Ice Cream is the most famous delicacy all over the world. People of all ages love ice cream and frequently enjoy it. Here are some amazing facts about ice cream: Nero (37-68 A. D. ), The Roman Emperor, is said to have eaten a sort of water-ice. The Chinese claim that they have been making and consuming Ice Cream since ages. Supposedly, Marco Polo (1254 – 1324) carried the Chinese Ice Cream recipes back with him to Venice.
These were then introduced to the French by Italian chefs retinue of Catherine de? Medici when she married Henri II of France. Royal Ice Cellars were built in Mesopotamia in around 2000 B. C. These were used to cool wines and foods During the late 1600s, The French King Louis XIV was known to have feasts with colored water-ice and liqueurs. Nicholas Lemery’s Recueil de curiositez rares et nouvelles de plus admirables effets de la nature, published in 1674, contained the first recipe for flavored ices. The Quaker colonists who brought their ice cream recipes with them introduced ice cream to the United States.
It is said that Ice Cream was regularly consumed by Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. During the eighteenth century, the spread of ice pails and cookery books with ice recipes, almost everywhere around the globe, resulted in the delicacy becoming more common. Robert Green, in 1874, is supposed to have invented the Ice Cream Soda, which took ice cream consumption in America and other parts of the world to great heights. The twentieth century saw an explosion of sorts in the popularity of ice cream owing to availability of cheap refrigeration.
Italian confectioners made Gelato, their own form of Ice Cream, which became immensely famous due its texture and lightness. During the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904, cones were used for the first time to serve Ice Cream. A chemical research team in Britain came up with the soft ice cream, which had more air in it. It became immensely popular because of its creamy yet light texture. Today, it is popularly known as the ‘Softy’ ice cream. • In the 1980s, the older, thicker ice creams made a comeback and were referred to as ‘Premium’ Ice Creams. Basically the ice-cream business comes under FMCG sector.
In India, the condition of FMCG sector is very well and challenging. India is an important market for FMCG players. The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy with a total market size of around US$ 18. 1 bn.

COMPANY PROFILE KWALITY ICE CREAM Kwality Ice Cream is the pioneer in the Indian ice-cream manufacturing industry and in 1956 became the first company in the country to use imported technology for manufacturing ice-cream on a commercial scale. As the ice-cream industry exploded in India, in 1995 Kwality Group joined hands with Hindustan Lever Limited and then there was no looking back. The Indian consumer market was introduced to “KWALITY WALLS” – the result of a collaboration between global brand Walls and the leading Indian ice-cream brand Kwality.
Though the two giants eventually parted ways, the collaboration made Kwality a household name and created deep in roads for the brand in the consumer market. Today, Kwality is not just a brand – it is the ice-cream associated with the Indian summer; it’s the first choice in ice-cream for any child or adult during the scorching Indian summers. Kwality ice-creams are trusted not only for their rich, creamy flavours, but also for their trusted quality and nutritious food value.

Their obsession with quality and transparent business practices, brought prosperity and confidence to the young businessmen. When opportunity knocked in the form of an Englishman who suggested that they try manufacturing ice cream, the idea was readily translated into reality. DINSHAW’S ICE CREAM” was born in 1933 when Nagpurians came to know the creamy, hand churned delicacy. INTIAL GROWTH An alien concept, ice cream eating was considered a luxury, which could only be indulged in, on very special days during the sweltering heat of Nagpur’s grueling summer. The conviction of their ultimate success, and the vision of these young entrepreneurs, far outweighed the difficulties of running a purely seasonal business with its vagaries of demand . By mid forties, Nagpur’s gentry had extended ice cream eating into the winter and the name DINSHAW’S had become synonymous with the ice cream in Nagpur.
THE SECOND GENERATION GROWTH: SAM DINSHAW RANA and JIMMY ERUCH RANA put on the mantles of their august fathers. Burning with the same zeal to succeed, the same uncompromising attitude towards quality and service, the Rana cousins struck out for wider horizons in 1981. With an investment of just Rs. 5 Lakhs, a small factory came up to replace the cattle pounds. The dairy business gracefully gave way to its prospering offspring, the ice-cream business. The magic of” “DINSHAW’S goodwill spawned a net work of enthusiastic dealer-franchises all over central India, where DINSHAW’S enjoy near monopoly even today.
Success breeds Success. The sound business principles of the founders, which gave them their initial success, became the foundation of DINSHAW’S business edifice. Quality consciousness went beyond the quality of relations with employees, business associates and its ultimate consumer. By 1987 DINSHAW’S was known in central India as not only the company, which made the best ice creams, but also the company that built best relations. Persistent efforts from prospective distributors and dealers of other areas and greater demand for varieties from existing areas forced DINSHAW’S to expand its manufacturing capacities.
Imported continuous freezers expand plants and storage facilities wide with market demand. By 1989 cold storage depots had sprung up in Raipur, Jabalpur, Indore, Akola, Aurangabad, Pune, Hyderabad, Guntur and Vishakhapatnam more by pressures of demand than by design. Consumer appreciation for its products and for its credo of “VALUE FOR MONEY” forced continuous expansion and modernization of manufacturing capacities which today are to the tune of 35000 Liters of ice-cream per day. By 1990 the business was experiencing difficulty in getting regular supplies of good quality to need its ever-increasing needs.
The obstacles were turned into an opportunity to diversify into Diary business. The firm had turned full circle by coming back to its parent business of Diary which today has a capacity to process and pouch 1lac liters of Milk per day. The citizens of Nagpur who were dependent only on milk supplied by Government Milk Scheme and local vendors welcomed the supply of standardized quality milk and DINSHAW’S became the first branded milk to be sold in Nagpur. Being a responsible corporate citizen and being aware of the needs of protecting its environment, DINSHAW’S have invested more than Rs. 0 lakhs in an Effluent Treatment Plant, which is a model for any industry of its size. As in all other areas, Dinshaw’s foray in Bombay has been on a low key. DINSHAW’S have been able to grow in the face of competition from national and multinational giants of the industry because of the inherent strength of its products, policies and people.

