MAXI Fair

File:MAXI Fair.jpg
MAXI Fair

Marketing Fair, or MAXI Fair as it is more popularly known, is one of the largest events in Jamshedpur and an ISO 9001-2000[18] certified tool for conducting market research and consumer behavior pioneered by XLRI.[19] The fair is organized, supervised and conducted by MAXI – the Marketing Association of XLRI. Born of the vision of one of XLRI’s most eminent professors Dr Sharad Sarin 1979,[20] the novel concept of the Marketing Fair is today an accredited marketing research tool. This brilliant and innovative method goes beyond the blind testing concept and uses a carnival milieu to conduct meaningful consumer behavior research. The underlying concept involves designing games and events as surrogates to actual research questions to elicit unbiased and accurate information from customers regarding their preferences and perceptions. The concept has received great acclaim both in India and abroad. Over the years, stalwarts such as Philip Kotler[21] of the Kellogg School of Management, Theodore Levitt[22] of the Harvard Business School and Dr. Philip Adler of the DuPree College of Management, among others, have all personally commended the unique concept.[23] The concept has been presented at several US universities and has met with great success. Several Indian Business schools such as IIM Ahmedabad,[24] IIM Lucknow[25] and MDI have adopted the idea and conduct variants of the original marketing fair idea. This innovative concept finds supporters and followers in the corporate world. Several Indian and Multinational corporate giants like Aditya Birla Group, Bata, Berger Paints, Cadbury, Citibank, Coca-Cola, Colgate Palmolive, Dabur, GSK, Hindustan Unilever, HSBC, ITC Limited, Marico, Nestle, P&G, Pepsi, Phillips, Reckitt Benckiser, SBI, Titan, UNICEF and Voltas[26] have presented research problems to XLRI for study.[27][28] Brooke Bond launched a tea pack in India using insights from MAXI Fair which has gone on to become a Rs 100 crore brand.[29] Nestle changed its business strategy in launching Nestea based on MAXI Fair results.[30] PepsiCo decided to implement packaging design changes based on research done at MAXI Fair.[31]
