Chapter 1: Introduction

There is no Good Morning without Tea in our country. India is second leading country of tea production in the world. Long before commercial production of tea started in India in the late 1830s, the tea plant was growing wild in the jungles of north east Assam.

Rajani Distribution Pvt. Ltd. is very well known company of the tea Industry. It is situated at Junagadh city. Mr. Gordhandas Rajani and his sons promoted Rajani Distributors Pvt. Ltd. In 1975 Mr. Gordhandas and his sons started business in Jamjodhpur which is in Jamnagar. Name of the production unit is Bhagyoday Tea center. At that time people like to buy tea without packing. After some years they got its benefits also. They started new business with name Majestic traders and now this unit is known as Rajani Distributors Pvt. Ltd. Since 3rd October 2005.

In this I have done research on customer satisfaction regarding tea products of Rajani Distributors Pvt. Ltd. satisfaction is the state of mind that customers have about a company when their expectation have been met or exceeded over the lifetime of the product or service. It means satisfaction is related to price, product, quality, quantity, packing, etc. For the research work I have done in Junagadh and Jetpur. In that I have taken 30 people as a sample size. Tool for research was Questionnaire by personal interview. It is convenience sampling it means that in that there is no fixation of filling the questionnaire.

In Rajani Distributors Pvt. Ltd. there is High-tech machineries that work smoothly and automatic. I found that they need to do advertisement more. People are satisfied with the price and quality of the product and there are many schemes for attracting the customer. There is the help line number for the customer if they have any problem. Recommendations for the company they should do more advertisement. The company should expand their product to outside the Gujarat. People want tea in jar packing instead of pouches. Launch new products in the market other than tea, masala and agarbatti.

I can surely say that it is pride of Saurashtra and the brand name Rajani Tea is quite successful in the market. The reason behind being successful is the effective management of the company and cordial relation between the employees and management. Rajani Tea has many competitors in Gujarat region but is a market leader in Gujarat and now even they are focusing on the export side also. Thus they are very clear about future goals and target of the company. Tea industry has a very huge scope and opportunity and tremendous growth is there in the industry.

Chapter 3: Industry Profile

Long before commercial production of tea started in India in the late 1830s, the tea plant was growing wild in the jungles of north east Assam. In 1598, Dutch travelers, Jan Hughes Van Lineshooter, noted in a book about his adventure that the Indians ate the vegetables with garlic and oil boiled the leaves to make a brew. In 1788, the British botanist, Joseph Banks, reported to the British East India Company that the climate in certain Britishcontrolled parts of north east India was ideal for tea growing. However, he seems to have missed the fact that the plant was a native to Bengal and suggested transplanting tea bushes from China. But his idea was ignored. In 1823 and 1831, Robert Bruce and his brother Charles, an employee of the East India Company, confirmed that the tea plant was indeed a native of the Assam area and sent specimen plants to officials at the newly established Botanical Gardens in Calcutta. But again, nothing was done perhaps because the East India Company had a monopoly on the trading of tea from China and, as they were doing very nicely, probably saw no reason to spend time and money else where. But in1833, everything changed. The company lost its monopoly and suddenly woke up to the fact that India might prove a profitable alternative. A committee was set up, Charles Bruce was given task of establishing the first nurseries, and the secretary of the committee was sent off to China to collect 80,000 tea seeds. Because they were still not the plant really was indigenous to India, committee members insisted on importing the Chinese variety.

Chapter 5: Theoretical aspects of study

Defining customer satisfaction Customer satisfaction is the state of mind that customers have about a company when their expectation have been met or exceeded over the lifetime of the product or service. The achievement of customer satisfaction leads to company loyalty and product repurchase. There are some important implications of this definition: Because customer satisfaction is subjective, non quantitative state, measurement wont be exact and will require sampling and statistical analysis. Customer satisfaction measurement must be undertaken with an understanding of the gap between customer expectations and attribute performance perceptions.

Satisfaction itself can refer to a number of different facts of the relationship with a customer. For example, Satisfaction with the quality of a particular product or service. Satisfaction with an ongoing business relationship. Satisfaction with the price-performance ratio of a product or service. Satisfaction because a product or service met or exceeded the customers expectations.

Customer satisfaction can be measured through various methods, namely, focus groups, face to face interviews, phone interview, questionnaire through mail and email, etc. By conducting customer satisfaction survey, it allows a business to be aware of the following:
S.K. PATEL INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT & COMPUTER STUDIES 18

1) How satisfied are the customers with their services 2) Strong or weak spots of their service 3) Possible ways to improve their service 4) Customer loyalty

Each industry could add to this list according to the nature of the business and the specific relationship with the customer. Customer satisfaction measurement variables will differ depending on what type of satisfaction is being researched.

In addition to a clear statement defining customer satisfaction, any successful surveying program must have a clear set of objective that, once met, will lead to improved performance. The most basic objective that should be met by any surveying program include following: Understanding the expectations and requirements of all your customers. Determining how well your company and its competitors are satisfying these expectations and requirements. Developing product or service standard based on a timely basis Establishing priorities and standards to judge how well you have met these goals.
