INTRODUCTION

GENERAL INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE SECTOR .

The telecom network in India is the fifth largest network in the world meeting up with

global standards. Presently, the Indian telecom industry is currently slated to an estimated

contribution of nearly 1% to India’s GDP.

The Indian Telecommunications network with 110.01 million connections is the fifth

largest in the world and the second largest among the emerging economies of

Asia.Today, it is the fastest growing market in the world and represents unique

opportunities for U.S. companies in the stagnant global scenario. The total subscriber

base, which has grown by 68% in 2011, is expected to reach 550 million in 2012.

According to Broadband Policy 2004, Government of India aims at 9 million broadband

connections and 28 million internet connections by 2011. The wireless subscriber base

has jumped from 53.69 million in 2012 to 62.57 million in FY 2010-2012. In the last 3

years, two out of every three new telephone subscribers were wireless subscribers.

Consequently, wireless now accounts for 74.6% of the total telephone subscriber base, as

compared to only 60% in 2010. Wireless subscriber growth is expected to bypass 5.5

million new subscribers per month by 2012.

The wireless technologies currently in use are Global System for Mobile Communications

(GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). There are primarily 9 GSM and 5

CDMA operators providing mobile services in 19 telecom circles and 4 metro cities,

covering 2000 towns across the country.

ORIGIN AND DEVELOVEMENT OF THE INDUSTRY

History of Indian Telecommunications:-

2003 First operational land lines were laid by the Government near Calcutta (seat of British

Power).

2004 Telephone service introduced in India.

2005 Merger with the postal system.

2006 Formation of Indian Radio Telegraph Company (IRT).

2007 Merger of ETC & IRT into the Indian Radio and Cable Communication Company

(IRCC).

2008 Nationalization of all foreign telecommunication companies to form the Posts,

Telephone and Telegraph (PTT), a monopoly run by the government’s Ministry of

Communication.

2009 Department of Telecommunications (DOT) Established, an exclusive provider of

Domestic and long distance service that would its own regulator (separate from postal

system).

2010 conversion of DOT into two wholly government – owned companies:

The Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) for International telecommunications and

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) for services in Metropolitan areas.

2011 Telecom Regulatory Authority of India created.

Cellular Services are launched in India. New National Telecom policy is adopted.

2012 DOT becomes a corporation, BSNL.

GROWTH AND PRESENT STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY

Yes, that’s true. Indian telecommunication Industry is one of the fastest growing telecom

market in the world. The mobile sector has grown from around 20 million subscribers in

10

2010 to reach 350 million by early 2012 registering an average growth of over

90% year over year. The two major reasons that have fuelled this growth are

low tariffs coupled with falling handset prices.

Surprisingly, CDMA market has increased it market share up to 30%, thanks to Reliance

Communication. However, across the globe, CDMA has been loosing out numbers to

popular GSM technology, contrary to the scenario in India.

The other reason that has tremendously helped the telecom Industry is the regulatory changes

and reforms that have been pushed for last 10 years by successive Indian governments.

According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) the rate of market expansion

would increase with further regulatory and structural reforms.

Even though the fixed line market share has been dropping consistently, the overall (fixed

and mobile) subscribers have risen to more than 300 million by first quarter of 2012.

The telecom reforms have allowed the foreign telecommunication companies to enter Indian

market which has still got huge potential. International telecom companies like Vodafone

have made entry into Indian market in a big way.

Currently the Indian Telecommunication market is valued at around

$100 billion (Rupees 400,000 crore). Two telecom players dominate

this market - Bharti Airtel with 27% market share and Reliance

Communication with 20% along with other players like BSNL

(Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) and AT&T.ne segment of the

market that has been puzzling is broadband Internet.

Despite the manner in which the countries Internet market has been booming, India’s move

into high-speed broadband Internet access has been distinctly slow.