Literature Review
Today Consumers have higher expectations than ever before. They want products to match these expectations. They also want accurate, up-to-date and useful information about what they buy and above all they need Quality According to the report of Sumit Kukreja, a management trainee from Amity University, food and beverages are the one of the largest growing trade in FMCG sector and ice-cream is the pathfinder of this trade.
The continues grow in the demand of ice-cream in India is showing the great opportunity in future. Motilal Oshwal, a marketing research company has been reported that the growth rate of icecream in India is steady but it increasing in the future. Survey by A. C. Nielsen shows about 71 per cent of Indian take notice of pack-aged goods' labels containing nutritional, information compared to two years ago which was only 59 per cent. India is the largest milk producer in the world, yet only around 15 per cent of the milk is processed. The organized liquid milk business is in its infancy and also has large long-term growth potential.
Even investment opportunities exist in value-added products like desserts, puddings etc. According to CMIE Data, Aggregate sale of this industry is expected to increase by 19. 2 per cent during the December 2009 quarter. FINDINGS 1. The basic reason of buying that brand most of the answers were quality, availability, packaging and the decor of the store. 2. Consumers preferring DINSHAW`S and KWALITY WALLS were a bit price conscious though but they agreed that they do look for more quality and taste. 3. The advertisements and offers do influence consumers purchase behavior regarding ice cream. 4.
The basic needs that consumers want to fulfill through an ice cream are taste and quality. And that without providing taste it is not possible to sell a product like ice cream. 5. Any ice cream brand in the town should have innovative packaging, more flavors, availability, natural elements etc. to cater to their unfulfilled needs. 6. There is lack of Sales Promotional Activities i. e. free tattoo, extra weight, toys, quiz contest etc. 7. Some of retailers places both brands according to consciousness and demand of customer 8. Dinshaws ice-cream share is 23% in Rourkela ice cream market whereas Kwality walls has only 9% market share. . The quality of Dinshaws ice cream is better than Kwality walls ice cream. 10. Dinshaws ice-cream has different variety of ice-cream. They have provided many packs such as select & premium. These two have provided the customer to choose a pack of his choice.
Conclusion
The response regarding both the companies varies from person to person. India has a good potential market for the ice-cream; research shows that an average Indian eats ice-cream four times a year so company must try to increase this rate by promoting effective campaign.Taste and price are the two main attributes that people feel important for the purchase of ice-cream. During survey it was found that Kwality Walls has less visibility, which has capability to retain image in consumers mind. So it is very necessary to increase it. Rourkela has lots of nearby places for picnic, which remains overcrowded on weekends, so more mobile vans should be added to increase the sales. Some of the innovative ideas should be made for the high selling retailers. Such as forming the club and giving them special packages which will encourage the dealers. To attract youths, sponsorship programs needs to be taken. The rates of all the companies are generally equal. But special item of ice-cream’s rates are different. Such as party packs, family packs, novelty & other the rates, which are equal of all the companies in regular items such as Ice candy, Bar, Cone, Small Cups & Large Cups. Finally I would like to conclude that as far as Rourkela city is concerned people purchase more of Dinshaws ice cream instead of Kwality Walls ice cream.
