INTRODUCTION
A DREAM COME TRUE
The Late Dhirubhai Ambani dreamt of a digital India — an India where the common
man would have access to affordable means of information and communication.
Dhirubhai, who single-handedly built India’s largest private sector company virtually
from scratch, had stated as early as 1999: “Make the tools of information and
communication available to people at an affordable cost. They will overcome the
handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility.”
It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance
Infocomm) started laying 60,000 route kilometres of a pan-India fibre optic backbone.
This backbone was commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of
Dhirubhai’s 70th birthday, though sadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002.
Reliance Communications has a reliable, high-capacity, integrated (both wireless and
wireline) and convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. It is capable of
delivering a range of services spanning the entire infocomm (information and
communication) value chain, including infrastructure and services — for enterprises
as well as individuals, applications, and consulting.
Today, Reliance Communications is revolutionising the way India communicates and
networks, truly bringing about a new way of life.
10
INDIA ’S LEADING INTEGRATED TELECOM COMPANY
Reliance Communications is the flagship company of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani
Group (ADAG) of companies. Listed on the National Stock Exchange and the
Bombay Stock Exchange, it is India’s leading integrated telecommunication company
with over 80 million customers.
Our business encompasses a complete range of telecom services covering mobile and
fixed line telephony. It includes broadband, national and international long distance
services and data services along with an exhaustive range of value-added services and
applications. Our constant endeavour is to achieve customer delight by enhancing the
productivity of the enterprises and individuals we serve.
Reliance Mobile (formerly Reliance India Mobile), launched on 28 December 2002,
coinciding with the joyous occasion of the late Dhirubhai Ambani’s 70th birthday,
was among the initial initiatives of Reliance Communications. It marked the
auspicious beginning of Dhirubhai’s dream of ushering in a digital revolution in India.
Today, we can proudly claim that we were instrumental in harnessing the true power
of information and communication, by bestowing it in the hands of the common man
at affordable rates.
We endeavour to further extend our efforts beyond the traditional value chain by
developing and deploying complete telecom solutions for the entire spectrum of
society.

LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD
Reliance – 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
Infrastructure Limited).
Reliance – ADA Group’s flagship company, Reliance Communications, is India's
largest private sector information and communications company, with over 80 million
subscribers. It has established a pan-India, high-capacity, integrated (wireless and
wireline), convergent (voice, data and video) digital network, to offer services
spanning the entire infocomm value chain.
Other major group companies — Reliance Capital and Reliance Infrastructure — are
widely acknowledged as the market leaders in their respective areas of operation.

ABOUT SH. DHIRUBHAI AMBANI
Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their country’s economic
fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still have left
behind a legacy that is more enduring and timeless.
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 achievement
which earned Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian
private company to do so.
Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of India’s capital markets. In 1977, when
Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a
place patronised by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of
stocks.
Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-time retail
investors to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard-earned
money in the Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their trust,
substantial return on their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of
mutual respect and reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.
13
Under Dhirubhai’s extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of the
greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to
become India’s largest private sector enterprise.
Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary
shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the
initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the world’s largest
shareholder families.

VISION OF RELIANCE COMMUNICATION
VISION
“We will leverage our strengths to execute complex global-scale projects to facilitate
leading-edge information and communication services affordable to all individual
consumers and businesses in India.
We will offer unparalleled value to create customer delight and enhance business
productivity.
We will also generate value for our capabilities beyond Indian borders and enable
millions of India's knowledge workers to deliver their services globally.”
Reliance Communications is now among the three most valuable private sector
companies in India, and the five most valuable telecom companies in Asia. In the
current
Fiscal, Reliance Communications will spend Rs 16,000 crore to further expand and
strengthen its network coverage across India and the rest of the world.
In addition to organic growth, Reliance Communications will leverage the advantages
derived from this impressive financial platform to explore and pursue any significant
Opportunities available in the telecommunications sector. "We are currently
evaluating a number of inorganic opportunities in select international markets to
further expand our footprint," Ambani said.
Reliance Communication’s One India, One Tariff plan allowed millions to connect
across India at just one rupee a minute. The company was the first one to break the Rs
1,000 entry-barrier with the launch of the lowest-cost classic brand handset at Rs 777.
As per its expansion plan, Reliance Communications will have the single largest
wireless network in the world, covering over 900 mn Indians or more than 15% of the
global population. It will cover 23,000 towns or every single Indian habitation with a
population of over 1,000. Reliance Communications will cover almost 100% of all
18
rail routes, providing seamless voice, video, radio, and Internet connectivity to 14 mn
commuters every day. It will also cover almost 100% of all national highways, and
84% of all state highways, giving millions of users the power to talk, text, surf, play,
chat or simply stay in touch across nearly the entire length of India's 2,00,000-km-
long road network.
Having achieved tremendous growth, the main challenge for Reliance
Communications is to improve quality of service and ARPU. Its enterprise business is
also not in a position to compete with the global majors. Stock market valuations may
boost the fortunes of an entrepreneur, but Ambani needs to address the issues faced by
the growing mobile customer base, especially in India, where bureaucracy takes pride
in checking the businessman.
19
CORPORATE PROFILE
Organizations, 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 minimize 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.
Because we believe that there is no contradiction between doing well and doing right.
Indeed, doing right is a necessary condition for doing well.

