SUMMARY
The Internet has grown tremendously during the past years. It radically changes
the way people live, work and consume .Growth of the Data Cards, Especially
happen when business travelers,academicians as well as other professionals
need to access emails and corporate applications as well as personal
requirements during urgent trips and travels.Now, what kind of a company
enters an industry with competitors already entrenched? Which ones actually
succeed? The answer to both the questions is Reliance Infocomm now known as
Reliance Communication. Reliance Infocomm is a confident and smart
company that was able to enter a saturated and highly competitive industry, and
emerge at the top. When Late Dhirubhai Ambani charted out the mission for
Reliance Infocomm in late 1999 he had a clear game plan to position itself on
the platform of affordable as well as world class information and
6
communication service highlighting unparalleled value to create customer
delight and enhance business productivity.
In my study I have conducted market survey on data cards and promote the
Reliance Netconnect in Allahabad . For this I had to go to different Retailers to
collect informations about data cards of various companies and tell them the
features,plans and other informations about Reliance Netconnect and I also go
to different customers of reliance netconnect to check their satisfaction level.
Similarly as a part of my schedule, I not only promote Reliance Netconnect but
also got a chance to meet different retailers and know what are the problems
they are facing and how we can solve their problems. I also analyzed the
Channel distribution and got to know how communication flow from retailer to
consumer. The whole task was manual and interactive, giving me a chance to
have a word with the customers.

CHAPTER -1
Introduction
Indian Telecom industry is one of the fastest growing telecom markets in the
World .Telecom in real sense means transfer of information between two or
more persons situated at distant places through radio electric signals.The
popular meaning of telecom always involve making dialogue through electric
signals with the help of electronic device.Now a days people have come more
accustomed to telecommunication facility in place of old postal system or any
other methods of exchange of communication.With its high population and
development potential India is having one of the fastest growing telecom
7
networks in the world.India’s public sector telecom company BSNL is the 7th
largest telecom company in the world . Reliance, Vodafone, Airtel, Idea ,Virgin
Mobile ,Tata indicom,Aircel,Uninor etc are other major operators in India .
8
In 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for private
investment as a part of Liberalisation-Privatization-Globalisation policy.
Therefore it become necessary to separate the Govt’s policy of DOT on October
01,2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.Many private operators
such as Reliance Idia mobile, Hutch, Airtel, Idea ,Tata indicom,BPL,Bharti etc
successfully entered the high potential Indian telecom market

CHAPTER -2
10
How many companies data cards are available in the Allahabad market ?What is
the image of Reliance Communication in Allahabad city? Whether the
customers are satisfied.Are they facing any problem in using Reliance data
cards and their problems being solved? There were several questions in my
mind before going for the survey.Infact this was not a simple job,as there were
some implications on the way.After considering each and every factor of the
survey,the objective of the survey can be highlighted as:
Beside these prior objective there were some other objectives such as to study
whether the retailers have full knowledge of prepaid and postpaid plans of
Reliance Netconnect or not?.Are they also selling the data cards of other
companies, if yes then what are the plans of others or what are the pitfalls?

Dhirubhai H. Ambani
As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the
true genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the
proud patriot, the leader of men, the architect of India’s capital markets, the
champion of shareholder interest. But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was
perhaps that of India’s greatest wealth creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting
from the proverbial scratch, India’s 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 fledgling enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossus—an
15
achievement which earned Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the
first ever Indian private company to do so.
Dhirubhai was clear that education alone can empower people.A great
communicator himself he communicated to inspire ,guide and
motivate.Dhirubhai knew the power of information and communication and
how it can be harnessed to achieve these goals and to make time and distance
irrelevant.Though rooted the traditional Indian values,Dhirubhai was a
quintessential man-a man of the New Millennium.This was reflected in his
passion for mega sized projects,state of the art technology and high
productivity.
Though the company's oil-related operations forms the core of its business, it
has diversified its operations in recent years. After severe differences between
16
the founder's two sons, Mukesh and Anil Ambani, the group was divided
between them in 2006.
Reliance communications ltd was incorporated on the 15th july,2004 under the
companies act 1956 under the name Reliance Infrastructure Developers Pvt ltd
with effect from 25th july 2005 the company was converted into a public limited
company and the word private was deleted from the name of the company.
Subsequently the name of Reliance Infrastructure Developers ltd was changed
to Reliance communication ventures ltd with effect from 3rd August 2005 and
further the name was changed to its present name i.e.Reliance Communication
ltd with effect from 7th june 2006.
17
Reliance Communications Limited founded by the late Shri. Dhirubhai H
Ambani (1932-2002) is the flagship company of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai
Ambani Group. It is India's foremost truly integrated telecommunications
service provider. With a customer base of over 36 million including close to one
million individual overseas retail customers, Reliance Communications ranks
among the top ten Asian Telecom companies. Its corporate clientele includes
600 Indian, 250 multinational corporations and over 200 global carriers and
owns and operates the world's largest next generation, IP enabled connectivity
infrastructure, comprising over 150,000 kilometers of fiber optic cable systems
in India, USA, Europe, Middle East and the Asia Pacific region.
Chairman’s profile-
18
capital markets. He spearheaded the country’s first forays into overseas capital
markets with international public offerings of global depositary receipts,
convertibles and bonds. Under his chairmanship, the constituent companies of
the Reliance ADA group have raised nearly US$ 3 billion from global financial
markets in a period of less than 15 months.
Following a five-hour closely held, hotly debated discussion, the name was
announced: Anil Dhirubhai Ambani, chairman of Reliance Communications.
Anil Ambani joined Reliance Industries (currently promoted by his brother
Mukesh Ambani, following their split) in 1983 as co-chief executive officer.
Forbes ranked him number 104 among the World's Richest People in 2006. The
Ambani family faced criticism when it announced its ambitious plans to build a
countrywide telecom network, as its prior expertise lay in commodities-textiles
19
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, an offshoot of the Reliance Group founded by
Shri Dhirubhai H Ambani (1932-2002), ranks among India’s top three private
sector business houses in terms of net worth. The group has business interests
that range from telecommunications (Reliance Communications Limited) to
financial services (Reliance Capital Ltd) and the generation and distribution of
power (Reliance Energy Ltd).

