Food truck . there were many mistakes.mistakes i wouldn't be repeating whenever I do my second bussiness..it's rightly said success doesnt teach u as much as ur failures :)
Belief in own dream Dedication Hardwork Investing in R&D Goodwill for customers and employees And finally teaching the future generations his own vision 🙏What a businessman
What a surprise!! I have recently watched your older videos about MTR, Lizzat, MDH Masale, Titan, Havells etc and was really missing old business case studies about success stories of indian companies. thank you for this one. Kindly keep them coming along with geopolitical case studies.
Feeling proud that it all started in namma mysuru , out of the many firsts this too is one ! But unfortunately many wouldn’t be aware of it (including me)😅 Thank you think school for bringing out such beautiful insights about this legend and using it to educate the future entrepreneurs of the nation. Sure this would inspire millions and bring about a valuable change in their business and also their lives ! Much Love from Karnataka 💛❤
Trust me I did my MBA from the Indian School of Business and sifted through hundreds of Harvard case studies during my school year but you won’t find such localised Indian success stories/case studies elsewhere and the research, analysis/insights, storytelling and the key lessons top notch every time. Kudos!
Please give this team a reward. It's not even 2 days and yet another Amazing business case study about forgotten Indian entrepreneurs... Thanks for putting this effort. 🙏
I am a student of business and a product of one of the finest bschool in india. Believe me the way this gentleman explains the cases storytelling and the ideas which he shares deserve much more than just appreciation. Love the way he presents beautiful businesses and thier marketing ideas. Thankyou for all your efforts. ❤️
You are getting impressed by his style. Nothing else. According to me incense sticks business will shrink in the years to come. Do you use incense sticks at home? I stopped using it since my mom was suffering with COPD. I haven't used it since a very long time.
@@sunilmakhija5819 You belong to a niche segment where a few people are not comfortable with the smoke or fragrance substance and here comes another opportunity for new product placement by these companies. If you had watched this video sincerely you might had seen that companies are now moving towards carbon neutral brands and hence forth it is great initiative. More over I left over you if you feel this business would shrink over the time. But I feel that this would be a great time to get into such businesses. Now on the personal factors you pinned on me - Sir, I am a very devotional person and burn incense sticks every single day. The thing is I switched from bamboo to bamboo less incense sticks. Another thing is.. sir I had been seen more than thousands of corporate stalwart speaking in front of me and a full time degree understanding the cases and summary of all these companies. So if you feel that this skills is just something which impresses you then yes why not!! A MBA graduate must have such skills. And I would request you not to judge me on what basis I am getting impressed by someone or not. I am not any public figure where you can simply comment on me.

I am from Mysore and Vasu(cycle) is the brand we pick up by default. They have ventured into other areas of fragrances as well. The only Indian premium reed diffuser brand IRIS is again cycle.
Its surely one of my fav case study from Think School. It proves that if you believe in your product and if the product is genuinely good it doesn't matter the market situation or economic crisis. The marketing strategy was a genius stroke. And the power of book. The change it can bring... Honestly when the cycle agarbatti lightes up it brings me back to my childhood. That smell... wow. Thanks again for this case study team Think School.
Got goosebumps when you spoke about 3 in 1…. After so many decades I still buy 3 in 1 at home… Such an easy explanation for everyone to understand…. Extraordinary work team !!
I never thought of buying agarbatti from this brand despite of watching their ads for several years, but your video has motivated to buy one!! Thanks for your insight and research on this topic.