11

And, while there appears to be considerable enthusiasm amongst the

population for the Internet itself, this has not been reflected in broadband subscription

numbers.

In 2006 India witnessed a good surge in broadband users with the total subscriber base in the

country expanding by almost 200% to just over 2 million by year’s end. Despite this surge,

broadband penetration in India still remains around only 0.2%; broadband services still

account for only 25% of the total Internet subscriber base, still in itself comparatively low.

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) is has very

aggressive plans to increase the pace of growth, targeting 450 million telephone subscribers

by end-2010 and 700 million by 2012. Most of the expansion in subscribers is set to occur in

rural India. India’s rural telephone density has been languishing at around1.9%;So, if 70% of

total population is rural, the scope for growth in this Industry is unprecedented.

FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

As per the latest reports, number of mobile subscribers in India has crossed the 250

Million marks. By April 2011, India is projected to become the second largest wireless

Market in the world

So, is it time to pop that bottle of champagne and celebrate?

Definitely. Second largest wireless market in the world -WOW!!! That’s indeed an

incredibly mind blowing statistic.But the celebration will probably be short-lived.

Why?

Because as the graph below shows, even though we are well on way to become the

world’s second largest mobile market, our average ARPU remains one of the lowest in

the world.

15

As per the latest performance reports from TRAI, all India blended ARPU for GSM at

the end of the latest quarter was Rs 261 while that for CDMA was Rs. 176 .

If you look at the stats over the past 9 months, they appear even bleaker. Over the past

9 months, ARPU has dropped 17.41% for GSM while it has dropped 10.20% for CDMA

. Minutes of Use (MOU) per subscriber has increased by a measly 2.2% over the past 9

months for GSM players while it dropped by 11.56% for CDMA players.

16

Here’s a chart highlighting the revenue breakup for GSM:

17

Here’s a chart indicating the revenue breakup for CDMA

players in India:-

This 9 month trend is more than likely to continue. Fierce competition to add new

subscribers will continue to drive down the ARPU further. Number portability will

only exacerbate the problem - operators will need to drop prices to keep the churn rate

at a minimum and stay competitive. Voice and rental revenues - the two biggest

contributors to the current ARPU, will continue to dwindle due to market pressures and

as the market matures. A  Operators will soon need to start looking for additional means

to offset the ARPU deficit. And most likely, its going to come from data services.

18

So, will 3G be the saving grace ?

Globally, operators have yielded huge revenue gains from 3G rollout. Almost all have

seen an uptick in data usage and in several cases (KDDI, DoCoMo, 3 UK, O2 UK etc.),

data services are contributing more than 30% to the overall ARPU.

Will a 3G rollout in India exhibit similar behavior? I’d definitely like to believe so.

But there are a number of challenges for 3G to be successful in India:

Clear revenue sharing guidelines between operator and content producers.

Currently, operators get a 60% chunk of the revenue, while the content owners

get about 25% and 15% goes to the copyright owner. This breakup seems to

unfairly skewed in favor of the operators. Seems like some progress is already

happening on this front.

High percentage of prepaid customers. About 90% of all GSM & CDMA

subscribers in India are prepaid customers. Prepaid customers are low usage

customers and contribute only 25-30% ARPU’s as compared to the post-pa

id segment (for GSM, post-paid customers contributed Rs 628 in ARPU while

pre-paid customers contributed only Rs 219. for CDMA, post-paid customers

contributed Rs 499 in ARPU while pre-paid customers contributed only Rs. 140).

As mentioned earlier, the introduction of number portability will further worsen the

Attrition scenario, since it’ll make easy for users to change operators and keep their

same number. Operators will have to devise means and offer plans to retain

subscribers and also convert some of the pre-paid customers to post-paid ones.

19

More choices for affordable, 3G capable handsets. While there exists a

subset of subscribers who would pay more for a premium phone,

affordability would be an issue for quite large section of the subscriber base.

Currently, only 5% of all handsets in India are 3G capable.

