METHODOLOGY
The branch of philosophy that analyzes the principal and procedures of inquiry in a particular discipline. Also the method applied to collect the required information from the company.
Primary Data:
Primary Datas are first hand data those which are collected from the direct source. Here datas are collected by meeting the officials personally. This method of collection of data is very helpful as because we can know about the internal matter and also be able to get different answers as the mentality of person varies.
Secondary Data:
Secondary Datas are the second hand data which are usually taken or collected from the existing records. Datas collected from secondary sources are like companys record of work, companys web sites, reference texts, the documents of the company. The purpose behind the collection of the datas is to know about the past position of the company and the feedback of the customers towards the company and also the product of the company.

Industry profile Meaning and Definition of Telecommunication

Telecommunications, also called telecommunication, is the exchange of information over significant distances by electronic means. A complete, single telecommunications circuit consists of two stations, each equipped with a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter and receiver at any station may be electrical combined into a single device called transceiver. The medium of signal transmission can be electrical wire or cable ( also known as copper ), optical fibre or electromagnetic fields. The free-space transmission and reception of data by means of electromagnetic fields is called wireless. The simplest form of telecommunications takes place between two stations. However, it is common for multiple transmitting and receiving stations to exchange data among themselves. Such an arrangement is called
telecommunications network. The Internet is the largest example. On a smaller scale, example include: Telephone networks, Corporate and academic wide-area networks(WANs), Police and fire communication system.
HISTORY OF TELECOMMUNICATION:
The history of telecommunication began with the use of smoke
signals and drums in Africa, the Americas and parts of Asia. In the 1790s the first fixed semaphore systems emerged in Europe; however it was not until the 1830s that electrical telecommunication systems started to appear. This article details the history of telecommunication and the individuals who helped make
EWCM/SDG/DD Page 7

telecommunication systems what they are today. The history of
telecommunication is an important part of the larger history of communication. Now let us see how the telecommunication has improved from the olden days of smoke signals and drums to the new changing technology of fast internet and mobile phones.
Early Telecommunication:
Early telecommunications included smoke signals and drums. Drums were used by natives in Africa, New Guinea and South America, and smoke signals in North America and China. Contrary to what one might think, these systems were often used to do more than merely announce the presence of a camp. In 1792, a French engineer, Claude Chappe built the first visual telegraphy (or semaphore) system between Lille and Paris. This was followed by a line from Strasbourg to Paris. In 1794, a Swedish engineer, Abraham
Edelcrantz built a quite different system from Stockholm to Drottningholm. As opposed to Chappe's system which involved pulleys rotating beams of wood, Edelcrantz's system relied only upon shutters and was therefore faster. However semaphore as a communication system suffered from the need for skilled operators and expensive towers often at intervals of only ten to thirty kilometres (six to nineteen miles). As a result, the last commercial line was abandoned in 1880.

Telegraph and Telephone:

A very early experiment in electrical telegraphy was an 'electrochemical' telegraph created by the German physician, anatomist and inventor Samuel Thomas von Smmering in 1809, based on an earlier, less robust design of 1804 by Catalan polymath and scientist Francisco Salv i Campillo. Both their designs employed multiple wires (up to 35) in order to visually represent almost all Latin letters and numerals. Thus, messages could be conveyed electrically up to a few kilometres (in von Smmering's design), with each of the telegraph receiver's wires immersed in a separate glass tube of acid. The first commercial electrical telegraph was constructed in England by Sir Charles Wheatstone and Sir William Fothergill Cooke. It used the deflection of needles to represent messages and started operating over twenty-one kilometres (thirteen miles) of the Great Western Railway on 9 April 1839. Both Wheatstone and Cooke viewed their device as "an improvement to the [existing] electromagnetic telegraph" not as a new device.
In 1880, Bell and co-inventor Charles Sumner Tainter conducted the world's first wireless telephone call via modulated light beams projected
by photophones. The scientific principles of their invention would not be

utilized for several decades, when they were first deployed in military and fiberoptic communications.
Radio and Television:

In 1832, James Lindsay gave a classroom demonstration of wireless
telegraphy to his students. By 1854 he was able to demonstrate a transmission across the Firth of Tay from Dundee to Woodhaven, a distance of two miles (3 km), using water as the transmission medium. On March 25, 1925, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird publicly demonstrated the transmission of moving silhouette pictures at the London department store Selfridges. In October 1925, Baird was successful in obtaining moving pictures with halftone shades, which were by most accounts the first true television pictures. This led to a public demonstration of the improved device on 26 January 1926 again at Selfridges. Baird's first devices relied upon the Nipkow disk and thus became known as themechanical television. It formed the basis of semi-experimental broadcasts done by the British Broadcasting Corporation beginning September 30, 1929.

