METHODOLOGY

The branch of philosophy that analyzes the principal and procedures of inquiry

in a particular discipline. Also the method applied to collect the required

information from the company.

Primary Data:

Primary Datas are first hand data those which are collected from the direct

source. Here datas are collected by meeting the officials personally. This

method of collection of data is very helpful as because we can know about the

internal matter and also be able to get different answers as the mentality of

person varies.

Secondary Data:

Secondary Datas are the second hand data which are usually taken or collected

from the existing records.

Datas collected from secondary sources are like companys record of work,

companys web sites, reference texts, the documents of the company.

The purpose behind the collection of the datas is to know about the past

position of the company and the feedback of the customers towards the

company and also the product of the company.

Meaning and Definition of Telecommunication

Telecommunications, also called telecommunication, is the exchange of

information over significant distances by electronic means. A complete, single

telecommunications circuit consists of two stations, each equipped with a

transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter and receiver at any station may be

electrical combined into a single device called transceiver. The medium ofsignal transmission can be electrical wire or cable ( also known as copper ),

optical fibre or electromagnetic fields. The free-space transmission and

reception of data by means of electromagnetic fields is called wireless.

The simplest form of telecommunications takes place between two stations.

However, it is common for multiple transmitting and receiving stations to

exchange data among themselves. Such an arrangement is called

telecommunications network. The Internet is the largest example. On a smaller

scale, example include: Telephone networks, Corporate and academic wide-area

networks(WANs), Police and fire communication system.

HISTORY OF TELECOMMUNICATION:

The history of telecommunicationbegan with the use ofsmoke

signals anddrums inAfrica, theAmericas and parts ofAsia. In the 1790s the

first fixed semaphore systems emerged inEurope;however it was not until the

1830s that electricaltelecommunication systems started to appear. This article

details the history of telecommunication and the individuals who helped make

telecommunication systems what they are today. The history of

telecommunication is an important part of the largerhistory of communication.

Now let us see how the telecommunication has improved from the olden days of

smoke signals and drums to the new changing technology of fast internet and

mobile phones.

Early Telecommunication:

Early telecommunications includedsmoke signals anddrums.Drums were usedby natives inAfrica,New Guinea andSouth America, and smoke signals

inNorth America andChina.Contrary to what one might think, these systems

were often used to do more than merely announce the presence of a camp.

In 1792, a French engineer,Claude Chappebuilt the first visual telegraphy

(orsemaphore) system betweenLille andParis. This was followed by a line

fromStrasbourg toParis. In 1794, a Swedish engineer,Abraham

Edelcrantzbuilt a quite different system fromStockholm toDrottningholm.As

opposed to Chappe's system which involved pulleys rotating beams of wood,

Edelcrantz's system relied only upon shutters and was therefore faster. However

semaphore as a communication system suffered from the need for skilled

operators and expensive towers often at intervals of only ten to thirty kilometres

(six to nineteen miles). As a result, the last commercial line was abandoned in1880.

Telegraph and Telephone:

A very early experiment inelectrical telegraphy was an 'electrochemical'

telegraph created by theGermanphysician, anatomist and inventorSamuel

Thomas von Smmering in 1809, based on an earlier, less robust design of 1804

byCatalanpolymath and scientistFrancisco Salv i Campillo.Both their

designs employed multiple wires (up to 35) in order to visually represent almost

all Latin letters and numerals. Thus, messages could be conveyed electrically up

to a few kilometres (in von Smmering's design), with each of the telegraph

receiver's wires immersed in a separate glass tube of acid.

The first commercial electrical telegraph was constructed inEnglandby

SirCharles Wheatstone and SirWilliam Fothergill Cooke.It used the deflection

of needles to represent messages and started operating over twenty-one

kilometres (thirteen miles) of theGreat Western Railway on 9 April 1839. Both

Wheatstone and Cooke viewed their device as "an improvement to the [existing]

electromagnetic telegraph" not as a new device.

