This is how they make a profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amul on the other hand is not a private company, it is a Co-operative, where small farmers and dairy producers come together to pool their resources, process and market their product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Co-operative their aim is not to make profits for the company, but to maximize the returns for its stakeholders\/suppliers, who are also the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dairy being a perishable good, they also have to ensure much of the products are sold off within the end of the day. They do so by ensuring a delicate equilibrium of the lowest difference between buying and selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategy\/philosophy has worked wonders for the company. Amul is already the largest FMCG in India with revenues of Rs 52000 crores in 19-20. Whereas, the largest listed FMCG company, Hindustan Unilever had revenues of about Rs 40,000 crores as of March &#8217;20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"818\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20200816_161606-818x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20200816_161606-818x1024.jpg 818w, https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20200816_161606-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20200816_161606-768x961.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20200816_161606.jpg 1023w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google launches People Cards in India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever wanted your name to rank on Google, now it&#8217;s possible with Google People Cards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now set up how you want to be found on Google Search in form of virtual visiting cards that shows details such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Your name<br>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Occupation&nbsp;<br>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Education<br>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb About<br>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Website<br>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Social media handles<br>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Phone\/E-Mail<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create just search for Add me to search while being logged on to your google account from mobile<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"507\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-71.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-71.png 507w, https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-71-235x300.png 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost, Price and Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Warren Buffett once said &#8220;Price is what you pay, value is what you get&#8221; this is not only applicable in stock picking, but in everyday life and business also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost: Money incurred on the raw materials, effort, and process of manufacturing a product or rendering a service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you will almost never be able to buy a product at this cost, because who would want to sell at break even?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price: Cost + Profit&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what you and me pay for to buy a product or a service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Value: What the customer gets out of a product or a service that he paid the price for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can Value exceed the Price?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you paid 50000 rupees to buy your latest phone, the Price you paid is 50000, which might have Cost the manufacturer 30000 to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s say you were able able to derive a value of Rs 70000 with the phone over its life time, this might be through actual money earned by selling photos you take, leveraging social media or percieved value from daily tasks the phone was ment for, or even the social image of having Xyz Phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Value >> Price, people will pay you money for it.