No amount of articles, news can make any case study as interesting as u guys do it. Hats off to your efforts. Hope this channel grows more and more each day.
Ganesh is back!! Gosh, how much I used to miss these case studies. The learnings are a gem. Keep posting such videos in future. It is your bread and butter.
If quality exists,no amount of promotional push is needed, customer pull is something every company aspires for... thanks for sharing this amazing case study
One more good case study by the Think School team. I come from a family with generations of businessmen and businesswomen. Empathy definitely is the top priority. I remember my grandfather always telling my uncles and older cousins to provide customers what the customers require and not impose what we want. This case study reminded me of that.
You forgot to mention one important learning, besides mentioning that in the passing. Agarbathi making provided livelihood to thousands of families, since women could make them at home and make adequate money. Cycle brand was an aspiration also because they gave jobs to the unlettered and disfranchised. Any industry that incorporates society in their growth story succeeds. IT is another example
Business not only requires profit motive, But also empathy. Cycle agarbatti became social enterprise. 👍👍 Requesting for business case study about HMT rise and fall and again rise(hmt has reduced to micro segment from machines and tools to watch making which still is profit)
Cycle also has a sports quota for employees and has employed many cricketers of mysore and thus supports many players to forget economic status and focus on cricket👏👏👏👏
I am running my own business from past 5 years. From my experience many up and down i seen. And got a mantra that. . Self confidence and continue try is most needed in business to be live.
Wow, we can learn more from the traditional businesses than we can imagine. It's time to pause our obsession with every american company and look inwards for the jewels we might have missed, like TATA, Lijjat papad and many more. Also, they teach us that its not the degree that's the roadblock, it's your own vision and nature for the business. Thanks alot think school for this one😊
What a marketing genius was this Agarbatti King without even doing MBA. Very good case study. Please also take up cases of people who have failed as it would also be a learning lesson of how not to fail 😜
It simply gives me goosebumps just to think about the amount of hardwork that you put behind making each of these videos. Just amazing. Please keep up the good work and enlighten us with these business lessons.
Once of the best business case study.. Please document all you case study and release it as a hard copy.. it'll be one of best selling books for ever. Keep the good work. You're making wondeful foundation to youngster.
I have been following this channel from past 4-5 months the way you explain the case studies with a very simple example is your USP. Right now I don't find any other channel to explain things in such a simple manner that a even 10th class student can understand such topics
How many watching this video use cycle at home? I was not even aware of any other brand for a long time. Great business case study.sometime in future someone will do a case study on think school and ganesh &team.
As a person from Mysore, this video made me so happy that a success story from my city is being told to the national audience. Mysore back then was the startup capital of India!!! Mysore sandal soap, Mysore silk saree, Mysore Pak sweets, Mysore cycle agarbatti...(and the list goes on and on)
Thanks for covering this. I also use Cycle Brand in USA and I love it! I didn't know the story behind. Thanks for sharing. And I love your school teaching. You are a wonderful articulator, teacher. Great job! I love your videos.
You know why I love to watch your video's. You simply put forth the data, explain in layman language, highlight the learnings. Just a suggestion: you can try lowering the background music.
I hail from Bengaluru. Now I have left Bengaluru, and settled permanently at Puducherry. CYCLE AGARBATTI WAS THE BRAND LEADER IN THEIR FIELD. We have a wholesale notebook business at Bengaluru. Several years ago, CYCLE BRAND PLACED A LORRY LOAD OF 32 PAGES NOTEBOOKS WITH US. I STILL RETAIN THIS EVENT, IN MY MIND.
I feel like be in my 7 year back MBA class room while watching your case studies...Kudos to the outstanding preparations by the team and fantastic presentation👌👍👏
I love Cycle Agarbattis especially Rhythm. I have a severe allergy to the strong smell of the cheap agarbattis. I get a severe headache and get nauseated. I actually avoid going to any shops in the morning, because that is the time when the shopkeepers light like 4-5 of those cheap agarbattis with no ventilation in their shops! It’s suffocating…The first time I went to a shopping mart, after I was married we had a puja at our home, and I was determined to buy a mild simple fragrance agarbatti… and that’s when I found rhythm by cycle agarbatti. It’s so so so good… I never get headaches, this is the only brand of agarbatti that does not give me a nausea !! Thank you so much for making a video about cycle agarbatti… this brand should actually be celebrated, I never knew how progressive they are with paternity leaves and being a completely carbon free company …!
Because it's trust and quality despite being big brand it's still hasn't lowered quality and maintained price The free stuff they give as bonus is still there 4 cones or one big match box
I have been associated with this industry for nearly two decades now. But i never thought "Think school" migh make a beautiful and an in depth case study of the all too humble Agarbathi industry. Be it known that, in addition to being one of our most traditional cultural product this so-called humble incense sticks are a major employer in the unorganized sector of this country employing nearly a million poor people and its total exports from india are perhaps to the extent of nearly half a billion US Dollars and rising. Anyway millions of thanks to Think School for making an excellent case study of this unique product and raise the level of awareness of the potential of our country even at lower levels.
I start my agarbatti business with 3000 last year February. Now , I can sell over 800 dozens / month . And looking forward & process to start my another business which cost 15 lakhs also this year 😌
lighting incense sticks outside shops and leaving is just straight up badass, the trust you must have in your product to do that is unbelievable. Great lesson👍
Another amazing detailed case study by our favourite think school. And such case studies are really important where people are fooled by valuation, cash burn, marketing karni hein bhai and etc. This is what is called a real business. From day one you have to profitable.
Nice business case study. I am from Karnataka I don't even know this brand is from Karnataka till the date. Thanks for the information. Love from Karnataka.
There is a book named "Shunya se Shikhar". A book on the success saga of Indian Corporates by Prakash Biyani published in 2004 and many editions. The book coves the story of the struggle of Indian Corporates. Very nice and inspiring book.
I am so glad that I found this channel which help me to understand very important business lessons and different business strategies of big brands. Thank you think school for creating this type of channel which helps us to understand different business concepts in an easier way.
I was riveted to my stool from beginning till end. So absorbing. I shared the success story narrated by you with my family. Well done. Best compliments.
Proud to say this brand is from Mysore and from our locality. They have given jobs to lot of village people. Great company with concern to society. Lot of csr activities including a free residential school visually impaired girls.
My favourite brand too. We use ONLY this agarbatti at home from many decades.. Happy to know its history and information about the company Now after using it for almost 40 to 50 years without bothering to know about it being myself a native of Mysore!!! 🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏
best part is how he made the retailers & customers understand the value of his product ...way back then when people where in poverty ....so guy where ever you are ...whatever may be your environment ...one needs to have a great attitude to make wonders
As always, Superb. Well researched. The volume of background music is at correct level almost not perceptible. The topic is fascinating as always. Excellent presentation. It is a pleasure hearing you. Wow Scent business has so many secrets
To be honest GANESH PRASAD never disappointed us with his case study and I think his channel will grow rapidly with his team efforts, THIS YEAR mark my words.
Mai is company me marketing ki job ki hai aor mai is company ke market strategy se sutisfied hu lockdown me full sallery mili h and company owner ne har ek person se by zoom meeting ki hai
Man this is insane how he built and kept growing the company 🫡🫡 It's a shame that we didn't know about this story despite the company being from Karnataka. Thanks for bringing us this story.
HELL0 think school your content is much more enthusiastic and knowledgeable for the passionate one for who can't afford B school. Your vision is appropriate for the society Thank you.
In today's world the entrepreneurs are cosmetic and more cinematic. Very much relied upon social media and other stuffs, but from this kind of Pioneer in the industry we can understand what is the main value of business. Good job
Such an insightful video!! I love your videos and the way you deliver them, be it business strategies, economics or politics. Thank you so much for such amazing content and Kudos to you!
At those times it's possible but now a days it's difficult, now a days you can do business only if you can address the problems of current environment... The way you sell your solution shows your marketing skill..
No words to appreciate the level of work you are doing Ganesh❤️ As your name is, you are बुध्दिदाता (Buddhidata) - Provider of intelligence Derived from बुध् (Budh) - to be awake, gain consciousness
What a Beautiful Story of (Cycle Agarbatti) Mr. Rao what a Man and I can say his Family not only doing business they created a Family which runs under Pure Values.

