 COMPANY PROFILE:-
1. Parle Biscuits Pvt. Ltd IGATPURI
Registered in 2018 ,India Parle Biscuits Pvt. Ltd. has gained immense
expertise in supplying & trading of Biscuit etc. The supplier company is
located in Igatpuri, Maharashtra and is one of the leading sellers of listed
products. Buy Biscuit in bulk from us for the best quality products and
service.
PARLE is the market leader in the organized biscuit and candy
market in India. Biscuits contribute to more than 80% of Parle’s total
turnover. Other products include cookies and candy.
T h e b i s c u it m ar k e t i n I n d ia i s es t ima t e d t o b e 1 . 1m n t p a , v al u
e d a t Rs35bn. The unorganized sector accounts for over 50% of the market.
The market has been growing at a CAGR of 6-7% pa. Per capita consumption of
biscuits is estimated at a low 1.5kgs, reflecting the huge potential for growth.
Manufacturing was reserved for small-scale up to 1997, which put large
players at a disadvantage. In the organized sector, Parle and Britannia
are the only national players with dominant market shares. Other organized
players include domestic players like Bake man’s, Champion, Quality, Priya
and MNC’s like Smith Kline Consumer, Kellogg’s, Sara Lee, Heinz,
Excel sia (Nestle) and United Biscuits.
Parle-G has been a strong household name across India. The great taste, high
nutrition, and the international quality, makes Parle-G a winner. No wonder,
it's the undisputed leader in the biscuit category for decades.
Parle-G is consumed by people of all ages, from the rich to the
poor, living in cities & in villages. While some have it for breakfast, for
others it is a complete wholesome meal. For some it's the best accompaniment
for chai, while for some it's a way of getting charged whenever they are low
on energy. Because of this, Parle-G is the world's largest selling brand of
biscuits.

.
 Parle Products (styled PARLE in it's logo) is an Indian multinational food
processing company, based in Mumbai. It is best known for the biscuit brand Parle-
G,which is the best-selling biscuit brand in the world, according to a 2011 Nielsen
report.
Parle Products was founded in 1929 in India by the Chauhan family of Vile
Parle, Mumbai. The founder was Mohanlal Chauhan who hailed from Pardi near
Valsad in Gujarat. He moved to Mumbai to make a living and at first, his business was
tailoring. However, it was not profitable, and so he moved into the food business by
selling snacks. He ran a bakery making bread, buns, rusks, scones, nankhatai,
turnovers, etc. He had five sons - Maneklal, Pitambar, Narottam, Kantilal and
Jayantilal. The five brothers worked together under their father.

Parle began manufacturing biscuits in 1939, with a license to supply their

biscuits only to the British Army. In 1947, when India became independent, the
company launched an ad campaign showcasing its Glucose biscuits as an Indian
alternative to the British biscuits.[7] The Parle brand became well known in India
following the success of products such as the Parle-G biscuits. Much later, in 1977, the
Morarji Desai government expelled Coca-Cola from India. The family saw an
opportunity here and opened their own cold drinks business, which flourished because
there was no competition. It minted money from selling cold beverages like Gold Spot,
Thums Up and Frooti, all of which became household names.

The original Parle company was split into three separate companies owned by
the different factions of the original Chauhan family, with a majority of it owned by
Parle Agro products.[8] The separation was only that Jayantilal separated himself from
his four older brothers. The reason was mainly because Jayantilal had a lifestyle
different from his four older brothers. The four older brothers got the biscuits business
as their share, and even to this day, they are all together with no further separation.
Jayantilal took the beverages section as his share. This section was further divided
between his two sons. The three companies today are as follows:

