INTRODUCTION
Customer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how
products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.
Customer satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total
customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings)
exceeds specified satisfaction goals."
In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service
has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction.
When customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be
disappointed and will likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a
luxury resort, for example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a budget motel
even though its facilities and service would be deemed superior in absolute terms.
A study on customer satisfaction regarding reliance communication services: It
means a depth study of satisfaction level of customer regarding services provide by
reliance communication. So in simple words this is a critical analyses with the help of
the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience
with reliance communication .
In these days the main objective of business is the customer
satisfaction and to meet the customer expectation by providing reliable services and
products because customer is the king of todays market.
Customer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects. They focus employees on the
importance of fulfilling customers expectations. Furthermore, when these ratings dip,
5

they warn of problems that can affect sales and profitability. These metrics quantify an
important dynamic. When a brand has loyal customers, it gains positive word-of-mouth
marketing, which is both free and highly effective.
As research on consumption experiences grows, evidence suggests that consumers
purchase goods and services for a combination of two types of benefits: hedonic and
utilitarian. Hedonic benefits are associated with the sensory and experiential attributes of
the product. Utilitarian benefits of a product are associated with the more instrumental
and functional attributes of the product.
Customer satisfaction provides a leading indicator of consumer purchase
intentions and loyalty. Customer satisfaction data are among the most frequently
collected indicators of market perceptions. Their principal use is twofold.
Within organizations, the collection, analysis and dissemination of these data send a
message about the importance of tending to customers and ensuring that they have a
positive experience with the companys goods and
Although sales or market share can indicate how well a firm is performing currently,
satisfaction is an indicator of how likely it is that the firms customers will make further
purchases in the future. Much research has focused on the relationship between customer
satisfaction and retention. Studies indicate that the ramifications of satisfaction are most
strongly realized at the extremes. On a five-point scale, individuals who rate their
satisfaction level as 5 are likely to become return customers and might even evangelize
for the firm. (A second important metric related to satisfaction is willingness to
recommend. This metric is defined as "The percentage of surveyed customers who
indicate that they would recommend a brand to friends." When a customer is satisfied
6
-

with a product, he or she might recommend it to friends, relatives and colleagues. This
can be a powerful marketing advantage.) Individuals who rate their satisfaction level as
1, by contrast, are unlikely to return. Further, they can hurt the firm by making negative
comments about it to prospective customers. Willingness to recommend is a key metric
relating to customer satisfaction.

IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
The project I chose was astudy on customer awareness and satisfaction for
reliance communication products.
The title is very much significant considering the present global scenario.
The awareness level is the basic requirement for a company to sell its products in
the market because if the customers are not aware of the products, there would be
no sale
. Along with the awareness, the companies have to keep a regular check on the
satisfaction level of its customers to retain them.
The survey helps to find out the loopholes is the area of service being offered by
the company.
Identifying those areas would help the company to minimize them and then they
can go for increasing customers.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Cygnus Business Consulting & Research Pvt. Ltd. (2008), in its Performance
Analysis of Companies (April-June 2008) has analyzed the Indian telecom industry in
the awake of recent global recession and its overall impact on the Indian economy. With
almost 5-6million subscribers are being added every month, and the country is witnessing
wild momentum in the telecom industry, the Indian telecom industry is expected to
maintain the same growth trajectory.
Internet service providers in India, Rao (2000), provide a broad view of the role of an
Internet service provider (ISP) in a nascent market of India. Building local content,
foreknowledge of new Internet technologies, connecting issues, competitiveness, etc.
would help in their sustainability.
The role of technology in the emergence of the information society in India, Singh
(2005), describes the role that information and communication technologies are playing
for Indian society to educate them formally or informally which is ultimately helping
India to emerge as an information society.
T.H. Chowdary (1999) discusses how Telecom reform, or demonopolization, in India
has been bungled. Shaped by legislation dating back to the colonial era and post Second
World War socialist policies, by the mid-1980s India realized that its poor
19