In 1880, Bell and co-inventor Charles Sumner Tainter conducted the world's

first wireless telephone call via modulated light beams projected

byphotophones. The scientific principles of their invention would not be

utilized for several decades, when they were first deployed in military andfiber-

optic communications.

Radio and Television:

In 1832,James Lindsay gave a classroom demonstration ofwireless

telegraphy to his students. By 1854 he was able to demonstrate a transmission

across the Firth of Tay fromDundee toWoodhaven, a distance of two miles

(3 km), using water as the transmission medium.

On March 25, 1925, Scottish inventorJohn Logie Bairdpublicly demonstrated

the transmission of moving silhouette pictures at the London department

storeSelfridges. In October 1925, Baird was successful in obtaining moving

pictures withhalftone shades, which were by most accounts the first true

television pictures. This led to a public demonstration of the improved device

on 26 January 1926 again atSelfridges. Baird's first devices relied upontheNipkow disk and thus became known as themechanical television.It formed

the basis of semi-experimental broadcasts done by theBritish Broadcasting

Corporationbeginning September 30, 1929.

After mid-century the spread of coaxial cable andmicrowave radio

relay allowedtelevision networks to spread across even large countries.

Computer networks and the Internet:

On September 11, 1940,George Stibitz was able to transmit problems

usingteletype to his Complex Number Calculator inNew York and receive the

computed results back atDartmouth College in New Hampshire.[17]

This

configuration of a centralized computer ormainframe with remote dumb

terminals remained popular throughout the 1950s. However it was not until the

1960s that researchers started to investigatepacket switching a technology

that would allow chunks of data to be sent to different computers without first

passing through a centralized mainframe. A four-node network emerged on

December 5, 1969 between theUniversity of California, Los Angeles,

the Stanford Research Institute, the University of Utah and theUniversity of

California, Santa Barbara.This network would becomeARPANET, which by

1981 would consist of 213 nodes. In June 1973, the first non-US node was

added to the network belonging toNorway's NORSAR project. This was shortly

followed by a node in London.

ARPANET's development centred around the Request for Commentprocess

and on April 7, 1969,RFC 1 was published. This process is important because

ARPANET would eventually merge with other networks to form

theInternet and many of the protocols the Internet relies upon today were

specified through this process. In September 1981,RFC 791 introduced

theInternet Protocol v4 (IPv4) andRFC 793 introduced theTransmission

Control Protocol (TCP) thus creating the TCP/IP protocol that much of the

Internet relies upon today. A more relaxed transport protocol that, unlike TCP,

did not guarantee the orderly delivery of packets called theUser DatagramProtocol (UDP) was submitted on 28 August 1980 asRFC 768. An e-mail

protocol,SMTP, was introduced in August 1982 byRFC 821 andhttp://1.0 a

protocol that would make the hyperlinked Internet possible was introduced on

May 1996 byRFC 1945.

However not all important developments were made through theRequest for

Commentprocess. Two popular link protocols forlocal area networks (LANs)also appeared in the 1970s. A patent for the Token Ringprotocol was filed

byOlof Sderblom on October 29, 1974.[20]And a paper on

theEthernetprotocol was published byRobert Metcalfe andDavid Boggs in the

July 1976 issue ofCommunications of the ACM.[21]

Internet accessbecame widespread late in the century, using the old

telephone and television networks.

Telecom in India:

The Indian telecommunications industry is one of the worlds fastest growing

industries, with 653.92 million telephone (landlines and mobile) subscribers and

617.53 million mobile phone connections as of may 2010. It is also the second

largest telecommunication network in the world in terms of number of wireless

connections after China. The Indian Mobile subscriber base has increased in

size by a factor of more than one-hundred since 2001 when the number of

subscriber in the country was approximately 5 million to 617.53 million in May

2010.

