LITERATURE REVIEW
In this literature review. The consumer perceptions about 4G services in Pune.
The objectives of the study were (1) to find the most influencing factor in
selection of service provider, and (2) to measure customer perception and
satisfaction about the 4G service provided. The study on a 4G indicated that some
problems exist that deserve the attention of the company. The company needs to
bridge the gap between the services promised and 4G services offered. And to
conclude, “Delivering service without measuring the impact on the customer is
like driving a car without a windshield”
.
At 4G, The Company have always sought to enhance value for you as a customer
by providing you the most relevant and easy to use services through innovation
and by harnessing the latest developments in technology. In line with this
strategy, constantly introduced 4G innovative services to suit customer unique
needs and wants. These 4G trends in the market and among customers generate a
demand for high speed and more rapidly changing services and expectation for a
different approach to technology development.
As well as imposing requirements in terms of 4G technology development, trends
such as mass individualization call for a responsive answer to a sharply increasing
market demand. Successful growth and diffusion of 4G services is focusing
customer satisfaction on how mobile relates to 4G networks. Accordingly, it is
necessary for company to review current frameworks in those instances where
changes might impede the offering of certain aspects.
Consumer perception about 4G much more volatile, much less predictable and
increasingly concerned with instant gratification. The expectation is that in due
course this trend towards individualization will become a more important factor in
the emerging markets too, particularly in everyarea. In future, 4G services over
5
mobile networks and company need to review current regulatory frameworks to
enhance innovation and competition in the market of these services.
Many companies have been gaining rising popularity due to the advances in 4G
technologies and the large increase in the number of itsusers. The companies that
expand beyond services and develop a content distribution platform will win
customers ‘expectation. Companiescouldnot follow constant rules to be successful
in potential markets. There is not a list of actions that lead companies to more
profit or more customer satisfaction. Because 4G services are increasingly spread
out all over India. And every customer is preferred these 4G services.

the key factor determining how successful the company will be in competitive
market, therefore it is very important to measure it.

INTRODUCTION
After the globalization of India economy in 1991 the telecommunication sector
remained one of the most happening sectors in India. The recent year’s witnesses
rapid and dramatic changes in the field of telecommunications. In the last few
years more and more companies both foreign, domestic, come into cellular
service, service market and offers large number of services to the people.
In the year of 1989, the number of cell phone users in India was zero. In the year
of 1999 the number of cell phone users has gone up by 13 lakhs. In the year of
2000 the number of cell phone users has risen by one million. Indian telecom
sector added a staggering 227.27 million wireless mobile users in the 12 months
between March 2010 and March 2011, while the overall tele density has increased
to 81.82% as of 30 November 2015, and the total numbers of telephone phone
users (mobile & landline) have reached 1009.46 million as of May,2015.Now
currently telephone subscriber (mobile & landline) is 1058.01 million (May
2016).
The company is reconfiguring to meet the growing demand for mobile services. It
will differentiate our mobile services from our competitors through ongoing
9
investment in technology, distribution and customer services, providing both a
great customer experience and competitive value.
The company is updating our retail footprint to a new Reliance JIO concept
delivering a differentiated customer experience. A core part of our promise to
customers is to ensure that their technical experts in store transfer all their
personal data to their new LYF phone allowing them to walk out of the store with
their phone fully functional. Extensive trials of our new concept store across all
markets have shown significant increases in both sales and customer satisfaction.
The new concept will be rolled out globally over the next upcoming years.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
India has a fast-growing mobile services market with excellent potential for the
future. With almost five million subscribers amassed in less than two years of
operation, India's growth tempo has far exceeded that of numerous other markets,
such as China and Thailand, which have taken more than five years to reach the
figures India currently holds. The number of mobile phone subscribers in the
country would exceed 50 million by 2010 and cross 300 million by 2016, per
Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI).
Per recent strategic research by Frost & Sullivan, Indian Cellular Services Market,
such growth rates can be greatly attributed to the drastically falling price of
mobile handsets, with price playing a fundamental role in Indian subscriber
requirements. Subscribers in certain regions can acquire the handset at almost no
cost, thanks to the mass-market stage these technologies have reached
internationally. The Indian consumer can buy a handset for $150 or less. This
should lead to increased subscribership. This market is growing at an extremely
fast pace and so is the competition between the mobile service providers.
12
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is a new digital technology
developed by the European community to create a common mobile standard
around the world. It helps you achieve higher sell capacity and better speech
quality and one can enjoy crystal clear reception on one’s mobile phone. It
automatically solves the problem of eavesdropping on one’s calls.
13
demand for easier and faster connectivity, the mobile telephony market is expected to
race ahead.
The policy also announced a series of specific targets to be achieved by 1997 and
further recognized that to achieve these targets the private sector association and
investment would be required to bridge the resource gap.
14
Thus, to meet the telecom needs of the nation and to achieve international
comparable standards, the sector for manufacture of telecom equipment had been
progressively relicensed and the sub-sector for value-added services was opened
to private investment (July 1992) for electronic mail, voice mail, data services,
audio text services, video text services, video conferencing, radio paging and
cellular mobile telephone. The private sector participation in the
sector was carried out in a phased manner. Initially the private sector was
allowed in the value-added services, and thereafter, it was allowed in the fixed
telephone services. Subsequently, VSAT services were liberalized for private
sector participation to provide data services to closed user groups.

