding round led by venture capital firm Matrix Partners. The company claims to
source milk directly from the farm, eliminating the middle men and allowing
farmers to earn a premium. It also invests in cold chain and quality testing
infrastructure at the farmer’s location. The company offers other milk-based
products including paneer, curd and ghee through its mobile app. How do you
think technology can help this startup in improving the dairy supply chain from
process management to tracking products and deliveries? (Source:

3. The northern Spanish city of Santander has become the testing ground for "smart
cities" around the world. Smart Santander is a smart city experiment aimed at
improving the quality of life, reducing energy consumption and engaging its
citizens in civic duties. The city implemented wireless sensor networks and
embedded 10,000 sensors on its streets and municipal vehicles to monitor garbage
collections, crime air quality and manage street lighting for better energy
efficiency. The Santander Smart City platform allows to integrate all the
information of the different municipal services and thousands of sensors deployed
by the city. The latter devices collect multiple data: from air quality, noise or
temperature to which parking lots are free or occupied on different streets or when
it is necessary to water a particular park or garden. For example, buses have
sensors at the top that allow to know the level of pollution in different areas of the
city. They have also been installed on street lamps and walls inside small white
boxes in order to measure noise, temperature or brightness. Multiple devices
installed on the ground monitor how many cars are parked in certain streets while
different information panels indicate the free places in a given area to park the car.
Even paper containers and containers have volumetric measurement sensors that
indicate how full they are. This information is especially valuable when planning
collection routes, which may vary according to needs. As garbage trucks are also
intelligent, it is possible to monitor their travel and activity. Source:

manager choose to get the desired behaviour? Conclude by giving why it (the one
which you chose) is the best suited.

Brand Management
1. The market size of India’s beauty, cosmetic, and grooming market is expected to
reach $ 20 billion by 2025 from the $ 6.5 billion, with the rise in disposable
income of the middle class and growing aspirations of people to live a good life
and look good. This was surely a huge opportunity for Nivea brand in India.
The 120-year old, Hamburg (Germany) based Beiersdorf has often been credited
for meticulously building the Nivea brand into the world's number one personal
care brand. According to a survey conducted by A C Nielsen in the late 1990s, the
brand had a 15% share in the global skin care products market. While Nivea had
always been the company's star performer, the 1990s were a period of phenomenal
growth for the brand. By successfully extending what was essentially a 'one-
product wonder' into many different product categories, Beiersdorf had silenced
many critics of its umbrella branding decisions
For year ended December 2017, Beiersdorf surpassed HUL in the deodorants
segment for the first time, with an 8.7% share of the urban market, compared with
HUL’s Axe that had 7.7% share. A year ago, HUL’s share was 8.3%, versus
Nivea’s 7.1%. Since 2011, Nivea India has been the fastest growing affiliate within
Beiersdorf’s operations. “In all the segments that Nivea has entered, it has gone
from being an insignificant brand into one of the top three brands in the category,”
said Rakshit Hargave, SVP for Beiersdorf India and Sub-Saharan Africa. “In 2016,
Nivea has outgrown the category by three times and has been able to beat market
sluggishness in the December quarter.”

Davidson’, the US giant said it is developing small-displacement (250-500 cc) bike
for Asia’s emerging markets through a strategic tie-up with a manufacturer in Asia.
This new product and broader distribution is intended to fuel Harley-Davidson’s
customer access and growth in India, one of the largest, fastest growing markets in
the world, and other Asia markets,” the company said in a statement. Harley-
Davidson plans to offer its most comprehensive lineup of motorcycles, competing

beauty cleansing Bar. With its patented blend of mild cleansers and ¼ moisturizing
cream, it is #1 Dermatologist Recommended brand in the US.
Today apart from its moisturizing soap, Dove has extended the brand by launching
many new products like: Body Washes, Hand and Body Lotions, Facial Cleansers,
Deodorants, Shampoos, Conditioners and Hair Styling products. In India,
Consumer goods major Hindustan Unilever launched a brand of soap in 1990s that
was considered expensive, frightfully expensive, for the times we lived in. For
about Rs 30 for a bar, it was nearly twice as expensive as any toilet soap brand that
was then sold in India.
Dove did what it does best all over the world - not use supermodels to endorse the
brand. Rather it got real women who used the product to give testimonials of their
experience with the brand. In India, Doves brand team in the 1990s decided to
adopt the same line of thought for the Indian market too. In some ways the brand
was the opposite of Lux, the beauty bar of film stars. Dove showed beauty in
ordinary people. Dove extended to shampoos in 2007, the brand decided to take the
similar route. However, this time around user-generated content had started
becoming very popular. HUL tied up with online service providers and even took
content generation offline. Camera crews in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore asked
women questions on hair care. In less than two weeks about 1,000 minutes of
video footage was recorded and uploaded on popular portals. In a span of 9 days,
over 250 women were interviewed and 1,000 minutes of footage recorded. This
content when uploaded online elicited a huge response and according to HUL took
the online involvement of consumers to a new high. Then talking about damage to
hair in the daily routine of real women like

3. In Chandrapur, renamed the coal city, Western Coalfield Ltd’s (WCL), a public
sector coal mining company’s, overburden dumps are located very close to the
river beds. The Mana and Lalpeth mines, especially, have dumped so much over-
burden in the Irai river that the river-bed has risen by several meters. Coal mining
so close to rivers may also cause damage to the mines themselves. During heavy
rains river water enters the mines even now, making coal extraction very difficult.
The move to allow coal mining activities up to 250 meter from river banks has
angered environment groups, especially in Vidarbha, an area currently reeling
under floods, and where major rivers like Wardha and Irai are already heavily
polluted because of coal mining. If the mines are moved closer, such incidents will
rise, posing danger to mine workers. WCL will also incur losses. Mining has also
adversely impacted river fauna. The forest land is turning into a desert and the wild
life, specially tigers are disappearing. Somehow we have failed to intelligently
sustain and manage the resources of nature, the primary source of all supply chain.
