TECNOLOGY

COMPANY HISTORY ITC was incorporated on August 24, 1910 under the name of 'Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited'. Its beginnings were humble. A leased office on Radha Bazaar Lane, Kolkata, was the centre of the Company's existence. The Company celebrated its 16th birthday on August 24, 1926, by purchasing the plot of land situated at 37, Chowringhee, (now renamed J.L. Nehru Road) Kolkata, for the sum of Rs 310,000. This decision of the Company was historic in more ways than one. It was to mark the beginning of a long and eventful journey into India's future. The Company's headquarter building, 'Virginia House', which came up on that plot of land two years later, would go on to become one of Kolkata's most venerated landmarks. The Company's ownership progressively Indianised and the name of the Company was changed to I.T.C. Limited in 1974. In recognition of the Company's multi-business portfolio encompassing a wide range of businesses - Cigarettes & Tobacco, Hotels, Information Technology, Packaging, Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Agri-Exports, Foods, Lifestyle Retailing and Greeting Gifting & Stationery - the full stops in the Company's name were removed effective September 18, 2001.

Though the first six decades of the Company's existence were primarily devoted to the growth and consolidation of the Cigarettes and Leaf Tobacco businesses, the Seventies witnessed the beginnings of a corporate transformation that would usher in momentous changes in the life of the Company. ITC's Packaging & Printing Business was set up in 1925 as a strategic backward integration for ITC's Cigarettes business. It is today India's most sophisticated packaging house. In 1975 the Company launched its Hotels business with the acquisition of a hotel in Chennai which was rechristened 'ITC-Welcome group Hotel Chola'. The objective of ITC's entry into the hotels business was rooted in the concept of creating value for the nation. ITC chose the hotels business for its potential to earn high levels of foreign exchange, create tourism infrastructure

and generate large scale direct and indirect employment. Since then ITC's Hotels business has grown to occupy a position of leadership, with over 100 owned and managed properties spread across India. In 1979, ITC entered the Paperboards business by promoting ITC Bhadrachalam Paperboards Limited, which today has become the market leader in India. Bhadrachalam Paperboards amalgamated with the Company effective March 13, 2002 and became a Division of the Company, Bhadrachalam Paperboards Division. In November 2002, this division merged with the Company's Tribeni Tissues Division to form the Paperboards & Specialty Papers Division. ITC's paperboards' technology, productivity, quality and manufacturing processes are comparable to the best in the world. It has also made an immense contribution to the development of Sarapaka, an economically backward area in the state of Andhra Pradesh. It is directly involved in education, environmental protection and community development. In 2004, ITC acquired the paperboard manufacturing facility of BILT Industrial Packaging Co. Ltd (BIPCO), near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The Kovai Unit allows ITC to improve customer service with reduced lead time and a wider product range.

In 1990, ITC acquired Tribeni Tissues Limited, a Specialty In 1985, ITC set up Surya Tobacco Co. in Nepal as an Indo-Nepal and British joint venture. Since inception, its shares have been held by ITC, British American Tobacco and various independent shareholders in Nepal. In August 2002, Surya Tobacco became a subsidiary of ITC Limited and its name was changed to Surya Nepal Private Limited (Surya Nepal). The merged entity was named the Tribeni Tissues Division (TTD). To harness strategic and operational synergies, TTD was merged with the Bhadrachalam Paperboards Division to form the Paperboards & Specialty Papers Division in November 2002. Also in 1990 leveraging its Agri-sourcing competency ITC set up the Agri Business Division for export of Agri-commodities. The Division is today one of India's largest exporters. ITC's unique and now widely acknowledged e-Chou pal initiative began in 2000 with soya farmers in Madhya Pradesh. Now it extends to 10 states covering over 4 million farmers. ITC's first rural mall, christened 'Chou pal Saagar' was inaugurated in August 2004 at Sehore. On the rural retail front,

24 'Chou pal Saagar' are now operational in the 3 states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. In 2000, ITC launched a line of high quality greeting cards under the brand name 'Expressions'. In 2002, the product range was enlarged with the introduction of Gift wrappers, Autograph books and Slam books. In the same year, ITC also launched 'Expressions Matrubhasha', a vernacular range of greeting cards in eight languages and 'Expressions Paperkraft', a range of premium stationery products. In 2003, the company rolled out 'Classmate', a range of notebooks in the school stationery segment. ITC also entered the Lifestyle Retailing business with the Wills Sport range of international quality relaxed wear for men and women in 2000. The Wills Lifestyle chain of exclusive stores later expanded its range to include Wills Classic formal wear (2002) and Wills Club life evening wear (2003). ITC also initiated a foray into the popular segment with its men's wear brand, John Players, in 2002. In 2006, Wills Lifestyle became title partner of the country's most premier fashion event - Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week - that has gained recognition from buyers and retailers as the single largest B-2-B platform for the Fashion Design industry. To mark the occasion, ITC launched a special 'Celebration Series', taking the event forward to consumers. In 2007, the Company introduced 'Miss Players'- a fashion brand in the popular segment for the young woman.

