EXECUTIVE SUMM ARY

The project aims at understanding the Marketing strategies at Bharti Airtel and its
impact on the perception of Airtel telemedia Services. Research has demonstrated
conclusively that it is far more costly to win a new customer than it is to maintain an
existing one. And there is no better way to retain a customer than to exceed his
expectations. For this purpose it is essential to know the level of customer satisfaction.
The focus of my research was the measurement of customer satisfaction level for the
services provided by Bharti Airtel. The research was done for the corporate clients of
Bharti Airtel. My job was not only to represent the Corporate Sales Dept. and collect
the feedback from the clients but also to get the major complaints resolved through
internal counselling. There can be no better opportunity to interact with the external as
well as the internal customers of an organization. Finally the results of the research
verify the fact that keeping the customer satisfied is the best strategy to not only
retain the existing customers but also to expand the business to new horizons.

 MILESTONE OF COMPANY
1 Mobile phone operator, Bharti Airtel, became the first Indian telecom company to serve 50
million customers last month, and is now the world’s tenth largest wireless carrier.

2 Bharti has doubled its user base in the past 14 months alone, and hopes to reach 100 million
subscribers by 2010, according to company executives.

3 “Our next 50 million will largely come from rural India as our plan is to reach 5,200 census
towns and over five lakh villages, covering 96 per cent of the Indian population,” said Bharti
Airtel president and CEO, Manoj Kohli, at a news conference this week.

4 Bharti Airtel, India’s leading telecommunication services provider, today announced that it had
crossed the 50 million customer mark. With this, Bharti Airtel has achieved the distinction of
becoming the fastest private telecom company in world to achieve this landmark in a single
country - within 143 months of start of operations. The 50 million customer base covers mobile
as well as broadband & telephone customers.

5 Commenting on this major global landmark, Mr. Akhil Gupta, Joint Managing Director, Bharti
Airtel said, “We are delighted to have achieved this major landmark, which puts Bharti Airtel
amongst the top telecom companies in the world. It underlines the strength of our unique
business model and our vision to provide affordable services like lifetime prepaid to customers
across the length and breadth of the country. I would like to thank our partners for having shared
our vision. This milestone highlights the emergence of India as one of the top telecom markets in
the world and we are proud to have been at the forefront of this growth. Going forward, we
believe this growth momentum will remain intact and we are gearing towards the 100 million
customers mark.”
6 Bharti Airtel crossed the 10 million customer mark in November 2004. In July last year, it
crossed the 25 million customer mark.

7 The company added the next 25 million customers in just 14 months. This is amongst the fastest
rate of customer additions by any telecom company in the world.

8 Mr. Manoj Kohli, President & CEO, Bharti Airtel added, “This is a very proud moment for us
and I would like to thank our 50 million customers for believing in Airtel. It is a tribute to our
commitment to provide best-in-class services to our customers and lead the market with exciting
innovations. We are committed to create a world-class organization and benchmark it with the
best in the world. As the market gets ready for the next wave of growth, we are committed to
expanding our telecom networks wider and deeper across the country and partner India’s growth
story.”

9 In the mobile business, Bharti Airtel plans to make considerable investments in Network

expansion to establish presence in all census towns and over 500,000 villages across India by

2010, thereby covering 95% of the country’s total population. The company’s strategic focus

will be on further strengthening the Airtel brand through best-in-class customer service, which is

backed by wide national distribution.

10 In the Enterprise business, Bharti Airtel will invest substantially in the long distance business

to achieve the scale of a global carrier within next 2-3 years. It is also strengthening the

corporate business towards becoming a preferred managed services partner for the top 2000

corporations. In Broadband & Telephone SBU, Bharti Airtel will initiate large-scale
 deployments of broadband network infrastructure in 94 towns, with a sharp focus on the home

and SME segments. It is readying to offer triple play to its customers with the launchof its

IPTV service.

Bharti Tele-Ventures
Bharti Tele-Ventures is one of India's leading private sector providers of telecommunications
services based on an aggregate of 28,692627 customers as on September 30, 2006, consisting
of 27,061,349 GSM mobile and 1,631,278 broadband & telephone customers.The businesses at
Bharti Tele-Ventures have been structured into three individual strategic units (SBU’s) –

1. mobile services

2. broadband and telephone services (B&T)

3. enterprise services

The Mobile services group provides GSM mobile services across India in 23 telecom circles,
while B&T business group provides broadband & telephone services in 94 cities. The
Enterprise Services group has two sub-units – carriers (long distance services) and services
top corporates. All these services are provided under the Airtel brand.

