Dhirubhai's Dream
Late Dhirubhai Ambani built Reliance from scratch to be in the reckoning for a place in the Global Fortune 500 list. This achievement is even more significant due to the fact, that the entire growth was achieved in an organic manner and in a span of just 25 years. Dhirubhai was not just firmly rooted in traditional Indian values, but was also a quintessentially modern man -the man of the new millennium. This was clearly reflected in his passion for mega-sized projects, the most advanced technology and the highest level of productivity. The corporate philosophy he followed was short simple and succinct "Think big. Think differently. Think fast. Think ahead. Aim for the best". He inspired the Reliance team to do better than the best -not only in India\ but also in the world. Dhirubhai Ambani, Founder Chairman of the Reliance Group, had an acute sense that education alone empowers people. He was a great communicator. He communicated to inspire, to guide, to educate and to motivate. He employed telephone as a powerful tool to achieve these goals. He used telephone to defeat distance, to compress time and to remain abreast of events. He was acutely aware of the power of information and communications. He would often say: I 'make the tools of infocomm available to people at an affordable cost, they will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility'. He wanted a telephone call to be cheaper than a post card. This, he believed, would transform every home, empower every Indian, remove the roadblocks to opportunity and demolish the barriers that divide our society. Dhirubhai Ambani was of the conviction that infocomm would energies enterprises, galvanize governance, make livelihood an enjoyment, Learning an experience, and living an excitement.

CDMA-TECHNOLOGY

CDMA is short for Code Division Multiple Access, which uses multiple frequencies for transmission of voice and data. Simply put, it differs from GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) in the way voice gets carried from one phone to the other. Because of the way it Assembles multiple voice into the same frequency, COMA increases voice clarity. the technology also helps you receives calls when the signal is week. Imagine a locked room where you and your friend are talking to each other. The room then, is exclusive to you. Now imagine the room as a frequency band. This is how GSM network. In CDMA, however, the same locked room will have several pairs of friends talking to each other, but each of the conversations will be scrambled, thus ensuring privacy .because COMA uses the same frequency to accommodate several conversations by using multiple transmitters, the usage of available bandwidth can be optimized, leading to higher traffic density without the accompanying problems of failed calls. this also gives COMA service providers the flexibility to provide data and video services. CDMA was invented during world war 2nd when allied forces wanted to get past the Germans by sending coded messages over different frequencies and giving them ability to be accessed from different points Hence "coded Division Multiple Access."

Value Added Services


HUTCH and RIM users were asked to rate HUTCH TV and R WRLD respectively On the basis of these ratings comparison between HUTCH TV and R WORLD was made. Both R WORLD and HUTCH TV were rated excellent by 20% users

HUTCH TV got a better response in Bareilly than R World . This may be because the numbers of users surveyed for Hutch were very low.

Reason for using RIM


The reason most apparent for using RIM is Low Call Rates.

Apart form low call rates none of the reason seem to form a major driving force for using RIM. Thus RIM should concentrate on improving its R WORLD services and creating more awareness for the service.

RETAILER SPEAK
While surveying the retailers I made certain observations regarding retailers interest information level and suggestions (Problems, Complaints, and grievances). We know that a customer wants everything for nothing and since these retailers are the primary customers for the company their demands and wants are diverse. The diversity in these demands makes it practically impossible for the company to fulfill and satisfy them. Since any unfulfilled demand leads to dissatisfaction, it becomes significant to scan these demands I wants and satisfy those which are relevant and practically feasible in order to keep the satisfaction level high. Let's have a look at the following: The latest schemes that are launched by the company are not known or known late. POP material is not supplied despite several requisitions. Advertising is the main source of information. Retailers show less interest in selling SIM cards. They prefer to sell recharge coupons. Less number of exclusive retail outlets. Poor customer feedback to retailers. Information level of retailers is average not very good. Competition in the market specially with AIRTEL, HUTCH, IDEA. No credit facility allowed to retailers. Visit of beat boys in some areas like Kanker Khera, Brahmpuri, and Shastri Nagar is less as compared to other areas. Dropping sale of SIM cards. Highly satisfied with dealer services. Frequent visit of company officials. Talk time should be increased. Number of retailers should be reduced so that they do not compete with each other. Some of the retailers complained that rates of SIM cards & recharge vouchers are

Different from various retailers which is very discouraging. It should be same for each and every retailer. Less number of schemes as compare to IDEA. RELIANCE is the most preferred brand by the most walking customers. Unsatisfactory profit margin. No Networking problems in the city.

