is backed by 500 employees who are proficient

Work Culture
The work culture at CavinKare features lots
of freedom, immense responsibility and due
credits in creating an ambitious and admirable
Indian Company.
CavinKare provides its
employees an atmosphere of easy informality,
and an absence of restrictive hierarchies
or functional boundaries. Communication
is encouraged across levels and departments;
cross functional teams flourish; the top
management to the junior most employees
participate in open house sessions; value
based management is often a part of the
agenda in many meetings; and innovations
big and small are applauded. These are the
factors that drive the corporate entity
called CavinKare.
Communication among people is the life force
of CavinKare's vibrancy and dynamism. Numerous
forums exist. There are dialogue sessions,
intranets, attitude surveys, off-work gatherings,
sporting events, and idea contests. They
help encourage interaction among people
in many settings and in different contexts.
Product Branding
CavinKare has grown with minimal investment.
Invariably, existing brands supported new
brands. Its brand strategy is one of consolidation
of existing brands, focusing on niche areas,
sometimes giving the products a distinct
regional flavour to counter larger rivals.
Typically, every brand
of CavinKare has a distinct USP (Unique
Selling Proposition), which appeals to specific
target groups. It chooses to extend brands
only when they make sense for the consumer.
It is hardly surprising then, that the customer
retention level of the company's brands
is very high.
It differentiates its
products on three parameters - price, quality,
and packaging. With a formidable combination
of unique marketing strategies, outstanding
packaging and distribution, CavinKare had
the courage to mass distribute its products
in low-penetration areas.
Human Resources
A well thought out HR philosophy anchors
all these diverse initiatives and activities.
The company believes in grooming its managers
for today and tomorrow. A detailed management
trainee scheme ensures a reservoir of talent.
The core functions of Human Resources Management,
such as recruitment, training, and performance
management are integrated through a comprehensive
competency framework. All these efforts
are enabled with the implementation of a
world-class HR Information System.
