owned incumbent BSNL, which is also the 7th largest telecom
company in world in terms of number of subscribers.BSNL was
created by corporation of the erstwhile DTS (Department of

RELIANCE INFOCOMM OVERVIEW
Reliance Infocomm is an Indian telecommunications company, and is the
brainchild of Mukesh Ambani, CMD, and Reliance Industries. It is the flagship
company of the Reliance - Anil Dhirubhai ambani Group, comprising the
power Reliance Energy, financial services Reliance Capital, telecom and
noncom initiatives of the Reliance Group. Reliance Infocomm is the outcome
of late Dhirubhai Ambani's dream of bringing about a digital revolution in India
that will bring to every Indian's doorstep an affordable means of information
and communication.
"Make the tools of infocomm available to people at an affordable cost. They
will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility", was how
Dhirubhai, as the was fondly called, spelt out Reliance Infocomm's mission in
late 1999. He firmly believed the country could use information and
communications technology to overcome its backwardness and
underdevelopment.
It was with this belief that Reliance Infocomm began laying its 60,000 route
kilometers of pan-India fiber optic backbone in 1999. The backbone was
commissioned on December 28, 2002, Dhirubhai's 70th birth anniversary, first
since his sad demise on July 6, 2002.
Reliance Infocomm's network is a high capacity, integrated (wireless and wire
line), and convergent (voice, date an video) digital network. The network is
designed to offer services that span the entire Infocomm value chain
infrastructure, services, both for enterprises and individuals, applications, and
consulting. The network is designed to deliver services and applications that
will change the way we Indians live. It will harbinger a New India.
Reliance Infocomm's embodies the philosophy of the company's founder by
incorporating technology in a big way. The late Dhirubhai Ambani, the
respected founder of the $16.8 billion Reliance Group, summed up his
13
corporate philosophy in the way: "Think big. Think fast. Think ahead." The
network operations center at the company's Headquarters in Navi Mumbai,
India certainly lives up to this philosophy.
The network operations center, or NOC, is under the purview of Reliance
infocomm a member of the Reliance Group which also includes exploration
and production of oil and gas, refining and marketing petrochemicals
(polyester, polymers and intermediates), textiles, financial services, insurance
and power. Reliance Infocomm offers a range of telecom services. Including
broadband, national and international long-distance services, wireless and
data services. Reliance Infocomm is located on the new 140 acre Dhirubhai
Ambani Knowledge City campus in Navi Mumbai; the company has 2.2 million
square feet of space there.
Mr. Ambani believed that technology was the way to "transform every home,
empower every Indian, remove the roadblocks to opportunity and demolish
the barriers that divide our society." A technologically advanced India would
be a more equal India.
To help accomplish this, Reliance Infocomm designed and implemented a
data and communications network consisting of 60000 kilometers of Fiber
optic cabling that is arranged in rings around India. These cables can carry
terabits of data per second and can instantly connect one part of the country
with another. The company commercially launched its mobility services,
Reliance India Mobile, in 111 cities late in May, 2003 and will soon reach 693
cities. It is important to keep these rings of connectivity" up and functional to
maintain business and residential delivery status. Reliance Infocomm is one
of the major players in the rapidly growing Indian wireless market, as well as
an emerging leader among CDMA operators worldwide.
14
The Reliance Group wanted a central location in which to monitor the security
aspect of their widely distributed operation. The company maintains
approximately 4,000 CCTV cameras that are trained on their offices telecom
switch centers, distribution points, and other locations throughout India.
The world-class national security control room is the central monitoring space.
It includes a BARCO video wall consisting of ten 67 inch video cubes and IP-
based remote video monitoring. The room provides space for 15 operators
who sit at consoles that include a workstation, dedicated video monitor and a
hands free phone to talk to those at other locations.
Reliance Infocomm (RIC) is India's largest mobile service provide with over 7
million customers Reliance Infocomm has established a pan-India, high
capacity, integrated (wireless and wire line) and convergent (voice, data and
video) digital network, to offer services spanning the entire Infocomm value
chain infrastructure, services for enterprises and individuals, applications and
consulting.
Reliance Noncom has to offer telecomm services in 20 circles under the
Unified Access license. In addition, it has received the letter of Intent for the J
& K circle This has enabled RIC to offer services across the length and
breadth of India's vast geography through its next generation fiber optic
network backbone a panning 60,000 kms. Route. RIC commercially
launched its services in May 2003 arid within the first 7 months emerged as
India's largest mobile service operator. Most of it was in the post paid
segment as RIC launched its pre-paid services only in February 2004. Within
this period Reliance India Mobile emerged as the most trusted telecom brand
in the country. Reliance offered for the first time in India high-speed mobile
15
data services through its R-world mobile portal. This portal leverages the high
speed data capability of the next generation CDMALX network. It gives 70
applications like games. T.V., movie clips, etc. second phase of the
Infocomm saw the Broadband revolution by providing 100 mbps Ethernet links
and services.
The revolution helps in making transactions full of economic opportunities and
efficient functions. This service has been extended to cover 200 towns and
includes POTS (Plain Old Telephone Lines). Leased lines, Virtual private
sector, Video phone etc. RIC will also launch a consumer convergence
revolution by providing high speed Ethernet links to homes. This revolution is
called as 'Net way' with a range of television channels, high speed telephony
audio conferencing, and video conference Juke box, time shifted T.V. etc. All
content and interfaces will be enabled to cater to India's diverse language.

