meeting up with global standards. Presently, the Indian telecom industry is
currently slated to an estimated contribution of nearly 1% to India’s GDP.

(1) CONCEPT OF RELIANCE COMMUNICATION
His marketing strategy has made millions of Indians happy, they got the
best mobile tariffs in the world-local call costs at 15 paise/minute, and
STD call at 40 paise/minute
The reason was obvious: The telecom sector is growing faster than any other
segment and naturally their CEOs have a lot to crow about. The jury had to
select one from three CEOs, who had made it to the final list through
nominations from the industry and the initial scrutiny. Among the three, one
of the main contenders was a young CEO. The jury decided that he should
come back next year to try and win the coveted award. The list now had two
names-both CEOs of two well-known companies. The pivotal difference
between the two: one is an entrepreneur and the other is not so popular, as
his credit is shared among a number of his big daddies.

MTNL was set up on 1st April 1986 by the Government of India to upgrade the
quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, and introduce new
services and to raise revenue for telecom development needs of India’s key
metros – Delhi, the political capital, and Mumbai, the business capital. In the past
17 years, the company has taken rapid strides to emerge as India’s leading and
one of Asia’s largest telecom operating companies. The company has also been in
the forefront of technology induction by converting 100% of its telephone
exchange network into the state-of-the-art digital mode.
VSNL

On April 1, 1986, the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) - a wholly
Government owned corporation - was born as successor to OCS. The

profitable growth in recent years. it had over 17.5 million customers by the end of
June 2006.
IDEA
Indian regional operator IDEA Cellular Ltd. has a new ownership structure and
grand designs to become a national player, but in doing so is likely to become a
thorn in the side of Reliance Communications Ltd. IDEA operates in eight telecom
“circles,” or regions, in Western India, and has received additional GSM licenses
to expand its network into three circles in Eastern India -- the first phase of a
major expansion plan that it intends to fund through an IPO, according to parent
company Aditya Birla Group .

Corporate Governance
Organisations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth
on the support and goodwill of the communities of which they are an integral
part, and must pay back this generosity in every way they can...
This ethical standpoint, derived from the vision of our founder, lies at the heart of
the CSR philosophy of the Reliance – ADA Group.
While we strongly believe that our 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 part of a much larger compact which we have with our
entire body of stakeholders: From employees, customers and vendors to business
partners, eco-system, local communities, and society at large.
We evaluate and assess each critical business decision or choice from the point of
view of diverse stakeholder interest, driven by the need to minimise risk and to
pro-actively address long-term social, economic and environmental costs and
concerns.
For us, being socially responsible is not an occasional act of charity or that one-
time token financial contribution to the local school, hospital or environmental
NGO. It is an ongoing year-round commitment, which is integrated into the very
core of our business objectives and strategy.

telecommunications service provider, and HDFC Bank, the leading financial institution have
come together to offer Reliance mPay credit card with HDFC Bank. This is India's first
virtual credit card to Reliance Mobile users across India.

be issued and will be available to Reliance Mobile users who are using HDFC Bank credit cards.
The user can use their Reliance mPay credit card with HDFC Bank at any merchant
establishments that accept payment via Reliance mPay. The Bank will authenticate all the
information with RCom, which will be used to initiate and authorize all the payments using the

CHAPTER -3
RELIANCE
Social welfare and community development is at the core of Reliance’s Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) philosophy and continues to be a top priority for the Company. It revolves around the Company’s
deeply-held belief in the principle of symbiotic relationship with the local communities, recognizing that
business ultimately has a purpose - to serve human needs. Close and continuous interaction with the
people and communities in and around the manufacturing divisions has been the key focus while
striving to bring around qualitative changes and supporting the underprivileged.
Reliance’s contributions to the community are in the area of health, education, infrastructure
development (drinking water, improving village infrastructure, construction of schools etc.),
environment (effluent treatment, tree plantation, treatment of hazardous waste), relief and assistance
in the event of a natural disaster, and miscellaneous activities such as contribution to other social
development organizations etc. The Company’s CSR teams at all manufacturing divisions interact with
the neighbouring community on regular basis. The Company takes pride in the fact that its CSR
representatives are known by their first names in the regions that it operates.

manufacturing divisions and offices.