Copyright and piracy issues need to be addressed. The proposed amendments to the

Indian IT Act will most likely take care of this point.

Getting users out of the vice like grip of SMS will be a challenging task

In spite of all the hurdles, the challenges seem puny as compared to the benefits that India

stands to gain from the 3G deployment. Rollout of 3G will give the much needed bandwidth

that all stakeholders are hoping for. Without 3G (read high speed network), the clichéd term

“Mobile will be the Internet platform in India” will never become a reality.

Operators like Bharti Airtel seem to be raring to go - they’ve successfully tested 3G

services in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore and are waiting for the spectrum to be

allocated. Mobile users, of course, can hardly wait for 3G to go live in India.

Teleservices Maharashtra Ltd subsequent to the acquisition of 70.83%

equity shareholding by Tata Indicom in December 2002. The company’s shares are

traded on the Bombay stock exchange (BSE) and the national stock exchange (NSE).

Shareholder base of 2.9 million. The major companies in the group include Tata Steel,

Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Power, Tata Chemical, Tata Tea,

Indian Hotels And Tata Communication.

Tata Chemicals is the world’s second largest manufacturer of soda ash. Tata

communications is one of the world’s largest wholesale voice carriers. In tandem with the

increasing international footprint of its companies, the group is also gaining international

recognition. Brand finance, auk based consultancy firm recently valued the Tata brand at

US$ 11.4 billion and ranked it 57th amongst the top 100 brands in the world. The

combined development – related expenditure of the trusts and the companies amount to

around 4 percent of the group’s net profile.

Tata Teleservices is part of the INR Rs. 4, 51,543 Crore Tata Group that has over 80

companies, over 3, 30,000 employees and more than 3.2 million shareholders. With a

committed investment of INR 56,000 Crore (US$ 7.5 billion) in Telecom (FY 2012), the

Group has a formidable presence across the telecom value chain.

Tata Teleservices spearheads the Group’s presence in the telecom sector. Incorporated in

1996, Tata Teleservices was the first to launch CDMA mobile services in India with the

Andhra Pradesh circle.

Beginning with its acquisition of Hughes Telecom (India) Limited in December 2002

[now renamed Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Limited], which provides services in the

Mumbai and Rest of Maharashtra telecom circles, the company has swung into expansion

mode and currently has a pan-India state-of-the-art network.

26

Having pioneered the CDMA 2000 technology platform in India, Tata

Teleservices has established a 3G-ready robust and reliable telecom

infrastructure in partnership with Motorola, Ericsson and Lucent. The company has also

received the license from the Department of Telecommunications to launch GSM

services as well. With this launch set for early 2009, TTSL is on the threshold of

emerging as a true-play dual technology telecom operator.

MERGER of TTSL with NTT DOCOMO for come with the GSM

SERVICES :-

In November 2012, Tata Teleservices entered into an agreement with Japanese telecom

major NTT DOCOMO, as part of which the Japanese company acquired a 46% stake in

TTSL for USD 5.7 billion. The transaction marks a key step in the strategic evolution of

Tata Teleservices, as it moves towards a pan-India dual network presence. On a broader

level, the transaction is also expected to mark the beginning of a relationship of broader

co-operation between Tata companies and the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone

Corporation (NTT).

The potential benefits and synergies from the alliance with DOCOMO cut across

marketing, handset development and technical support, all of which are expected to

create new

opportunities for both companies. The alliance will also accelerate Tata Teleservices’

GSM plans and help the company penetrate the market with advanced technology and

new VAS offerings.

revenue slabs depending on the package. There are four packages to choose from: Shreya,

Shresta, Suvarna and Sampada.

The institutional model targets public utility services and major establishments, government

and corporate. The institutional business (IB) is aimed at giving a focused service to these

establishments. The ownership of the payphone and the equipment remains with Tata

Teleservices Limited. While the institution provides the space for the installation, the

operations remain the responsibility of PTBU.

