Burger King Success Story and Case Study –  A Short History of Burger King  

The world’s one of the leading hamburger chain was founded in 1953. The company has been operating in over 70 countries and 90% are privately owned franchises. This executive summary demonstrates the brand value of Burger King and how the company has revolutionized itself over the years.

Despite the challenges and intense competition in the market, Burger King holds a strong position with the help of its successful marketing strategies. The tastes of its hamburgers are much better than McDonald’s but they are unable to make the brand perception as strong as Mcdonald’s globally. For Burger King, the move to merge with the Canadian market will bring out a potential hook for those millennials who love coffee and breakfast sandwiches.

How was Burger King founded?

The company began in 1953 as Insta-Burger King, a Jacksonville, Florida-based restaurant chain. After Insta-Burger King ran into financial difficulties in 1954, its two Miami-based franchisees, David Edgerton and James McLamore purchased the company and renamed it, Burger King.

The predecessor to what is now the international fast-food restaurant chain Burger King was founded in 1953 in Jacksonville, Florida, as Insta-Burger King. Inspired by the McDonald brothers’ original store location in San Bernardino, California, the founders and owners, Keith J. Kramer and his wife’s uncle Matthew Burns, began searching for a concept. After purchasing the rights to two pieces of equipment called “Insta” machines, the two opened their first stores around a cooking device known as the Insta-Broiler. (more…)

About Founder

Qimat Rai Gupta quit his job teaching in a school in Punjab, and came to Delhi in 1958 with Rs 10,000 in hand. He started an electrical goods trading company in the old part of the city, but the market was too small for his ambitions.

He spotted an opportunity in the distressed Havells brand, named after its founder, Haveli Ram Gupta. He bought it for around Rs 7 lakh in 1971, and followed up with a series of acquisitions, joint ventures and entry into new product categories.

Today, Havells India Ltd is a Rs 7,248-crore company. The journey hasn’t always been smooth, but the roughest patch was easily the 2007 acquisition of German lighting and fixtures maker SLI Lighting, owner of the Sylvania brand.

Coca-Cola is everywhere.

In 1977, Coca-Cola had exited India (apparently because it refused to share it’s secret syrup recipe with the government) and a huge cola void was waiting to be filled. Thums Up was launched by the Chauhan brothers Ramesh and Prakash at this critical juncture.

It introduced a bold new flavour that had a slightly orangy base and more fizz than the competitors. With the help of some innovative advertising, it easily staved off the local competition and had a humongous market share of 36% (of all colas) in 1993, the year Coca-Cola re-entered India (Pepsi at that time commanded 26%).

Coca-Cola made a very attractive bid for Thums Up (Rs. 186 crore or $62 million back then) and bought the brand from the Chauhans. Here’s where the twist comes. Instead of treating it’s number one brand like a prized stallion, Coca-Cola desperately tried a variety of tactics to kill Thums Up to pave its own way back into the Indian market. (more…)

Ola Cabs Business Strategy 

Currently both Uber and Ola cabs are following the strategy of expanding their operations and gaining customer base in various cities in India. The motive is to gain market share and achieve economies of scale all the while providing a delightful customer experience to gain trust. They are not looking to be profitable but to be a household name in Taxi service in India.




All the discounts/ referrals/ coupons offered are aimed at exposing the customers to a “new mode” of transport in cities at affordable prices.
(Ola pays driver per km more than it charges the user while commission is a mere ₹100 only if driver makes more than ₹2000 a day, otherwise it pays them the difference so they at least earn ₹2000 daily.)
This kind of strategy is followed by many startups in their initial years, when they are still gaining traction with help from outside investors until they break even and become profitable by gaining a faithful customer base in the market. (more…)