8/3/2019 Customer Satisfaction 001

telecommunications infrastructure and service needed reform. At the heart of the problem
lay the monopoly by the governments Department of Telecommunications (DOT) in
equipment, networks and services. The National Telecom Policy 1994 spelt out decent
objectives for reform but tragically its implementation was entrusted to the DOT. This
created an untenable situation in which the DOT became policymaker, licenser, regulator,
operator and also arbitrator in disputes between itself and licensed competitors. He
discusses the question: Why did India get it so wrong? and What India should do now?
Thomas (2007), in his article describes the contribution made by telecommunications in
India by the state and civil society to public service, this article aims to identify the
states initial reluctance to recognize telecommunications provision as a basic need as
against the robust tradition of public service aligned to the postal services and finds hope
in the renewal of public service telecommunications via the Right to Information
movement. The article follows the methodology of studying the history of
telecommunications approach that is conversant with the political economy tradition. It
uses archival sources, personal correspondence, and published information as its research
material. The findings of the paper suggests that public service in telecommunication is a
relatively new concept in the annals of Indian telecommunications and that a
deregulated environment along with the Right to Information movement holds significant
hope for making public service telecommunications a real alternative. The article
provides a reflexive, critical account of public service telecommunications in India and
suggests that it can be strengthened by learning gained from the continual renewal of
public service ideals and action by the postal services and a people-based demand model
linked to the Right to Information Movement. All studies done by the researcher suggests
that the right to information movement has contributed to the revitalization of

participatory democracy in India and to a strengthening of public service
telecommunications.
Reliance Communications, MTN end talks (july 18, 2008) : NEW DELHI: Reliance
Communications and South Africa's MTN on Friday mutually ended tie-up talks
after Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries (RIL) on Thursday started
arbitration proceedings against younger brother Anil's RCOM to thwart the latter's
merger with Africa's largest telco.
RCOM said that it is unable to presently conclude the deal due to regulatory issues
The No. 2 mobile carrier in the country has been in exclusive talks with MTN since late
May to create a top-10 global telecoms group spanning about two dozen countries. But a
claim by elder brother Mukesh of first right of refusal on Reliance Communications
shares had complicated prospects for a deal.
Reliance communications Ltd offers 3G services: Indias second-largest mobile phone
company, the Reliance communications Ltd finally decided to roll out their 3G (third-
generation) services and became the first private telecom operator to launch the services.
The services will be started first in 4 major cities, Delhi and Chandigarh in the northern
cities and western Indias Mumbai and Kolkata in the east. The 3G service will expand to

The 3G is the 3rd generation of standards for the mobile phone communication services
which provides faster access to the internet from the mobile phones. The company will
provide 3G plans ranging from Rs. 199 2,499 per month. If you use the Airtel number,
you may be able to use 3G services by the end of this month. Vodafone customers will
have to wait for a long time period because vodafone will launch their services in the first
quarter of next year.
The regional head of Reliance Communications wirelessbusiness, Mr. Vivek K Garg
said, 30 to 40 per cent of the companys subscribers had 3G-enabled phones and many
of them would avail themselves of the new services. He also said, CDMA customers
(of the company) will not only have to change their handsets and SIM cards, but also,
under the present regulations, their mobile numbers, to access 3G services. Reliance
communications Ltd won the bandwidth to offer 3G services in 22 telecom service areas
of India

THEORETICAL PROSPECTIVE
Reliance Telecommunication
The Indian telecommunications industry is one of the fastest growing in the world and
India is projected to become the second largest telecom market globally by 2010.
India added 113.26 million new customers in 2008, the largest globally. In fact, in April
2008, India had already overtaken the US as the second largest wireless market. To put
this growth into perspective, the countrys cellular base witnessed close to 50 per cent
growth in 2008, with an average 9.5 million customers added every month. According to
the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the total number of telephone
connections (mobile as well as fixed) had touched 385 million as of December 2008,
taking the telecom penetration to over 33 per cent. This means that one out of every three
Indians has a telephone connection, and telecom companies expect this pace of growth to
continue in 2009 as well. "We are extremely bullish that the growth will continue in
2009. This year, the number of additions will be in excess of 130 million," according to
T.V. Ramachandran , Director General, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI),
an industry body that represents all Global System for Mobile communications (GSM)
players in India. According to CRISIL Research estimates, eight infrastructure sectors,
which include the telecom sector, are expected to draw more than US$ 345.28 billion
investment in India by 2012.
25

8/3/2019 Customer Satisfaction 001
26/98
With the rural India growth story unfolding, the telecom sector is likely to see
tremendous growth in India's rural and semi-urban areas in the years to come. By 2012,
India is likely to have 200 million rural telecom connections at a penetration rate of 25
per cent. And according to a report jointly released by Confederation of Indian Industry
(CII) and Ernst & Young, by 2012, rural users will account for over 60 per cent of the
total telecom subscriber base.
According to Business Monitor International, India is currently adding 8-10 million
mobile subscribers every month. It is estimated that by mid 2012, around half the
country's population will own a mobile phone. This would translate into 612 million
mobile subscribers, accounting for a tele-density of around 51 per cent by 2012. It is
projected that the industry will generate revenues worth US$ 43 billion in 2009-10.

