Abstract:
Pizza Hut entered India in 1996 and introduced pizzas to the Indian customers. But it was not a smooth sail for the international giant. Its large dine-ins, high prices and positioning of pizza as meal put-off customers. Meanwhile. Dominos Pizza that entered India in the same year was able to gain ground by positioning Pizza as a snack and supporting it with its efficient home delivery system. Even homegrown pizza chains like Pizza Corner and Smokin Joe ate into Pizza Hut's market share.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To discuss how Pizza Hut, after initial set backs and loss of market share made amends and overcame its short comings
- To highlight the different strategies adopted by the pizza chains in India.
