Industrial Overview:
Indians have evolved from a time where “champi” was the sole mean of haircare. Today, a
plethora of options are available from shampoos and conditioners to hair dyes, serums and hair
colours. According to AC Nielson, the Indian shampoo industry is estimated at INR14 billion
and is growing at an average rate of 20% per annum.
The shampoo industry is divided on two basic platforms – cosmetic (shine, health and strength),
herbal and anti-dandruff. The anti-dandruff segment that grows at 10-20% annually is the
fastest growing segment.

segment, giving shampoo giants a huge opportunity to experiment in this sector. With
increasing awareness and growing advertising activates, shampoo penetration is likely to
multiply threefold in the coming years. There is a lot of opportunities for herbal shampoos in

This is an introductory stage where the company launches its product to the market. This is
where we get to know about the customers demand for our product. The company is offering
powdered shampoo for the customers. As customers have been using liquid shampoo, we feel
that they want some change. So, we have come up with a different idea. We got to know that
the customers find it difficult to purchase different brands & preferences for different age
groups and gender. We offer the product in different quantity bottles such as
1 bottle = 100gm
1 bottle = 250gm
Processing:
We are using 3 machineries for production. The first machinery is used for powdering process
of the raw materials i.e., papaya seeds, almond, amla and neem. Here all the ingredients are
mixed together to form a powder. The output from the first machine is sent for the second
process for refining. There is a doorway at the bottom of the machine which opens and powder
is filled in multiple bottles according to the orders received from the customers. The last
process is the packaging and labelling of the product.

organic cosmetics and skin and hair care rising need for environment- and animal-friendly
products is expected to drive the growth. Growing awareness regarding various benefits of
organic products as has resulted in increase in their demand over the last few years. Organic
products are derived from natural resources and are free from harmful chemicals. As the current
trend we see people using organic products so that is why we have come up with organic
powder hair shampoo, which has natural ingredients which is good for the health.

as the concept of powder shampoo is not new, there are lot of competitors who are producing
and selling powder shampoo. While looking at the market coverage in Mangalore, it is
comparatively less. So the competition in Mangalore is less so it’s a suitable place to start the
business and then if the sale increases and if the customers are happy with our product we will
be planning to spread our to distribution around the other markets
