Line: From the every beginning TCL (Tata Chemicals Ltd.) has successfully grown by meeting consumer
requirements in a mutually beneficial way. To determine its benchmark, it uses its own ‘Customer Requirements
Determination Process (CRDP)’ where unit explores present and future customer requirements to
enable them to
(5) incorporate those in their business offering. This process starts with listening to end-users by exploring
various customer listening information sources. This information captures various expectations of customers.
Next step starts with identification of segments and matching of segment wise expectations. Outcome
of this exercise gives enough guidelines about new business scopes and grey areas of current
(10) business practices, After validation of customer expectations through cross checking, TCL matches
its internal resources and skill sets with external opportunities and threats to address attractive business
avenues. Launch of Tata Kisan Sansar was an outcome to that to offer all sort of end-to end agree solutions
of farmers.

(15) an employment share of around 69 percent of the work force and with a contribution of near about 24
percent of the GDP of the country. Indian agriculture sector has its importance in economic growth but

of proving ‘one-stop agri input shop’ to the farmers. With the

(TKKS) more extensively to market their products. It was understood by the company that the range of
offering under the TKKS offered an attractive basket of benefits to the farmers. The business model of the
TKKs was base on offering a complete set of inputs to the farmer. Along with this, it also offered
(35) extension services and technology inputs to help farmers plan their crops. At that time it dealt more
with offering fertilizers and other inputs form those centers. Over the time it realized the job is half done
because requirement of a farmer is multi-layered. To offer more holistic services it changed “Tata Kisan
Kendra” as ‘Tata mulit-layered. To offer a more holistic services it changed “Tata Kisan Kendra’ as ‘Tata
Kisan Sansar’ and repositioned it as ‘one-stop farmers solution shop’ by offering entire
(40) range of agri services including quality agri input products. Objective was to empower farmers by
