Introduction

Introduction of Pepsi Co

Pepsi was founded in New York in 1965. It is Producing Non-alcoholic beverage and Food processing items. Pepsi is a carbonated beverage that is produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. It is sold in retail stores, restaurants cinemas and from vending machines. The drink was first made in the 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina. The brand was trademarked on June 16, 1903. Pepsi arrived on the market in India in 1988.PepsiCo gained entry to India in 1988 by creating a joint venture with the Punjab government-owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation (PAIC) and Volta’s India Limited. This joint venture marketed and sold Lehar Pepsi until 1991, when the use of foreign brands was allowed; PepsiCo bought out its partners and ended the joint venture in 1994. Others claim that firstly Pepsi was banned from import in India, in 1970, for having refused to release the list of its ingredients and in 1993, the ban was lifted, with Pepsi arriving on the market shortly afterwards. These controversies are a reminder of "India’s sometimes acrimonious relationship with huge multinational companies." Indeed, some argue that PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company have "been major targets in part because they are well-known foreign companies that draw plenty of attention."

    OVERVIEW: Using television commercials, the corporation conducted a promotion in which it offered merchandise in exchange for "points" earned by purchasing its soft drink. For each item of merchandise sported by a teenager in the commercial, the ad noted the number of points needed to get it. When the teenager was shown in the jet, the ad prices it as 7 million points. The consumer alleged that the ad was an offer, that he accepted the offer by tendering the equivalent of 7 million points, and that the corporation breached its contract to deliver the jet. The district court granted the corporation's motion for summary judgment on the grounds (1) that the commercial did not amount to an offer of goods; (2) that no objective person could reasonably have concluded that the commercial actually offered consumers the jet; and (3) that the alleged contract could not satisfy the New York statute of frauds. On appeal, the court affirmed for substantially the reasons stated by the district court.…

    Pepsi Co is a global food and beverage leader with net revenues of more than $65 billion (Pepsico.com, 2012). Pepsi Co began its life in the summer of 1893. In 1893 Caleb Bradham invented “Brad’s Drink” or Pepsi Cola as it is called today (Pepsistore.com, 2012). By 1898 Caleb Bradham bought a trade name of “Pep Cola” from a competitor who had gone out of business. On December 24, 1902 the Pepsi Cola Company was incorporated (Pepsistore.com, 2012). The following June the Pepsi Cola Syrup was registered with the US Patent Office for use in the fountain machines in the drug stores Caleb Bradham operated. After opening a second drug store with the drink at the fountain, Caleb began to bottle the drink. This same year the Pepsi Cola franchise began. By 1910 250 franchises in 24 states had formed (Pepsistore.com, 2012). Due to poor choices in 1923 Pepsi Cola went bankrupt and Caleb Bradham sold Pepsi Cola to the Craven Holding Corporation. Craven Holding Corporation was the first of many different owners of the Pepsi Cola Corporation. Pepsi Cola endured a second bankruptcy before being bought by Charles G Guth a successful operator of a chain of candy stores. Under this operator Pepsi Cola disembarked a poor working relationship with Coca Cola and soon became a successful national brand again. International expansion began in the 1930’s when the trademark was registered in Latin America and the Soviet Union. During this time bottling franchises had began in Canada. Pepsi retained its American icon theme through out the 40’s and 50’s continuing to grow successfully under the leadership of Charles G Guth. During the initial 45 years of operation Pepsi Cola only sold one product, Pepsi Cola (Pepsiusa.com, 2012). In 1964 Diet Pepsi and Mountain Dew were born into the Pepsi Cola Corporation. By 1965 Pepsi Cola Corporation merged with Frito-Lay Incorporated to form the…

In India the two major player Coca cola and Pepsi made their entries in 1977 but then the market was not that much friendly to the foreign companies. More over the political situation was also not conducive for the foreign companies. But later on the situation post reforms began to look up for these two giants. In 1990 Pepsi-Cola went on sale in India for the first time in 28 years after a six-year battle to sell the US soft drink in India. In 1997, to ensure fast re-entry, Coca Cola paid $40 million to buy the biggest Indian soft-drink brands, including ThumsUp, from a family-owned business. In recent years the soft drink industry in India has been hit by the concerns over health and environmental aspects.…
