After the globalization of India economy in 1991 the telecommunication sector remained one of the
most happening sectors in India. The recent years 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.

A consumer may be referred to anyone engaged in evaluating, acquiring, using or disposing of services
which he expects will satisfy his wants. If any producer makes out the marketing programmer ignoring
the consumer preferences, he cannot possibly achieve his ultimate objectives. A manufacturer must plan
his production and distribution to suit the consumer’s convenience rather than his own. Therefore a
marketer must know more and more about the consumers, so that the products can be produced in such
a fashion to give satisfaction to them.

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 lakh. 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 companyis 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

Jio Company, whose full name is Reliance Jio Infocom Limited, is doing business in the network
and telecommunication market with its short name 'Jio' only. Jio Limited, which is headquartered in

1
Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, operates the LTE (Long-term Evolution) network at the national
level, and it is a subsidiary of Jio Platforms. This company operates its 4G LTE network by providing
coverage across all 22 telecom circles of India. In its Research and Development Sector, Jio Limited
company is working toward offering 5G and 6G networks in India, but currently, this company is
offering only 4G and 4G+ network services in India.
Jio Soft, which is a subsidiary of Jio Limited company, launched its beta version on 27 December 2015
for its employees & business partners, and later on 5 September 2016, it became available publicly.
Currently, Jio Limited is not only the largest network and telecommunication operator in India but also
the third-largest in the world. The company's current customer base is more than
42.62 crore (426.2 million). For offering home broadband, telephone, and television services, Jio
Limited company launched a fiber-to-home service in September 2019. In the year 2020, Reliance
Industries sold off almost 33% stakes in its Jio Limited subsidiary and raised nearly ?1.65 lakh crore
(USD 22 billion) by the month of September.

On 15 February 2007, Jio Limited company was registered as IBSL (Infotel Broadband Services
Limited) in Ambawadi Tehsil of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. After three years of its foundation, more
than 95% stake of the Infotel Broadband Services Limited company was bought by RIL (Reliance
Industries Limited) in the year 2010 for INR 4800 Cr (which is equivalent to INR 91 billion or USD
1.2 Billion as in 2020). Even though ISBL was not a listed company, it was the only company in the 4G
auctions that took place early in 2010 that managed to win broadband spectrum in all 22 telecom circles
of India. Infotel Broadband Services Limited later continued as a subsidiary of the Reliance
Industries Limited till the end of 2012, but in January 2013, as a part of strategic planning of
Reliance Industries Limited to capture the maximum customers from the network and
telecommunication market, this subsidiary was renamed as Reliance Jio Limited. Two years after
the renaming of the company to Reliance Jio Limited, in June 2015, this company announced that it
would be commencing its operations by the end of the year. But there were many obstacles and other
problems in the company's way, which led them to postpone the commencing of their operations to
the first quarter of the financial year (FY) 2017, i.e., 2016-17.

In the year 2015, an NGO (Non-government Organization) known as the Centre for Public Interest
Litigation filed a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) in June in the apex court of India, Supreme Court of
India, with the help of Prashant Bhushan. Through this PIL, the NGO was trying to challenge the
decision of the Government of India as to how they have granted the PAN-India license for network

