PROBLEM SOLVING
1. Less Pollution
Since the raw material used for making this product is paper and cloth and there is no
wastage and is easy disposable as it is biodegradable , whereas in the production of
plastic bags which causes land pollution when it is thrown after use , air pollution
when it is produced in factory.
2. Re-use
One of the main problem of plastic bag is of Re- usability , which often people don’t
prefer to do with plastic bags as it most of the times could not handle the weight of
grocery. Whereas PAC bag cloth bag will ensure that it handle the weight of grocery.
3. Alternate medium of advertising
It’s a alternate medium of advertising and cheap source to spread the word for both
the client as well for PAC Bag comparatively to other source of advertising.
MARKET COMPARISON
Competition
- Small scale players producing small paper bags, they are not established and not
organised.
- House wife’s producing cloth bags.
- Plastic bag dealers.
Point of Parity – Similarity between the other plastic bags and PAC bags are its use , the core
purpose of bags is to carry the materials and is convenient while shopping.
Point of Difference – The differentiation of our product is its Eco-friendly and can be Re-
used and Re-cycled whereas in case of plastic being non biodegradable its dangerous for
enviroment. Other differentiation is that we provide a customized product with added feature
of client advertising , logo or symbol can be placed on the cloth bag.

INDUSTRY AND MARKETPLACE ANALSYS
INDUSTRY ANALSYS
Due to legislation of ban on plastic bags in various states particularly Goa, a huge opportunity
for a substitute has cropped up. Such a substitute has to provide minimum features, which were
provided by plastic bags. For e.g. the substitute has to be strong enough to bear weight of
grocery, durable enough to be used multiple times, cheap enough to be given almost free of
cost by retailers, malls etc. A cloth and paper bag fit well as substitute of plastic bag as it carries
weight, stays long and cost a little.
Currently there is a huge Scope for cloth and paper bags in Goa, so much that supply comes
nowhere near to market demand.
One of reasons for this huge demand-supply gap is lack of any big player in manufacturing of
cloth bags. There are fundamental reasons due to which a large player cannot sustain in this
business. Cloth Bag manufacturing is meant only for tiny fragmented micro-enterprises.
Grocery bags do not carry any brand. This lack of branding makes local tiny players eligible
for manufacturing. The Indian Paper Industry accounts for about 1.6% of the world’s
production of paper (Rs. 25,000-crore). Source: Business Line
In India, paperboard accounts for nearly 47.3% of the total market size, followed by writing
and printing paper (29.6%), newsprint (19.5%) and specialty paper (3.6%) according to
CRISILResearch.
MARKET PLACE ANALSYS
Following are the findings which we got after a Personal interaction and observation with the
Retail owners and their staff with regards to use of plastic bags. It covered supermarkets, mini
supermarkets, brand stores, provision stores, and Pharmacy’s and takeaway retail outlets etc.
we surveyed 10 retailers in different stores.
The study showed that approximately more than 1000 customers cater to these outlets every
month, which provide bags for its customers who come for shopping, while a small minority
does not offer the same because of the reasons like ‘no demand’ or ‘less demand’. Most of
these outlets provided plastic bags for its customers because of its easy availability and high
demand.

10. pg. 6
When asked “Would you be willing to replace the plastic bags with eco-friendly and
customized paper bags?” almost all the outlets responded positively by saying ‘Yes’. But only
60% of the total believed in providing their customers with reusable cloth bags at a price
ranging from Rs. 5-10.
On an average the demands for reusable cloth and paper bag is quite good, and as far as the
customer’s point of view is concerned, he will always look for something which is eco-
friendly. So with an increased use of cloth and paper bags (which can be reused) over a
period of time can play a vital role in the right benefit of the environment and cater to the
needs of our customers. We get an added advantage of customizing in designing and adding
of the company name which ads as a part of their advertisements.
CUSTOMER ANALSYS
We would offer our products to the commercial users i.e. B2B
 Retail outlets like Bata, Westside, and Monginis etc.
 Supermarkets and general stores.
 Pharmacies
COMETITOR ANALSYS
1. Existing small local suppliers of paper bags and cloth bags artisans
2. existing plastic bag manufacturers etc.
3. NGOs who do the manufacturing of paper bags.

to help maintain basic cleanliness.

only during the initial stage of set up.
Type of workers

our organisation a success.
 The employees making the handbags are mostly skilled workers got from various self-
help groups.

labour who have the basic knowledge of reading and writing.

that make them suitable for the job.

Recruitment process
 Recruitment duties will be handled by the HR department who will keep track on any
available vacancies, promotions, and other needs.
 The recruitment process will be different at every level of management.
 The general manager will be chosen by the panel of directors through referrals, head
hunting, database of consultancies mainly based on the expertise, understanding of the
sector and business as well as ability to handle the business in the most convenient
manner. The HR department will have nothing to do with that whatsoever.
 The managers will be chosen by the General Manager with help from the HR department.
 The various mediums that will be used for recruiting managers will be referrals,
newspaper advertisement, online job search engines (naukri.com, monster.com, etc…)
and recruitment consultancies sending in candidates that fit the criteria of selection.
 At later stages the manager’s post can be filled internally through promotions of the
junior employees.
 The other employees other than the SHG employees will be hired solely by the HR
department through walk in interviews, newspaper advertisements, job search engines
(naukri.com, monster.com, etc…), and recruitment consultancies.
 The managers of every department will screen the employees and finally select.
 The employees will be selected through interviews conducted by the HR executive who
will conduct the initial interview and filter out the suitable candidates who will later be
interviewed by the department manager and the HR manager before the final selection.
At the set up stage the HR department will be outsourced to hire the first batch of employees.
They will also be responsible for forming a permanent HR department for the company the
will handle all the above duties later.
Training required
 The employees will be provided all the required training to maintain our quality levels
and aid customer satisfaction.
 Every employee from a particular department will be trained according to the needs and
demands of his job description.
 The main mode of training will be on the job and simulation training.

29. pg. 25
 The employees that make the handbags will be trained to use the machines without wear
and tear as well as how to maintain the machines.
 The sales/marketing team and the client services team will be given additional training
in soft skills as they are the first point of contact with our clients.
 Every new employee that joins our company will be under training for 1 month under the
supervisor and the training team so as to minimise any losses due to errors.
 The supervisors will be trained to use the machines, clear any queries as well as train
any employee as and when need arises.
 The production manager will also be trained how to use the machines as it is very
important that he knows the same.