Players in the market
● BSNL is the market leader with a 67.7 per cent share followed by MTNL

10 solutions. "India is one of the fastest growing markets in terms of
smartphone and mobile data adoption,” said per Sunil Lalvani, Managing
Director (MD), BlackBerry India.
● Tata Teleservices plans to set up nearly 4,000 wi-fi hotspots in nine cities
across the country in the next two years.
Booming sectors
● The tide has turned for the telecom sector in India, as growth and
profitability has accelerated in recent times. Tower companies are reaping
benefits of a turnaround in the sector as operators have started investing in
networks to boost data penetration.
● However, it is in the country’s booming mobile segment in which the
major battles are being fought. Three major private players – Bharti Airtel,
Reliance and Vodafone - with a formidable 54% share of the market
between them, lead a large field of mobile operators. State-owned
enterprises –BSNL and MTNL – have also been making their presence felt
with a combined market share of 12%.
A look ahead
● Per Craig Wigginton, vice chairman and U.S. Telecommunications leader,
Deloitte &Touché LLP, the big challenge for the telecom industry in 2016
– which also presents a major growth opportunity for the sector – is that
consumers are getting addicted to connectivity and highspeed.
19
● The ongoing expansion of the mobile ecosystem, coupled with demand for
high-bandwidth applications and services such as video and gaming, is
keeping pressure on the industry to increase the availability and quality of
broadband connectivity.
● What does this mean for players in the sector? Carriers will continue to
pursue technological advancements to handle demand, including
offloading some mobile bandwidth needs to Wi-Fi, which is proving an
effective complement to mobile networks. At the same time, long-term
spectrum availability, spectrum efficiency, small cells and continued
backhaul improvements are likely to be a key focus to assure continued
mobile broadband momentum

Jio also known as Reliance Jio and officially as Reliance JioInfocomm Limited
(RJIL), is an upcoming provider of mobile telephony, broadband services, and
digital services in India.
Reliance JioInfocomm Limited (RJIL), a subsidiary of Reliance Industries
Limited (RIL), India’s largest private sector company, is the first telecom operator
to hold pan India Unified License. Formerly known as Infotel Broadband
Services Limited(IBSL), Jio will provide 4G services on a pan-India level using
LTE technology. The telecom leg of Reliance Industries Limited, it was
incorporated in 2007 and is based in Mumbai, India. It is headquartered in Navi
Mumbai.
23
services, government citizen interfaces and entertainment. RJIL aims to provide
anytime, anywhere access to innovative and empowering digital content,
applications and services, thereby propelling India into global leadership in digital
economy.
RJIL is also deploying an enhanced packet core network to create futuristic high
capacity infrastructure to handle huge demand for data and voice. In addition to
high speed data, the 4G network will provide voice services from / to non-RJIL
network.
RJIL holds spectrum in 1800 MHz (across 14 circles) and 2300 MHz (across 22
circles) capable of offering fourth generation (4G) wireless services. RJIL plans to
provide seamless 4G services using FDD-LTE on 1800 MHz and TDD-LTE on
2300 MHz through an integrated ecosystem.
Reliance Jio is part of the “Bay of Bengal Gateway” Cable System, planned to
provide connectivity between South East Asia, South Asia and the Middle East,
and to Europe, Africa and to the Far East Asia through interconnections with
other existing and newly built cable systems landing in India, the Middle East and
Far East Asia.
RJIL’s subsidiary has been awarded with a Facility Based Operator License
(“FBO License”) in Singapore which will allow it to buy, operate and sell
undersea and/or terrestrial fiber connectivity, setup its internet point of presence,
offer internet transit and peering services as well as data and voice roaming
services in Singapore.
R-Jio is also in the process of installing hundreds of monopoles, unlike the regular
rooftop-mounted telecom towers typically used by telcos, said the company
executive quoted above. Monopoles, or ground-based masts (GBMs), are
expected to double up as street lights and surveillance systems, and provide real-
time monitoring of traffic and advertising opportunities.
24
The company, which plans to be rolled out commercial telecom service operations
from January, is currently in the testing phase for most of its offerings including
4G services
R-Jio, meanwhile, faces its share of challenges in terms of return on investment
and capturing market share. The company, per industry analysts, is expected to
spend $8-9 billion for the 4G roll-out. The company will battle for subscribers
with leading telcos such as BhartiAirtel Ltd, Vodafone India Pvt Ltd and Idea
Cellular Ltd.

