Haldiram, the brand name that is always associated with quality product and service. It
took more than six decades to become the leading manufacturer of Indian savory snacks.
The savory snacks industry has been immensely through all these years to form an
industry of about $425 millions. And the market potential for this industry is estimated
to be around $ 1 billion. The savory snacks market is divided into organized sector
and an unorganized sector. Currently, about 45 % of the market is being served by the
organizes sector and the balance 55% is served by the unorganized sector. Presently the
company has 20% market share of the organized sector.
This project deals with analyses of various operations performed by human resource
personnel at Haldirams ltd. It includes all the procedures and policies followed at this
company related to human resource operations. The various operations include:
Recruitment, job analysis, competency mapping, gap analysis, and skill matrix.
In recruitment I have analyzed the process of recruitment followed at Haldirams starting
with job requirement, job analysis , searching the candidate through job portals,
references or campus, then interview and final selection. I have also studied the criteria to
map the competencies of various personnel and job as well .Then I studied how to do
measure and analyze the gap between what is desired and what the actual performance is
at the end.
At last I was told how to prepare the skill matrix for various positions and jobs.

The competition in the ready-to-eat snack foods market in India was intensifying. Frito
Lay India ltd. (Frito Lay), one of Haldirams major competitors, was expanding its
market share. Instead of directly competing with the market leader Haldirams, the
company launched innovative products in the market and backed them with heavy
publicity. Frito Lays product range consisted of a mixture of traditional Indian and
western flavors which appealed to younger and older generations. Its products included
Lehar Namkeens, Lehar Kurume (snack sticks), Lays (flavored Chips), and Cheetos (snack
balls), Uncle Chips and Nutyumz (nut snacks). Frito-Lay was the first company to launch
small 35 gm packs namkeens priced at Rs. 5 and also the first company in the organized
sector to launch Aloo Bhujia Another competitor, SM Foods, introduced a range of
innovative products.
The company launched Indias first non-wafer chips in 1988. SM offered products under
two main brands Peppy and Picnic. Under Peppy, it had sub brands such as Cheese
16
Balls, Ringos, Hi Protein Crispies, Potato Rackets, Hearts, Veggie Treat, Mixtures and
Minerette. Under Picnic, it had Protein Pin, Junior and Corn Puffs.
Haldirams also faced tough competition from domestic players such as Britannia
Industries Ltd., Bikanerwala Foods and ITC. In addition, FMCG major HLL had also
announced plans to enter the snack food market. Analysts felt that Haldirams lagged
behind competitors in offering snack foods targeted at children, who were always eager
to try new flavors in every product category.
They felt that the company concentrated too much on traditional Indian items such as
Bhujia Sev and Moong Dal. Haldirams had in fact, taken steps to fill the gaps in its
portfolio. Rajendra Agarwal, the owner of the Nagpur unit said, We want to expand our
market by introducing snacks that will appeal to younger people. There will be no growth
in the traditional snacks category.. The unit planned to launch products such as flavored
ready-to-eat popcorn and a product similar to Leher Kurkure. Though Haldirams had
increased its focus on advertising and promotion in the last couple of years, still more
initiatives in this direction were necessary. Frito Lays expenditure on product
promotion was much higher. With successful ad campaigns such as control nahin hotha
(it is irresistible) for the Leher brand of namkeens, the company made sure that it attracted
the attention of viewers.
17
According to some analysts, many of the problems facing Haldirams arose due to an
informal split between its three units in the early 1990s. The split occurred when Prabhu
Shankar Agarwal, who was heading the Kolkata unit of Haldirams, filed a complaint in
the court against the Delhi and Nagpur units, alleging breach of contract when they
opened a sweet shop in New Delhi in 1991. This led to a bitter court battle for many
years. The court delivered a final verdict in 1999, when Haldirams units were formally
split as three separate companies with specific business territories.
The consequences of the split were a matter of concern. Though on paper, the three
18
companies had clearly defined boundaries within which they should operate, in practice,
they did not stay within their boundaries. They penetrated each others territories and
competed among themselves for a larger share of the snacks market. Analysts felt that
competitors would take advantage of this split. Since the scope for increasing market
share in India was limited, these companies began to compete aggressively in
international markets. They used the internet, not only to market their products but also
compete with each other.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
