INTRODUCTION
ABOUT INDUSTRY
World telecom industry is an uprising industry,proceeding towards a goal of
achieving two third of the worlds telecom connections. Over the past few years
information and communications technology has changed in a dramatic manner
and as a result of that world telecom industry is going to be a booming industry.
Substantial economic growth and mounting population enable the rapid growth
of this industry.
The leading telecom companies like Airtel, Idea, Reliance, Tata Docomo, BSNL,
MTNL, Vodafone are trying to take advantage of this growth. These companies
are working on telecommunication fields like broadband technologies,
EDGE(Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) technologies, LAN-WAN
inter networking, optical networking, voice over internet protocol, wireless data
service etc.
Economical aspect of telecommunication industry: World telecom industry is
taking a crucial part of world economy. The total revenue earned from this
industry is 10 percent of the gross world products and is aiming at attaining
more revenues. One statistical report reveals that approximately 35 percent of
the world population has access to the internet.
Present market scenario of world telecom industry: Over the last couple of
years, world telecommunication industry has been consolidating by allowing
private organizations the opportunities to run their businesses with the industry.
The Government monopolies are now being privatized and consequently
competition is developing. Among all the domestic and small business markets
are the hardest.
GLOBAL SCENARIO
Until the 1980s the world telecommunications systems had a simply
administrative structure. The United States telephone service was supplied by a
regulated monopoly, American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T). Telegraph
services was provided mainly by the Western Union Corporation. In almost all
other countries both services were the monopolies of government agencies
known as PTTs (for Post, Telephone and Telegraph). In the United States
beginning in 1983, AT&T agreed in a court settlement to divest itself of the local
operating companies that provided basic telephonic service. They remained
regulated local monopolies, grouped together into 8 regional companies.
AT&T now offers long distance service in competition with half a dozen major
and many minor competitors while retaining ownership of a subsidiary that
produces telephonic equipment, computers and other electronic devices. During
the same period Great Britains national telephone company was sold to private
investors as was Japans NTT telephone monopoly. For telegraphy and data
transmission, Western Union was joint by other major companies, while many
multinational firms formed their on telecommunication services that link offices
scattered throughout the world. New technology also brought continuing
changes in the providers of telecommunication.
Private companies such as Comsat in the United States were organized to
provide satellite communication links with in the country.
Around the world we are witnessing remarkable changes to the telecom
environment. After years of debate, structural separation is now taken place in
many parts of the world including Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore and
some European markets. Structural separation or at leastfull-blown operational
separation is required to advance the entire industry and to create new business
opportunities and innovations which will benefit our society, our economy and
ultimately our industry.
The focus is also shifting away from broadband to what it can actually achieve.
Next Generation Telecommunications better describes this new environment and
is essential for the emerging digital economy. Important services that depend on
NGT include tele health, e-education, e-business, digital media, e-government
and environmental applications such as smart utility meters.
In order to meet this burgeoning consumer demand for NGT applications, we are
seeing increasing investment in All-IP Next Generation Networks and fiber
networks. A proper inventory of national infrastructure assets is required if we
want to establish an efficient and economically viable national broadband
structure for these services. In the developing markets, Next Generations
Telecom will take the form of wireless NGNs (i.e, LTE/WiMAX).
These are some of the elements of the broader ICT revolution that is unfolding
before our very eyes. We are right in the midst of the transition from old
communication structures (mainly one-way streets) to new structures that
arefully-interactive and video-based. One of the drivers behind the industry
changes are the declining revenues experienced by the telcos in their traditional
markets. Over the past 10 years or so, fixed-line operators have been affected by
deregulation, a severe industry downturn, declining prices and major inroads by
mobile services. In addition, people are drifting to other forms of
communication, such as email, online chat, and mobile text messaging instead of
the traditional phone.
This has also led to an increased need for bandwidth, which in turn has revived
the submarine cable sector. In recent times there have been many cable build-out
announcements around the world, and some major systems are again being
constructed.
Over 25 systems are expected to be built over the next two to three yearsand
network upgrades are also on the agenda for some existing systems. It is clear
that the mobile industry is also undergoing profound changes. The saturated
developed markets are forcing the industry to find new revenue stream and we
are now seeing other organizations such as media companies, content providers,
Internet media companies and private equity companies becoming involved in
this market.
For the time being however, voice will remain the killer application for mobile
with some data services included as support services and niche market
services.
2015 it is expected that the majority of mobile revenues will come from data.
With the Internet economy, digital media and other telecommunication activities
becoming further established, the need for modern and efficient infrastructure is
becoming more critical.
INDIAN OVERVIEW
Today the Indian telecommunication network with over 375 Million subscribers
is second largest network in the world after China. India is also the fastest
growing telecom market in the world with an addition of 9- 10 million monthly
subscribers. The teledensity of the Country has increased from 33% in 2008 to
56% in December 2010, showing a stupendous annual growth of about 50%,
one of the highest in any sector of the Indian Economy.
