ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In this project report I have made an honest and dedicated attempt to make the research

material as authentic as it could. And I earnestly hope that it provides useful and

workable information and knowledge to any person reading it.

During this small time frame of two months in which the project reached its

completion, there were a few people whom I would like to make a mention of and

without whose help the project would have never seen the light of day.

I also thanks to my internal guide Prof. AshokChaudhary for his timely response via e-

mail & personal meeting, which immensely helped in giving the project the initial

direction it needed.

I would like to thanks my external guide Mr. Sandeep Singh (Circle Head) and Mr

Viraj Vinayak hardas (Area Sales Maneger) who gave me a free hand as far as going

about the project work concerned.

I dedicate this project to Dealers of Pune District who were extremely kind and who

at times went out of the way to help me. Without their co-operation it would have

perhaps not been possible to research a few places, which I did, within the stipulated

time frame.

EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

First and fore most, I would like to thanks VIDEOCON DTH+ for giving me an

opportunity to undertake the project MARKET ANALYSIS FOR VIDEOCON

d2h+.

I was given the task for market analysis in which I had to visit dealers, distributors and

tell then about new introducing product by VIDEOCON DTH+. The offered products

are IDTV, IDVD, IHT & DTH ITSELF.

As a management trainee my work was also to note down the problems, if that dealer is

selling Videocon company product. My main work was to promote /pitch the features

& facilities provide in to the products and convince them for sale the VIDEOCON

DTH+ product.

The uphill task was to find out the potential dealers who have interest for selling the

VIDEOCON DTH+ products as well as support for increase the selling. So that

company assume them for selling the DTH or as a future prospect for selling the DTH.

The company Videocon DTH+ is doing aggressive marketing research /analysis at the

launch timing so that they can get good response and business because more market

analysis give more accurate and quantitative result by which company take effective

decision for making the profitable business with satisfied customer.

The most interesting part in any summer internship, for a learner is, the application of

concepts, he has learned. Apart from being an interesting things, it is also the key

phenomena around which summer internship resolves. It also gives, a taste of pressure,the marketing manager has due to limitation of resources, especially financial in nature

.The only things which market research does not give an in-depth knowledge about is

Sales. Although selling skill is considered to be one of the prerequisite of a marketing

professional. Market Research does not give the taste of a hand core sales job. Thus it

can be very well said that, Market Research could be very good topic for Summer

Internship of a student.

In order to get the best of both, I decided to do project (Pan Pune) on Market Research

in Videocon DTH+ company.

ABOUT BBC:


19/61

19

BBCL is a new and separate company that has been floated for this purpose by theVideocon promoters. D2H+ is the brand name under which the service will be offered.We have already budgeted an investment of Rs 10 billion in this venture over the nexttwo years.

DTH in India, with players like Dish TV, Tata Sky, Reliance ADAG and Bharti, will bea low ARPU (average revenue per user), high volume game

It established for expand the DTH market and distribution network which will providethe pipeline for mop up to one million subscribers in the first year.

It also launching Mobile Handsets in India under the banner of BBCL (BharatBusiness Channel Limited) with brand name of Videocon with DTH service. DTHstands for Direct To Home which is a direct mode of transmission betweenBroadcaster and Subscriber through satellite.

DTH :


20/61

20

DTH stand for direct-to-home television. DTH is defined as the reception of satellite

programmes with a personal dish in an individual home. DTH does away with the need

for the local cable operators can receive satellite programmes and they then distribute

them

HOW DOES IT WORKS :

A DTH network consists of a broadcasting centre, satellites, encoders, multiplexers,

modulators and DTH receivers.

A DTH service provider has to lease ku-band transponders from the satellite. The

encoder converts the audio, video and data signals. At the user end, there will be a small

dish.

ABOUT DTH INDUSTRY:


21/61

21

In earlier days there was only one TV channel in India the Doordarshan channel

Doordarshon was owned and operate by government of India. In those era every home

which had a Tv set used to have its own antenna to capture the signals. The cable

television ordinance law was passed in January 1995. This enabled cable operators to

feed channels and later on private companies were allowed to air their own channels

and this led to the explosive growth in number of tv channels and number of cable

operators. The growth of Tv channels & cable operators created a big industry and

market opportunities.

Until few years back there were as many as 1.0 Lakh cable operators across India.

however the services provided by cable operators were poor. The strikes, increase in

tariff plan, selective broadcast and poor services were major cause of dissatisfaction

among the the customers. This has created an opportunity for DTH, which serves an

immediate threat to the high-end cable networks.

There is an immense opportunity for DTH in India an market. The opportunity in Indiaalmost 11 times that in developed countries like the US an Europe. For every channel

there is a scope for broadcasting it in at least ten different languages. So every channel

multiplied by ten, that is the kind of scope for DTH in the country.

CURRENT PLAYERS:

The current players in DTH industry are

1. DD-direct + of Prasar Bharti, comprising of 33 fta channels and 12 all India

Radio channels.