20
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) goods are popularly named as consumer
packaged goods. Item in this category include all consumables (other than
groceries/pulses) people buy at regular intervals. The most common in the list are toilet
soaps, detergents, shampoos toothpaste, shaving products, shoe polish, packaged
foodstuff, household accessories and extends to certain electronic goods. These items are
meant for daily of frequent consumption and have a high return. A major portion of the
monthly budget of each household is reserved for FMCG products.
The performance of the industry was inconsistent in terms of sales and growth for
over 4 years. The investors in the sector were not gainers at par with other booming
sectors. After two years of sinking performance of FMCG sector, the year 2005 has
21
witnessed the FMCGs demand growing. Strong growth was seen across various
segments in FY06. With the rise in disposable income and the economy in good health,
the urban consumers continued with their shopping spree.
- Food and health beverages, branded flour, branded sugarcane, bakery products such as bread, biscuits,
etc., milk and dairy products, beverages such as tea, coffee, juices, bottled water etc, snack food,
chocolates, etc.
- Frequently replaced electronic products, such as audio equipments, digital cameras, Laptops, CTVs;
other electronic items such as Refrigerator, washing machines, etc. coming under the category of White
Goods in FMCG;
Sector Outlook
FMCG is the fourth largest sector in the Indian Economy with a total market size of Rs.
60,000 crores. FMCG sector generates 5% of total factory employment in the country and
is creating employment for three million people, especially in small towns and rural
India.
22
Weaknesses:
1. Lower scope of investing in technology and achieving economies of scale, especially in
small sectors.
2. Low exports levels.
3. "Me-too" products, which illegally mimic the labels of the established brands. These
products narrow the scope of FMCG products in rural and semi-urban market.
Opportunities:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Threats:
1. Removal of import restrictions resulting in replacing of domestic brands.
2. Slowdown in rural demand.
3. Tax and regulatory structure.
Growth Prospects
With the presence of 12.2% of the world population in the villages of India, the
Indian rural FMCG market is something no one can overlook. Increased focus on
farm sector will boost rural incomes, hence providing better growth prospects to
the FMCG companies. Better infrastructure facilities will improve their supply
chain. FMCG sector is also likely to benefit from growing demand in the market.
Because of the low per capita consumption for almost all the products in the
23
country, FMCG companies have immense possibilities for growth. And if the
companies are able to change the mindset of the consumers, i.e. if they are able to
take the consumers to branded products and offer new generation products, they
would be able to generate higher growth in the near future.
It is expected that the rural income will rise in 2007, boosting purchasing power
in the countryside. However, the demand in urban areas would be the key growth
driver over the long term. Also, increase in the urban population, along with
increase in income levels and the availability of new categories, would help the
urban areas maintain their position in terms of consumption. At present, urban
India accounts for 66% of total FMCG consumption, with rural India accounting
for the remaining 34%. However, rural India accounts for more than 40%
consumption in major FMCG categories such as personal care, fabric care, and hot
beverages. In urban areas, home and personal care category, including skin care,
household care and feminine hygiene, will keep growing at relatively attractive
rates. Within the foods segment, it is estimated that processed foods, bakery, and
dairy are long-term growth categories in both rural and urban areas.

Low cost labor gives India a competitive advantage. India's labor cost is amongst
the lowest in the world, after China & Indonesia. Low labor costs give the
advantage of low cost of production. Many MNC's have established their plants in
India to outsource for domestic and export markets.

series of steps so as to evaluate their suitability for the job to be filled. It is the process of
matching the qualifications with those required for the job so that the candidate can be
entrusted with the task that matches with his credibility. It is a process of weeding out
unsuitable candidates and finally identifying the most suitable candidates. the personal information form
is at annexure-1
This process divides the candidates into two categories-the suitable ones and the unsuitable
ones. The suitable people prove to be the asset for the organization. Selection is a negative
process because in this process the management tries to minimize the number of people
at each step so that the final decision can be in the light of all the factors and at the end of
it best candidate is selected. Selected candidate the has to pass through the following