The Department of Telecommunication has been able to provide state of the art
world-class infrastructure at globally competitive tariffs and reduce the digital
divide by extending connectivity to the unconnected areas. India has emerged as
a major base for telecom industry worldwide.
Thus Indian telecom sector has come a long way in achieving its dream of
providing affordable and effective communication facilities to Indian citizens,
As a result common man today has access to this most needed facility. The
reform measures coupled with the proactive policies of the Department of
Telecommunications have resulted in an unprecedented growth of the telecom
sector.

ABOUT SUBJECT
Meaning of market
Market is the root word in the term marketing. The word market is derived
from the Latin word Marcatus. It means merchandise, trade or a place where
business is conducted. In ordinary language, the term market means a place
where goods are bought and sold. But market need not necessarily mean any
particular place. Todays it means any body of persons who are in intimate
business
relations
and
carry
on
extensive
transactions
in
any
commodity(Jevons).
A market is a group of potential customer for a particular product who are
willing and able to spend money or exchange other resources to satisfy their
wants. Market is the battlefield where the marketing battle takes place. In the
market there are customers who are willing and able to spend money to satisfy
their needs. There are competitors as well as restrictions at every turn like rocks
in a stormy sea.
The term market can be mathematically defined as follows: Market = People +
Purchasing power + Persuasion. Thus market consists of people with wants,
purchasing power and the willingness to utilize the purchasing power.
1. Product approach:
Under this approach, we study marketing problems of each commodity or
product separately. It deals with sources of supply, middlemen, demand potential
etc. of a specific product or commodity.
2. Functional approach:
This approach analyses different functions of marketing. These functions are
selling, buying, transport, warehousing, risk-bearing, market information etc.
3. Institutional approach:
The process of moving goods from producers to consumers involves the services
of many persons, and institutions like manufacturers, carriers, warehouses,
brokers, retailers, banks, insurance companies and so on. The institutional
approach stresses the importance if institutions and individuals who perform the
marketing functions.
4. Managerial approach:
This approach is of recent origin. In fact, this is a combination of the above said
approaches. This approach focuses on the managerial aspects of marketing. It is
based on the fact that marketing is purely a managerial function.
Importance of Marketing
The presence of marketing is everywhere. Marketing is a very much part of our
normal lives, wherever we live. Marketing is inevitable for the company,
government, society and the economy as a whole. It ensures growth of the
economy.
Marketing acts as a bridge between an organization and the outside world, its
markets and customers. It has built a bridge between the farms and factories
which has benefited both agriculture and industry and also society as a whole.
Without marketing the president cannot plan, the production manager cannot
manage, the purchasing agent cannot purchase, the chief financial officer cannot
budget and the engineer and designer cannot design. A writer has aptly remarked
that Nothing happens in our economy until somebody sells something.
Marketing is said to be the eyes and ears of a business organization. This is so
because marketing keeps the business in close contact with its economic,
political, social and technological environment and it informs the events that can
influence its activities as per the requirements of the market.
FACTORS INFLUENCING CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
Factors influencing consumer behaviour are reflected in motivation, perception,
learning, attitudes and personality of buyers. These are also known as the
psychological determinants of consumer behaviour.
A) Motivation
C) Learning:
Learning may be defined as the process by which individuals acquire the
purchase and consumption knowledge and experience, they apply to future
related behaviour. Marketers have applied the learning process to study the
effectiveness of adverting and use this to teach the consumers about their
products and also to develop brand loyalty.
D ) Attitudies
Attitudes are an overall evaluation that allow one to respond in a consistently
favorable or unfavorable manner with respect to a given object or alternative.
There are three components of attitude namely the cognitive component,
Characteristics of Services
1. Intangibility
2. Inseparability
3. Variability
1.Services cannot be seen like the physical product before they are purchased.
This can cause lack of confidence and uncertainty on part of the customers.
Important implications of Intangibility of services
There are no inventories of the services
Precise standardization of services is not possible
1. Inseparable
In contrast to physical goods which are sold away from the place of
manufacturing after sometime gap, services typically cannot be separated from
the creator or seller of the service.
2. Variability
Services are highly variable. While it is possible to offer consistency and
uniformity of products, a service is always unique.
For e.g. A teacher cannot reproduce the same lecture, a cook cannot make
exactly the same flavor in a dish.
CHAPTER 2
RESEARCH DESIGN
In this scenario, it is necessary to evaluate the different factors that influence the
subscriber. Statement of the problem has been summarized as customer behavior
as cellular providers and a market survey on reliance Subscribers.
may want to broaden their horizon. Overall scope of the study would be to
enhance the services to the subscribers in the city.
