1- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Coca-Cola, the product that has given the world its best-known taste was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886. Coca-Cola Company is the world’s leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups, used to produce nearly 400 beverage brands. It sells beverage concentrates and syrups to bottling and canning operators, distributors, fountain retailers and fountain wholesalers.

Atlanta, Georgia when he concocted caramel-colored syrup in a threelegged brass kettle in his backyard.

The main objective of this study lies in understanding the organization and studying and understanding the consumers’ perception and opinion about the latest product, Minute Maid Pulpy Orange, introduced
into India, by the Coca-Cola Company. A consumer sampling involving 5.5 lakh people was conducted in a span of 30 days across major cities in order to give the product the required marketing push and to recognize the prospective consumers and their opinion in order to develop and market the product in a better way in the near future.
