EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ayurvedic medicine has now become an integral part of human health and safety. Ayurvedic people

consume Ayurvedic products as a part of treatment to cure disease and also as a part of preventive

healthcare there is a shifting of allopath to ayurveda is an emerging trend in India and also in western

countries. .

In this report we have taken UT tone which is Ayurvedic tonic. This is 100 percent pure Ayurvedic

preparation made from extracts, fruit, trunk, leaves, flower etc. This tonic is mainly used to cure

feminine problems in female as well as in the treatment of amenorrhea, infertility, anemia etc. Since this

is purely ayurveda project it does not show any visible side effects as well as no internal toxicity or

adverse effect to any organs. Though it is long term treatment but it cures feminine problems in female.

The present market survey aims to understand what the potential market for this Ayurvedic preparation

is. In this report we have captured perception analysis of gynecologist for UT tone tonic. In this report

we have also presented brand plan and promotional tools for launching UT tone under the title of

Lincoln Pharma. To prepare brand plan and cost analysis we have used CMS/ORG data for understanding

present UT tone market and potential market. We have also included budget calculation. We have also

suggested brand name and USP to cater larger market share in current total market.

In our survey we met gynecologists to know and understand their perception about this Ayurvedic

preparation. We have also included comparison of ingredients of UT tone and competitor’s product and

their ingredients.

2) Current Marketing Situation

Indian pharmaceutical market in 2010

o Rs 41,700.7 Cr

Lincoln Pharmaceutical Ltd Market in 2010

o Rs 126.3 Cr (Export is around Rs 100 Cr and Indian Market is around Rs 26.3 Cr)

2.1) Growth of Indian Pharmaceutical Market and Lincoln Pharmaceutical

market

For IPM For Lincoln pharmaceutical Ltd

2007

2008 14.98 25

2009 10.23 -25

2010 17.68 0.38

Here reason for negative growth for Lincoln Pharmaceutical is that after 2008, Lincoln

pharmaceutical has concentrated more on export rather than Indian pharmaceutical market

2.2) Introduction to Gynaec Market

Pharmaceutical is growing rapidly so as we are concern about Gynaec division how it is actually

segmented in main two parts is shown in this figure. So mainly total market is divided in four major

segments.

o Hormones

o VMS (Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements)

o Anti-infective

o Others

So basically two main questions arise

o What is estimated market for gynecological products?

o What is the growth rate of that market?

So answer for these two important questions are given in below figure.

11) Reflective Note

Our entire work on project is comprised of several learning phases. In first and foremost learning phase

we learned systematic approach to work with company. Starting from making research proposal and

various stages need to follow in successful completion of project. During this phase we learned what the

theoretical framework for preparing research proposal is and how it is made.

In second phase we have gone through literature review for preparing questionnaire perception analysis

of gynecologist for UT Tone. After studying the details in this phase we prepared questionnaire that we

carry personally to the gynecologist receive feedback on that questionnaire. Here we have some sour

and sweet experience. During our survey I met MR. Mr. C T Kapadia and Ms. Alefiya Contractor and We

was glad to meet such an eminent and down to earth personality.

In third stage as we have collected information from gynecologist we have started it to digitalized and

run SPSS on it to bring out analysis. Simultaneously we are also working on the market analysis

regarding competitors’ of UT tone, their market share, Ingredients of other uterine tonic their processes.

In final stage we have worked upon preparing brand plan for UT Tone. We have come up with budget

sheet. We have also design promotional tools for as a part of launching plan.

While working on a live project at Lincoln Pharmaceutical we learn a lot and have hands on experience

of making brand plan. We have collected number of pebbles of experience in our carry bag. The first and

foremost learning we got is how one can utilizes his/her resources and try to rip maximum benefits.

In a nut shell we can say that there are sweet and sour experiences. With the kind of challenges and

situation we pass through we can say that it has made us industry ready. Here we also got the

opportunity to see various personalities and because of this live project we also get an opportunity to

get a new live project.

Last but not least we would like to mention few people who have contributed a lot and without them

this project can not be successfully completed. The entire gynecologist we met for our live project, their

administrative staff for their kind and generous support and behavior.
