The Vanavil experience in Madurai
Alexis meets Maud and Julien

• They both created the first bakery at the DACA.
• They called it Vanavil, which means rainbow in
  tamul. It is a symbol for the link between India
  and France.

The first project

• Three trainers in baking came to the DACA thanks
  to Juliens contacts with the COSAME.
• Six teams of Collectif Indias volunteers ran the
  bakery.
• The first bakery project was a success.

Results

• The bakery created at the DACA still helps to
  feed the centres children with good quality,
  balanced food.
• This structure is self-financing. We decided to
  create the FBTC in Chennai on this model but on a
  different scale.

Schedule of the FBTC project

• The goal we want to reach is to be able to open
  the bakery as soon as July 1st 2006
• By then we have to find premises, to buy the
  machines, and to finish the teams training.
• Then Julien will take the lead in the bakery with
  the Indian team. The French team will hire two
  Indian sales representatives and start selling
  the products.

Results of our market study
Products to be sold

• They are usual products of French baking
• The production range is of course adapted to
  local habits, specialities and resources

Assets of our production

• The FBTC will guarantee the quality of all
  products in terms of food hygiene, appearance,
  taste,
• The continuous training of Indian apprentices in
  the bakery by the professionals of the COSAME
  will allow a growing qualification of the bakers
  and a great quality for the products.
• This quality is really an asset because the local
  market is desperately lacking. We want the bakery
  to be recognised on the local market for this
  asset.

Results of our market study
Profile of the FBTCs potential customers

• 75 of Indias economy is rural. Most Indians
  only eat rice out of habit and because of the
  production and climate. The French Bakery is
  targeting a more urban population.
• Chennai is the biggest city in the Tamil Nadu
  with 10 million inhabitants. As in most big
  Indian cities, a large middle class is emerging,
  developing the consumer society with new markets.
• This growing middle class enjoys going out for
  dinner, or buying sweets occasionally. Lots of
  sweets stalls are appearing, selling sweets,
  pastries and cakes, such as the successful
  Javaram bakery. Maud , Alexis and Julien
  visited this bakery which is now semi-industrial
  in its operating mode.
• Moreover, Chennai is a city with an extremely
  large upper class compared to other main cities
  in India.
• Therefore, we are targeting a large range of
  potential customers in Chennai, from
  middle-of-the-range to top class hotels and
  restaurants.

The targets for the bakerys products are upper
middle-class, tourist restaurants and hotels, as
well as luxury restaurants and hotels

What does supporting the project mean ?
Support the fight of the Dalits for their access
to education and knowledge

• The Dalits are fighting every day to have decent
  living conditions
• They want to escape this terrible social
  condition by themselves
• Training and a good job will help them to obtain
  real social status