feedback into account, in its periodic reviews of the guidelines to ensure their
continuing relevance, effectiveness and responsiveness to the needs of local and
international investors and other stakeholders.
The Code of Conduct(s) and Business Policies adopted by the Reliance Anil
Dhirubhai Ambani Group (RADAG) Companies are given here.
Values and Commitments
Introduction
Every significant management decision has ethical value dimensions. Managing
ethics is particularly relevant for RADAG Companies today because it is critical to
understand and manage highly diverse values in the workplace. Attention to business
ethics is critical during times of fundamental change – times much like those faced
now by businesses like ours. In times of such fundamental change, values that were
previously taken for granted are now strongly questioned. Many of these values are no
longer followed. Consequently, there is no clear compass to guide us through complex
dilemmas about what is right or wrong. To that end, RADAG Companies’ Values and
Commitments are presented here. These should be used to guide our actions in
business conduct.
22
Ethics and Values at RADAG Companies
Background
At RADAG Companies, the issue of ethics is simple: it is a simple process that
involves defining what is right or wrong, and then doing the right thing. Ethics
Management at RADAG Companies is about values and associated behaviors. It is a
process of defining values and ensuring that corporate and individual employee
behaviors epitomize those values. We at RADAG Companies believe that any
business conduct can be ethical only when it rests on the nine core values of Honesty,
Integrity, Respect, Fairness, Purposefulness, Trust, Responsibility, Citizenship and
Caring. Strong commitments to these high values have long been building principles
for RADAG Companies. These values are not to be lost sight of by anyone at
RADAG Companies under any circumstances irrespective of the goals that are
intended to be achieved. To us, means are as important as the ends. Though the deeper

at a personal level, and we always do what we think is right at all times. We say what

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
For any business to run one needs four M’s namely Man, Money, Machine and
Material. Managing other three resources other than men, are easy to handle. Men are
very difficult to handle because no two human beings are similar in all way. Human
beings can think, feel and give response. Handling humans is more important for any
business because human being have crucial potential that may be very profitable for
the business. And these potential can be developed to an unlimited extent if they are
provided with proper environment. So the function of managing men is as important
as finance or marketing function in any business.
HRM refers to practices and policies framed for the management of human resources
in an organization, including Recruiting, screening, rewarding and appraising.”
Human resources have at least two meanings depending on context. The original
usage derives from political economy and economics, where it was traditionally called
labor, one of three factors of production. The more common usage within
corporations and businesses refers to the individuals within the firm, and to the
portion of the firm's organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other
personnel issues. This article addresses both definitions.
The objective of Human Resources is to maximize the return on investment from
the organization's human capital.
32
THE SCOPE OF HRM is indeed very vast. All major activities in the working life
of a worker-from the time of his or her entry into the organization until he or she
leaves- come under the purview of HRM.
Specifically, the activities include are
HR Planning
Job analysis and design
Recruitment and selection
Orientation and placement
Training and development
Performance Appraisal and Job evaluation
Employee and executive remuneration
Employee Motivation
Employee Welfare
It is the responsibility of human resource managers to conduct these activities in an
effective, legal, fair, and consistent manner.
"Human resource management aims to improve the productive contribution of
individuals while simultaneously attempting to attain other societal and individual
employee objectives." Schwind, Das & Wagar (2005).