Bharti Enterprises has been at the forefront of technology and has revolutionized telecommunications
with its world class products and services. Established in 1976, Bharti has been a pioneering force in
the telecom sector with many firsts and innovations to its credit. Bharti provides a range of telecom
services, which include Cellular, Basic, Internet and recently introduced National Long Distance.
Bharti also manufactures and exports telephone terminals and cordless phones. Apart from being the
largest manufacturer of telephone instruments in India, it is also the first company to export its

position for itself in the global telecommunications sector. Bharti Tele-Ventures is today
acknowledged as one of India's finest companies, and its flagship brand 'Airtel', has over 12
million customers across the length and breadth of India.

While a joint venture with TeleTech Inc., USA marked Bharti’s successful foray into the Customer
Management Services business, Bharti Enterprises’ dynamic diversification has continued with the
company venturing into telecom software development. Recently, Bharti has successfully launched an
international venture with EL
Rothschild Group owned ELRO Holdings India Ltd., to export fresh Agri products exclusively to
markets in Europe and USA

"What other operators have achieved in one to two years, Bharti has done
in just over a month. In July 2002, one out of every two people buying a
mobile across India chose AirTel. We are truly proud to be spearheading
the mobile revolution in the country."

 BROADBAND MARKET IN INDIA

With a population of around 1.1 billion growing at roughly 1.7 per cent a year, India is
potentially one of the most exciting broadband and fixed line markets in the world.
After two rather difficult years, the past 12 months have seen the region's promise
beginning to come to fruition. Much of this success can be attributed to the
stabilization of the licensing and regulatory environment. India’s telemedia have
undergone a steady liberalization since 1994 when the Indian government first sought
private investment in the sector. More significant liberalization followed in 1996 with
the licensing of new local fixed line and mobile service providers. However, it has
been the
government's New Telecom Policy (1999) that has had the most radical impact on the

development of Broadband and fixed line services. 'The policy's mission statement is

'affordable communications for all', There is a genuine commitment to creating a

modern and efficient internet infrastructure that takes account of the convergence of

telecom, IT and media. In addition, the policy places significant emphasis on greater

competition for both fixed and mobile services.'Competition in the broadband internet

sector has already had a visible impact on prices with calls and internet charges

currently costing less than 9 cents per minute. This means that service costs have fallen

by 60 per cent since the first broadband networks became live in 1995. It also helps

explain why a recent Telecom Asia survey revealed that more than 70 per cent of

Indian internet subscribers of broadband felt that prices were now at a reasonable

level.

One of the challenges facing broadband operators in India is the diversity of the

coverage regions -from remote rural regions to some of the most densely populated

metropolitan areas in the world as unwired areas, blacklisted areas and Distributed

point choked areas etc.

The good news is that subscriber growth is beginning to look healthy.

With India's low PC penetration and high average Internet usage -at 14-

20 hours a month per user it is comparable to the US -the market for

mobile data and m-commerce looks extremely promising. WAP services

have already been launched in the subcontinent and the first GPRS

networks are in the process of being rolled out. In the year ahead,

broadband India will work with its members to realize the potential of

early packet services in anticipation of the award of 3GSM licences.

India fastest growing broadband mart

India is expected to have 145 million customers by 2010-11 compared to

26 million subscribers as on March 2008-09, according to the

Broadband and fixed line Association. " India is a success story. It is one

of the fastest growing markets with its subscriber base doubling in

2009. At this pace, the target of 150 million subscribers by 2010-2011 is

definitely achievable," Alan Hadden, president of GSA, said at a news

conference in New Delhi.Globally, the broadband market reached 1

billion users in February 2005, he said, adding broadband accounted for

80 per cent of the new subscriber growth in 2009.

 VISION

By 2010 Airtel will be the most admired brand in India:

 Loved by more customers

 Targeted by top talent
 Benchmarked by more businesses

We at Airtel always think in fresh and innovative ways about the needs of our customers

and how we want them to feel. We deliver what we promise and go out of our way to

delight the customer with a little bit more .

