Executive Summary

Our main idea is to come up with a brand of chocolate like no other which does not offer the
conventional chocolates and varieties like the other chocolate makers but offer the consumers
a chocolate experience unparalleled. We want the consumers to experience the quintessential
and finest taste in chocolate without the worry of emptying ones wallet.

The unique characteristic of our chocolate is that the different types of our chocolate will be
able to cure different diseases. For example a particular variant of chocolate can cure
diarrhoea, while another can help in digestion, fever etc. Our chocolate does all this without
any sacrifice in flavour and with the authentic taste of true chocolate.

The name of our chocolate brand will be Xtasy which will give an ecstatic experience to the
consumers and which we feel, customers can easily associate with.

Our target market is the state of Karnataka. On further expansion and successful
implementation of our product we will expand to other markets outside like Kerala and Tamil
Nadu.

We would like to target the consumers of all age groups. We will be selling five different
types of chocolates-

a) Xtasy Premium Chocolates (Gold in colour for curing fever)

b) Xtasy Premium Chocolate (Green in colour for curing diarrhoea)
c) Xtasy Premium Chocolate (Red in colour for curing digestion problems)
d) Xtasy Premium Chocolate (Blue in colour for curing cold)
e) Xtasy Premium Chocolate (Black in colour for curing cough)

The location of our manufacturing unit will be in Mandya as the area and the labour force is
cheap as well as that there is ample of raw materials to be found there. We will be selling to
wholesalers and retailers to maximize our sales and we will do ample marketing as our
budget allows us.

Our budget currently sits at 1 crore which is small for a chocolate company understandably
but will further expand on profitisation.

The core competencies on which our company would be competing are taste and quality of
our chocolates.

Our company would be a partnership firm of 3 partners- Rahul Roy, Ajay Krishnan and
Lasim Fasal.

There would be 2 finance managers, 2 marketing managers, 1 general manager and 50

labourers as part of our initial workforce.

of Karnataka, distributing the chocolates in the prime areas and on further profitization as
well as growth and expansion will expand to other South Indian regions and our main goal is
to be a market leader in the Indian segment.

and losses are shared equally and the capital is also invested equally by all the partners. All

Product line
Companies create product lines as a marketing strategy to capture sales of consumers already
buying the brand. The operating principle is that consumers are more likely to respond
positively to brands they know and love and are willing to buy the new products based on
their positive experiences with the brand. Product lines can vary in color, size, quality and
price. Companies use product lines to gauge trends, which helps them determine which
markets to target.

We have white chocolates dark chocolates milk chocolates to suit the consumer taste and
preferences

STP
Segmentation
The segmenting step is essentially a brainstorming activity. You list out all the potential
market segments you could target in a marketing campaign. Xtasy chocolates segmented the
population of Karnataka

Targeting
When you have multiple, distinct market segments, you typically need to customize
marketing campaigns that appeal to each. As you go through the STP process, you select
which segment to target with your upcoming campaign. Xtasy chocolates targets people of all
ages, especially people who have difficulty having medicines

Positioning
Positioning is how you align your brand or products in the target market. The goal is to offer
something that is bigger, better or more valuable than your competitors to a particular market
segment. For example,

Xtasy uses advertisements such as poster and other promotional strategy to create a target
image in the customer

Financial Plan
Initial Investment

Initial investment is the amount required to start a business or a project. Initially we are
looking at an investment of around 1 crore, which is understably small, but we look to
progress further in the future with successful sales. We have carefully estimated all the
expenses and considering our capital restrictions we believe its the best investment possible
which can achieve our short term goals. The initial investment will be more concentrated on
the building of the factory, acquiring of raw materials, and the distribution of the product.

Sources of Funds

The funds for the initial investment will be partly be borne by the three partners and the rest
will be covered by a bank loan. As stated earlier we do not have the financial power to
catapult us directly into the mix of the pile. Therefore we are starting small. Lasim, Ajay and
I are investing an approximate of 20 lakh rupees each and we are then taking a bank loan of
40 lakh rupees . The bank from which we are taking a loan from is Bajaj Finance Corporation
which we have selected as they are able to provide us this large sum of money for an interest
rate lesser than other companies. The rate of interest is 14% which we will pay back in a
quarter yearly basis for 5 years. It also has a minimal processing fee of 2% which will also be
accounted for. The remaining 60 lakh rupees are coming from our own pockets.

Depreciation

Business purchases often come with high price tags attached, but many of them are
investments that will be used in the company for years to come. Depreciation is a system that
allows deduction to the cost of a high ticket business item over the time one uses it, rather
than deducting the cost of the asset in a single hit.

Businesses depreciate for both tax and accounting purposes tax depreciation is set by law,
while accounting depreciation tries to faithfully match the cost of an asset over its life.
During each accounting period, a portion of the cost of each depreciable asset is allocated,
and that portion gets reported as a depreciation expense on our businesss income statement.
Buildings, machinery, computers, equipment, furniture, and vehicles are all examples of
items that are depreciated. These items would be depreciated because they all have a
relatively long useful life, compared to things like office supplies, for example, that have a
short useful life (under one year).
The cost of items with a short useful life are deducted up front. Expensing these costs up
front is more attractive because of the quicker tax benefit. But for those longer term
investments with a higher price and long useful life, youll be required to depreciate the cost.
This is how we plan to manage the depreciation of the different items of our organization.

Break Even Analysis

Break-even analysis is of vital importance in determining the practical application of cost

functions. It is a function of three factors, i.e. sales volume, cost and profit. It aims at
classifying the dynamic relationship existing between total cost and sale volume of a
company.

Break even point refers to the point at which the organisation reclaims the capital that they
had initially invested in the establishment of the company. It is widely regarded that after they
achieve this point is when they truly start earning profits .

Our organization aims at achieving the breakeven point by 6 years. Though it is longer than
some companies, our investments and expenses are substantiated and from then on we aim to
go large scale. With a steady flow of income and profit, and increased demand and favourable
selling environment, the earliest we hope for is 5 years.

Payback Period
Payback period in capital budgeting refers to the period of time required to recoup the funds
expended in an investment, or to reach the break-even point. As stated earlier, the break even
point which our company projects is 6 years with standard business sales and a possible 5
years with remarkable market conditions.

Conclusion

Xstasy Pvt Ltd aims to be one of the largest chocolate distributors in the country by the next
decade. Though the road ahead is not smooth and we will face obstacles at every turn, we
believe we have truly what it takes to make it all the way. We have the resources, the finance
and the ideas as well as the passion to really make it count. We will start small but will
rapidly spread our business to a larger proportion of the country and finally the whole country
as well. After we reach our breakeven point and complete our payback period, we will
concentrate on the marketing of our product which was not concentrated upon very much
before. We will expand our base and our offices as well as our factories and innovate our
products in the best possible manner. We are Xtasy Chocolates and your ecstasy is our policy.