SPECIFICATION ABOUT DATA CARDS:-

All you want to know about data cards?

Would you like to surf the net while lazying on the beach? Or even in the car, on your way

home? Get yourself a data card. It's a small card - slightly bigger than a credit card - with a

small antenna.

Insert it into your laptop and browse at length. And it's not just the Internet - you can also log

on to your office LAN or intranet and access your mails and other files. So, even while you're

travelling, you can stay in touch with the sales, MIS and other automation systems.

Of course, the card comes at a price. A Tata Indicom V card costs Rs 9,995, while an Airtel

card would set you back by Rs 12,999, which is an introductory offer. The Reliance [ Get

42

Quote ] card is now available for Rs 9,000. But, if you can persuade your boss

to pick up one for everyone in the office, it would cost you less.

And each of these card suppliers is happy receiving your money in instalments. While the

Airtel card can be picked up in 12 instalments of Rs 1,229 with a Citibank Credit card, EMIs

for the Indicom card are either Rs 1,995 or as low as an incredible Rs 295.

Now, what about speed - single most important feature to be scrutinised? Well, they may not

match the speed of your broadband connection at home, but they're not too bad either.

The companies claim that a peak speed of up to 100-150 kbps is possible and concede that

the average speed may be much lower. The average throughput one can get at any time is far

lower at 33-56 kbps.

Tariff plans offer variety. So, apart from standard packages (see table) you may opt for other

schemes as well. For instance, Tata Indicom has a six-month scheme priced at Rs 3,600 for

six GB, which allows you to use one GB every month.

This means the rate drops to 60 paise per MB from 70 paise per MB, if you pick up a

monthly scheme. The rate falls further, if you pick a yearly package.

43

Data cards also allow you to make a phone call. No, don't pick up your

cellphone, just plug the earphone into the PC and talk on.

Charges for these calls are according to the standard plans, and one can opt for value-added

services such as a caller-identification services.

If you don't want to talk but simply want to send a message, that's possible too. And you can

receive messages too. The charges for phone calls and SMSs are usually the same as you

would pay for your mobile phone.

One thing you must always remember to do: charge your laptop battery, and you can use the

card wherever you go. A Bharti spokesperson says the card can be used across the country if

the customer is logged on to the Airtel network. The card also works when you are roaming

internationally on GSM networks.

The Reliance team says the service is available in 3,700 cities and towns, wherever there is a

Reliance network. And this holds true for the Tata data card as well.

Comparison between Tata Indicom, Airtel and Reliance broadbands:-

These three companies mentioned above have been late entrants in the Indian broadband scene (compared to BSNL and VSNL) but have grown since then to become three significant players in the field. I will try to compare their services as per my experience.

RELIANCE : I had a reliance 600kbps connection a few months back.pros: very good connection. used to get perfect bandwidth most of the time. At night it even registeredspeeds like 80KB/s and never used to go below 60-65KB/s. Online video streaming was completely smooth.

cons: If something did go wrong they won’t respond to your complaints for days on end. Actually that was finally the reason I had to unsubscribe.

TATA :  Currently I have a TATA wimax connection at 384kbps.pros: there is a strong after sales services, if you have any problem with tata photon then you have to make a call a toll free number. @Arkid : I however had a TATA INDICOM connection and it worked absolutely brilliant. The only problem was when it got disconnected, their people donot respond that easily ( From Aundh,Pune)

cons: The speeds are pathetic. Sometimes during rush hours (read 7PM – 11PM) bandwidth falls below 10KB/s. We have complained repeatedly to no avail. Besides it disconnects at it’s own whim at all sorts of odd times. Imagine you have placed a large file for download and disconnects midway, or even worse at 95%.( from BTM layout Bangalore)

AIRTEL :  I haven’t had the opportunity to try it out personally. I have seen it at a friends place. My friend has an airtel    turbo connection, which provides 512kbps in the morning and 1mbps at night.pros: excellent connection. My friend gets nearly the entire promised bandwidth all the time, and the 1mbpsat night is really cool. best connection i have seen.

