Project Report

INTRODUCTION
It was in the year 1928 that T T Krishnamachari, the first finance minister of India.
Founded TTK Prestige, one of the oldest business houses in the country today. Having
initially pioneered and established a network of distribution, TTK Prestige moved to
manufacturing, post-independence. Being a dynamic and fast growing company, it soon
became the leading manufacturer of Pressure cookers in India and offered the most
comprehensive range of kitchenware in the world.

One of the main reasons why TTK attained its leadership status is because it epitomised
quality at an affordable price. It innovated and explored new business categories, all the
while keeping its Indian identity intact. A company built on the foundation of trust,
transparency and knowledge; TTK has grown to an impressive size today. Its a 6000-crore
group with 15 manufacturing units and 5000 employees. With products and facilities that
enjoy international accreditations, TTK enjoys a presence in over 4, 00,000 retail outlets
across the country. Pressure cookers, toys, condoms, ready to fry foods; ball pens and
cartography encompass some of the products TTK pioneers and deals in. And of course, it
also has a strong business presence abroad and is associated with international
organizations like SSL, Sara Lee, and DuPont etc.

Setting up a manufacturing facility in Bangalore in 1949 kick-started the success saga that
continues to grow more distinct by the day. Through the years, Prestige has always initiated
numerous manufacturing and marketing innovations; be it something as unconventional as
dropping pamphlets from a helicopter in the fifties or the popular Exchange Schemes,
which have become the order of the day today, Prestige, continues to give customers
complete value for money.
In the 1990s Prestige introduced Manttra, targeting people abroad whose cuisine was compatible
with pressure-cooking. It was well received. With leading chain stores like Macys, Target, Kohl,
Wal-Mart, K-mart and Sears stocking the brand, Prestige ensured that pressure-cooking as a
concept came back into practice in the US. Continually adding more feathers to its hat, Prestige is
getting bigger than ever. With strategic planning and sound market knowledge, today Prestige is
truly an unstoppable force.
Prestige always stands for maximum value for money. The brand believes in this maxim to
the core and it is visible in all its promotional campaigns A look at Prestiges campaigns
reveals a succession of innovative promotions. Their communications can clearly be
differentiated from any other. Whether it was the Jo Biwi se kare pyaar, voh Prestige se
kaise kare inkaar commercial or the first floor second floor or the Muh khula, muh
bandh television commercials, every advertisement has stood out in the crowd.
Promotional campaigns like happy exchanges offer have won regional awards. In fact,
did you know Prestige pioneered the concept of exchange in the kitchenware category in
India and the rest followed?

Out of the box product and cutting edge television commercials have worked out very well
for the brand and its promotions. Campaigns for Exchange Offers like idhu eppadi irukku
have increased the sales and also got lots of appreciation for the brand during the lean
months.
These clever promotions helped media latch on to the concept and consumers started looking
forward to these promotional activities year after year. There are many more, the latest being the
exchange anything for anything offer. An all- new concept, this offer promises the consumer
complete freedom of choice. This enables the consumer to exchange any old kitchen product for
any new Prestige product. This promotion excited the consumers as it was to their comfort and
broke all rules.
One of the greatest recent achievements for Prestige is its entry into the non-south market.
Having done its research, Prestige introduced an innovative cooker like the colourful
Pressure Handis that compliment their style of cooking. Prestige is making its presence felt
in the non-south market as well.

One Prestige Pressure Cooker gets sold in India every thirty seconds. Prestige added over
2.8 million customers in the year 2005-06, the largest in the industry till date. The company
has the widest distribution network across the country in the kitchen appliances category.
All pioneering efforts in this industry such as the introduction of the Pressure pan, Pressure
Handi, Pressure Kadai, Metal spoon friendly cookware, Duplex gas stoves, Lifetime free
service on mixer grinders were launched by Prestige Prestige was also the pioneer in
launching unique display contests for its dealers, with contests such as the Display contest
- Go for Gold. The Duplex gas stove commercial created such an impact that people
walked into Prestige Smart Kitchen outlets, asking for first floor-second floor gas stoves.

cooker category.
Deluxe was Indias first pressure cooker with the unique Pressure Indicator that serves as a
visual confirmation when it was safe to open the cooker.

The launch of Prestige Omega and Omega Select - Indias first Metal spoon friendly non-
stick cookware was another breakthrough and an unrivalled success.

Prestige was the first cooker company to offer a ten-year warranty on its Euro clad base
pressure cookers as well as the first to offer lifetime free service on its range of mixer
grinders.
Prestige was the first to come up with a host of innovations in consumer marketing in this
industry with offers such as On the spot exchange schemes, Exchange Anything for
Anything offers, etc.

Gasket Release System (GRS), the Gasket Offset Device (GOD), the Pressure Indicator
(PI) and the Resettable Safety Device (RSD).
