A field trip to Yakult Danone India Pvt. was organized for first-year MBA students on October 28, 2023. A group of 98 students had the opportunity to observe the company’s manufacturing, packaging, and marketing processes through a combination of presentations and a tour of the factory. This experience provided the students with valuable insights into the industry and helped foster a stronger connection between academia and the business world.
The factory tour consisted of three distinct parts: the initial segment covered the seeding process, the second segment showcased the bottle manufacturing and filling procedures, while the final segment focused on the packaging and labeling of the product.
Following the tour, students were treated to a detailed presentation that provided a comprehensive overview of the manufacturing process. This was followed by an interactive question-and-answer session. To keep the students refreshed and engaged during the doubt clarification segment, they were offered probiotic drinks and cookies. Many students displayed a strong curiosity about the company’s processes and raised numerous questions to clarify their uncertainties. Ms. Sadhana, the company representative, skillfully addressed and resolved all their inquiries.