COMPETENCY ANALYSIS
The buzzword of todays environment is dynamics or processes of change in firms and
their management. Given the fact that environment are becoming increasingly dynamics,
strategic planning based on static and rational view has long ceased to suffice. In order to
create competitive advantage in a changing environment, firms are now focusing on
building core competence and transferring them between various business units.
Intangible resource continues to hold the potential to lead to such competitive advantage.
Understanding how these resources need to be developed and how they should be
managed becomes the imperative of every manager. Competences are generally regarded
as unique resources which are knowledge based and can lead to direct competitive
advantage. They are created by refining the knowledge, both explicit and tacit residing
within the employees of the organization. Competences are only valuable if they can be
used in market place and have to change with the dynamics of the market.
Thus continuous evaluation of competencies and their relevance in todays market place
and development of these competencies form the basis of strategic planning of the
organization.
What is a competency?
The word competency is derived from Latin word Competence which means to be
suitable. The competency concept was originally developed in psychology denoting
individuals ability to respond to demand placed on them by their environment. Ulrich
defined competency as knowledge, skill or ability of employees relevant for
34
organizational performance.
The levels of competency are:
Practical competency: an employees demonstrated ability to perform a set of tasks.
Foundational competence: an employees demonstrated understanding of what and why
he/she is doing.
PROCESS OF ASSESSMENT:
The process starts by the individual assessing themselves against the competency
standard. At this stage the individual needs to compile a portfolio of evidence
containing notes about things they can do to demonstrate competence. The
portfolio will also contain items such as references, certificates and letters
which will help to show competence?
Workplace assessment involves an assessor reviewing the individual's self
assessment and portfolio of evidence. The assessor will interview the individual
and spend time observing those performing skills on the job.
35
36
37
Since the mapping process can be quite extensive each worker will be more active in
relation to the companys goal and strategic plans of the company.
Competency mapping help in finding qualified employees who understand the situation
and roles they need to play to meet the corporate objective. Whereas competency
modeling help in matching the people competencies with the jobs and defines the
responsibilities that are needed to help the company reach its goals. It also helps in
creating a link between work force and business objective. Competencies are also called
as predictors of success.
After the gap analysis it becomes clear the requirements of competencies to fill this gap.
If the required competencies are not available, then either they need to be developed or
some new people have to be hired for the same. The next step is optional and may be
conducted if we heed to hire to fill the competency gap. The assessment record form is given at
annexure -2
38
Review the skills and competences required for roles within the team.
Assess training needs.
Identify gaps in skills within the team.
Build commitment to the development of new skills.
Definition:A Skills Matrix is a table that clearly shows the skills held by individuals in a team, and
the skills gaps within a team.
Key steps in preparing a Skills Matrix used at Haldiram are: Identify the job roles in your team.

CASE STUDY
In 2001, the turnover of the Haldiram's was Rs 4 billion. The group had presence
not only in India but in several countries all over the world . The company offered
a wide variety of traditional Indian sweets and snacks at competitive prices that
appealed to people belonging to different age groups.
Haldiram's had many 'firsts' to its credit. It was the first company in India to brand
'namkeens3'. The group also pioneered new ways of packaging namkeens. Its
packaging techniques increased the shelf life of namkeens from less than a week
to more than six months.
71
It was also one of the first companies in India to open a restaurant in New Delhi
offering traditional Indian snack food items such as "panipuri," "chatpapri," and
so on, which catered to the needs of hygiene conscious non-resident Indians and
other foreign customers
.
Since the very beginning, the brand 'Haldiram's' had been renowned for its quality
products. The company employed the best available technology in all its
manufacturing facilities in India
Haldiram's offered its products at competitive prices in order to penetrate the huge
unorganized market of namkeens and sweets. The company's pricing strategy took
into consideration the price conscious nature of consumers in India...
The above initiatives helped Haldiram's to uniquely position its brand. Haldiram's
also gained an edge over its competitors by minimizing promotion costs.
Appreciating the company's efforts at building brand, an analyst said, "Haldiram
once was just another sweet maker but it has moved into trained brands first by
72
improving the product quality and packaging. Through its clever products and
brilliant distribution it had moved into the star category of brands."...

