Case study --- Business Environment --- McDonald’s -- part 2

26-7-17

McDonald’s knew foods whereas Amit Jatia (who managed McDonald’s branches in South and west India)  and Vikram Bakshi (who managed McDonald’s branches in North and East India)  knew properties (Real Estate). The first question which should come in mind is “why the two business entity from different business affair joined hands IN 1995 to start a Joint Venture?”

If we closely observe, the reason is apparent. It was a win-win situation for both the parties. India was open for new business Ideas. In their meetings they had discussed all the reasons and conditions which were outside and inside the control of the future joint venture. First they discussed political, social and newly changed economical conditions of India. Once they found them favorable they brought their discussions to prospective customers and competition in India. 

McDonald had International quality of food which most of the Indians had not tasted before. There was almost no competition for McDonald’s products. Huge market was waiting for the penetration, indicating wishful revenue generation. However, McDonald’s management also noticed that Indian business environment is different from the business environment of Europe or America, so they needed a different plan for Indian market to grow the business. 

  Amit Jatia  and Vikram Bakshi used their past experience and made proper surveys  in real estate to find suitable properties and Invested the money at proper location. There was no Internet in 1995 to enter and spread into Indian Business environment (like Amazon is doing in India these days). Brick and mortar was the only way to start and expand.

Value alone, of these properties, have made them milliners (comparing prices of properties in 1995 and in 2017). Apart from that, McDonald’s food became alternative of weekend, holiday and birthday food.The food was safe, delicious and affordable to pocket. Parents approved the food whereas children loved it consequently profit poured in. Restaurants branches spread generating full as well as part time Jobs for Indian youngsters and taxes for Indian government.
