The profit margin also rose from 0.10 %( 2011) to 2.04 %( 2015) and 2.59% (9m
FY16). The margins are likely to improve due to falling interest rates and debt repayment.

Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that the following are our principal strengths:
26
based products, which focus on consumer health and nutrition.
Our Strategies
The primary elements of our business strategy are as follows:
28
branding initiatives, including through the use of social media and consumer engagement programs. We
use various media channels to promote our brands including placing advertisements and commercials on
television, newspapers, hoardings and on digital media. We also extensively promote our brands at stores
and supermarkets through in-shop activities and engage in consumer activities such as cooking
competitions and school contact programs. The aggregate of our advertising and marketing expenses and
sales promotion expenses were ` 247.54 million and ` 128.96 million, or 1.7% and 1.2% of our total
revenues for the financial years 2015 and 2014, respectively, and we intend to increase this proportion in
the future. Our marketing team develops strategies to promote each of our products and we currently
propose to focus on promoting our ghee, paneer and fresh milk under the ‘Gowardhan’ brand and our
UHT milk and cheese products under our ‘Go’ brand. As of August 31, 2015, our marketing team
comprises 520 personnel, or 33.1%, of our total workforce.
Increase Our Value-added Products Portfolio and Focus on Health and Nutrition
We constantly focus on research and development to distinguish ourselves from our competitors to
enable us to introduce new products based on consumer preferences and demand. We propose to set up a
research and development centre at our Manchar facility to develop new products and processes and a
technology centre at 50 our Subsidiary for training and development activities and focus on animal
husbandry. We intend to increase the share of our value-added product portfolio by focusing on health
and nutrition to cater to evolving consumer trends. We recently launched flavored milk with higher
protein content under our ‘Topp Up’ brand and buttermilk under our ‘Go’ brand with a few variants
each. We have also introduced milk variants on the basis of specific end-use and introduced our T-Star
milk to be used to make tea and coffee and introduced Go Kidz milk with high protein content for
growing children. We now intend to increase our dairy based beverages portfolio under our ‘Go’ brand
and introduce milk based high protein drinks.
Increase Operational Efficiencies
We intend to continue to increase our operational efficiencies to strengthen our competitive position. We
believe that we have adopted best practices in line with international standards across our production
facilities, drawing on our management’s expertise and experience in facility management. We will
continue to leverage our in-house technological and research and development capabilities to effectively
manage our operations, maintain strict operational controls and enhance customer service levels. As part
of our environmental, health safety and energy management certifications, we have identified major
focus areas of reducing energy and water consumption per litre of milk processed, reducing milk and
29
solid wastage and decreasing emission levels. We have invested significant resources and intend to
further invest in our in-house technology capabilities to develop customized systems and processes such
as express feeder line for electricity at both our facilities, cogeneration turbines for captive power
generation, usage of zero-discharge effluent treatment facility equipment for minimal water usage and
waste management and automation of processes to achieve higher efficiencies.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
Parag Industry, being an integrated dairy player with focus on value-added dairy products (65-70% of
overall portfolio), is in a unique position to reap dual benefits of a dairy company coupled with a FMCG
play in the long run .
The company has moved up the value chain in terms of product portfolio, which is likely to improve
gross margin. Already Parag has one of the highest grosss margins in the industry. Given the strong
structural tailwinds, coupled with explemary focus on branding, communication and reach along with a
bouquet of innovative products, Parag is lilkey to trade at premium valuations akin to FMCG players.
Hence, we assign PER of 31x to FY19E EPS of Rs 9.6 to arrive at our price target of Rs 300.