2
and telecommunication to Jio Limited. Through this PIL, the NGO also alleged that the company or the
firm was being allowed by the Government of India to provide 4G data services along with the voice
telephony to its customers. The exact allegations in PIL were mentioned that the Government of India
was only paid an additional fee of USD 22 million (INR 166 crore Approx) for providing the voice
telephony services along with the 4G data services. According to this allegation, the Government of
India had contributed to the loss of USD 300 million (approx INR 2284 Crores) by charging such an
unreasonable, arbitrary, and very less fee to the company. However, the Indian DoT (Department of
Telecommunication) had explained in the court that BWA winners were not restricted from providing
the voice telephony services as per the rules for BWA and 3G spectrum. As a result of this explanation
from the Indian DoT in the court, the accusations in the court were dismissed, and the PIL filed by the
NGO was revoked
The company launched the 4G data and calling network and telecommunication services internally for
its organization and as the plan for the final testing phase on December 27, 2015. After three quarters
of launching the services internally in the organization, Jio Limited finally launched the 4G services
commercially on September 5, 2016. When Reliance Jio launched its network and telecommunication
services commercially in the market, it offered free data and calling services for more than 6 months
(till 31st March 2017) for all its users. This was part of the strategy of the company to attract a maximum
number of users from the market and make a strong presence in the market from the very first day of
the launch. As part of the plan, the company, during their official launch event, announced that they
would be offering free data and calling services to all the users till the end of the year (31st December
2016), but later, to attract more customer base, the company extended the offer till one more quarter,
i.e., 31st March 2017. This plan got so successful, and the company was able to attract more than 16
million users from the Indian market within the first month of its launch. The company's success further
continued after the launch, and it easily managed to cross the mark of 50 million (5 crores) subscribers
in just 83 days. The company also managed to cross the mark of 100 million (10 crores) subscribers
very easily in the Indian market on February 22, 2017. As per the latest data, the company is speedily
moving towards reaching the goal of crossing 200 million subscribers in the Indian market.

Jio Limited: Products and Services Offered


Reliance Jio Limited company is one of the biggest companies in India in today's time, which has not
launched its IPO yet. Even without offering an IPO in the share market, the company portfolio is very
large and is one of the most preferred companies by investors and big corporates. Many big names from
the investment corporates are very much interested in buying shares in Jio Limited company because
of the strong presence and hold of the company in the Indian telecommunication and network market.

but now the company has increased its services list and offers multiple types of products to its
customers. These multiple types of products and services offered by a company not only make a strong
impact on the existing customers but also attract various new
customers. Following is the list of some most popular products and services offered by Jio Limited
company with a brief description of each of them:

(1) Mobile Broadband:

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
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, according to Cellular Operators Association
of India (COAI).

In August 1995, the Chief Minister of Bengal, Jyoti Basu made their first mobile phone call in India to
the Union Telecom Minister Sukhram. Sixteen years later 4G services were launched in Kolkata in
2012. India primarily follows the GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) mobile system, in
the 900MHz band.
According to recent strategic research by Frost & Sullivan, Indian Cellular Service Market, suchgrowth
rates can be greatly attributed to the drastically falling price of handsets, with price playing a
fundamental role in Indian subscriber requiremen ts. 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 (approx.Rs10,000) 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.
With the presence of a number of mobile telephony services providers including market leaders like
Airtel, Reliance, Idea Cellular, BSNL etc. who are providing either of the two network technologies
such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access
(CDMA). In cellular service there are two main competing network technologies: Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Understanding the
difference between GSM and CDMA will allow the user to choose the preferable network technology
for his needs.
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
cell 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.
Before analyzing the telecom licensing framework in India, it is imperative that one must examine what
is a license. License issued by the government is an authority, given to a person upon certain conditions
to do something which would have been illegal or wrongful otherwise. For example, a driver’s license
issued by the government, gives the authority to a person to drive a motor vehicle. Licensing framework
has been an integral part of India’s telecommunication law. Under this Indian Telegraph Act, 1885,
section 4 gives power to the government to grant the license to any person to establish, maintain or use
a telegraph.

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) describes a communication channel access principle that
employs spread spectrum technology and a special coding scheme (where each transmitter is assigned
a code). It is a spread spectrum signaling, since the modulated coded signal has a much higher
bandwidth than the data being communicated. CDMA is the current name for mobile technology and is
characterized by high capacity and small cell radius. It has been used in many communication and
navigation systems, including the Global Positioning System and the Omnitracs satellite system for
transportation logistics.
Indian mobile telephony market is increasing day by day and there is more to happen with technological
up gradations occurring nearly every day and the ever-increasing demand for easier and faster
connectivity, the mobile telephony market is expected to race ahead.

