INTRODUCTION ON PEPSI
      • TRADEMARK- JOURNEY
Pepsi was founded in New York in 1965. It
is Producing Non-alcoholic beverage and
Food processing items. Pepsi is a
carbonated beverage that is produced
and manufactured by PepsiCo. It is sold in
retail stores, restaurants cinemas and
from vending machines. The drink was
first made in the 1890s by pharmacist
Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North
Carolina. The brand was trademarked on
June 16, 1903. Pepsi arrived on the
market in India in 1988.PepsiCo gained
entry to India in 1988 by creating a joint
venture with the Punjab government-
owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation
(PAIC) and Volta's India Limited. This joint
venture marketed and sold Lehar Pepsi
until 1991, when the use of foreign brands
was allowed; PepsiCo bought out its
partners and ended the joint venture in
1994. Others claim that firstly Pepsi was
banned from import in India, in 1970, for
having refused to release the list of its
ingredients and in 1993, the ban was
lifted, with Pepsi arriving on the market
shortly afterwards. These controversies
are a reminder of "India's sometimes
acrimonious relationship with huge
multinational companies."
ECONOMIC CRISES
In 1923, the Pepsi-Cola Company
entered bankruptcy—in large part due
to financial losses incurred by
speculating on the wildly fluctuating
sugar prices as a result of world war 1.
Coming at a time of economic crisis, the
campaign succeeded in boosting Pepsi's
status. From 1936 to 1938, Pepsi-Cola's
profits doubled.
The Project Blue design was first tested
in the United States in June 1997, and
was released that December in
preparation for Pepsi's 100th
anniversary. It was at this point, the logo
began to be referred to as the Pepsi
Globe . In 1993, Coca-Cola returned
 Indian market in pursuance of India’s
liberalization policy. As of 2012, Pepsi is
the third most popular carbonated drink
in India, with a 15% market share,
In comparison, Coca-Cola is the fourth
most popular carbonated drink,
occupying a mere 8.8% of the Indian
market share
SPORTS SPONSORSHIP ON PEPSI –
In 2007, and from 2013 to 2022, Pepsi

National Football League, National
Hockey League, and National Basketball

MARKETING -
Pepsi marketing has also been marred in
controversy. In 1989, Pepsi commissioned a
$5 million marketing campaign to coincide
with the release of Madonna's song " Pepsi
gained popularity with the introduction of a
12-ounce bottle during the Great
Depression and clever marketing strategies
like the "Nickel, Nickel" jingle and double
the sales The next year, Pepsi was sold in
six-ounce bottles, and sales increased to
19,848 gallons. Pepsi's market share as
compared to Coca-Cola's shot up
dramatically in the 1950s with African
American soft-drink consumers three times
more likely to purchase Pepsi over Coke.

HISTORY ON COCA COLA -
Introduction on Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold
in stores, restaurants and vending
machines . The Coca-Cola Company in
Atlanta, Georgia produces it. It was
incorporated in 1886. The Coca-Cola
Company claims that it is sold in over 200

EXPANSION -
The US soft-drink giant, Coca-Cola,
reentered India in the 1990s after
abandoning its businesses in the late
1970s in the wake of Foreign Exchange
Regulation Act of 1973. The Act, meant to
'Indianite' foreign companies, made it
mandatory for foreign companies to dilute
their shareholdings to 40 per cent.
Instead of diluting its shareholdings to the
required limit prescribed by the Act,
Coca-Cola opted to discontinue its
operations in India.

Indian beverage market with an
approximate 60 per cent share in the
carbonated soft drinks segment.

How did the production happen
Coke products were sold in over 200
countries and territories worldwide, with
consumers drinking more than
1.8 billion company beverage servings
each day. Coca-Cola ranked No. 94 in
the 2024 Fortune 500 list of the largest
United States corporations by revenue.
Based on Interbrand's "best global
brand" study of 2023, Coca-Cola was the
world's sixth most valuable brand.
The bottlers produce the final drink by
mixing the syrup with filtered water and
sweeteners, putting the mixture into
cans and bottles, and carbonating it,
which the bottlers then sell and
distribute to retail stores, vending
machines, restaurants, and foodservice
distributors.
Coca-Cola was developed in 1886 by
pharmacist John Stith Pemberton. At the
time it was introduced, the product
contained cocaine from coca leaves and
caffeine from kola nuts which together
acted as a stimulant. The coca and the
kola are the source of the product name,
and led to Coca-Cola’s promotion as a
“healthy tonic". Pemberton had been
severely wounded in the American Civil
War, and had become addicted to the
pain medication morphine. At the time,
cocaine was being promoted as a "cure"
for opioid addiction, so he developed the
beverage as a patent medicine in an effort
to control his addiction.
BUSINESS MAN -
American businessman Asa Griggs
Candler purchased the Coca-Cola
formula and brand, forming the Coca-
Cola Company in Atlanta in 1892. By
1895, Coca-Cola was being sold
nationwide.In 1919, the company was
sold to Ernest Woodruff’s Trust Company
of Georgia, after which it was soon
reincorporated under the Delaware
General Corporation Law that same year.