Reliance Communications and other customers. RTIL is currently a subsidiary of
Reliance Communications. On July 19, 2007 Reliance Communications announced that it
had sold 5% of RTIL to seven international institutional investors for a cash
consideration of US$337.5 million.
Tech Reliance would now operate as a part of Reliance Communications and would be
later seperated off to function as a seperate entity.

Mobile advertising, which is an important VAS segment, offers great potential to become
an important revenue source. Marketers are increasingly using MVAS as a step ahead of
SMS-based marketing to sell soaps and shampoos, banking, insurance products and also
entertainment services, and rural markets are proving to be very receptive for such
marketing.
Further, Venture Capitalists like Canaan Partners, Draper Fisher Juvertson, Helion, and
Nexus India are also innovating with services like mobile payment options, advertising,
voice-based SMS and satellite video streaming.
According to Venture Intelligence, there were nine deals worth US$ 41 million in 2007 in
the mobile VAS space, and till August 2008, seven deals worth US$ 91 million had

Reliance Communications Partners with Microsoft to Deliver IPTV in India on the
Microsoft Mediaroom Platform: Mumbai: Reliance Communications and Microsoft
today announced a strategic partnership to deliver a highly connected, personalized TV
experience to consumers in India through Reliances IPTV service, which will be
powered by the award-winning Microsoft Mediaroom Internet Protocol Television
(IPTV) software platform. The announcement was made by Anil D Ambani, Chairman,
Reliance Communications, and Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, at a press event today
in Mumbai, India. Reliance Communications shall have the exclusive deployment right
for the platform in India.
Reliances IPTV service, powered by the Microsoft Mediaroom platform, will allow
Reliance to deliver entirely new, connected and personalized television experiences for
Indian consumers, with several advanced features, such as video-on-demand (VOD),
40

8/3/2019 Customer Satisfaction 001

digital video recording (DVR), instant channel changing, and personal media sharing.
IPTV subscribers will be able to watch popular standard definition (SD) content as well
as high definition (HD) content - for the first time in India - at the click of a button from
the comfort of their homes, and enjoy a connected entertainment experience that will
soon allow them to watch their favorite shows on their TV or PC. The service will be
launched by fiscal end (March 2008).
As consumers today are becoming more sophisticated, they are demanding more
compelling and personalized entertainment to suit their individual needs and
preferences, said Anil D Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Communications. Until now, TV
has been a broadcast, one-size-fits-all experience. Backed by powerful Microsoft
Mediaroom software, IPTV promises to offer our subscribers more choice, control, and
convenience, and at the end of the day, a unique and more satisfying user experience.
Were excited to partner with Microsoft to unlock the potential of television and offer
Indian subscribers the very best TV and connected entertainment experiences.
Reliance is about to change the way consumers experience television, said Steve
Ballmer, CEO, Microsoft. TV is the only major digital device that has been left out of
the networking revolution, and Microsoft and Reliance are now making the TV a first
class citizen in the connected entertainment landscape. By connecting the TV to an
intelligent two-way network and adding powerful software, new connected and
personalized experiences will become possible here in India.
The IPTV service will also target an area of great degree of ambiguity as far as TV
content and advertising goes, in India. There is, at present, no clear indication of how
much of the content and advertising is really reaching the target audience and what the
returns for the spends are. A two-way interactive medium can rectify this.

In addition to the obvious benefit that will come to the consumers, this offering will also
benefit the media industry at large, adds Ravi Venkatesan, Chairman, Microsoft India.
Whether it is the content providers, the platform owners or the advertisers, they will get
better value for their money. This is critical for the long term growth and sustenance of
the television industry.
Reliance Communications is well poised to leverage its next-gen optical fiber network
to unleash the Connected Digital Home phenomena, said Prakash Bajpai, President of
Home and Enterprise Business at RCOM. This revolutionary new IPTV will give
viewers complete control on Home entertainment as well as Internet-enabled information
and communication services on an always ON basis.