After mid-century the spread of coaxial cable and microwave radio relay allowed television networks to spread across even large countries.
Computer networks and the Internet:

On September 11, 1940, George Stibitz was able to transmit problems using teletype to his Complex Number Calculator in New York and receive the computed results back at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.[17] This configuration of a centralized computer or mainframe with remote dumb terminals remained popular throughout the 1950s. However it was not until the 1960s that researchers started to investigate packet switching a technology that would allow chunks of data to be sent to different computers without first passing through a centralized mainframe. A four-node network emerged on December 5, 1969 between the University of California, Los Angeles, the Stanford Research Institute, the University of Utah and the University of California, Santa Barbara. This network would become ARPANET, which by 1981 would consist of 213 nodes. In June 1973, the first non-US node was added to the network belonging to Norway's NORSAR project. This was shortly followed by a node in London. ARPANET's development centred around the Request for Comment process and on April 7, 1969, RFC 1 was published. This process is important because ARPANET would eventually merge with other networks to form
the Internet and many of the protocols the Internet relies upon today were specified through this process. In September 1981, RFC 791 introduced the Internet Protocol v4 (IPv4) and RFC 793 introduced the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) thus creating the TCP/IP protocol that much of the Internet relies upon today. A more relaxed transport protocol that, unlike TCP,
EWCM/SDG/DD Page 11
did not guarantee the orderly delivery of packets called the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) was submitted on 28 August 1980 as RFC 768. An e-mail protocol, SMTP, was introduced in August 1982 by RFC 821 and http://1.0 a protocol that would make the hyperlinked Internet possible was introduced on May 1996 by RFC 1945. However not all important developments were made through the Request for Comment process. Two popular link protocols for local area networks (LANs) also appeared in the 1970s. A patent for the Token Ring protocol was filed by Olof Sderblom on October 29, 1974.[20] And a paper on
the Ethernet protocol was published by Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs in the July 1976 issue of Communications of the ACM.[21]
Internet access became widespread late in the century, using the old telephone and television networks.
Telecom in India:
The Indian telecommunications industry is one of the worlds fastest growing industries, with 653.92 million telephone (landlines and mobile) subscribers and 617.53 million mobile phone connections as of may 2010. It is also the second largest telecommunication network in the world in terms of number of wireless connections after China. The Indian Mobile subscriber base has increased in size by a factor of more than one-hundred since 2001 when the number of subscriber in the country was approximately 5 million to 617.53 million in May 2010.
EWCM/SDG/DD
Page 12
As the fastest growing telecommunications industry in the world, it is projected that India will have 1.159 billion mobile subscriber by 2013. The industry is expected to reach a size of Rs. 344,921 crore by 2012 at a growth rate of over 26 percent and generate employment opportunities for about 10 million people during the same period. According to the analysts, the sector would create direct employment for 2.8 million people and for 7 million indirectly.
Modern Growth:
A large population, low telephony penetration levels, and a rise in consumers income and spending owing to strong economic growth have helped make India the fastest-growing telecom market in the world. The first operator is the stateowned incumbent BSNL. BSNL was created by corporatization of the erstwhile DTS (Department of Telecommunication Service), a government unit responsible for provision of telephony services. Subsequently, after the telecommunication policies were revised to allow private operators, companies such as Vodafone, Bharti Airtel, Tata Indicom, Idea Cellular, Aircel and Loop Mobile have entered the space. In 2008-2009 rural India outpaced urban India in mobile growth rate. Bharti Airtel now is the largest telecom company in India. Indias mobile phone market is the fastest growing in the world, with companies adding some 20.31 million new customers in March 2010. The tatal number of telephones in the country crossed the 600 million mark in Feb 2010. The overall tele-density has increased t 44.85% in Oct 2009.
EWCM/SDG/DD
Page 13
The total wireless subscribers (GSM, CDMA & WLL (F)) base is more than 543.20 million now. The wireline segment subscriber base stood at 37.06 million with a decline of 0.12 million in Dec 2009.
Indian telecom sector: recent policies