According to 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

NATIONAL TELECOM POLICY 1994 (NTP 1994):-


The National Telecom Policy was announced in 1994 which aimed at improving India's
competitiveness in the global market and provide a base for a rapid growth in exports.
This policy eventually facilitated the emergence of Internet services in India on the back
of established basic telephony communication network. This policy also paved way for
the entry of the private sector in telephone services.

The main objectives of the policy were:

9
 To ensure telecommunication is within the reach of all, that is, to ensure availability
of telephone on demand as early as possible

 To achieve universal service covering all villages, that is, enable all people to access
certain basic telecom services at affordable and reasonable prices

 To ensure world-class telecom services. Remove consumer complaints, resolve


disputes and encourage public interface and provide a wide permissible range of
services to meet the demand at reasonable prices

 To ensure that India emerges as a major manufacturing base and major exporter of
telecom equipment

 To protect the defence and security interests of the nation.


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.
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 up 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.

Establishment of TRAI
The entry of private players necessitated independent regulation in the sector; therefore,
the TRAI was established in 1997 to regulate telecom services, for fixation/revision of
tariffs, and also to fulfil the commitments made when India joined the World Trade
Organization (WTO) in 1995. The establishment of TRAI was a positive step as it
separated the regulatory function from policy-making and operation, which continued to
be under the purview of the DoT2.

The functions allotted to the TRAI included:

a. To recommend the need and timing for introduction of new service provider
b. To protect the interest of customers of telecom services
c. To settle disputes between service providers
d. To recommend the terms and conditions of license to a service provider
e. To render advice to the Central government on matters relating to the development of
telecommunication technology and any other matter applicable to the telecommunication
industry in general.

10
NEW TELECOM POLICY 1999 (NTP 1999):-
In recognition of the fact that the entry of the private sector, which was envisaged during
NTP94, was not satisfactory and in response to the concerns of the private operators and
investors about the viability of their business due to non realization of targeted revenues
the government decided to come up with a new telecom policy. The most important
milestone and instrument of telecom reforms in India is the New Telecom Policy 1999
(NTP 99). The New Telecom Policy, 1999 (NTP-99) was approved on 26th March 1999,
to become effective from 1st April 1999.Moreover, convergence of both markets and
technologies required realignment of the industry. To achieve India’s vision of becoming
an IT superpower along with developing a world class telecom infrastructure in the
country, there was a need to develop a new telecom policy framework. Accordingly, the
NTP 1999 was framed with the following objectives and targets:

 Availability of affordable and effective communication for citizens was at the core of the vision
and goal of the new telecom policy
 Provide a balance between provision of universal service to all uncovered areas, including rural
areas, and the provision of high-level services capable of meeting the needs of the economy
 Encourage development of telecommunication facilities in remote, hilly and tribal areas of the
nation
 To facilitate India’s journey to becoming an IT superpower by creating a modern and efficient
telecommunication infrastructure taking into account the convergence of IT, media, telecom
and consumer electronics
 Convert PCOs, wherever justified, into public telephone information centers having multimedia
capability such as ISDN services, remote database access, government and community
information systems etc.
 To bring about a competitive environment in both urban and rural areas by providing equal
opportunities and level playing field for all players
 Providing a thrust to build world-class manufacturing capabilities and also strengthen research
and development efforts in the country

 Achieve efficiency and transparency in spectrum management ➢ Protect the defense and
security interests of the country
 Enable Indian telecom companies to become global players.

