The study was conducted among target customers in Chennai and Coimbatore. The respondents were asked to taste the product and their responses were recorded simultaneously.

The respondents were even able to recognize the USPs of the product. The study provided insights on how further positioning could be done for the product. Secondary Research helped in understanding the industry and competition. Based on the findings from the research, Brand Kare also provided strategic recommendations on the pricing, promotion and distribution management of the product