All the Villages shall be covered by telecom facility by the end of 2002. National Long Distance Service (NLD) is opened for Unrestricted entry. The International Long Distance (ILDS) have been opened to competition. The basic services are open to competition. Policies allowing private participation have been announced as per the New Telecom Policy (NTP), 1999 in several new services, which includes Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) Services, digital Public Mobile Radio Trunked Service (PMRTS), Voice Mail/ Audiotex/ Unified Messaging Service. Two telecom PSUs, VSNL and HTL have been disinvested.

Organization Study at BHARTI AIRTEL CUSTOMER SERVICE DELIVERY

Customer Service Delivery is one of the very essential department of the organization. It plays a very vital role in the organization. This department starts working right from the beginning when a customer applies for a connection. CSD is the department which is to sort out any kind of problem faced by the customer. The department is playing a very vital role in retaining the customers. Let us now know in broad how this particular department functions. When a customer wishes to take a connection he/she first goes to particular outlet where a connection is available. Then the customer fills up the form and takes a connection. This department then starts its work, they send for the verification of the customer who has applied for the connection. After the verification is done the connection of the customer gets activated and the customer starts using it. After that, if the customer wants to use other services provided by the company, the customer will either go to the outlets or call in the help desk for further query or to know about the schemes provided. All this role play is handled by the CSD department itself. We can say that this department is directly connected with the customers 24 hours. The informations that we receive through Value Added Service( i.e. SMS) is all done by this department itself. They always keeps the customers aware of the newly launched schemes and try to benefit the customers. To benefit a customer a company should always resolve the problems of the customers that they are facing. They also should not only resolve the problem and leave, but they should also follow up the customers from time to time and create goodwill among them.
EWCM/SDG/DD Page 28

All this is done by the CSD department very smoothly and accurately. If this department fails to perform then there will be a great chaos in the company and may fail to proceed further. The department has three touch-points:-
TOUCH POINTS
OUTLETS
CALL CENTRE
SELF SERVICE
Now let me tell in details what are the Touch Points and what they actually does:-
OUTLETS:
The outlets are those where a connection is available and a customer can go and grab. The outlets are made by the company for easy access of the connection. If suppose a customer is facing any problem, he/she will go to the outlet first and ask what to do regarding it. They here at this point provide service to the customers for easy access and contact the company as and when required. The outlets work on behalf of the company and provide service to the customers. Through outlets a customer pays bill, recharge the number, launch complains, etc. Outlets are first place where from the functioning of the department starts.
EWCM/SDG/DD Page 29
CALL CENTRE:
We are very much familiar with the term Call Centre. We know what it does and how it functions. A call centre receives a call from a customer and treats the customer according to their needs. A customer contacts a call centre through a given helpline number by the company. The call centre deals with the complains and also provide with information that is required to the customer. This is a place where they tries to solve the problem online if possible or they take the complain from the customer and gives the customer a complain number. Now a days call centre is available in almost all the companys. The main function of call centre is to solve the problem of the customers and follow up.
SELF SERVICE:
This is a touch point where a customer does everything themselves. This is done with SMS service. By following the guide one can do it. Here what happen is if a person wants to activate a service like miss call alert, caller tune, news, etc. The customer can read the instruction and do it by himself by sending one SMS or by dialling a specified number. If a customer wants to check the balance amount of the number using for a prepaid customer or if a post-paid customer wants to know the bill amount of the number, then the customer can by dialling the specified number provided by the service provider can check it.
EWCM/SDG/DD
Page 30

No department is possible to control and run smoothly if it is not sub-divided. Likewise this department has three sub-divisions:1. Sales and Marketing. 2. Network 3. Customer Service
COMPLAIN MANAGEMENT CELL:

The CSD department has a special cell where it deals with the complain of the customers. The cell is known as Complain Management Cell. The complain management cell keeps an eye on the complain which goes to the back end. They sees whether the issues are resolved or not. They try to find out what is the matter of the complain. They resolves the complain and follow up their customers. Eg: if a customer is having a problem with hello tunes or network, the customer lodges a complain to the company through the call centres and solves the problem. This is how the complain management cell works and plays a vital role in retaining their customers. The complain management cell works for whole day and night to satisfy the customers and resolve their problems. Without this it would have been very difficult to retain customers.