importantly, a great future for our country, to give millions of young India's the

The Reliance Apex conveys the spirit of excellence, the urge for progress, the
human desire to reach higher, & the resolve to shape a better future. The
apex is the highest point, the pinnacle, and an abiding symbol of hope and
optimism, achievement and success." the two arrow pointing upwards are
propelling us into the future, was the thought behind the design because their
group's mission is to accelerate to a higher quality of living. The blue color in
the Reliance apex represents inner strength, set belief, quite confidence and
the colour represents the energy & dynamism that propels one to the pinnacle
of one's ambition. The Reliance Logo is the combination of upper & lower
case character. This represents openness, inclusiveness, & accessibility.
Reliance is one of the most trusted brands I the country, and n order to have a
balance of customer centricity, warmth, human touch, and accessibility as an

represent this openness, their inclusiveness & accessibility without
compromising on their stature & leadership stand. The new LOGO gives the
Multi dimensional look to the group. This Multi dimensional look conveys the
deepest appreciation for the rich diversity of human life and aspiration the
unifying basis for the varied business interest. When the consumer sees our
identify, the message they'd get is that it is a lot more fresh & confident & may
be little unconventional. It will tell them about the group moving ahead, being

CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING
Under the ownership structure resulting from the demerger and
vesting, RCVL did not own a majority stake in any of its principal operating
companies. This legacy structure, arising from the period prior to the
reorganization of the reliance group, had significant drawbacks. As previously
announced ,on March 12,2006 the board of RCVL approved a reorganization
whereby RIC will be merged fully with RCVL and BECOME an operating
division, RCIL,RTL and FLAG with RCVL and become an operating division,
RCIL, RTL and FLAG Telecom, will become wholly owned direct subsidiaries
of RCVL. The reorganization will be effected by way of an exchange of shares
under a scheme of arrangement and does not involve any cash transactions.
The merger formalities are currently underway and are expected to be
completed by the end of the third quarter of the current financial year.

interested in the product because product is fulfilling the customer’s need and
its requirements they know the every thing of the product.

about the product these customers are little confused before buying the
product or they decided to purchase the product.
COLD

not requirement or they have requirements but could not buy because of the
product high cost.

It means that the company purchases the reliance Wire Line Service. (It
means that its company paid) company purchase the Reliance Wire Line
for his employees.
PROSUMER CUSTOMER

customer.

launched by RELIANCE called “RELIANCE WIRE LINE AND
BUSINESS BROADBAND SOLUTION”.