In 2000, ITC spun off its information technology business into a wholly owned subsidiary, ITC InfoTech India Limited, to more aggressively pursue emerging opportunities in this area. Today ITC InfoTech is one of India’s fastest growing global IT and IT-enabled services companies and has established itself as a key player in offshore outsourcing, providing outsourced IT solutions and services to leading global customers across key focus verticals Manufacturing, BFSI (Banking, Financial Services & Insurance), CPG&R (Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail), THT (Travel, Hospitality and Transportation) and Media & Entertainment. ITC's foray into the Foods business is an outstanding example of successfully blending multiple internal competencies to create a new driver of business growth. It began in August 2001 with

the introduction of 'Kitchens of India' ready-to-eat Indian gourmet dishes. In 2002, ITC entered the confectionery and staples segments with the launch of the brands mint-o and Candy man confectionery and Aashirvaad atta (wheat flour). 2003 witnessed the introduction of Sun feast as the Company entered the biscuits segment. ITC's entered the fast growing branded snacks category with Bingo! in 2007. In just seven years, the Foods business has grown to a significant size with over 200 differentiated products under six distinctive brands, with an enviable distribution reach, a rapidly growing market share and a solid market standing. In 2002, ITC's philosophy of contributing to enhancing the competitiveness of the entire value chain found yet another expression in the Safety Matches initiative. ITC now markets popular safety matches brands like iKno, Mangaldeep, Aim, Aim Mega and Aim Metro. ITC's foray into the marketing of Agarbattis (incense sticks) in 2003 marked the manifestation of its partnership with the cottage sector. ITC's popular Agarbattis brands include Spriha and Mangaldeep across a range of fragrances like Rose, Jasmine, Bouquet, Sandalwood, Madhur, Sambrani and Nagchampa. ITC introduced Essenza Di Wills, an exclusive range of fine fragrances and bath & body care products for men and women in July 2005. Inizio, the signature range under Essenza Di Wills provides a comprehensive grooming regimen with distinct lines for men (Inizio Homme) and women (Inizio Femme). Continuing with its tradition of bringing world class products to Indian consumers the Company launched 'Fiama Di Wills', a premium range of Shampoos, Shower Gels and Soaps in September, October and December 2007 respectively. The Company also launched the 'Superia' range of Soaps and Shampoos in the mass-market segment at select markets in October 2007 and Vivel De Wills & Vivel range of soaps in February and Vivel range of shampoos in June 2008.

WORK DONE To begin with, internship training was undergone by me in FORTUNE GROUP OF HOTELS .I had to work in marketing department, which is one of the most interesting department in hotel

management. To talk about my internship experience in FORTUNE GROUP OF HOTELS, I would like to start with the working of the marketing department.

FORTUNE marketing department is headed by a corporate team and all the metro’s are having regional marketing office through which sales personnel will tap the business and forward it to the respective hotel. For example marketing office in Chennai will speak to the clients and forward it to the respective hotels for room reservations. In marketing department I was given the work of telecalling where in following types of calls were made.

They are four kinds of call namely: •

Courtesy call

•

Cold call

•

Follow up call

•

Bliss call

 Courtesy call: The executive of the hotel meet their clients to have good relation and fulfill their requirements, such as booking of rooms, banquet halls, etc.

 Cold call: the executive visit new companies and promote their product. By this the hotel gains new clients.

 Follow up call: Follow up call is also called as reminder call. Executive keep in contact with their clients to fulfill their requirement.

 Bliss call: when an executive fails to cover a particular area, group of executive join together to promote their product at that area. This group work is called as bliss call. When sales executive go for call, a coordinator of sales and marketing department coordinate the day today work of the executives.

Work of the coordinator is as follows •

Coordinate the work of the executive such as

•

Updating the tariff of the rooms and banquets to the executives

•

Sending and checking the received mail of the hotel.

•

Keeping informed of the day today activities happening at the hotel to the executives

•

Providing necessary information to the clients in absence of the executives at the hotel.

