Ganga soap was launched with much fanfare in 1993. Western Media's projection or prejudice.

BBC & National geography, Ganga soap going to be the best selling bar in the upcoming year

Re-launch ( Dudh-Ganga) 1997.The soap attained salvation in the early 2000.

Consumer research

• Besed on footfall (Kumbh mela 1992)

Wrong positioning

Religious soap

Purity and Gentleness like the Pears Soap.

Brand irrelevance

• Relate soaps with gods

" Now bath in Ganga“

Ineffective promotion.
