Abstract

This capstone project delves into the dynamic and evolving landscape of the Ready-to-Eat (RTE) and Ready-to-Cook (RTC) food industry, majorly focing on TSK Hospitality to explore strategies for sustainable growth in retail outlets. By integrating insights from Marketing, Finance, HR, and Supply chain management, this project provides a holistic roadmap for TSK to establish itself as a key player in this competitive market. The report identifies critical challenges and opportunities shaping the RTE/RTC sector, such as shifting consumer preferences toward health-conscious and convenient meal solutions, the growing influence of digital marketing, and the need for robust supply chain management. It also examines TSK Hospitality’s current position, addressing gaps in brand awareness, pricing strategies, product innovation, and scalability of its unique communitydriven sales model, Swabhiman Abhiyan. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the industry and TSK’s operational landscape, the research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining consumer surveys, stakeholder interviews, and secondary data analysis. This multi-faceted methodology ensures a wellrounded perspective on market trends, customer expectations, and competitive dynamics. Key findings underscore the importance of health-centric product offerings, transparent labeling, and eco-friendly packaging in appealing to modern consumers. The research also highlights the pivotal role of social media and influencer marketing in building brand awareness, as well as the significance of regional retail partnerships and innovative distribution models like micro-franchising. Additionally, the analysis also explores TSK’s financial feasibility and marketing effectiveness offering actionable recommendations to enhance profitability and long-term sustainability. Ultimately, this project serves as a strategic guide for TSK Hospitality to navigate the complexities of the RTE/RTC market. By leveraging its strengths in D2C sales, community engagement, and product innovation, TSK is well-positioned to carve out a niche and achieve meaningful growth in the years to come.