Thanks Think School for this case study... Got to know about a legend today..one of the best case study presented by Think school ♥️
There is a book named "Shunya se Shikhar". A book on the success saga of Indian Corporates by Prakash Biyani published in 2004 and many editions.
The book coves the story of the struggle of Indian Corporates.
Very nice and inspiring book.

To be honest GANESH PRASAD never disappointed us with his case study and I think his channel will grow rapidly with his team efforts,
THIS YEAR mark my words.
"They wanted to be a 'good' company". Great👏
Even in his childhood raoji when selling sweets in childhood in school he crushed competition buy giving free mint chocolate as incentive

Man this is insane how he built and kept growing the company 🫡🫡 It's a shame that we didn't know about this story despite the company being from Karnataka. Thanks for bringing us this story.
That initial technique to enter into the market was amazing.
Liked the video very much
very informative.
Genuine video from think school after a long time. Superb.
No influence of personal political opinion. Nice one.
By far your best case study presentation Mr ganes
This is awesome , study on Indian companies is more useful and powerful ,it is emotion.
HELL0 think school your content is much more enthusiastic and knowledgeable for the passionate one for who can't afford B school. Your vision is appropriate for the society Thank you.
In today's world the entrepreneurs are cosmetic and more cinematic. Very much relied upon social media and other stuffs, but from this kind of Pioneer in the industry we can understand what is the main value of business.
Good job
Your team has done a tremendous job in bringing up these case studies. The marketing part by Rao Sir was just superb.
This is going to be my forever favourite youtube channel I suppose.
Wow!! Amazing strategy by Rao sir..im blessed to be born in mysuru❤️
Thanks Ganesh for the case study..
Such an insightful video!!
I love your videos and the way you deliver them, be it business strategies, economics or politics.
Thank you so much for such amazing content and Kudos to you!
At those times it's possible but now a days it's difficult, now a days you can do business only if you can address the problems of current environment... The way you sell your solution shows your marketing skill..
No words to appreciate the level of work you are doing Ganesh❤️
