3.1 Various Departments:
With the whole country moving towards digitisation, it is the need of the hour to invest in the
digital infrastructure of the company. Digitisation is fuelling growth and harnessing its potential
has become imperative in today’s competitive world. It is with this vision that in February 2000,
Nerolac was transformed from a function-based legacy system into a process-based organised
system by investing and implementing the SAP R/3 solution. Further measures to keep the
company abreast of the digital developments were also taken with the implementation of core
SAP applications like SAP R/3, SAP Supply Chain and supported dealer and vendor portals.
Nerolac continues to use enterprise resource planning tools and upgrade them to the latest
versions. All the existing core SAP applications are of the latest version and cutting-edge

an atmosphere of trust, confidence and transparency.
Kansai Nerolac’s HR department has initiated multiple tools, processes and activities to
streamline the appraisal and employee recruitment system.

PMS: The online Performance Management System (PMS) is a web-based tool that makes it
easier for the appraisal receiver and appraiser to keep track of processes involved in the
Quarterly as well as Annual events. The online PMS has given employees an understanding of
how performance is assessed and monitored. Employees can view their ratings and assessment

and clarify developmental and training necessities

activities that are related to the employee’s current year KRAs.

The Traditional Finance Department: Functions and Roles
Finance departments come in all shapes and sizes, but there are four key functions they must take
on. None of these functions exists in a vacuum, and they will need to communicate and
collaborate with each other. Let’s explore each in more detail.
Recording
This is a broad finance function that involves entering, categorizing and reviewing all financial
transactions for a business. Both bookkeepers and accountants fill this role, and it is essential for
maintaining accurate financial records. Some common recording tasks include:
These finance department functions don’t have to be delegated to employees as listed above.
Depending on the size of the company, you may have multiple people performing one function,
or one person performing multiple functions. Here are examples of how you might see these
functions broken out in businesses of various size:
Startups: Newer, rapidly growing companies may not need a whole finance department
at first, but as the company grows and finances become increasingly complex, the startup
may need to hire a select team to help them manage. These professionals will likely take
on multiple department roles. For example, the CFO and the controller are often the same
person in a startup. Additionally, a CFO may flex to handle FP&A responsibilities in
addition to strategic planning.
Small Businesses: Most businesses of this size don’t have the need or funds to hire a
whole full-time finance department. The business owner(s) often handle all the record-
keeping and finances, though they may work with a bookkeeper and/or accountant.
Though there likely won’t be a full internal finance team, small businesses may contract
with part-time finance professionals like a fractional CFO to support growth.
Midsize to Large Companies: Once a company has grown to be midsize or larger, the
roles within the finance department will become more defined. Each finance team
member will be responsible for one of the four finance functions, and there will often be
entire teams of people for each specific task.
Regardless of company size, businesses can rest assured that if they have a team that handles
recording, controlling, FP&A and finance management, they have covered all the basic functions
of a traditional finance department.
Marketing Department:
Marketing Strategy of Nerolac Paints
Nerolac’s marketing strategy is different from other paint brands. It has always focused on a
healthy paint version by promoting its paints as lead-free.
It has emphasized advertisements that would increase the popularity of the products. Nerolac has
several products which are of decorative and industrial purpose. Also, it has online tools such as
paint calculators that help the customers in using its products efficiently. Online apps include
Nerolac – Colour Myspace, and Nerolac Pragati. The services provided by the brand increased
its popularity, productivity with good quality paints. Now that we know what marketing strategy
the company applies, let us now understand Nerolac’s marketing campaigns in the coming
section.
Marketing Campaigns of Nerolac Paints
Marketing campaigns are important in communicating the brand image. Kansai Nerolac Paints
have launched many successful campaigns. Let’s have a look at some of the successful
campaigns by the brand:
In 2008, the company tempted its customers through Shah Rukh Khan for its ad campaigns who
continues to be the brand ambassador for Nerolac Paints.
Shah Rukh Khan was appointed as the ambassador of Kansai Nerolac Paints in 2010. His
appearance endorsed the brand to its higher level. At present, Ranveer Singh is the new
ambassador of Kansai Nerolac Paints. The company roped him to increase its popularity with a
new face.
3.2 Environment , Society , Governance
1. Environment:
Water Management:
Zero Liquid Discharge across all plants through installation of Ultrafiltration (UF), Reverse
Osmosis (RO) & Multi-effect Evaporator (MEE) treatment systems.
Waste Management:
Hazardous Waste Reduction Focus on Reduction at Source, co-processing, recycle and reuse
schemes, etc.
Energy Management:
Shifted from HSD to environment friendly and low-cost Solid Fuels and Biodiesel in boilers and
for process heat generation.
2. Society:
We practise this philosophy by being a good neighbour, being considerate of our stakeholders at
all the levels and most importantly, we play the role of a good corporate citizen with zeal and
compassion.
3. Governance:
Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited is at the top of the industry due to its excellent marketing
strategies and branding.
The company focuses on research and development (R&D) which leads to new quality
products to meet the essentials of the customer. Nerolac Paints has an excellent chain
network that allows consumers to access the goods.
The company has served many in the automotive industry by working with Maruti
Suzuki, Tata Motors, Honda, etc. Kansai Nerolac Paints have received many awards in
the past years.
4.3 Conclusion:
To conduct the survey of Muzaffarpur Market is for knowing the prospect of paints in this area.
In these markets the immediate competitor of KNP is Asian, Berger and ICI. The reasearch first
prepared a questionnaire copntaining questions for collecting information from different paint
outlets. The researcher collected the information from a sample of 70 different outlets. The
researcher collected the some of the important findings of the survey are as under.
1. In urban market, Nerolac paints is the largest selling brand due to the brand name and