Introduction

Wireline broadband connections are yet to penetrate the vast semi-urban and
rural parts of the country where entrepreneurs, officials, students, etc have the
need to surf the Internet for various purposes. Though the laptop penetration in
these areas has not made a significant mark, desktop penetration is
comparatively more.With data cards offering convenient access to the Internet, a
number of companies have started to tie up with service providers to avail bulk
network connections for their employees on the go and allow them to utilize
their time during business travels. Since data cards can be used with desktop
also, it cuts down the office infrastructure costs as well. With the data card
segment witnessing steady growth, affordability will go up, which, in turn, will
drive growth. And growth of mobile telephony in India has created users with
specific needs like m-commerce that require wireless Internet, driving the
wireless data card growth.
Once the concept of mobile wallet and its applications hit the market in India
in the near future, the wireless data card segment is also expected to witness an
exponential growth.Apart from this, Internet charges in costly hotels are very
high. With the availability of data cards and USB modems, frequent business
travelers who stay in costly star hotels can access the Internet and corporate
applications on their laptops and avoid using the Internet facility at hotels,
saving on high Internet charges.

country. At present, there are many data cards, USB modems, and
Internetenabled mobile phones available in the Indian market.
In this already competitive market, it becomes essential for Internet data card
players to understand the different factors that affect people using the Internet
data card as a new wireless device for internet connection There are many
benefits that attract people to choose internet data card for access to the internet
as convenience, time saving, wireless connectivity and possibly affordable
however, many people are often hold back as fear of low speed, high usage
charges and using issues in relation to internet data card usage.
5th May 2010 was my first day of summer training in Reliance communications
Through him I got all the information about the Allahabad market and knew
that how they work and how increase the goodwill of Reliance Communication.
They give the regular information about current scheme & plan.Second day he

told me to conduct a market survey on data cards .The basic purpose behind the
market survey was to know how many companies data cards are available in the
Allahabad market and collect all the information about those data cards and
and meet different retailers and also visit the different companies outlet to
collect the information about data cards. For this I had to go to different
Retailers and find out the information about data cards of different
between telecom companies. All are providing better services for satisfaction of
the customer and good feed back of customers. Whether the customers of
Reliance Netconnect are satisfied or not?.Are they facing any problem in using
Reliance data cards and their problems being solved? There were several
questions in my mind before going for the survey.Infact this was not a simple
job,as there were some implications on the way.I have completed my project in

Phase III-
Promotion of Reliance netconnect data
card in Allahabad
80
Product promotion is a very complex process. Prior to doing any promotion,
you have to know your product, your competitors, and your target market.
Knowing these will enable you to determine the most appropriate marketing
81
plan. I think its also important that as well as showing that your product is up
to standard with the competition, you make it very obvious and exciting what
is different about your product A successful product or service means nothing
unless the benefit of such a service can be communicated clearly to the target
market. An organisations promotional strategy can consist of:
Sales are the lifeblood of a business, without sales there would be no business in
the first place; therefore it is very important that if a business wants to succeed,
it should have a sales promotion strategy in mind. The primary objective of a
sales promotion is to improve a company's sales by predicting and modifying
your target customer's purchasing behavior and patterns. Sales promotion is
very important as it not only helps to boost sales but it also helps a business to
draw new customers while at the same time retaining older ones.

and according to Mr. Asif sir it was the much appreciated work which was done
by me.
84
Sales promotions can be directed at the customer, sales staff, or distribution
channel members (such as retailers). Sales promotions targeted at the consumer
are called consumer sales promotions. Sales promotions targeted at retailers
and wholesale are called trade sales promotions. Some sale promotions,
particularly ones with unusual methods, are considered gimmick by many. I
have distributed the pamplates, door to door or company to company selling.
In the third phase of my training I have promoted the Reliance netconnect data
card through canopy.During the 7 days period of canopy we have to only
analyze the response of customer upon this offer. After that for the selling of
data card we have to provide this offer in the main location of city or in the
crowded area like opposite side of Big Bazaar, civil line etc, I got the target for
creating awareness about reliance data cards postpaid and prepaid plans and
generate prospects for Reliance data card.I got very good response from the
customer and I generate more than 40 prospects for data card in a single canopy.
That was also my good achievement and I knew how to sale and provide service
with product to customer

CHAPTER- 8
Suggestions
87
After completing my work of analyzing and creating customers for , Data
cards of Reliance communication I want to recommend some important
facts to the company about its products.
• Company should come with some good and effective plans to
make the customer satisfied.
• Company should move towards the good customer relations so
company should plan for the customer relationship management.
• Sales Executives are not getting proper guidance and support from
the seniors because of heavy workload on them so there is a need to
manage workload so managing manpower is also a big task to do.
• Majority of respondents complain about the after sales services
like billings, and interruption in the network so the quality of after sales
services should be improved.
• Customer care services are very poor company should improve
that part also.
• Device installation and registration on site should be easier to work
so that customers need not to give more papers at the time of purchasing
a new connection.
• Reliance Communication should make such strategies which suits
the company’s name and brand. Reliance Communication is already
having a good brand image.
