The agarbathi market that is highly fragmented is witnessing intense competition with the entry of ITC with the Mangaldeep brand. In a market like this, distribution is the key since customers tend to experiment with new fragrances and brands. Cycle wants to play the game of branding and with a high profile endorser like BigB, the brand stand a good chance of gaining more share of mind in the market.