(wireless and wireline), convergent (voice, data and video) digital network that is capable
42

8/3/2019 Customer Satisfaction 001
43/98
of supporting best-of-class services spanning the entire infocomm value chain, covering
over 13,000 towns and 500,000 villages. Reliance Communications owns and operates
the world's largest next generation IP enabled connectivity infrastructure, comprising
over 165,000 kilometers of fibre optic cable systems in India, USA, Europe, Middle East
and the Asia Pacific region.
A DREAM COME TRUE
The Late Dhirubhai Ambani dreamt of a digital India an India where the common man
would have access to affordable means of information and communication. Dhirubhai,
who single-handedly built Indias largest private sector company virtually from scratch,
had stated as early as 1999: Make the tools of information and communication available
to people at an affordable cost. They will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of
mobility.
It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance
Infocomm) started laying 60,000 route kilometers of a pan-India fiber optic backbone.
43
-
8/3/2019 Customer Satisfaction 001
44/98
This backbone was commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of
Dhirubhais 70th birthday, though sadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002.
Reliance Communications has a reliable, high-capacity, integrated (both wireless and
wireline) and convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. It is capable of
delivering a range of services spanning the entire infocomm (information and
communication) value chain, including infrastructure and services for enterprises as
well as individuals, applications, and consulting.
Today, Reliance Communications is revolutionizing the way India communicates and
networks, truly bringing about a new way of life.
About Sh. Dhirubhai Ambani
Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their countrys economic
fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still have left
behind a legacy that is more enduring and timeless.
As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the true
genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the proud patriot,
the leader of men, the architect of Indias capital markets, the champion of shareholder
interest. But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of Indias greatest
wealth creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, Indias
largest private sector enterprise.
44
-
8/3/2019 Customer Satisfaction 001
45/98
When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of barely
US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted this
fledgling enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossusan achievement which earned
Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to
do so.
Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of Indias capital markets. In 1977, when
Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a place
patronized by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of stocks.
Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-time retail investors
to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard-earned money in the
Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their trust, substantial return on
their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of mutual respect and
reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.
Under Dhirubhais extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of the
greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to
become Indias largest private sector enterprise.
Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary
shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the
initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the worlds largest shareholder
families.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Organizations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth on the
support and goodwill of the communities of which they are an integral part, and must pay
back this generosity in every way they can
This ethical standpoint, derived from the vision of our founder, lies at the heart of the
CSR philosophy of the Reliance ADA Group.
While we strongly believe that our primary obligation or duty as corporate entities is to
our shareholders we are just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist in
isolation; it is part of a much larger compact which we have with our entire body of
stakeholders: From employees, customers and vendors to business partners, eco-system,
local communities, and society at large.
We evaluate and assess each critical business decision or choice from the point of view of
diverse stakeholder interest, driven by the need to minimize risk and to pro-actively
address long-term social, economic and environmental costs and concerns.
For us, being socially responsible is not an occasional act of charity or that one-time
token financial contribution to the local school, hospital or environmental NGO. It is an
ongoing year-round commitment, which is integrated into the very core of our business
objectives and strategy.
Because we believe that there is no contradiction between doing well and doing right.
Indeed, doing right is a necessary condition for doing well.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
The company should train their employees properly so that they have sufficient
knowledge about the products and the bills should be made more transparent so
that the customers could easily understand them.
The sales executives are not properly trained as they could not explain the
schemes properly so they just try to tell to the customer about their Reliance
communication service and not about other services. This is the main reason for
the lack in sales of their internet services.
A majority of the customers look for the price and after sales services before
choosing the products. So the company should plan accordingly to increase their
sales.
The newly launched GSM based mobile phones should be promoted accordingly.
According to the survey results, more than 3/4th of the population prefer to buy a
mobile based on GSM technology.
Network can be improved by planting more towers in different parts of the city
where the company does not have the signals.

Limitations
The study was restricted to only those clients who were related to Reliance
Communications products.
The study was confined within specific regions of Chennai city only.
The sample size was limited so the results obtained from the study may not be
generalized for the whole population.
The time period of the study was not sufficient to measure the consumers
response effectively and reach to a more valid conclusion.
Many of the respondents may not have given the correct information due to
personal bias.