The services were beta launched to Jio's partners and employees on 27 December 2015 on the eve of
83rd birth anniversary of late Dhirubhai Ambani, founder of Reliance Industries.
Mr. Akash Ambani is being launched in business as a chief of strategy in Reliance JIO,involved in day
to day operations in business or Ms. Isha Ambani is involved in branding and marketing. And the key
people are Sanjay Mashruwalla (Managing Director), Jyotindra Tacker (Head of IT).
Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani committed an investment of Rs. 2,50,000 crores on
"Digital India" and said he expected the group's initiatives 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 JIO 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,"
According to 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.
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 ones mobile phone.
It automatically solves the problem of eavesdropping on ones calls. Before analyzing the telecom
licensing framework in India, it is imperative that one must examine what is a license. License issued
by the government is an authority, given to a person upon certain conditions to do something which
would have been illegal or wrongful otherwise. For example, a driver’s license issued by the
government, gives the authority to a person to drive a motor vehicle. There are three main types of
license fee which the government charges: (I) initial license fee, which generally is nonrefundable, (ii)
annual license fee, and (iii) additional fee for allocation of spectrum.
Licensing framework has been an integral part of India’s telecommunication law. Under the Indian
Telegraph Act, 1885, section 4 gives power to the government to grant license to any person to establish,
maintain or use a telegraph.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM

Even though the sector has reflected promising growth, the tele density in India still 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 as
a result 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

22
Rapidly Falling ARPU (Average revenue per user)
The competitive intensity in the telecom industry in India is one of the highest in the world and has lead
to sustained fall in realisation 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.

Lack of Telecom Infrastructure


Lack of telecom infrastructure in semi-rural and rural areas could be one of the major
hindrances in tapping the huge rural potential market, going forward. The service
providers have to incur a huge initial fixed cost to enter rural service areas. Further, as
many rural areas in India lack basic infrastructure such as road and power, developing
telecom infrastructure in these areas involve greater logistical risks and also extend the
time taken to roll out telecom services. The lack of trained personnel in the rural area to
operate and maintain the cellular infrastructure, especially passive infrastructure such as
towers, is also seen as a hurdle for extending telecom services to the under penetrated
rural areas.

Rural Areas Continue to Remain Under Penetrated


A rural teledensity of merely 15% point towards the fact that a majority of 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 teledensity, 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 heightened competitive intensity in the industry that has correspondingly fuelled the
price war between industry players. The Indian wireless market is one of the world’s most
competitive major concern that has come to the forefront in the recent past has been markets,
with 12 operators across 23 wireless ‘circles’ and 6 to 8 competing operators in each circle. The
auction of new 4G licences and the introduction of mobile number portability (MNP) are likely
to heat up competition in the industry, going forward.

23
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.

Scarcity of spectrum leads to higher capex on deployment of mobile networks for the operators
as they need more cell sites to improve service quality. Further the 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

Lower Broadband Penetration


The Indian economy remains highly underpenetrated in terms of broadband connections. High cost of
devices (PC and laptop), high internet charges and lower wireline connections have been some of the
major factors inhibiting broadband penetration. Broadband is one of the key catalysts for economic
development and major initiatives by both the government and service providers are needed to increase
its penetration.

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 Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL)
in January 2013.

Technology

Reliance Jio Infocomm is currently laying OFC across the country to offer Fiber to the
home/premises (FTTH). This fiber backbone will also help them to carry huge amount
of data originated from their 4G network as well as public Wi-Fi network.

Reliance Jio is deploying LTE-TDD technology for 2.3 GHz spectrum band, acquired in
2010.

Reliance Jio will deploy LTE-FDD for 1.8 GHz spectrum, which will ultimately paved
to roll out of LTE-A network aggregation of both technology and both spectrum band.

At present in different cities of India Reliance Jio offers Wi-Fi services. Most of these
cities are in Gujarat, where Reliance Industries also have one of the largest petrorefinery.