The CSD department has three departments. They are shown below:

This department aware customer about the launch of new product through message or through IVR. There are some customers who doesnt have time to go through the newly launched schemes and products in the market, in such case this department plays a very vital role in self caring the customers and making them aware of the products in the market.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT Organizations are made up of people and functions through people. Human resources are the wealth of the organization. No organization can run without human being. This human being helps the organization to achieve goals and targets of the organization. It is the total knowledge, ability, talents and aptitude of an organization work force. Human resource management (HRM) is the understanding and application of the policy and procedures that directly affect the people working within the project team and working group. These policies include recruitment, retention, reward, personal development, training and career development. According to Edwin B. Flippo HRM is the planning, organizing, directing and controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, integration, maintenance and production of human resources to the end that individual, organizational and societal objectives are accomplished Human Resource Management is the process of binding people and organization together so that the objectives are achieved. Organizations are not mere bricks, motor, machines or inventories. They are people. It is the people who staff and manage organization.
OBJECTIVES OF HRM:
Objectives are predetermined goals to which individual or group activity in organization is directed. Obesity of personal management is influenced by organizational goals, individual goals and social goals are instituted to attain certain specific goals. There are some of the basic objectives of HRM: To create and utilize the people in the organization.
EWCM/SDG/DD Page 34

Motivate the workforce to accomplish the basic organizational goals. Harmonious relation among all the members/workers of the organization. Effective utilization of the human resources. Provide training to the workers to improve their skills. The Human Resource department in Airtel is divided into four sub-divisions. Let us see what the entire department does and how it functions:
HUMAN RESOURCE
TALENT ACQUISITION
HUMAN RESOURCE OPERATIONS
LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
ADMINISTRATION/ SUPPORT FUNCTION
Now let us see what this departments usually does and what they provide to the employees of the organization.
EWCM/SDG/DD
Page 35
TALENT ACQUISITION:
1. ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE. For talent acquisition the HR department should be familiar with the organization structure. Because if they are not then they cannot know what are the people required and in which department.
2. MANPOWER REQUIREMENT/ PLANNING. Then comes the requirement of the manpower in the organization. Accordingly the HR manager will plan and recruit people in the organization and fill up the gap.

Marketing can defined as: According to Philip Kotler Marketing is Marketing is analyzing, organizing, planning and controlling of the firms customer impinging resources, policies activities with a view to satisfying the needs and wants of chosen customer groups at a profit. Marketing occupies an imperative position in the organization of a business unit. The traditional view of the marketing asserts that the customers will accept whatever product the seller offers them. In this way the main concern of the producer is to produce without considering the changes. The modern concept may be viewed from the customers point of view. Marketing is customer centered, i.e.it resolves entirely around the ultimate consumer. The producer cannot produce whatever he likes but he has to produce what customer needs. In this way, marketing executes all those functions, which are necessary to pass on goods from the producer to the customers in a process to satisfy there needs. Thus the primary objectives of modern marketing is the satisfaction of customers needs. Therefore, marketing functions are not limited to the functions of buying and selling but they include all functions necessary to satisfy the customer such as financing, storage, risk bearing and after sale service etc. The Marketing Department maintains and adheres to certain policies and procedure that have been framed in the same manner just other departments maintain their policies and procedure for the overall benefit of the organization.

Finance is the lifeblood of the business. Finance can be defined as the activity concerned with the planning, raising, controlling and acquiring of funds used in the business. Finance is the process of acquiring and utilizing funds by a business. Without proper financial management, organization cannot achieve its objectives. Bad production management and bad sales in hundreds, but faulty Finance slain in thousand It is the master key, which provides access to all the sources for being employed in the manufacturing and merchandising activities. It has rightly been said that business needs money to make more money, when it is properly managed. Hence, efficient management of every business enterprise is closely linked with efficient management of its finance. Although it may be difficult to separate the finance functions from production marketing and other functions themselves can be readily identified. We may identify two kinds of finance functions: 1. Managerial 2. Routine Managerial finance functions are so called because they require skilful planning, control and executing of financial activities. Routine finance functions do not require a great managerial ability to carry them out. They are chiefly clerical and are incidental to the effective handling of the managerial finance functions.