effectively with domestic and multinational players in the snacks food market in
India Haldiram competitive edge is provided by its human capital that is the most
important and the most essential capital for any organization successful
functioning.
There are many different ways of defining competency but competency actually
are those characteristics of an individual that underline their successful performance
or behavior in their particular cultural organization. Competencies can be used to
facilitate many human resources function including training and development ,
performance assessment , job description , succession planning and team building
not simply recruitment . However , they do not have to be applied in all the area
at the same time. There are several human resource functions that require a clear
and complete documentation of required skills and competencies if that human
resource function is to be managed effectively.

recognized that learning can come from a variety of sources, both on the job and
off the job, formal and informal. Recognition is given for prior learning and for
skills and knowledge which can already be shown.
Competency mapping help in finding qualified employees who understand the and
roles they need to play to meet the corporate objective. Whereas competency
modeling help in matching the people competencies with the jobs and defines the
responsibilities that are needed to help the company reach its goals. It also helps in
creating a link between work force and business objective. Competencies are also called
as predictors of success
HALDIRAM SCENARIO
75
Competency based interviews reduce the risk of making a costly hiring mistake and increase
the likelihood of identifying and selecting the right person for the right job
The next problem was clearly differentiating the roles or the duties and
responsibilities related to each job or a particular position or in short doing the job
analysis for this HR department executives were Cleary given an overview of all
the positions and their related requirements in order to avoided the chaos in the
organization and to avoid overlapping of the work. In the absence of job analysis
employees were placed on their jobs without having a proper knowledge of what
they are required to do and where their jurisdiction ends.
76
Then comes the most important function of measuring the competencies and
getting standard for each and every job which was not given due consideration. No
initiative was taken to evaluate employees work and matching those competencies
with the standards set because of this no appropriate action was taken for the
employees who lacked and not even for those who performed well. But now the
whole process has changed every month the performance of each employee is
evaluated and time to time feedback is taken from the employees in the form of
personal interaction or questionnaires and on that basis following measures are
taken:
Employee of the month-Every month an employee is awarded on the basis o his/her
work done or the level of competency required for that work. The extent to which
the employees is able to complete his/her task is measured to get employee of the
month. And then appropriate reward is given on the basis of work in order to
motivate the employees.
Competencies Enable
After the setting of standards and measuring of competencies the next function is
to do the gap analysis in order to measure the gap between the standards and the
77
actual work done or performed by an employee. When the company started there
were no as such benchmarks or standards for any sort of work but as the
competition grew and the expansion was done the need to measure the gap came
up since in the food sector quality is the most important factor so it cant be
ignored in any situation. The gap analysis helps in determining each and every
positions as well as peoples competency. This is done in Haldiram at the end of
every month so as to assure an overall better and improved human resource.
At last the skill matrix that is the most important of all and a newly adopted
concept is prepared that helps in clearly defining the areas as well as people who
require the training. In the absence of the proper system this was not possible but
when the proper HR department came into being since then it became very clear to
establish and organize training and development programmers that has helped the
company in increasing the output both in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
Now after every quarter training program me is organized. This helps in
preparing the employees for the organsational goals and objectives. It not only
helps in retention of employees but also in terms of productivity. Organsations
that have timely training and employee up gradation programmes get their people
up to speed faster , have better alignment between what the employees do and what
the organizations needs them to do. It helps in determining individual skills that
they possess making them different from others. This helps in clearly identifying
the individuals training needs especially on the job.

important and essential capital or resource in any organization without whom no
organization can flourish. Its only HR that helps in the smooth , effective and
efficient functioning of the organization competency mapping with the help of
good human resource not only helps to boost the morale but also restricts and
limits employees turnover as well.
