Strategy
Shriram Transport needs to build a balance between short run cost savings and
protecting its core competitive advantage. Customers perceive Shriram Transport
products and services to deliver ‘value for money’ proposition plus a bit extra. In
its zest to gain more market share through competing on prices, Shriram Transport
should avoid cutting costs that can result in inferior product and service delivery.
Structure
The pandemic has questioned the current structure and supply chain management
of the company. To be more resilient organization and prepare itself for future
disruption of similar magnitudes Shriram Transport should focus on – diversifying
suppliers geographically so that climate related, geopolitical, and other disruptions
don’t impact the long term survival of the company.
Reduce the dependence on China – As the trade war between US and China is
getting aggressive, it should reduce its dependence on supply chain emerging out
of China. This will help the organization to diversify risks, avoid regulatory
problems etc.To achieve the above two goals – Shriram Transport needs to fine
tune its organization structure. It needs to have smaller teams, easy reporting to
the headquarters, and enabling teams to take decisions based on real time
developments.
Systems
Staff
Some of the steps Shriram Transport can take in to improve the human resources
are –Recruitment and remote onboarding – Because of the pandemic, a lot of
employees are working from remote locations. To make the environment more
inclusive for the new employees, Shriram Transport should build system for
remote onboarding such as – catalog of short videos, small groups interaction,
technical demonstrations.Open chats for the people to approach people at various
levels in the hierarchy. It will not only help the top management to directly
interact with the people below but also help in building an open and transparent
culture.
Skills
Shriram Transport can build a structured training and development program for
people working from remote locations.Shriram Transport can hire fresh talent as
more and more people are leaving their existing jobs because they are not
challenging them enough.
Style
The leadership styles required in the physical location and in remote scenario are
completely different. In a physical environment manager can stop by a chat,
provide inputs and go through the work. But in the remote locations employees
have to work in far more isolated environment. To improve the workflow –
leaders should pursue collaborative and inclusive form of leadership. Leaders
should build smaller teams as part of larger teams.
Shared Values
The organization has built a successful business model based on its core values,
vision and mission. It doesn’t have to change much in the shared values segment.
One area where it can focus more is – sustainability. Investors are putting a lot of
stress on Environmental, Societal, and Governance issues, so it can bring more
transparency by using the Triple Bottom Line concept in its ESG and financial
reporting
3.2. PORTER’S FIVE FORCE MODEL:
Threat of new entrants reflects how new market players impose threats to the
existing market players. If the industry will be profitable and barriers to enter the
industry will be low, it will attract more players and hence, the threat of new
entrants. will be high.
The Rivalry among existing firms shows the number of competitors that give
tough competition to the Shriram Transport Finance High rivalry shows Shriram
Transport Finance can face strong pressure from the rival firms, which can limit
each other’s growth potential. Profitability in such industries is low as firms adopt
aggressive targeting and pricing strategies against each other.
Bargaining power of suppliers in the Porter 5 force model reflects the pressure
exerted by suppliers on business organisations by adopting different tactics like
reducing the product availability, reducing the quality or increasing the prices.
When suppliers have strong bargaining power, it costs the buyers- (business
organisations). Moreover, high supplier bargaining power can increase the
competition in the industry and lower the profit and growth potential for Shriram
Transport Finance Similarly, weak supplier power can make the industry more
attractive due to high profitability and growth potential.
Bargaining power of buyers indicates the pressure that customers exert on the
business organisations to get high quality products at affordable prices with
excellent customer service. This force directly influences the Shriram Transport
Finance’s ability to accomplish the business objectives. Strong bargaining power
lowers profitability and makes the industry more competitive. Whereas, when
buyer power is weak, it makes the industry less competitive and increase the
profitability and growth opportunities for Shriram Transport Finance

which could impact its borrowing costs and profit margins.
Asset Quality and NPAs: Managing the quality of its loan portfolio and
addressing NPAs was a continuous challenge for the company.

agricultural finance, given India's predominantly agrarian economy and the
government's focus on rural development.

Interpretation: The ideal norm is 2:1; which means that every one
rupee of current liability is approximately covered by Two rupees of
current assets
Analysis: Current Ratio above 2 indicates that the company is not
utilizing the assets properly and less than means they are taking high
risk. The company is having current ratio around 1 for only one year and
less in the other two years indicating that the company is not meeting
the ideal norm as required.
Analysis: In the above Figure it can be seen that the firm has had a
downfall in its gross profit ratio in the 2nd year (F.Y 2020-21) compared
to the F.Y 2019-20, which indicates that the company is not producing
efficiently. But in the 3rd year the ratio has almost doubled indicating the
company’s efficiency to meet required production with low costs.
Analysis: The firm has faced a decline in its net profit ratio, but it can
be seen that it has gradually increased at a substantial rate. While in
the 2nd year the decline of nearly 60%, but it can be seen that it has
been retained by 50% in the post covid period.
Analysis: The company has had a substantial growth in its previous year
comparing to the performance in the other two years a s shown in
Figure. It suggests that fixed asset management is more efficient,
resulting in higher returns on asset investments. A high turnover
suggests that assets are being used effectively.
Analysis: While the increase in the operating cost and net sales can be
seen from 2019 to 2021, the increase in the operating ratio is 60% in
2020 from 2019, but had seen a downfall of nearly 10% in 2021
