PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT COURSE

Page 9: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

INTRODUCTION

Personality development is the development of the organized pattern of behaviour's

and attitudes that makes a person distinctive. Personality development occurs by the

on-going interaction of temperament, character, and environment.

Personality development course basically deals with the public speaking and

Grooming of individuals

Now a days every organization wants to have multi talented man power, so we need

to develop ourselves at all the level

Personality development training helps you to overcome all these difficulties and

speak with confidence. It includes

1. Dressing sense

2. Speech

3. Body language

4. Behaviour

5. Habits

Page 10: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

OBJECTIVES

To study and evaluate the feasibility of introducing personality development course into HCL

CDC business

The main objective of our study is to design a course that gives students a platform to

develop and hone themselves into a better professional

To identify how potential students choose where to study, both in terms of institution and

course

Improve and excel in presentation skills.

Educational and professional reasons

Page 14: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

LIMITATIONS

Limitations: General psyche of the Indians can be a problem

Some people can find this course expensive

Majority of the population will have high placement expectations

Difficult to categorize the respondents as both students and professionals are part of

the sample

No exact statistics available which would ensure the market size/opportunity with

regards to Personality development course

Page 15: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

OPPORTUNITY

India produces 50 lakh graduates every year

Experts say with poor English language skills, computer training and analytical ability,

making the cut from the classroom to the boardroom is not easy

Page 28: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

RECOMMENDATIONS

Personality development has various modules that are being provided as a different

course in it-self thus an English speaking course is something which I suggested

HCL CDC needs to increase its awareness so as to increase its market share and

attract new students/clientele

A further tie up can be done with the likes of British council so that a state of the art

content can be developed

BRIEF RESEARCH ON ENGLISH SPEAKING COURSE

Page 30: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

MARKET SIZE

The size of the ELT market in the K12 segment is expected to increase from around

USD 587 million in 2012 to USD 1.32 billion in 2015 (with an estimated CAGR of

31%)

The total ELT market size in the focus segments is expected to grow from USD 2.76

billion in 2012 to USD 4.67 billion in 2015

There is a lot of room for expansion of the private English language training, which in

2010 the British Council called a ‘large and growing market’, estimated to be worth

$450million

LEARNINGS

I learnt that never assume things before conducting a proper research it is all

hypothesis. For ex- in my project it can be easy to assume that people do opt for

personality development course but any conclusion or a business decision should

not be made without being backed up by a proper statistical proof.

The respondents tend to give out pretentious responses to the question thus it should

be carefully recorded/judged by the researcher

We never know the actual relation between positive response to an actual

consumption of the good/service as the respondents tend to change their mind at the

time of purchasing

I learnt how to draft a questionnaire for an expanding business

Also learnt how to tweak competitor’s product and introduce them with different

approach into our line of business

Learnt pivot table analysis technique

Page 34: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

LEARNINGS

I reached the conclusion of doing a research on English language course as majority

of the respondents wanted language skills training backed by proper presentation

technique

So I know that one research can lead to a new business idea as the market trend and

preference is being read

Certain grey areas to avoid while expanding the business was also learnt like certain

institutes stopped personality development course as the student turnover ratio for

that particular course was not profitable for the institute

Page 35: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

CONCLUSION

From the responses and feedback taken from the institutes and the respondents I

suggested that it is not feasible for us to introduce personality development course in

to HCL CDC ( career development Centre) business

Page 39: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH- We used this method of research as the product is still in concept

stages and the problem has not been clearly defined, data would be collected and as a source of

information we can reach a decision based on our findings.

SOURCES OF DATA

PRIMARY DATA- The data recorded was done via interaction with the school teachers and the

directors as this is a new product with no competitors hence no secondary data was available

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE USED- We used QUOTA SAMPLING METHOD as our sample mix

consisted of school principals and directors.

Quantitative research: After doing a thorough research we would quantify the responses which

would help us conclude our research and reach a conclusion

STATISTICAL TOOL USED- MICROSOFT EXCEL (PIVOT TABLE)

Page 40: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

Response towards annual content up gradation charge of 10k.

50% of the potential clients either disagree or turn to a may-be school when they hear about the annual up gradation cost.

Page 53: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

Response to comfort factor at the price point of 50k-60k

• Majority of the schools are located in the rural areas and thus are financially weak.• They ask for EMI options.• The one’s who fall on the may be parameter want the technology but want certain discount

I.E they want the Product to be priced at 40k.