Parle Products (1950s), led by Vijay, Sharad and Raj Chauhan (owner of
the brands such as Parle-G, 20-20, Magix, Milkshakti, Melody, Mango Bite,[9]
Poppins, Londonderry, Kismi Toffee Bar, Monaco and KrackJack).
 Parle Agro (1960s), led by Prakash Jayantilal Chauhan (elder son of Jayantilal
Chauhan). The company is run by his daughters Schauna, Alisha and Nadia (owner of
the brands such as Frooti and Appy).
Parle Bisleri (1970s), led by Ramesh Jayantilal Chauhan, younger son of Jayantilal. He
runs it with his wife Zainab Chauhan and their daughter Jayanti Chauhan.
All three companies continue to use the family trademark name "Parle". The
original Parle group was amicably segregated into three non-competing businesses. A
dispute over the use of "Parle" brand arose when Parle Agro diversified into the
confectionery business, thus becoming a competitor to Parle Products. In February
2008, Parle Products sued Parle Agro for using the brand Parle for competing
confectionery products. Later, Parle Agro launched its confectionery products under a
new design which did not include the Parle brand name.[10] In 2009, the Bombay High
Court ruled that Parle Agro can sell its confectionery brands under the brand name
"Parle" or "Parle Confi" on condition that it clearly specifies that its products belong
to a separate company which has no relationship with Parle Products.
Apart from the original factory in Mumbai, Parle has manufacturing facilities at
Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh), Neemrana (Rajasthan), Bengaluru (Karnataka), Hyderabad
(Telangana), Kutch (Gujarat), Khopoli (Maharashtra), Indore (Madhya Pradesh),
Pantnagar (Uttarakhand), Sitarganj (Uttarakhand), Bahadurgarh (Haryana), and
Muzaffarpur (Bihar). The plants at Bahadurgarh and Muzaffarpur are some of the
largest manufacturing plants of Parle in India. It deploys large-scale automation for
manufacturing of quality biscuits. It also has several manufacturing units on contract.
 2. Sahyadri Farmer Producer Company, Nashik

Sahyadri Farmer Producer Company Ltd. (SFPCL) came into being in the year
2011, as a revenue model, while ensuring reasonable returns to the farmers and quality and
safe food to the consumers. SFPCL is a leading farmer producer company working with
8000 farmer members with a capital base of 52 crore The company is working with a tagline
“of the farmers, by the farmers, for the farmers”. Sahyadri was a movement started by Shri.
Vilas Shinde, Chairman of the company, with focus on the welfare of the farmers to get
them their righteous due, while doing business profitably. It is pertinent here to mention a
few words about the mentor of this FPC, Shri Vilas Shinde. Shri Shinde, after completing
his Post-Graduation in Agricultural Engineering from MPKVV, Rahuri, Maharashtra,
worked in a private company for a brief period. However, he had a passion to make business
out of agriculture which was his family occupation. Initially, he started cultivating export
quality of grapes and used to market the same through agents appointed by the export firms.
He realised that the price paid by such agents was much lower compared to the international
market price.
This prompted him to explore an opportunity to sell his grapes directly to
the exporting firms for better price compared to price paid by the agents. Due to low
marketable surplus with him, he realised the need for scaling up by working with other
farmers in the region. He started procuring the export quality grapes from farmers in his
village and nearby villages for export of the same to Europe and other countries. It so
happened that in the year 2010, the entire consignment of grapes exported from India was
rejected and all the exporters incurred heavy losses. Further, most of the exporters passed
on their losses to the farmers. However, Shri Vilas Shinde who procured grapes worth 7
crore, paid the entire amount of the farmers. This helped him win permanent trust and
loyalty of the farmers associated with him.
 Sahyadri Farmers Producer Company Limited operates as a agricultural
producer. The Company offers fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as processed food
products including tomato paste, alphonso mango, totapuri pulp, white guava, and red
papaya products. Sahyadri Farmers Producer serves customers in India.
The vision of Sahyadri Farms began with a challenge: Can we ensure a
sustainable model of farming for our small-landholding farmers while also providing
safe and quality food to the customers? Can we have a farmer living a life of dignity
who is able to provide well for his family, along with consumers who are assured of
getting safe and healthy food?

Further, we have all witnessed how the rural communities are forced to migrate
to urban areas but fail to find a life of dignity there as well.
It's this singular vision that has been driving me since I completed my education in
Agriculture and gained first-hand experience of the pitfalls and obstacles of farming
and rural development over the years since 2000.

The work began to take a definitive shape in 2010 with the formation of
‘Sahyadri Farmers Producers Company Limited’ or just ‘Sahyadri Farms’ as it’s
widely known.

