1. Introduction
To be a consumer today is a glorious thing. Innovation is everywhere and the abundance of choice has never
been so plentiful. For brands, however, staying top of mind and in shoppers’ baskets amid this proliferation
of choice has never been more challenging. And looking across consumer packaged goods (CPG) categories,
few could be considered as jam-packed with competition as the alcoholic beverage category.
While price is likely the most well-established purchase driver across the CPG space, convenience often runs
a close second. And from a retail perspective, it’s an attribute that’s boosting sales in categories that
previously weren’t very convenient.
Think about your favorite martini, or perhaps a particular variation of the Mojito. To get one—and a good
one—you’ve traditionally had to rely on a good mixologist. But RTD cocktails will help you give the benefits
that the beer drinkers have enjoyed since decades- the convenience of a can and the portability and
availability too. Newer alternative packaging—cans, boxes; Tetra Pak, etc.—are playing a role as well, as
they provide for more convenient and portable options.
In India, we don’t have much competition for this particular category as most people prefer drinking
cocktails at bar or restaurants as it is time-consuming and requires skills to prepare at home.
Consumers want to enjoy the cocktail experience do not wish to keep the ingredients at home and go
through the process of making a fine cocktail, ready to drink alcoholic beverages provides conveniences of
already blended cocktail and offers products at a fraction of price of cocktails available in bars, clubs and
other recreational places.
Consumers are looking for convenience, and ready-to-drink cocktails provide consumers with something
they’ve historically had to be at a bar or restaurant to enjoy. Across the board, however, the common bond
for success is standing out from the crowd and meeting changing consumer needs.
Tipsy Tales via their product line of RTD canned cocktails is looking to provide just this and fill in the gap
between the consumer requirements and market options. We have conducted primary as well as secondary
research to determine the estimated demand and the preferences of people regarding the type of drink,
flavor etc.
We spoke to multiple bars and restaurants and other industry experts to know the demand for cocktails
including Joint Commissioner of Excise Department of Mumbai. We have conceived these variants of Tipsy
Tales through insights from multiple people and sound research.

2. Executive Summary
The idea for this concept came through one of our personal experiences when at a house party after that
guy who makes the best cocktails left. The people still at the party were clueless as to what to do and had to
go back to the same old beer can. This has happened a lot of times when we have no option other than
visiting a restaurant or a bar in order to get a good cocktail. In today’s times dressing up, braving the traffic,
making reservations, etc. is just too much effort. And the worst part is that after you visit the restaurant
either the cocktail is not available or the bartender is different or the blend is just not right. Disappointing
right!
We at Tipsy Tales have curated just the right solution to solve this problem. We have designed a range of
cocktail variants which are packed in cans. Yes you can just enjoy this anywhere, at home, social events,
parties, etc. We promise you that the blend curated is close to perfect as the best mixologists have designed
the blend. The ingredients used in the cocktail are premium and safe. Our in-house RnD experts approve
each batch after testing it and only then it goes for selling.
Tipsy Tales has designed a state of the art manufacturing facility to concoct these cocktails. At each step
quality is taken care of. Our supply chain ensures that our cocktails reach you. Our entire staff is driven to
work towards making a product that pleases your taste buds.
We also encourage responsible drinking and abide by the laws of the land. We have installed a Wastewater
treatment plant in the facility to do our bit for the environment.
We promise you that each of your social meet will have a tale to tell.
So Happy Tipsying!!!

3. Product Description
As the name suggests Ready to drink (RTD) cocktails are premixed cocktails which have alcohol content
ranging from 3% to 30%. RTD’s are widely popular owing to the convenience the product provides. One does
not need to procure and store any ingredients, look up a great cocktail recipe online, use measuring cups
etc. to accurately measure and pour the required quantity of the ingredient, ensure consistency in the taste
of each drink, even feel the intimidation while preparing a batch for a large crowd or rely on that one good
friend to prepare the cocktail. An RTD cocktail would eliminate each of these issues at once. The added
benefits are of course portability, lower alcohol content, standard taste, etc. Further details are pertaining
to the product are explained in the product category of the 4P’s.

4. Industry Analysis
The Indian liquor industry is one of the most vibrant in the world. The array of liquor sold in India is dazzling
and demand for the same is growing among affluent Indians. India is one of the top markets for higher
consumption and growing rapidly. Rapid increase in urban population, sizable middle-class population with
rising spending power, and a sound economy are certain significant reasons behind an increase in
consumption of alcohol in India.
The Indian consumer has come of age and is being moving towards international liquor brands which want
to do their best to deserve his respect. Indian consumer has travelled abroad, seen the best, experienced
the best, and want to enjoy the best in the company of friends. Among the young generation, drinking often
is a prerequisite to socialising and networking.
The experience-driven consumer purchases a beverage that is in the premium and deluxe segment. People
in this demographic are usually younger than those in the former segment many being in their 20's and are
employed in prestigious jobs or are college students from relatively well-off backgrounds. They regularly
experiment by consuming different brands and hence are not completely won over by a single brand. Such
consumers are also open to consuming brands they have not tried before and they can be won over by new
brands when brands offer better value such as attractive packaging, superior blend, a better consumer
experience, and other high-value offerings. Many new brands have gained traction in this segment because
consumers in this segment prefer such new brands and because they are open to experimentation.
Price point led consumers are very price-sensitive and, unlike brand-name led consumers and experience led
consumers, display no brand loyalty. Members in this segment regularly close their workday by consuming
liquor and have incomes that are far lower than those of people who consume branded liquor and
experience led consumers. Many such consumers fall in the lower middle class and many are also daily
laborers. They don’t have any brand loyalty and will easily switch from one brand to another as long as doing
so saves them money.
In understanding consumers in these segments sit’s crucial to remember that consumers are not a
permanent part of anyone segment. In reality, as incomes grow, consumers who were motivated to
purchase liquor only because of its low price grow to be motivated by experience and at even higher income
levels become driven to purchase liquor because of the brand under which it is sold. New trends also reveal
that younger consumers of liquor are less conscious of price and become experience led consumers directly,
thereby skipping the stage where consumers are driven only by price. Trends also indicate that young
consumers, who earlier may have preferred to drink beer or vodka, today are just as likely to consume
whiskey.