Once commercially launched, Jio users can have access to Reliance Communications’
2G & 3G network.
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is an Indian conglomerate holding company headquartered in
Mumbai. It was founded by Dhirubhai Ambani in 1966 and is currently run by his sons Mukesh
Ambani and Anil Ambani.
Reliance JIO Infocomm Limited established a new-age internet brand commonly known as Jio, which
is an Indian telecommunications company wholly owned by RIL. It operates a national LTE network
with coverage across all 22 telecom circles in India.
Jio also offers fixed-wireless broadband services, digital landline service, and
entertainment throughits apps like JioTV and Jio Cinema. The company had a customer420 million
subscribersbase of over and has even launched 5G services
Examining Jio Marketing Strategies
Reliance JIO's marketing strategy has been highly effective in attracting users and driving the adoption
of its 4G network. The company has used a multi-pronged approach that includes heavy discounts on
data plans, freebies, attractive promotional offers, extensive advertising, and partnerships with leading
companies. Additionally,

25
Diversification & Integration Strategy
Reliance JIO didn't restrict itself to just one network but instead focused onbrand development by
broadening and consolidating into various lines of business which would help
generate and maintain demand for their target consumers, particularly, internet users. Their entry into
various new services such as Jio Fiber, and Jio Postpaid has further encouraged their superior control
over the market share - presently standing at higher than 35%. Jio's complete offerings comprise instant
messaging, mobile network, house broadband services(Jio Fiber), prime membership, and
Smartphones.

Jio offered 4 G-supported mobile phones:


Later, Jio recognized that 4G smartphones were a hurdle for users to access its network. As a result, it
invested heavily in the production of affordable 4 G-supported mobile phones and sim cards. Reliance
Jio's own LYF range of smartphones provides basic mobile services at a much lower price than rival
brands.

Single-app platform:
Jio introduced the Jio+ app that combines all the services offered by the company. Users can book
flights, pay bills, and store documents on this single-app platform. This gives customers more
convenience with their digital activities such as shopping, banking, and entertainment.

Digital Wallet:
In 2017, Reliance JIO launched its own wallet service calledJio Money Wallet. It enabled customers
to securely transfer money and transact conveniently..

Data sharing:
Relying on its expansive 4G (now 5G) network, Reliance JIO launched data-sharing plans where
multiple people can use one internet connection without any hassle or extra cost.

Pricing
The company's strategy was simple yet effective: it offered free data and unlimited calls for four months
to new users. This attracted millions of customers and put immense pressure on its competitors.

➢ Reliance JIO's cut-throat pricing was one of the main reasons for its phenomenal success in
India's telecom industry. Jio's 4G plans started at as low as 19 per day, which was significantly
lower than what its competitors were offering. This caused a massive influx of customers to
Jio, leading to the collapse of many smaller telecom companies. Even the big players in the
industry, such as Vodafone India and Airtel India, were forced to revise their strategies in order
to compete with Jio.

Digital marketing strategy of Reliance JIO Infocomm limited


Any business strategy should include digital marketing. Done right, digital marketing can boost your
return on investment. If done wrong, you're wasting your marketing budget. Jio has had a significant
impact in revolutionizing India's digital ecosystem through its aggressive marketing strategy and
innovative products.
Reliance JIO has partnered with leading e-commerce and content platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart,
Hotstar, Google, and Microsoft to offer their services at discounted rates to Jio customers. These

26
partnerships have made Jio's 4G network the most popular platform for accessing digital services in
India.

Customer acquisition
Reliance JIO's customer acquisition strategy was simple but effective. Jio offered free services including
data and voice services for a period of three months to all potential customers who signed up for its
service.
This attracted a lot of users, who were then able to experience the quality of Jio's network. After the free
trial period ended, many users were happy with the service and decided to continue using it, becoming
paying customers.
This marketing strategy was very innovative and helped Reliance JIO gain a large number of customers
in a short period of time. It also disrupted the Indian telecom industry, which was until then dominated
by a few large companies.