64
SWOT ANALYSIS
Here is the swot analysis of the Reliance, which presents the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced by the company. The strengths and weaknesses are found with the help of strategic Advantage Profit of the company. It studies the external environment of the company thus, studies the following areas i.e. finance, H.R., marketing, production, and R & D. Opportunities and threats opportunity profile (ETOP). ETOP studies the external environment of the company, which is economy, legal, market supplier and technical & regulatory.
STRENTHS
Connectivity of reliance phones is best among all the services providers.
Reliance gives main competition due to its cheap rates which most of the people can afford.
Enjoy a high degree of brand awareness also commands a fair amount of brand loyalty among the consumers.
Latest CDMA technology. 24 hr. internet access service. The management of the co. consists of highly qualified persons. Good research and development facilities. Strong financial backup.
WEAKNESSES
Reliance mobile connections are still not able to reach to interiors and many small places.
Less choice with the handsets. There are too many schemes present in the market that create
confusion among the consumers.
65
OPPORTUNITIES
Vast untapped market: Villages and small towns offer a great opportunity to explore and take a lead in these areas.
Non-Users: Non – users of mobile phones must be sought as potential customers. They can be encouraged to use Reliance mobiles by offering them low cost schemes.
Due to low tariff structure, there lies a huge market for the Reliance. High advertisement can create more demand for the reliance mobiles.
THREATS
Government controlled Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) offers tough competition due to its reach.
Well established competitors such as HUTCH, AIRTEL, TATA INDICOMM and threats from new & regional service providers.
Threats from governmental policies and the new technology adopted by the competitors.
66
RECOMMENDATION
BOOSTING DEMAND
Focus on the marketing effort o on selected regions and services. The largest
and most lucrative market for service would be identified and specific services
to this region will be marked.
CREATES MARKET
Dose not prepare a perfect service for its target market, rather provide
services platforms on which each customer customizes the features he or she
desire in the mobile service for example some body wants service in which
he/she talk free Reliance to Reliance somebody wants only incoming, some
body are heavy user; some body wants corporate plan etc. So that Reliance
becomes relentless in the focus. It must listen customers find ways to fill their
needs and continually seek feedback on how well it is satisfying those needs.
Reliance have to find stated needs and fill it and look ahead into what needs
customer may have in the near future discover and produces solutions
customer did not ask for but to which they enthusiastically respond. Reliance
must go beyond just consumer what they want so that reliance become
market driving firm, not just market driven firm.
67
Build credibility with customers through
partnership
To overcome the hurdle of credibility with potential customer ,partnership
have to be built with well established service provider in that market so as to
leverage partner’s customer’s relationships to create our client base and
establish brand equity .
AWARENESS
Reliance Business enterprises solution service has scope of knowledge only
15% on an average population of India which is comparatively low.
AVAILABILITY IN ALL LOCATION IN
KANPUR
Distribution of reliance wire line service in hands people will be difficult
because its unavailability in few areas in Kanpur (India).
LOW TARIFF RATE FOR CORPORATE
SECTOR
It must be low call rates for our corporate customer and individual customer.
68
SOME FORMAL STEPS SHOULD BE
TAKEN
There should be a department to collect feedback and follow up of
Reliance Wire Line and Broadband Services.
There should be wide publicity about the newly launched service as
most corporate are unaware about the Reliance Business Broadband
Solution.
To improve in network
To improve in the after sales service
To improve our billing service
69
CONCLUSION
I conclude that the Reliance Wire Line service is very unique service in India.
This service specially designed for the corporate people to link with the office
as well as personal emails and it also helps to the regular phone.
But some are there for example cost, billing, and range of Reliance
network these problems are followed to the customer.
Also I concluded that the customer behaviors is only focus on the time
saving, money saving, brand of the cellular company, customer service
and the regularly follow up by the company.
This all point are very important to the customer point of view and
company view and also for the future of the Reliance Wire line and
Broadband solution service.
Company must be cut off the price of the service.