EXPERIENCES OF TRAINING

1. Student work profile(role and responsibilities):-

I am ANIMESH KUMAR PANDEY. I joined Tata Teleservices on 01st June 2009 after

interview process. I have been handed over as responsibilities on my shoulder to carry

forward data collection and analysis from different location I have worked under profile of

trainee. This particular profile is the live experience, how I deals to meet with different

client.. The basic functions we have performed under this profile are.

1. Data collection from different computer Retailers and distributors.

2. Promoting TATA Data cards(‘Photon’)

3. Awaring people about our new plans.

DESCRIPTION OF LIVE EXPERIENCE

I truly admit that Data Collection is not an easy job. When I go for data collection nobody

was ready to have me. I faced many problems in convincing other people. People behave

rudely.

When I tell about the Data Cards nobody was ready to spent too title time to have me. I mean

motivating to person change its financial recruitment from one channel to other one is not an

easy job.

An even goes more difficult when a client does not know anything about what is his need?

So I want to discuss which will be a exact experience at one time client was unaware of the

plans and other Tata products. I have tried and gradually have got success in explaining him

what finally he said that come on some other day. It means that effort what I did on trying

could not make you to carry cash as say that taking money from other pocket it’s not an easy

job.

73

I have worked as I have already told under profile trainee. I have gone through

with client as normal process. I think I have done justified work with my allotted profile and

collected for cases for just two months. I have even gone through with tough time period

with my willingness and attitude toward the work. I have gain success in selling many

connections. The target given to me was not so easy for any new comer in the market, in the

beginning I also realize that I will fail in achieving the target but with my sincerity and hard

work I have achieved my target. I not only achieved my target but also done some

appreciating job through making many people aware of the Tata Data Cards.

74

SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

SUMMARY OF LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Findings and suggestion given below are on the basis of survey done by trainee:-

75

Company should do advertisement in Hindi being the most effective

language in Indian scenario. In India, the Mother tongue is Hindi and

most of the people do not know English so the advertisements must be in Hindi.

Company should launch new schemes such as ‘Night Unlimited’scheme.

The schemes & compensation of retailer should be provided with utmost discipline.

Company should provide the trained engineers who can resolve PC problems.

TATA INDICOM have large number of retailers but it is not supporting and take care

all of them equally which results in increasing discontentment among all the retailers

because it is not possible for a company to support all of them equally. Company

should take some positive action against it.

Company’s executive should visit at retailers and distributers on regular basis.

They should pay proper attention towards checking of various components of pc

before end user delivery. Otherwise it tends towards defame of brand name in

comparison to rivals.

Need of customer care center as the consumer base of Tata Indicom is increasing with

tremendously fast pace

Proper attention should be paid for advertisement planning otherwise it may lead to

problem for distributer as well as company.

Company should tie up some event management company to organize various

promotional activities like canopy, carnivals ,retailers meet etc.

Company should make policy for fixed end user price for all retailers and distributers

so that fair game will be played and retailers and distributers not to compromise on

their margin.

OBSERVATION & RECOMMENDATION:

76

It is a group of 375 companies and it has been launched in India recently.

Working for Tata Indicom India Ltd. for two month is a big opportunity for

me. In the duration of two month, in this study it has been concluded that the Indian telecom

industry is very tough market in this telecom industry to survive is very difficult for new

company because there is already six giant companies are present.

As for as Tata Indicom India Ltd. is concern it is a very new company and it is difficult to

place its products and services to the retail outlet initially there was shortage of advertisement

by the company that result lack of awareness among public. But later, by introducing some

good scheme and advertisement, company is able to gain its position in the market. Company

would definitely acquire a good share of market in the coming future.