METHODOLOGY
Research simply means a search for facts answer to question and solutions to
problems. It is a purposive investigation. It is an organized inquiry. It seeks to
find explanations to unexplained phenomenon, to clarify the doubtful
propositions and to correct the misconceived facts.
SOURCES OF DATA
Data, facts, figures, other relevant material of past and present and surveying
are the basis for study and analysis. Without an analysis of factual data no
specific inferences can be drawn on the questions under study. Inferences based
on imagination or guesses cannot provide correct answer to research questions.
The relevance adequacy and reliability of data determine the quality of the
findings of a study. For the purpose of the present study, data from two sources
has been collected namely primary and secondary data.
Primary Data
Primary data is a source from which the researcher collects the data. It is a first
hand data, which is used directly for the analysis purposes. Primary data always
gives the researcher a fairer picture. In the present study primary data has been
collected using questionnaires. For the purpose of collecting the same, 100
respondents have been randomly selected.
Even the response of the respondents was taken into consideration. In this study,
primary data plays a vital role for analysis, interpretation, conclusion and
suggestions.
Secondary Data
Secondary data is the data which is collected and compiled for other purposes.
Secondary data also plays a key factor in providing various other information
which will influence the analysis. Few of the main sources of secondary data
include, business journals, magazines, internet and company reports etc.
SAMPLE DESIGN
A part of the population is known as sample. The process of drawing a sample
from a large population is called sampling. The type of sample design used is
simple random sampling. Simple random sampling gives every unit of the
population a known and
SAMPLE SIZE
The sample size for the survey is 100 respondents of which
65 are Existing Reliance Subscribers and
35 are New Reliance Subscribers.
TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES OF DATA COLLECTION
The following sampling techniques have been implemented:
Personal interviews
Approaching people personally and interviewing directly.
It is a face to face conversation between two or more persons
Questionnaires
Designing the questions in such a way that it covers various opinions, views
about Reliance subscribers at the present market conditions. The
questionnaire consisted of various types of questions say Open-ended
questionnaire, Close ended questions, Multiple-choice questions.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
For the purpose of the study the following assumptions have been made.
It has been assumed that the information given by the respondents are
authentic
and genuine.
The sources of the data are the basis, from which the actual required
information
can be extracted.
The sampling procedure adopted will help in choosing an appropriate
sample that truly represent that actual population
It has also been assumed that interview-questionnaire is more suitable
for collecting data for the present day.

GROWTH IN SEGMENTS
According to a Frost & Sullivan industry analyst, by 2012, fixed line revenues
are expected to touch US$ 12.2 billion while mobile revenues will reach US$
39.8 billion in India. Fixed line capex is projected to be US$ 3.2 billion, and
mobile capex is likely to touch US$ 9.4 billion. Further, according to a report by
Gartner Inc., India is likely to remain the worlds second largest wireless market
after China in terms of mobile connections. According to recent data released by
the COAI, Indian telecom operators added a total of 10.66 million wireless
subscribers in December 2011. Further, the total wireless subscriber base stood
at 346.89 million at the end of 2011. The overall cellular services revenue in
India is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18 per cent from 2008-2012 to exceed
US$ 37 billion. Cellular market penetration will rise to 60.7 per cent from 19.8
per cent in 2007.
However this figure does not include the number of subscribers added by
Reliance Telecom. In WiMax, India is slated to become the largest
WiMaxmarket in the Asia-Pacific by 2013. A recent study sees Indias
WiMaxsubscribers base hitting 14 million by 2013 and growing annually at
nearly 130 per cent. Investments in WiMax ventures are slated to top US$ 500
million in India, according to a report by US-based Research and consulting
firm, Strategic Analytics.
A report by market research firm IMRB stated that the mobile value-added
services(MVAS) industry was valued atUS$1.15 billion in June 2010, and is
expected to grow rapidly at 70 per cent to touch US$1.96 billion by June 2011.
Currently, MVAS in India accounts for 10 per cent of the operators revenue,
which is expected to reach 18 per cent by 2012. According to a study by
Stanford University and consulting firm BDA, the Indian MVAS is poised to
touch US$2.74 billion by 2012. Mobile advertising, which is an important VAS
segment, offers a great potential to become an important revenue source.
According to Venture Intelligence, there were nine deals worth US$ 41 million
in 2007 in the mobile VAS space, and till August 2008, seven deals worth US$
91 million had already been finalized. Presently, mobile VAS has a US$ 700
million market with a 20 per cent y-o-y growth, which is likely to touch US$ 3
billion by 2012.