Airtel comes to you from Bharti Tele-Ventures Limited - a part of the biggest private

integrated telecom conglomerate, Bharti Enterprises. A consortium of giants in the

telecommunication business. In it's six years of pursuit of greater customer satisfaction,

AirTel has redefined the business through marketing innovations, continuous technological

up gradation of the network, introduction of new generation value added services and the

highest standard of customer care.

Bharti is the leading cellular service provider, with an all India footprint covering all 23

telecom circles of the country. It has over 12 million satisfied customers.

Cellular telephony was introduced in India during the early 1990s. At that time, there

were only two major private players, Bharti (Airtel) and Essar (Essar) and both these

companies offered only post-paid services. Initially, the cellular services market

registered limited growth.

Moreover, these services were mostly restricted to the metros. Other factors such as lack

of awareness among people, lack of infrastructural facilities, low standard of living, and

government regulations were also responsible for the slow growth of cellular phone

services in India.

Although the cellular services market in India grew during the late 1990s (as the number

of players increased and tariffs and handset prices came down significantly) the growth

was rather marginal. This was because the cellular service providers offered only post-

paid cellular services, which were still perceived to be very costly as compared to

landline communications.

Following this realization, the major cellular service providers in India, launched pre-paid

cellular services in the late 1990s. The main purpose of these services was to target

customers from all sections of society (unlike post-paid services, which were targeted

only at the premium segment).

PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY
After the liberalization of the Indian Telecom Sector in 1994, the Indian cellular market

witnessed a surge in cellular services. By 2005, there were a total of 12 players in the market

with the five major players being Bharti Tele-Ventures Limited (Bharti), Bharat Sanchar Nigam

Limited (BSNL), Hutchinson-Essar limited (Hutch), Idea Cellular limited (Idea) and Reliance

India Mobile (RIM) (Refer Exhibit I).

All the players except RIM offered services based on the Global System for Mobile (GSM)

technology. RIM provided services based on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

technology as well as GSM.

As competition in the telecom arena intensified, service providers took new initiatives to woo

customers. Prominent among these were - celebrity endorsements, loyalty rewards, discount

coupons, business solutions and talk time schemes. The most important consumer segments in

the cellular industry were the youth segment and the business class segment. The youth segment

was the largest and fastest growing segment and was therefore targeted most heavily by cellular

service providers.

Bharti Tele-Ventures adopted celebrity endorsement as its chief promotional strategy. By 2004 it

emerged the unprecedented leader commanding the largest market share in the cellular service
market. (Refer Exhibit II). Hutch implemented the celebrity endorsement strategy partially,

relying primarily on its creative advertising for the promotion of its brand. BSNL, on the other

hand, attracted the consumer through its low cost schemes. Being a state owned player, BSNL

could cover rural areas, and this helped it increase its subscriber base. Reliance was another

player that cashed on its innovative promotional strategies, which included celebrity

endorsements and attractive talk time schemes. Idea, relied heavily on its creative media

advertising sans celebrities.

RAHMAN TUNE CROSSES AIRTEL’S

EXCLUSIVITY BARRIER
Cellular service provider AirTel seems to have hit the right note with its new commercial starring

musician A R Rahman. The commercial which is currently on air has a beat which also doubles

up as a ringtone which is ostensibly available only to AirTel users. But the interesting part is that

the ringtone is being flaunted not just by AirTel customers but by customers of rival service

providers like BPL, Orange and Dolphin as well! “We did expect the tune to catch up but this has

really exceeded our expectations,” admits Bharti Cellular’s chief marketing officer (western

region) Pratik Pota. Overall, he explains, it is a great advertising product for AirTel and works

like a “walking, talking brand ambassador.”

The ringtone which is also the jingle for AirTel’s TV commercial, is proving to be a potent
advertising tool for the company. It is not very clear what this means for the other cellular

operators. Cellular users have been “forwarding” the tune to one another, which according to Mr

Pota, has given AirTel a chance to enter the “mind of the user” irrespective of which service he

opts for. “It gives the user a chance to go back to the AirTel product and acts as a strong reminder

medium,” he explains. Marketing professionals like Samsika Marketing Consultants’ managing

director Jagdeep Kapoor point to the usage of an “audio celebrity” as something that is

significant.

