When the United States-based Kraft Foods, Inc. (KFI) acquired the United Kingdom-based Cadbury plc, KFI got entry into the Indian market. KFI CEO, Irene Rosenfeld had targeted the developing markets as key for the company to achieve a 5% organic growth rate and the strong position of Cadbury India augured well for expanding KFI's presence in that market. However, after nearly a year since the acquisition, KFI was moving slowly in India and appeared content to consolidate Cadbury's market presence. Anand Kripalu, President of KFI South Asia and Indo-China and Managing Director of Cadbury India was to meet his superiors to present his strategic plan for the India operations. He had a critical decision to make regarding whether to continue consolidating the Cadbury brand in India or use Cadbury's strong market presence to launch brands from KFI's global portfolio. |