under it will create over 5,00,000 direct and indirect jobs.
"Digital India as company has seen empowers them to fulfil their aspirations.
Reliance has invested over Rs.2,50,000 crores across the Digital India pillars,"
Ambani said, adding: "I estimate Reliance's 'Digital India' investments will create
employment for over 5,00,000 people. " Ambani said the launch of Digital India
initiative was a momentous occasion in an information age where digitization was
changing the way one lives, learns, works and plays. It can transform the lives of
1.2 billion Indians using the power of digital technology. And as well as "So 80
percent of the 1.3 billion Indians will have high-speed, mobile Internet. And by
2017, company would cover 90 percent. And by 2018, all of India would be
covered by this digital infrastructure,"

HISTORY
In June 2010, Reliance Industries (RIL) bought a 96% stake in Infotel Broadband
Services Limited (IBSL) for Rs 4,800cr. Although unlisted, IBBL was the only
firm to win broadband spectrum in all 22 zones in India in the 4G auction that
took place earlier that year. Later continuing as RIL's telecom subsidiary, Infotel
Broadband Services Limited was renamed as Reliance JioInfocomm Limited
(RJIL) in January 2013.
Agreements:
✔ An agreement with Ascend Telecom for their more than 4,500 towers
across India. (June 2014)
✔ An agreement with Tower Vision for their 8,400 towers across India.
(May 2014)
✔ An agreement with ATC India for their 11,000 towers across India. (April

OPERATIONS
In June 2015, Jio announced that it will start its operations all over the country by
the end of year. However, four months later in October 2015, the company's
spokesmen sent out a press release stating that the launch was postponed to the
first quarter of the financial year 2016-2017.
Later in July, a PIL filed in the Supreme Court by an NGO called the Centre for
Public Interest Litigation, through PrashantBhushan, challenged the grant of pan-
India license to Jio by the Government of India. The PIL also alleged that Jio was
allowed to provide voice telephony along with its 4G data service, by paying an
additional fees of just 165.8 crore (US$25 million) which was arbitrary and
unreasonable, and contributed to a loss of 2,284.2 crore (US$340 million) to the
exchequer.
The Indian Department of Telecom (DoT), however, refuted all of CAG's claims.
In its statement, DoT explained that the rules for 3G and BWA spectrum didn't
restrict BWA winners from providing voice telephony. Thus, the PIL was
revoked, and the accusations were dismissed.
Beta Launch
The 4G services were launched internally to Jio's partners, its staff and their
families on 27 December 2015. Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, who is also
the brand ambassador of Jio, kick started the launch event which took place in
Reliance Corporate Park in Navi Mumbai, along with celebrities like musician A
R Rahman, actors RanbirKapoor and Javed Jaffrey, and filmmaker
RajkumarHirani.The closed event was witnessed by more than 35000 RIL
employees some of whom were virtually connected from around 1000 locations
including Dallas in the US.