Coca-Cola Company’s market share
decreased to 21.8% due to new
competitors.

India is one of the common market in the
world with a population of more than one
billion. Soft drink is a popular common
product which is generally purchased by
consumers for quenching their thirst in
summer and also to have cooling
refreshment. As far as the market of soft
drinks is concerned, it is facing cut throat
competition from the larger number of
soft drinks available in the market.
Different brands are available in every
segment of flavors, but the attitudes of
the consumers differ from each other due
to several factors. Every company tries to
increase their market share and their
sales volume.
DISCOUNTING SYSTEM- followed by the
companies proved to be an essential
factor to boost up the purchases made by
the retailers. The companies try to attract
the retailers to purchase more by
providing some schemes or incentives or
cash/card discount. If more discount or
any other incentive scheme is given to the
outlets, they make purchases to avail that
offer. Therefore, it is essential for any
company to have an efficient and
effective discounting system.
CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION -
Distribution is the spine of any FMCG
company. The main function of a retailer
is to bridge the gap between the supplier
and the customer. The central focus of
distribution is to increase the efficiency of
time, place, and delivery utility. For any
FMCG product it is essential to have a
good distribution network which should
be better than that of its competitors.
Distribution is the key area for any FMCG
business. For a smooth distribution
network, it is essential to keep the retail
outlets satisfied which in turn mainly
depend upon the profitability. Their
profitability is checked by keeping a
satisfied profit margin for them. Apart
from that, the company also provides
discount on purchase of different pack
sizes to some HVOs which in turn
increases their profit margin. Sometimes
the company also provides incentives to
the outlets which make frequent and high
purchases. To meet stiff and challenging
competition from some of the other
brands, it is essential for the company to
have an effective and efficient distribution
network. Therefore, the company tries to
keep the outlets satisfied by offering
discounts and some other incentive
schemes from time to time.
COCA COLA DERIVED -
This story begins in Atlanta, Georgia on
May 8, 1886, when a pharmacist called
Dr. John Smith Pemberton first mixed
Coca-Cola in his back yard. This formula,
which was made from carbonated water,
cane sugar syrup, caffeine, extracts of
kola nuts and cola leaves, was brought to
the nearby Jacobs Pharmacy where it
made its Debut as a soft drink the same
day, selling for only 5 cent. His
bookkeeper named this drink “Coca-
Cola” after the first two ingredients and
the same distinctive script he wrote it in is
the same logo they use To this day.
In January 1893 Coca-Cola was registered
with the L.S. patent office. Later on in
1915 the Root glass company created the
Lamous contour glass bottle for Coca-
Cola in 1915.
He died later that year. and Mr. Candler,
an Atlanta druggist, purchased total
interest in Coca-Cola for an unbelievable
$2,300 in 1891. In 1891, Candler and his
brother formed the CocaCola Company.
Coke is one of the world’s most
recognizable and widely sold commercial
brands; its major rival is Pepsi.
FIRST SALES. -
The first sales were made at Jacob’s
Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8,
1886, and for the first eight months only
nine drinks were sold each day. Coca-
Cola was sold in bottles for the first time
on March 12, 1894, and cans of Coke first
appeared in 1955. By 1888, three versions
of Coca-Cola sold by three separate
businesses were on the market.

Company announced that in the second
quarter of 2005 they planned a launch of
a Diet Coke product sweetened with the
artificial sweetener sucralose
(“Splenda”), the same sweetener
currently used in Pepsi One. The company
actually produces concentrate for Coca-
Cola, which is then sold to various Coca-
Cola bottlers throughout the world. The
bottlers, who hold territorially-exclusive
contracts with the company, produce
finished product in cans and bottles from
the concentrate in combination with
filtered water and sweeteners. The
bottlers then sell, distribute and
merchandise Coca-Cola in cans and
bottles to retail stores and vending
machines. Such bottlers include Coca-
Cola Enterprises, which is the single
largest Coca-Cola bottler in North
America and Europe. The Coca-Cola
Company also sells concentrate for
fountain sales to major restaurants and
food service distributors.

occasion introduced other cola drinks
under the Coke brand name. The most
famous of these is Diet Coke, which has

branding, such as Sprite, Fanta, and
others. The actual production and
distribution of Coca-Cola follows
franchising model.

syrup with filtered water and sugar (or
artificial sweeteners) and fill it into cans
and bottles, which the bottlers then sell
and distribute to retail stores, vending
machines, restaurants and food service
distributors.

sales, but outsells Coca-Cola in some
localities. In India, Coca-Cola ranks third
behind the leader, Pepsi-Cola, and local