•

Reservation of rooms and banquets

•

Checking the availability of rooms and banquets

WORKING CONDITIONS Hours. Because hotel is open around the clock, employees frequently work varying shifts or variable schedules. Employees who work the late shift generally receive additional compensation. Many employees enjoy the opportunity to work part-time, nights or evenings, or other schedules that fit their availability for work and the hotel’s needs. Hotel managers and many department supervisors may work regularly assigned schedules, but they also routinely work longer hours than scheduled, especially during peak travel times or when multiple events are scheduled. Also, they may be called in to work on short notice in the event of an emergency or to cover a position. Office and administrative support workers generally work scheduled hours in an office setting, meeting with guests, clients, and hotel staff. Their work can become hectic processing orders and invoices, dealing with demanding guests, or servicing requests that require a quick turnaround,

but job hazards typically are limited to muscle and eye strain common to working with computers and office equipment. Computer specialists, information technology and audiovisual technicians typically maintain standard hours servicing the property’s websites and computer and communications networks. However, they often work long hours setting up and testing equipment for events that require their services. Work environment. Work in hotels and other accommodations can be demanding and hectic. Hotel staffs provide a variety of services to guests and must do so efficiently, courteously, and accurately. They must maintain a pleasant demeanor even during times of stress or when dealing with an impatient or irate guest. Alternately, work at slower times, such as the off-season or overnight periods, can seem slow and tiresome. Still, hotel workers must be ready to provide guests and visitors with gracious customer service at any hour. Food preparation and food service workers in hotels must withstand the strain of working during busy periods and being on their feet for many hours. Kitchen workers lift heavy pots and kettles and work near hot ovens and grills. Job hazards include slips and falls, cuts, and burns, but injuries are seldom serious. Food service workers often carry heavy trays of food, dishes, and glassware. Many of these workers work part time, including evenings, weekends, and holidays

Work done in sales and marketing department 1. I was briefed about the hotel and its achievements. 2. Had a virtual tour around the hotel 3. Interaction with the higher sales and marketing executives 4. I was taught how sales and marketing department worked in hospitality industry

We also learned about the PMS software: PMS software is used to check the occupancy /availability of the rooms and banquets in the hotel. The activities of all the department of the hotel can be reviewed through this software.

5.I created a database of all the clients of the hotel in an excel sheet which contained : •

Name of the company

•

Name of the client

•

Contact details

•

Estimated tariff of that particular company with specified complementary.

I coordinated the works of the executives by attending calls, checking mails and forwarding them to the respective department. Checking the occupancy of rooms and banquets through PMS software. I also learnt how to communicate with the clients, how to be hospitable to people.

PMS Software Computerized system which deals with guest bookings, online reservations, point of sale, telephone and other amenities. Some property management systems also include payroll, back office and accounts. A full featured, easy to use point of sale software package specifically designed for bars, clubs, and small restaurants. All of the tools you need at a price you can afford.

Welcome Environ Welcome Environ is ITC-Welcome group's vision for a green world. It's a multi-faceted programme started in order to propagate environmental causes in the cities where ITC-Welcome group's hotels are located. With the guiding principle of 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle', each

hotel has its own programme, encompassing local participation, creating awareness among employees and internal conservation.

ITC Green Centre The ITC Green Centre in Gurgaon, the headquarters of ITC's Hotels Business is the physical expression of this commitment to sustainability - Ecological, Social and Economic. This building is one of the world's largest green buildings with space of over 170,000 square feet and the first non-commercial complex in the country to be awarded the United States Green Building Council-Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's (USGBC-LEED) platinum rating the highest in the order.

At ITC Green Centre, energy consumption has been reduced significantly through design integration. The building has been designed to maximize the effect of natural light during daytime, largely eliminating the need for artificial ones. At the same time, the window glass, while allowing light inside, does not allow heat. This not only keeps the office cool from inside during the day, but also decreases the load on air-conditioners. Again, there is minimum exterior lighting to limit night sky pollution. The water consumption has dropped by 40 per cent and, with a water re-cycling plant, the building is now a zero water discharge building.

ITC Welcome group - Empowering Differently-able people ITC-Welcome group has established that if provided with an opportunity to work and become self-sufficient, people who are differently able can significantly contribute to the workplace, families and the community. ITC-Welcome group has taken a positive step in this direction by employing people who are differently able across its hotels. ITC-Welcome group believes that everyone should be treated with sensitivity and empathy. The models it has created have been effective and have succeeded in sensitizing other employees to the needs of those differently-

able. Keeping in mind their specific skills, over 100 differently able have been employed in diverse functions like housekeeping, teleworking, and bakery and as musicians. Special badges for the visually impaired, whistles for hearing impaired employees to use in an emergency and sign language classes for the staff to communicate with them are just a few examples of how ITC-Welcome group has created an atmosphere of sensitivity and caring.

ITC-Welcome group has also published a booklet aimed at sharing experiences with the rest of the corporate world and laying down a step-by-step guide to demystify the perceived complexities around employing persons with disabilities. .

The corporate office is situated in the modern satellite city of Gurgaon with the following Corporate structure : President General Manager - Finance General Manager - Operations General Manager - Sales & Marketing General Manager - Technical Head - Sales & Marketing Corporate Chef Corporate Manager - HR & Special Assignments Corporate House Keeper Corporate Revenue Manager Marketing Services Manager Corporate IT Manager Corporate Training Manager