PRODUCT & SERVICES
The company has launched its 4G broadband services throughout India in the first
quarter of 2016 financial year. It was slated to release in December 2015 after
some reports said that the company was waiting to receive final permits from the
government. MukeshAmbani, owner of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) whose
Reliance Jio is the telecom subsidiary, had unveiled details of Jio's fourth-
generation (4G) services on 12 June 2015 at RIL's 41st annual general meeting. It
will offer data and voice services with peripheral services like instant messaging,
live TV, movies on demand, news, streaming music, and a digital payments
platform.
The company has a network of more than 250,000 km of fiber optic cables in the
country, over which it will be partnering with local cable operators to get broader
connectivity for its broadband services. With its multi-service operator (MSO)
license, Jio will also serve as a TV channel distributor and will offer television-
on-demand on its network.

INTRODUCTION TO
THE PROBLEM
43
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM
Even though the sector has reflected promising growth, the tele density in India
remains at a very low level compared with international standards and thus
providing tremendous opportunity for future growth. In the medium-term, the
industry is expected to continue to record good subscriber growth because of low
penetration levels, heightened competition; a sustained fall in minimum
subscription cost and tariff that increase affordability for lower-income rural
users, expansion of coverage area by mobile operators, and government support
through schemes such as the rural infrastructure roll out funded by subsidies from
the Universal Service Obligation (USO) Fund. The Indian telecom sector offers
unprecedented opportunities in various areas, such as rural telephony, 4G, virtual
private network, value-added services, et al. Nonetheless, the lack of telecom
infrastructure in rural areas and falling ARPU of telecom service providers could
inhibit the future growth of the industry
44
The competitive intensity in the telecom industry in India is one of the highest in
the world and has led to sustained fall in realization for the service providers.
Intense competitive pressure and cut throat pricing has resulted in declining
ARPUs. With increasing number of new entrants in the telecom space the
competitive intensity is likely to continue, putting further downward pressures on
the telecom tariffs. Thus, the telecom companies might have to grapple with
further decline in ARPUs, going forward.
Further, with the telecom companies moving their focus to the rural areas for
driving the future subscriber growth they might not witness a commensurate
increase in revenues. In fact, the risk of steep decline in ARPUs will increase
going forward as the telecom companies penetrate rural markets that are
characterized by higher concentration of low-income, low-usage customers. A
higher-than-expected decline in ARPU poses a risk of reduction in margins of
service providers. Alternatively, telecom operators are turning their focus to
steadily increasing the minutes of usage (MoU) to counter the sustained fall in
ARPUs. Likewise, the growth of the VAS is also crucial for some improvement in
the ARPUs of operators.
45
A rural tele density of merely 15% point towards the fact that most Indian
population still do not have access to telecom services. The rural India seems to
have remained untouched by the telecom revolution witnessed in the last few
years. A huge 'digital divide', which is reflected by the enormous difference of
74% between the urban and rural tele density, reiterates this fact.
However, with the urban markets reaching a saturation point, the telecom service
providers are penetrating rural areas for driving future growth. Thus, the service
providers entering new rural markets might witness substantial increase in
subscriber base. The expansion in the rural areas, however, has increased the risk
of further decline in the ARPUs. Nonetheless the revenue growth from these
regions is unlikely to match the surge in the subscriber base.
Excessive Competition
Another major concern that has come to the forefront in the recent past has been
heightened competitive intensity in the industry that has correspondingly fueled
the price war between industry players. The Indian wireless market is one of the
world’s most competitive markets, with 12 operators across 23 wireless ‘circles’
and 6 to 8 competing operators in each circle. The auction of new 4G licenses and
the introduction of mobile number portability (MNP) are likely to heat up
competition in the industry, going forward.
Spectrum is the most important resource that is required for providing mobile
services. Given that spectrum is a finite resource, the availability of the same
would be inversely proportional to the number of operators. Thus, larger the
number of service providers smaller will be the amount of spectrum available to
each of them.
46
growing usage of spectrum and the resultant scarcity may lead to re-use of
spectrum and increase chances of congestion in networks leading to constraints on
service quality.
Evidently, the competition in the industry is expected to intensify further with the
entry of new players, both domestic as well as foreign players. With the
competitive intensity of the industry already at such high levels new operators
might find it difficult to gather significant share in Indian telecom market. While
the new players may benefit from a faster network rollout through tower sharing,
they will face challenges in terms of high subscriber acquisition costs and lower
ARPU customers.
Spectrum Allocation
4G Spectrum availability is one of the major concerns for the industry. Lack of