2. Dish TV of zee group.

3. Tata Sky- the joint venture between Tata and Rupert Murdochs sky TV.

A recently survey done using the Television Audience Measurement (TAM) puts DD-

Direct+ with 3.5 million homes and Tata sky capturing 1.0 million homes.

The following companies have either the liecence/latter of intent or applied for the

license to operate DTH services-

1. Sun direct of sun network.

2. Reliance blue magic from Reliance ADAG.

3. Bharti Telemedia.

STRUCTURE OF INDIAN DTH MARKET:


22/61

22

The structure of the DTH industry in India can be categorized as an oligopoly. The

word oligopoly is derived from the Greek for new sell. An oligopoly is a market from in

which a market or industry is dominated by small number of sellers. An OLIGOPOLY

is a market dominated by a few large suppliers. The degree of market concentration is

very high. Firms within an oligopoly produce branded product and there are also

barriers to entry.

The key characteristics of oligopoly market are following-

y Few larger supplier dominates the market.

y Independence between firms.

y Each firm produces branded products.

y Significance entry barriers into the market in the long run which

allows firms to make supernormal profites.

y Each industry oligopolist is aware of the actions of the others

LIMITATIONS

According to us there were so many limitations during project which were great hurdle

in the competition of project-


56/61

56

1- First limitation was that we were in first trimester so we were notequipped properly.

2- Time limitation was also there.3- We were not familiar to PUNE.4- Traveling was problem and due to Common Wealth Youth Games it became

more inconvenient.5- The people were not entertaining well.6- Many people unknown about VIDEOCON D2H+.7- Language was a great problem.

CONCLUSION

The price war has intensified in the direct-to-home (DTH) broadcasting space as the

number of players has increased. The first DTH player in the country, Dish TV (of the


57/61

57

Zee group), has slashed rates to an all-time low. It will now offer a `Happy Family Pack'

at Rs 1,990. At this entry point, you get a set-top box and 12 months of viewing for 125

channels spread over several genres, including 21 audio channels,

After a year, one can renew this pack and pay a monthly rental of Rs 100, around the

same that a cable TV subscriber pays, Meanwhile, the Maxi package announced byDish TV a few months ago continues. For this, you pay an entry price of Rs 3,990 in a

year to get around 200 channels. There's no extra cost for the set-top box. After a year,

the monthly rental is Rs 300.

Other players are not behind in the race either. DTH services of Tata Sky (a JV betweenthe Tata group and Star TV) and Mr. Anil Ambani-promoted Big TV are beingadvertised through mass SMSes, just the way real estate schemes and mutual funds are.

A recent SMS announced, "TataSky with 400 days of subscription at Rs 3,999. And BigTV with six months at Rs 2,490. Installation within 48 hours."

The trend suggests that DTH is where competition is, according to a source in theindustry. There are four private players and one state-owned platform already, and attwo more are waiting to join in. Currently, Dish TV has a market share of 54%, with 3.8million DTH subscribers, while TataSky has 2.2 million. Big TV, which launched itsDTH service recently, has not issued any subscriber numbers yet.

Sun TV also offers DTH but only in the south. Sun too has pan-India ambitions. Theother two planning to join the DTH race are Bharti and Videocon. According to a seniorofficial of Videocon, its launching DTH in October/November. Bharti, meanwhile, hasto get FIPB (Foreign Investment Promotion Board) approval before starting its DTHservice. It is believed that Bharti would start DTH around end of this year. Besidesthese, there's Prasar Bharati's free-to-air DTH platform as well. In all, there are around 6million DTH users in the country.

DTH is a satellite broadcasting system through a pizza-sized dish and a set-top box,which eliminates the neighborhood cable wallah. Of the 120-million TV households inIndia, only 70 million have cable connection. DTH is still in its infancy in India, andthere's sufficient room for growth. By the year 2015, 40% of the pay TV universe (cableTV and DTH) are likely to be DTH users,

WHAT I LEARNED IN THIS PROJECT:


58/61

58

y This was one experience where I met people from various walks of life, the

diverse ways of thinking (about the same thing), the volatile nature, their

perception of marketers, their ways of life all came forth and at the end of

the day you feel you can understand humans better but the next day you are

back to square one starting all over again.

y Theres one aspect that comes into play when you go out in the streets that is

going on cold calls, going and meeting people without appointments,

without any know hows. There are only two people who do it, one is the

man looking for jobs and the others marketers, and I feel we are more

despised. It requires lots of guts but has a bearing on you mettle, it develops

your soft skills and I do feel the change.

y I learned how to deal with customers on telephone, like how to start

communication, explain the business, satisfying his queries and fixing

appointments.

y Another important thing that I developed here was building a bond and

relationship with people.

y A great percentage of hesitation within me evaporated while interacting

with the senior personnel of the corporate.

y During training I learnt about the corporate meetings, seminars, training and

what material a marketing personnel should keep with him.

y Learned about the management, planning, punctuality and the benefits of

regular following of client and maintaining dairy.

y I have learned from this project what is DTH & how DTH work & howVideocon D2T is better from other .How much facility in Videocon D2T .