Moment marketing strategy of Jio


JIO has always been at the forefront of moment marketing. The JIO team’s marketers have always
jumped on the bandwagon to catch their attention. JIO has used trending topics and events to create
communication and impressions that last longer among the audience.
One of the most important aspects of moment marketing is being relevant to what’s happening in the
world. This allows you to show that you’re a brand that cares about current events and is invested in
what’s going on.
JIO has done an excellent job of this by creating marketing collateral around trending topics and events.
For example, when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced demonetization, Jio was quick to
create a TV commercial showing how its digital payment platform could help people during this time
of transition.
Finally, it’s important to make sure that your moment marketing strategy is aligned with your overall
brand values. Jio has done a great job of this by promoting its digital offerings as a way to become more
digitally empowered. By doing so, JIO has managed to create an image of itself as being progressive
and helping people get access to the latest technologies.
Overall, JIO’s moment marketing strategy is effective because it relies on timely, relevant content that
reinforces brand values. By leveraging the power of trending topics and events, the brand has been able
to reach its audience quickly and effectively.

Reliance JIO's Social media strategy


Jio created its own channels on all social media platforms and produced a large amount of original
content, increasing its social media presence at the same time. This content was then distributed across
various platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Jio also partnered with popular
influencers in India to promote its brand.
Youtube Market Strategy

Jio's is one of the most popular channels with over 3.29 million subscribers.
The channel features a variety of content including user testimonials, promotional videos, and
educational videos about the service. User testimonials are a key part of Jio's YouTube strategy

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 according to 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. Conclusive Research:
It is also known as quantitative research; it is designed to help executives of action that is to make
decision.

When a marketing executive makes a decision are course of action is being selected from among
a number of available. The alternatives may be as few as two or virtually infinite. They may be
well defined or only vaguely glimpsed.

Conclusive research provides information, which helps the executives make a rational decision.
In some instances, particularly if any experiment is run, the research may come close to specifying
the precise alternatives to choose, in their cases especially with descriptive studies the research will
only particularly clarify the situation and much will be left to the executive’s judgment.

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.

28
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

NEED FOR THE STUDY

Research methodology is mainly needed for the purpose of framing the research process and the designs
and tools that are to be used for the project purpose. Research methodology helps to find the customer
experience towards network. This time research methodology is framed for the purpose of finding the
level of consumer perception and changing trends of the customer expectations.

Nature of data
Primary and Secondary data is collected in order to obtain relevant information to conduct the research.
Primary data: Data was collected from the users of JIO sim cards using a questionnaire. Secondary data:
Data was collected by browsing internet, magazines, articles related to JIO sim cards in India.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The Research measures the experiences of customers.


Defines and analyses the experiences based on key deliverables.
Gains insights into customer expectations.
Customer experiences how customers engage with company and brand throughout the entire arc of
being a customer.

29
Sample Size
Sampling maybe defined as the selection of some part of aggregate or totality based on which a
judgement or inference about the aggregate or totality is made. The items so selected which constitute
of what technically is called sample is known as Sample Size. Since this research was confined to
limited area and limited size of people, the sample size for the project was of 40 people.

Since Jio is used by almost everyone today there were many people included under the sample size.
Group of people such as servicemen, Businessmen, kirana store owners, housewives, students, support
staff, and teachers.

To get a overall view of the entire project these varied group of people were surveyed. Every person has
their own different need for using internet hence was surveyed amongst such people.

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:
While conducting sample,I went many places of Shimla.

Method of Sampling-
The method used for collecting primary data from sample population is ‘Non-Probability
Sampling’. The collection was done on the basis of ‘Judgmental’ and ‘Snowball’
Sampling’.

30
Data collection tool
I have used Questionnaire, as the research instrument to conduct the market survey. The questionnaire
consisted closed ended questions 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.

Collection of Data: -

Sources of data
Primary data is collected by using questionnaire. Secondary data is also used in the study for
understanding the concepts from journals and websites.
Primary Data: -
Primary data refers to information that is generated to meet the specific requirements of the investigation
at hand. The researcher collects primary data himself. In this research, surveying 40 people collected
primary data. Simple questions on the experience of Jiosimcard were asked to people and thus a data
was collected and maintained.

Secondary Data: -
Secondary data is information that is collected for a purpose other than to solve the specific problem
under investigation. Someone collects secondary data else for some other purpose (but being utilized
by investigator for another purpose). In this research, the secondary data was collected from certain
articles and links from the internet.

31
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
