4. When X re-entered India, Y had the highest (36%) market share,

with Z a distant second at 26%. X made a generous offer to the

Chauhan Brothers (Owner of Y) and Y was bought.To any sane

marketer, buying a market leader and incorporating it would seem

a logical move, but the story of Y is more interesting than that. X

actually bought the brand to kill it, so it could take its place. But Y

just refused to die. The mass resonated with the brand and they

kept it alive.The problem for X began when, in the absence of Y, Z

started to gain market. And thus began the story of resurrection

and conquest of one of the most iconic brands of India.Today, Y

still rules with 16% market share with Z with 15% market share.

cakes. Three years later, he quit his job, and set up a small

unit in Ahmedabad,manufacturing X. Within a decade, it was

prominent brands. One factor was the pricing; with its

lower pricing, and a good quality, it quickly captured the

Indian market.