“The normal practice is to opt for film stars and sportsmen rather than an audio personality” he

says. Rivals, though seemingly unfazed by the phenomenon, seem to be doing their own

homework on this brand of advertising. While none of them commented on AirTel’s strategy and

its impact on their own subscriber base, one advertising professional working with a rival service

provider opines that the tune is “transient” and not likely to have any long term impact as a brand

building tool. Being the latest entrant in the Mumbai circle, AirTel has had to find ways of

cutting through the clutter.

Says Mr Kapoor,” AirTel will have try to find ways to attract new customers and convert the

existing ones.” Explaining that the usage of an audio celebrity was more “strategic than tactical”,

he adds that non-AirTel users will have the AirTel “brand experience” inspite of not using the

service.

While Mr Pota highlights the fact that the usage of the tune by other operators means “free

advertising” for AirTel and the users having a positive disposition towards the product, the nature

of reaction from competition remains unclear.

“Competition will not do well to adopt a knee jerk reaction and will have to come out with

advertising that is well thought out” explains Mr Kapoor. He anticipates a situation where the

new entrant (AirTel) will continue to be more aggressive.

 M A R K E T S I T U ATI O N

At the time of launch

The first mover in the market was Airtel which launched its services in Delhi in

Aug 1995 (Informal launch). Panasonic or sony followed by launching EP box for

distributed lines, with its services informally in Oct 95. At this point of time, the

market was at a nascent stage, awareness level was low and both operators

independently tried to spread awareness and educate the people

Once the networks were commercially launched, it became a number game with a

multitude of schemes being offered to woo customers Initially the Broadband was

perceived as a status symbol and utility took a back seat The target segment in

Delhi were corporate and the high income group. The average capacity installed

was for 1.5 lakh subscribers. This coupled with the steep license fee paid to DOT

put pressure on the operators to break-even by rapidly expanding their markets. In

the first two years, this led to a number of schemes being offered and prices

crashing.
 COMPETITIVE SITUATION
Airtel launched its services before Essar and skimmed the market picking up the

bulk of the high usage premium clients. This is a very competitive industry with

the two companies differentiating either on value-added services or price. Airtel

is perceived as the high quality provider and has a premium image. Essar, on the

other hand, is perceived as the lower end service provider. Airtel positions itself

as the market leader on the basis of the number of subscribers. Essar is trying to

counter this by emphasising on the reach of its network and the quality of its

service. However, Essar is somewhat not been very successful largely due to the

inconsistency in advertising.To promote themselves, both the players have been

dependent on tactical advertising However, they have restrained from using

comparative advertising Hoardings have been a very popular medium for carrying

the advertisements Airtel has also been advertising on television using the Bharti

Telecom name.

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH DESIGN

Marketing research is often concerned with the behaviors of the consumer in the respect
marketing research have drawn heavily on the behavioral. Sciences such a psychology and
sociology in fact the contribution of these science to marketing research have been very
significant especially with regard to two aspect.

1. The research technique used by psychology and they have amply used sociologists being
of considerable relevance to marketing researchers.

2. The concept and the theories of these behavioral sciences are also proved to be relevant
to market researcher.

Method of data collection

Questionnaire:
This was the most popular method for conducting the survey. It helped in collecting the
information from the framed question, to get maximum necessary data for research.
 Mode of research: - Interviews

Direct Calling by visiting in their offices.

Telephonic interviews of existing clients.

 Research Area: - Cannaught Place (New Delhi)

Nehru Place (New Delhi)

 Population Size: - New or existing clients from data base.

 Interviewed Clients:- 5 Clients daily ( New or Existing)

 Source of Client Data Base: - Provided by company, corporate contacts from several
directories and references from existing clients.

 Client Selection for Interview:- Randomly from data base or follow ups clients.

 Clients Type:- Corporate Clients only

In my research, I had to fix 4 to 5 meetings daily with clients either new or existing. New
clients to make new business prospects for completion of my target and existing clients to
get feedback about our services offered by Bharti Airtel and to get references about new
clients. I have completed my research on above criteria and find out various outcomes,
some of them in positive and some in negative which i have included in my advantage
and disadvantage part of this report.