The Late Dhirubhai Ambani dreamt of a digital India- an India where the
common man would have access to affordable means of information and
communication. Dhirubhai, who single-handedly built Indias largest private
sector company virtually from scratch, had stated as early as 1999:
The corporate visionary, the unmatched stratergist, the proud patriot, the leader
of men, the architect of Indias capital markets, the champion of shareholder
interest. But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of Indias
greatest wealth creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the scratch. Indias
largest private sector enterprise. When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business
venture, he had a seed capital of barely US$300(around Rs 14,000). Over the
next three and a half decades, he converted this fledging enterprise into aRs
60,000 core colossus-an achievement which earned Reliance a place on the
global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to do so.
Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the
ordinary shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out
of many of the initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the
worlds largest shareholder families.
Vision
We will leverage our strengths to execute complex global-scale projects to
facilitate leading-edge information and communication services affordable to all
individual consumers and business in India. We will offer unparalleled value to

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Organisations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth

primary obligation or duty as corporate entities is to our shareholders- we are
just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist in isolation; it is

CHAPTER -5
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND
CONCLUSION
FINDINGS
The company should emphasize more on the spreading the awareness for
their products because the level of awareness of their Fixed Wireless
Phone (FWP),Broadband, High Speed Data Card (HSDC )is very low.
The sales executives should play a major part in spreading awareness
because only 5% of the people came to know about the products through
sales executives.
The Reliance India Mobile( RIM) post paid has seen a major decline in its
users because of the tough competition given by the prepaid services.
Hence the company should now focus more on the internet services as
there is a huge market for them to cover.
Around 2/3 of the people are dissatisfied and majority of them reasons are
poor customer care service, billing errors and higher cost. So the company
should train their employees properly so that they have sufficient
knowledge about the products and the bills should be made more
transparent so that the customers could easily understand them.
A majority of the customers look for the price and after sales services
before choosing the products. So the company should plan accordingly to
increase their sales.
As seen from the survey results, more than 3/4 th of the population prefer
to buy a mobile based on GSM technology.
Half of the population interviewed rated either average or poor for the
network. So network can be improved by planning more towers in
different parts of the city where the company does not have the signals.
More than 3/4th of the population does not like the new schemes and
offers introduced by the company. So a proper survey should be
conducted and more attractive and useful schemes must be introduced.
The cost of the products is too high for the customer to buy them.
Moreover the major problem is that several packs are activated without
any prior intimation and their price is included in the bills later, which is
the major reason for dissatisfaction.
Around 2/3rd of the people gave average or poor ratings to the customer
care and said that their complaints are either not heard or they are dealt
very late.
The company should emphasize more on reducing the call rates and
introducing attractive value added services which would help them improve
their sales.
CONCLUSION
Now buying mobile is not a rich mans possession any more. The mobile
industry is on whopping high. With various technologies creeping in every day
you always are on the back seat to keep your self updated. With a major chunk
of the users being teenagers it makes the situation more dynamic and helps to
create a niche market in itself.
Looking at the industry trends in mobile segments, the growth is tremendous.
Various cellular providers try to be innovative in providing value added services
to the subscribers. If the demand is rising in same pace then it is for sure that the
subscriber base of the mobile users will definitely exceed the limit of the land
line subscribers.
This report helps in knowing the consumer behaviour of the Reliance
subscribers and what perception customers have about the brand RELIANCE
COMMUNICATION. With this report the company can capture its loop holes
or weaknesses and convert them in to their strengths and opportunities. From the
above study we come to a conclusion that in case of parameters of selection,
customer or the subscriber will first look at the network coverage, tariffs and
then other parameters. The Subscribers also expects the company to give in
detail information of the service they are availing.
An effective sales person has to be employed in order to influence the buyer
decision. The company should have exciting offers with the service they
provide. The basic necessity of a mobile for the subscribers is not well defined.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS
On the basis of extensive study and research, here are some recommendation
and suggestion which may help the company to market the product and service
more profitability and increase its share in the Telecom market.
PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES
The company should expand the budget allocation for promotional campaign in
center Bangalore. It has affected the sale service brand image of Reliance
especially in Bangalore. Low supports in promotion have lead to fluctuation in
sale.
ADVERTISING
Advertising should have a clear objective and message, which has not been
found in recent ads. Reliance is a faster growing provider service in each state.
Every offers and schemes they should show with proper message for benefit to
the customer. In busy life customer do not remember any offers and which
service we can provide the customer with. Therefore they should by force show
advertisement in growing market and among customer.
PERSUASIVE ADVERTISING
Now there is a need of persuasive advertising for Reliance service which can be
moved into the category of comparative advertising. It will help the company
to establish the superiority of its brand service through specific comparison of
one or more attributes and features.
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
The advertisement should show the companies expertise, experience and pride
in market the product service sale.
MEDIA
A combination of print ads and TV commercial do a better job. Local ads and
publicity should be given more stress. Hoardings, banners, wall painting should
be promoted, as some expenses are also beard by dealers. Ads on cable network
result greater audience attention. Schemes, gift, offers etc. must be highlighted
through radio and local newspapers.