We have seen many organisations talk about CSR as one of their activities, but
we at Sahyadri Farms, converted the entire organization into a CSR initiative and it
became a movement that led us into becoming India’s largest farmer-owned agri-
enterprise!

At Sahyadri Farms, we have built world-class infrastructure and processing

facilities that ensure we can work on a sufficiently large scale which is beneficial to
both farmers and our consumers. We work hard to ensure that our farmers receive fair
equity for their produce by building our entire effort around the values of trust and
transparency.
 Our movement also developed a first-of-its-kind branded, traceable product-
mix, that would promote sustainable growth. It would offer the best quality food
products to our consumers at fair prices by achieving economies of scale and costs.

This movement was driven by a farmer - producer model that plays an ever-
increasing role in the rural economy today, providing gainful employment to a large
numbers of farmers and allied resources.

Our vision is to build crop-specific integrated value chains empowered by

technology and efficient management.

It was the formation of a structure, owned by farmers, which, with the passage
of time, has become the farmers ‘best friend. We live by our motto of ‘Seeding
Goodness’ by ensuring that each of our farmers and consumers get their fairly
deserved returns and food products.
Sahyadri Farmers Producer Company Ltd. [popularly known as Sahyadri Farms]
is India's largest grapes exporter company providing integrated value chains to
agriculture. Operating since 2010, Sahyadri Farms is a 100% farmer-owned enterprise
based in Nashik, Maharashtra, India.

Besides 18 exquisite varieties of table grape, our farmers also grow tomato,
pomegranate, banana, sweet corn, mango, citrus (orange and sweet lime), and cashew.

Our positive impact spans multiple sections of the society: Ensuring the best
rates for our farmers, ensuring the best quality for consumers globally, besides caring
for the ecology at large.

Que. How can a company ensure the safety of their employee.

• MAKE SURE ALL WORKERS ARE PROPERLY TRAINED

The organization must provide all workers with safety training using language
they can understand. This training should be given to all new workers, with
refresher courses offered to (or required) for existing workers or when workers
change jobs (within the company). Use your electronic message boards to reinforce
safety training, serving it up in bite-sized messages.

• ENSURE WORKERS HAVE THE PROPER EQUIPMENT

Make sure employees have and use safe tools and equipment and properly
maintain this equipment. Workplace digital signage is an effective tool for
reinforcing injury prevention. Raise awareness around proper handling of hazardous
materials, lock-out tag-out, and machine guarding.

• PROVIDE VISUAL SAFETY AIDS AND MESSAGES

Use color codes, posters, labels, and/or signs to warn employees of potential
hazards. Additionally, place OSHA posters in all work and recreational areas – and
use digital signage to broadcast important safety information, updates, and
messages. For example, employers can display their safety recordable using
automated counters. This visual aide displays real-time data and reminds employees
to stay safe.
Digital signage can be incredibly helpful in emergency situations as, unlike static
posters, you can use it to instantly warn or notify workers of a situation in areas
where mobile phones and computers aren’t allowed. You can also use digital
signage to post daily or weekly workplace “Safety Tips”, recognize employees who
have demonstrated outstanding safety awareness and keep employees up to date on
new rules and regulations.
 • CREATE A SAFETY COMMITTEE – AND HOLD MONTHLY
SAFETY MEETINGS
Establish a workplace health and safety committee made up of workers from
different departments, from senior management to shop-floor-based employees. The
committee should meet at least once a month and keep employees and senior
management informed about safety topics, inspections, injury and illness statistics,
and other safety-related issues. Use your digital signage systems to share key safety
updates with the entire workforce.
Similarly, hold departmental or company-wide safety meetings once a month or
quarterly to solicit employee feedback. Getting regular feedback from employees is
helpful because it opens managers’ eyes to potential hazards that may have gone
unnoticed, lets managers know how employees are doing/feeling, and makes
employees feel valued, which improves mental health and productivity.

• MAKE SAFETY FUN

While safety is no game, one way to help incorporate safety into company culture
is to make learning about safety fun. Use your workplace digital signage to create
safety-themed trivia, quizzes, and videos of safety dos and don’ts. Friendly
competition including prizes, and chances for company-wide recognition are great
motivators. By adding a little fun, there’s a higher chance that employees will stay
engaged, retain the information, and therefore help prevent accidents.