OVERALL VERDICT

1. Out of the total sample size of 43. 25 principals said that they wouldn’t buy this product 2. 7 were unsure and said they might think about the purchase3. 11 principals said that they would buy the product when launched

Page 56: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

Problems/Challenges(with the target market)

Clientele/gentry. Principals said that the students come from financially poor back ground and

will take this as a leisure activity rather than serious learning.

Parents will not approve as their mentality is such that they need a human i.e. a teacher for their

children.

Some principals suggested that such services will be a flop in rural areas as no body takes digital

learning seriously.

The Principals say that computer education is must. But refrain from using it blaming that children

are not serious about using computers for knowledge purposes

Some principals also say that they do not use computers because of running costs i.e usage of

electricity.

Finances would be a major problem

Factors such as electricity supply and theft are major concerns as well

Page 57: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

Observations

DIGI-LITE will find it hard to create a new market.

The only schools interested in the product are the one’s who already have some kind of exposure

towards digital class room solutions.

Newly constructed schools seem interested but it is hard to judge whether they will actually buy

or not .

Almost every Positive respondent needs an EMI option.

They look for discounts when they know that there is no EMI model available.

Page 58: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

SUGGESTIONS

It would be better if there was an EMI model available as most of the schools do not have strong

spending power.

The ideal pricing of the product should be around 40-45k as this would turn may-be schools to a

definite client.

Certain Schools can be given the product on trial basis as this could create a value and a need

of our product.

Newly constructed schools are hot prospects for us as they have liquid finances available and

are not moved by additional charge of 10k annually.

A demo version of our content can be given to schools so that they could understand our product

better and ultimately buy the product.

We should also organize workshops which would not only educate the principals but also create

brand awareness and potential clients.

Page 59: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

CONCLUSION

After the completion of the research certain insights were taken into considerations regarding

launching the product for semi-urban and rural market. Factors such as market size was the keen

driving force while launching the product.

 

THE PRODUCT THAT WILL BE LAUNCHED HAS BEEN NAMED EASY SCHOOL

Premium Private Schools ~50,000

- Catered through Digital Classroom Solutions like Digischool

Basic Private Schools ~2,50,000

-Medium Buying Power - No Solution to Meet Needs

- Aspiration to become Premium

Government Schools~10,00,000

Low Buying Power - Mostly Uncatered

Page 60: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

1. Time constraint- the time given to carry out the research was less than what was required for

recording more number of samples.

2. Schools either had examinations or were preparing for their new sessions which led to less

sample size in this demography.

3. It was hard to reach a buy/ no-buy conclusion based on the principals views as they were too

reluctant to give an answer when asked would you buy our product or not.

4. In the first phase of my research an exact value of the product was not being delivered as the

content was not viewed by the principals.

5. The schools Targeted are mostly Semi urban / Rural and are price sensitive.

6. Have limited/no online Presence ( lack of details online)

Page 61: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL

Page 62: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL

1.  Threat of New Entrants: The easier it is for new companies to enter the industry, the more cutthroat competition we as a company would face. Factors that can limit the threat of new entrants are known as Barrier to Entry.  

• In education industry, there are many restrictions as companies have to follow certain guidelines set by Government & various educational policies.

 

• Initial setup cost is high as building a complete marketing network is difficult.

 

• It is difficult to achieve economies of scale for initial phase of 2-3 years.

 

There will be a less threat of new entrants in terms of digital classroom learning

Page 63: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

2. Threat of substitutes: What is the likelihood that someone will switch to a competitive product or

service? If the cost of switching is low, then this poses a serious threat. Here are a few factors

that can affect the threat of substitutes:

 In education industry, there are fewer restrictions when it comes to provide the content online.

 Like Merit Nation is providing the same content as HCL is providing, that is even free of cost.

Similarly many other companies are providing the content online. Hence principals tend to use

their own hardware and display the content

 Some companies can come up with innovative products which can be cheaper hence schools

might shift towards the best substitute available

 A fall in the quality of our product / poor after sale service can lead to loss of client ultimately

substituting our product with a rival’s product

 

.

 

 

 

 

Page 64: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

3. Bargaining Power of Suppliers: This is how much pressure suppliers can place on a business.

If one supplier has a large enough impact to affect a company's margins and volumes, then it

holds substantial power.

HCL Learning has a team of content developers and voice over actors, so the power of suppliers

decreases.