adequate spectrum which is the most integral part of the mobile telephony sector
could hamper its growth severely. However, the spectrum allotment has been the
most controversial issues in the Indian telecom sector.
The smooth process of scheduled 4G spectrum allocation is likely to be one of the
key factors affecting the industry dynamics, going forward. Given the highly-
competitive nature of the Indian telecom industry on one hand, and limited
47
licenses in the 4G network on the other, the risk of excessive biding by the service
providers has increased. Irrational bidding, especially in some circles, might
render 4G services financially-unviable. Further, there exists a risk of delay in
allotment of proposed spectrum to the service providers who have successfully
bid for the 4G spectrum
48
SCOPE OF STUDY
This study covers customers about Reliance JIO in the areas of Navi Mumbai.
The study makes effort to ascertain the satisfaction level of customer of Reliance
JIO. Through survey So that company would be able to come up to the
expectation level of its customer.
The company can come up to the expectation only by finding out the problem that
customer is facing during their purchase of Reliance JIO products.
The subject has been taken for the research as it plays key role in the success of
Telecom sector.
No company can think of selling their product without having satisfied customer.
No company can survive in long run without coming up to the satisfaction level of
customer.
49
In short it is the level of satisfaction that is link between end-user and company. If
the company can satisfy its customer, customer would remain in the bracket of
loyal customer.
Hence it is very essential to understand the customer satisfaction and to measure
the satisfaction level time to time as there is always scope of improvement.
The research will also be beneficial in analyzing the overall market position of the
company and measures which should be adopted by the Reliance JIO to increase
their market share in the region of Navi Mumbai.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN:
The purpose of the methodology is to design the research procedure. This includes the
overall design, the sampling procedure, the data collection method and analysis
procedure.
Marketing research is the systematic gathering recoding and analyzing of data about
problem retaining to the marketing of goods and services.
The essential purpose of marketing research is to provide information, which will
facilitate the identification of an opportunity of problem situation and to assist
manager in arriving at the best possible decisions when such situations are
encountered.
Basically, there are two types of researches, which per their applicability, strength,
weaknesses, and requirements used before selecting proper type of research, their
suitability must be seen with respect to a specific problem two general types of
researches are exploratory and conclusive.
1.Descriptive Research:
Descriptive research is used to describe characteristics of a population or
phenomenon being study. Descriptive research generally precedes explanatory
research. The descriptive research is used for frequencies, averages and other
statistical calculations.
The type of research here is “Descriptive Research Design”. This kind of design
is used for more precise investigation or of developing the working hypothesis
from an operational point of view. It has inbuilt flexibility, which is needed
because the research problem, broadly defined initially, is transformed into one
with more precise meaning in exploratory studies, which in fact may necessitate
changes in research procedure for gathering relevant data.
54
The characteristic features of research are as follows: –
⮚ Flexible Design
⮚ Non-Probability Sampling Design
⮚ No pre-planned design for analysis
⮚ Unstructured instruments for collection of data
⮚ No fixed decisions about the operational procedures
Sample Size
Sample size refers to the numbers of respondent’s researcher have selected for the
survey.
I have selected 300 sample units from market and individual customers.
Sampling Technique
The sample design provides information on the target information and final
sample sizes. I used conveyed convenient sampling surveyed in research.
Sampling Area:
55
Data collection tool
Primary Source: Primary data was collected directly from the customers through a
questionnaire.
● Structured non disguised questionnaire
● Structured disguised questionnaire.
Secondary Source: The secondary source was the company website and my
colleagues.
I have used Questionnaire, as the research instrument to conduct the market
survey. The questionnaire consisted closed endedquestions designed in such a
way that it should gather maximum information possible.
The questionnaire was a combination of 15 questions. If choices are given it is
easier for the respondent to respond from the choices rather they think and reply
also it takes lesser time. Because the keep on responding and one has tick mark
the right choice accordingly.
Data was collected through two sources:
Method of sampling
Convenient sampling is used to do sampling as all the customers in the sites are
Surveyed.
Data Analysis
Data analysis was done mainly from the data collected through the customers.
The data
Collected from secondary sources is also used to analyse on one parameter.
Qualitative analysis was done on the data collected from the primary as well as
secondary
56
Sources.

79
FINDINGS

80
LIMITATIONS
81
LIMITATIONS
1. The first problem I faced is in getting the co-operation of the customers. Many of
the respondents I approached did not agree to the need and utility of the project
and hence did not agree to provide me with information.
3. As the sample size of the survey was so small and comprise of only 300
customers, the results may have some prone to errors.
82