Given above is the brief idea of what retailers face and feel. Some of the above mentioned points are so common that the company requires taking immediate steps to do away with them if it has to win retailers confidence.

CONCLUSION
The finding of this project really indicates the conclusion that goes like this- "Though RELIANCE INDIA MOBILE communications has a strong and influential presence in the market the retailers are losing interest in its business"

REASON:
Increasing competition is acting like funnel for dissatisfaction to pour down in the retailer's hearts. Other companies are numerically more attractive than reliance, which is a bit slow in adopting the changes in environment and a slow change is no change. For example: -if we see the findings -a majority of retailers had less than 20 81M cards which expose their hesitation in blocking their money for a product that yields nominal profits. Rather they would like to invest the amount in any other company's cards or vouchers that bring in profits as much as price. And for a person who is in business profits means a lot. On a contrary, there are a few companies -loyal also who too face the troubles. They strongly feel the necessity of a major shift now. If the situation persists how long they will be with the company is not difficult to imagine. Concluding the topic it goes without saying that there has been a significant drop in the level of retailer's satisfaction and information level with the company's services. This is particularly more so due to the presence of some big banners such as IDEA & AIRTEL...No doubt RELIANCE is still number one in western U.P. But the increasing market share of AIRTEL & IDEA could give a sleepless nights to the RELIANCE in future if the 'situation remains the same.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The survey which I conducted gave me the impression that RELIANCE is facing a tough competition with AIRTEL & IDEA and resulting in decline in sales and also in retailers confidence on HUTCH. Therefore I feel that some minor changes in the company's policies and working patterns would work as a boon to win back the retailer's confidence. First of all the company should keep strict eye on its sales people and their working style. Make sure that the latest company's schemes and offers reach the retailers on time. The POP material should be designed in such a way that they contributed to create a good ambience of the retailer shop. Therefore the sale people should be instructed to place these POP in proper place to attract more & more customers. A good ambience created by the POP materials also can motivate the retailers. It is seen that the customers who purchase handset from one store would like to purchase SIM card from that store. So company should focus on these retailers. The company should organize regular company retailers meet where retailers can express Themselves freely. On the occasion the company may also felicitate the target achievers, Which in turn will boost up their morale? To increase the information level of the retailers, the company should also organize regular workshop to train the retailers, which in turn can help retailers to give answers to all the queries of the customers so that retailers can communicate properly about benefits of using RELIANCE over its competitors. To motivate retailers the company should offer retailers various gifts and offer on regular basis.

It is seen that the promotional activities of reliance is not so intense as its competitors. The company should invest more in these activities like advertising on print media or television etc. To face the GSM players like IDEA, the company should communicate properly with customers to tell them about the benefits of COMA Technology and also about hidden cost that involves in the competitors latest offer but all should be done in ethical ways. RELIANCE should look for exploring the unexplored but potential areas to establish as a national player which would also bring more credibility about the company. All the aforesaid recommendations are purely based on my own experience still they are viable enough for the company to give them a thought.

LIMITATIONS
Like my other report this report also has some limitation beyond which the scope of the project nullifies. A report is never a complete piece of work since its result cannot be universally attributed to the entire population. Similarly, the present project report attempts to explore the necessary details under the specifically mentioned boundaries and, thus, it cannot represent the whole universe in any way. Given below are some of the major limitations.

1. The findings mentioned here in are totally that of the Bareilly city and, hence, they cannot reflect the trends that other circles / cities of reliance are showing. 2. The sample size that was 300 may be too small to draw any conclusion based on it. A small sample size was chosen for the time factor. 3. As the respondents hesitated in providing accurate information some biasness on their part might have crept in. 4. Time factor also has its bearing on the report because it had to be completed within the stipulated time period. Sparing some more time could have made it better. 5. The information related to tariffs etc, contained in the report may be outdated by the time it is presented due to highly competitive & dynamic market conditions.