The Indian alcohol industry is segmented into IMFL (Indian made foreign liquor), IMIL (Indian made Indian
liquor), Wine, Beer and imported alcohol. Imported alcohol has a share of around 0.8% in the Indian market.
The heavy import duty and taxes levied to raise the price of imported alcohol to a large extent. Alcohol is
exempted from the taxation scheme of GST.
The Indian alcohol market is growing at a CAGR of 8.8% and it is expected to reach 16.8 billion liters of
consumption by the year 2022. The popularity of wine and vodka is increasing at a remarkable CAGR of
21.8% and 22.8% respectively. India is the largest consumer of whiskey in the world and it constitutes about
60% of the IMFL market.
Though India is one of the largest consumers of alcohol in the world owing to its huge population, the per
capita alcohol consumption of India is very low as compared to the Western countries. The per capita
consumption of alcohol per week for the year 2016 was estimated at 147.3 ml and it is expected to grow at
a CAGR of 7.5% to 227.1 ml according to our estimates.
The states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Karnataka, Sikkim Haryana and Himachal Pradesh are
amongst the largest consumers of alcohol in India. The most popular channel of alcohol sale in India is liquor
stores as alcohol consumption is primarily an outdoor activity and supermarkets and malls are present only
in the tier I and tier II cities of India.
The trends and pattern of alcohol consumption are changing in the country. With the increasing acceptance
of women consuming alcohol, the growing popularity of wine and high demand for expensive liquor, the
market scenario seems to be very optimistic in the near future. We conducted a consumer research study
for the alcohol market with around 1,000 respondents from the cities of Delhi, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Pune,
Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bangalore.
Indirect competition: Indirect competitors for Cocktails are alcohol consumed at home and alcohol and
cocktails consumed at Bars and restaurants at large. These alcohols contain majorly Whiskey, Beer, Vodka,
Gin, Scotch, wine, Brandy etc.

Breezer is less when compared to normal cocktails but it is one the successfully retailed product in this
segment. Breezer is known in the market for a very long time and well-established product with a set of
regular customers. % of alcohol content in Breezer is about 5%.

and have sufficient amount of content to satisfy the purpose. The standard size of the pack will be a 6 pack
but of course, a single unit can also be sold and would be recommended for individual consumption.

6. Land and Location
The location chosen for the plant and office is Turbhe, Navi Mumbai. This location provides multifold
benefits like cheaper land and labor cost as compared to the mainland of Mumbai, the proximity of suppliers
etc. The location is relatively closer to the suppliers of alcohols as well. We will be procuring alcohol from
the distilleries in and near about MMR region.
Amber Distilleries
John Distilleries
United Breweries at Taloja
Blossom Industries at Daman
The other raw material like perishables which includes the mixers will be procured from local beverage
manufacturers. Moreover the tin cans and other packing material will also be procured locally.
The land will be purchased and we will construct the premises from the ground up, right from construction
of plant and office. The setting up of plant and office would take about 1 year.
The location also provides smooth access to the target market of Mumbai enabling quick response time.
Also we will achieve logistical advantage involved in transporting to Pune which serves as the future market
from the 2nd year of operations.
The cost of land is about Rs. 4258 per sq. feet and the area of land required is around 8200 sq. feet. The
office as well as the plant will be constructed on the land. The fact that the office and plant is in the same
compound would help in better control and monitoring of production although most of the work would be
automated.

• After Mixing cocktail is transferred to can filling machine and at the same time cans are rinsed and
rotated on interior can twister. Can are inverted and sprayed with water. It rinses any potential dust
Page | 28
or particles out of the can. This ensures 100% sanitary filling. At filling station cocktails are filled
from mixers at steady rate preserving the flavor. Cans are filled until the sensor light indication.
• These cans are then moved to lid dispenser. Each can will be placed with a lid and can move forward
to seam station. After rolling on-seam station can will move to exterior cleaning and blow-dried. This
avoids any exterior rusting and contamination. Few samples from each batch goes for quality testing
at lab.
• After exterior cleaning cans moved on production line and lid of six-packs is placed on cans. These
six-pack cans are then moved to a packaging area where 8 six-packs containing 48 cans are placed in
each box. These boxes are packed and then moved to finished goods storage area. From storage
boxes are sent for distribution via distributors.
