10MARKETING MANAGEMENT
Indian flavors of food. This will make a huge appeal to all the people who belong to the teen age
or the age group 15 to 20 years and beyond. In this modern 21st century people are often very

for the food products that are offered by the company Shahi India. One of the good customer

products and energy drinks (Jia, Wang and Xiong 2017).They will find the company Shahi
India very helpful for them as they can get a wide variety of tasty and healthy fruit juices in the

biscuits and other such Indian flavored goods.

behavior through the behavioral or the psychic pattern of the customers. This is mainly because

mainly because of the fact that this market is trying to appeal to the people who team to get a
good and satisfying taste of the Indian products even when in out of India. As far as the name
suggests, the Shahi India market is trying its level best to satisfy the demands for the customers
who are living in abroad that is in Australia but are in the dire need for the products. In other
words, they are tired of tasting the some and the reheated products. It is for this reason that they

be maintained by the company. The company Shahi India has to keep in mind that they are to
abide by all the rules and regulations that are made by the Australian Government. This is mainly
because of the fact that in order to survive in this long run the company Shahi India has to work

all the rules and laws of the country where they are trying to prosper. They need to take into

field. This is mainly because of the fact that there are many changes taking place in the economic
sphere of Australia (Alawamleh, Ismail and Hammad 2017). As compared with the market the
