Strategy Execution:- 

We can definitely say that it is good challenge taken by Dabur and it is not easy to break the other branded mint candy. Dabur has targeted majority young adult male. Dabur will break the clutter of and increase the competition for other mint candy brand. This brand "Hajmola Mint masti" is multipurpose use digestive + mint and for Dabur this is core idea to break the market. Today, dabur Hajmola are  available in 2 flavor digestive candy "Aam and Imli". From which "Imli flavor has 75% covered while "aam flavor 25 %.

Hajmola digestive tablet has 60 % market and 40% market of Hajmola candy.Hajmola itself is very strong brand  in digestive candy market and for Dabur it is easy to push this new mint base brand. Dabur will give good effect in market. Majority consumers (young,corporate proffessional young are using mint base brand after smoke (esp.chlor mint). For Dabur, it is very good opportunity to cover and break the mint candy market.

Tough Challenge will be for Dabur (Hajmola Mint masti) and Other competitors brand. Let see Dabur will get success or not....As per my opinion it will success...

Thanks you so much srinivas sir. I will do it sure. Thanks also Thanks to Murli sir for guidance and suggestions.
Mr. Virag you received a beautiful suggestion from our beloved friend Mr. Muralidharan.  This is the best example and advantage of having good friends around.  In continuation of the suggestions of Mr. Muralidharan, my suggestion to you  to send your observations on this particular product along with your CV to Dabur.    Be confident enough.  I would like tell you a small story about Mrs. Narayanamurty (Wife of Infosys founder chairman).  In an interview she herself shared this information.  There was an advertisement for a particular post from TATA company. The condition that the post was meant for only Males.  Mrs. Narayanamurty, found that  she got every qualification for the job advertised and she has the confidence required to hold the post.  But the condition annoyed and made her to write a letter to JRD TATA, the then Chairman of TATA group expressing her feelings on the conditions for the post advertised along with her details of qualifications.  She received reply to the letter along with  appointment order.  Her courage to hit at JRD got the job. What do you think now.  Go on, you can win. All the very best.

Virag, You have spent some time to analyse this market. Since you have an acumen to dissect and analyse products with their strengths and weaknesses, why don't you do little more to exploit your knowledge in this segment to monetize!  You may write to Mr. Rajiv John, DGM, Marketing, Digestives, Dabur India, who has plans to aggressive in-market merchandising along with promotions in colleges and offices!
