Cooking Oil Company in India

Cooking Oil Company in India INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE TOPIC Cooking oil is purified fat of plant origin, which is usually liquid at room temperature (Saturated oils such as coconut and palm are more solid at room temperature than other oils). Some of the many different kinds of edible vegetable oils include: olive oil, palm oil, soybean oil, canola oil, pumpkin seed oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, grape seed oil, sesame oil, argan oil and rice bran oil. Many other kinds of vegetable oils are also used for cooking. The generic term vegetable oil when used to label a cooking oil product refers to a blend of a variety of oils often based on palm, corn, soybean or sunflower oils. Oil can be flavored by immersing aromatic food stuffs such as fresh herbs, peppers, garlic and so forth in the oil for a period of time. However, care must be taken when storing flavored oils to prevent the growth of Clostridium botulinum (the bacteria that produces toxins that can lead tobotulism). Product Origin: India Description: Pandey Groups Ltd. (PGL), a Rs. 2700 crore company; is a joint venture between two global corporations.

Audience Situation Paneer, pakoras and more 1. One of the ads, titled Railway station, is about an elderly couple making a train journey. The husband realises that his wife hasnt prepared the customary ‘pakoras for the journey this time. Forgetting the he was supposed to arrange for a taxi, he busies himself in preparing the pakoras when his wife offers to make them. The couple miss the train due to the delay, but share a mischievous moment on the platform when they gorge on the pakoras. 2. The second commercial is about a young man who lives away from home with a group of friends. He steps home after his day at work and reaches for some stale pizza; his sister calls him just then, asking what he is having for dinner. He cooks up a story, telling her hes having ‘muttar paneer just so that she doesnt feel bad about his eating habits away from home. His sister then reprimands him on why he didnt leave his dirty shoes out at the door, to which he turns around to see that his sister has actually brought him some home cooked food. A third film is on its way. Apart from the commercials, the campaign consists of a mix of press, hoardings and bus shelters. Radio is specifically to be used in Tamil Nadu. Of the total budget, Fortune has allotted about 15 per cent to outdoor, while 10 per cent and 5 per cent will go to press and radio respectively. A huge 70 per cent of the budget is directed to TV and electronic media. National and regional channels are being employed. Competitive Situation Pandey Groups is the leader in edible oil.