HCL has selected its suppliers after a thorough search for various components for digi-school

which provide right value with several components like exercise duty exemption.

They are supplying the product at very less cost as compared to other competitors

Page 65: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

4. Bargaining Power of Buyers: This is how much pressure customers can place on a business. If

one customer has a large enough impact to affect a company's margins and volumes, then the

customer hold substantial power

The role of freely available and instantaneous information relating to course descriptions, and

video lectures, give students more power of choice..

In education sector many companies offering same product at different & competitive cost.

The buyers have lot of options available and buy their digital classroom solutions based on the

best EMI model available to them

5. Competitive Rivalry within the Industry: This describes the intensity of competition between

existing firms in an industry. Highly competitive industries generally earn low returns because the

cost of competition is high.

Education sector has no current dominance because of competitive cost products available.

Same products are offered by different firms at different prices.

The pricing has to be competitive and the after sales service should be highly competent to gain

maximum market share and revenue

Page 66: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

S.W.O.T ANALYSIS

• Players like educomp, pearson creating business problems

• Availability of content online by other players

• Emergence of new competiton e.g vodafone

• Semi urban and rural market is untapped

• Schools are opting towards digital means of learning

• Increasing awareness about digital means of learning

• Lacks market awareness

• less promotional campaigns

• Expensive• Misjudgement in

terms of internet based learning

• After sales service need Improvement

• Brand name and value• State of the art content• Best infrastructure in the market• Interactive content with 3D-2D

COURSE OUTLINE FOR DIGITAL MARKETING

Page 68: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

OBJECTIVE

To design a course outline in a way that has an edge over its competitors

Insert practical examples from the actual world of digital marketing

Outline the course with statistical figures with reference to Indian digital market

While developing the course the total course modules were divided amongst 6 interns and my part

included

1. Situating digital in marketing

2. Digital marketing strategy

3. Market research

Page 69: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

• Increasing number of local players in the market

• High price of courses

• Changing technology at a faster pace

• IT industry and education sector is booming every year

• Tremendous demand for digital marketing certificate holders

• Relatively new in the field of learning

• lacks brand awareness

• Less promotions and advertising campaigns

• Mismanagement in launching of course dates

• Brand name of hcl• Well trained and experienced

faculty• Good infrastructure support• State of the art content

S.W.O.T ANALYSIS HCL CDC

Page 70: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

PORTER’S FIVE FORCE MODEL FOR DIGITAL MARKETING COURSE

1. Barriers to entry

Low barriers to entry in terms of governmental regime.

Low capital investment required making entry easier

Course can be easily accessible via different mediums like online/offline making entry more

easier ( personality development content as well as digital marketing content)

2. Bargaining power of Buyers

High bargaining power as number of players offering course at variant price points via different

mediums

Customers can easily switch from one player’s course to another player’s course as there is not

much brand loyalty and product differentiation

Page 71: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

3. Bargaining power of supplier

Low bargaining power as number of players offering the course at low to medium price points

Not much differentiation in terms of the course content and methodology so can be easily

switchable from one player to other

The suppliers do not have a lot of options as hcl has a content development team hence the

primary source of course deliverance is sorted

4. Industry Competitors Many large and small players creating edge to edge competition.

Since fixed cost structure is less so CDC courses can be easily introduced by any players

making industry more competitive.

Since digital marketing is a new trend so market is growing exponentially and new players are

coming in to take a piece of this pie.

Page 72: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

5. THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES In education industry, there are fewer restrictions when it comes to provide the content online.

Competitors like DSIM in offering placement assistance which would give the students an

alternative

A fall in the quality of our product / poor course content / unacceptable quality students can be

one of the reasons that students might shift towards a competitor

Page 73: VIVEK KAPOOR PRESENTATION

LEARNINGS

Never assume anything unless and until you have facts that are being backed by genuine data

How to make and formulate a questionnaire that helps in analysing and finding out about the

current pricing points , consumer behaviour and their expectation from the product

How to record accurate data and compile it

How to relate the collected data with the company’s goal and objectives

How can we go about tweaking the current product and come up with the best possible solution

in terms of what the we can offer which will meet the market needs

The respondents tend to give out pretentious responses to the question thus it should be

carefully recorded/judged by the researcher

We never know the actual relation between positive response to an actual consumption of the

good/service as the respondents tend to change their mind at the time of purchasing

In terms of compiling a course content always use secondary data and start with the basics and then gradually go into details