As the fastest growing telecommunications industry in the world, it is projectedthat India will have 1.159 billion mobile subscriber by 2013. The industry is

expected to reach a size of Rs. 344,921 crore by 2012 at a growth rate of over

26 percent and generate employment opportunities for about 10 million people

during the same period. According to the analysts, the sector would create direct

employment for 2.8 million people and for 7 million indirectly.

Modern Growth:

A large population, low telephony penetration levels, and a rise in consumers

income and spending owing to strong economic growth have helped make India

the fastest-growing telecom market in the world. The first operator is the state-

owned incumbent BSNL. BSNL was created by corporatization of the erstwhile

DTS (Department of Telecommunication Service), a government unit

responsible for provision of telephony services. Subsequently, after the

telecommunication policies were revised to allow private operators, companies

such as Vodafone, Bharti Airtel, Tata Indicom, Idea Cellular, Aircel and Loop

Mobile have entered the space.

In 2008-2009 rural India outpaced urban India in mobile growth rate. Bharti

Airtel now is the largest telecom company in India.

Indias mobile phone market is the fastest growing in the world, with companies

adding some 20.31 million new customers in March 2010. The tatal number of

telephones in the country crossed the 600 million mark in Feb 2010. The overall

tele-density has increased t 44.85% in Oct 2009.

EWCM/SDG/DD Page 14

The total wireless subscribers (GSM, CDMA & WLL (F)) base is more than543.20 million now. The wireline segment subscriber base stood at 37.06

million with a decline of 0.12 million in Dec 2009.

CUSTOMER SERVICE DELIVERY

Customer Service Delivery is one of the very essential department of the

organization. It plays a very vital role in the organization. This department starts

working right from the beginning when a customer applies for a connection.

CSD is the department which is to sort out any kind of problem faced by the

customer. The department is playing a very vital role in retaining the customers.

Let us now know in broad how this particular department functions. When acustomer wishes to take a connection he/she first goes to particular outlet where

a connection is available. Then the customer fills up the form and takes a

connection. This department then starts its work, they send for the verification

of the customer who has applied for the connection. After the verification is

done the connection of the customer gets activated and the customer starts using

it.

After that, if the customer wants to use other services provided by the company,

the customer will either go to the outlets or call in the help desk for further

query or to know about the schemes provided. All this role play is handled by

the CSD department itself. We can say that this department is directly

connected with the customers 24 hours.

The informations that we receive through Value Added Service( i.e. SMS) is

all done by this department itself. They always keeps the customers aware of the

newly launched schemes and try to benefit the customers. To benefit a customer

a company should always resolve the problems of the customers that they are

facing. They also should not only resolve the problem and leave, but they

should also follow up the customers from time to time and create goodwill

among them.


29/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 29

All this is done by the CSD department very smoothly and accurately. If this

department fails to perform then there will be a great chaos in the company and

may fail to proceed further.

The department has three touch-points:-

Now let me tell in details what are the Touch Points and what they actually

does:-

OUTLETS:

The outlets are those where a connection is available and a customer can go and

grab. The outlets are made by the company for easy access of the connection. Ifsuppose a customer is facing any problem, he/she will go to the outlet first and

ask what to do regarding it. They here at this point provide service to the

customers for easy access and contact the company as and when required. The

outlets work on behalf of the company and provide service to the customers.

Through outlets a customer pays bill, recharge the number, launch complains,

etc. Outlets are first place where from the functioning of the department starts.

TOUCH POINTS

OUTLETS CALL CENTRE SELF SERVICE


30/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 30

CALL CENTRE:

We are very much familiar with the term Call Centre. We know what it does

and how it functions. A call centre receives a call from a customer and treats the

customer according to their needs.

A customer contacts a call centre through a given helpline number by the

company. The call centre deals with the complains and also provide with

information that is required to the customer.

This is a place where they tries to solve the problem online if possible or they

take the complain from the customer and gives the customer a complain

number. Now a days call centre is available in almost all the companys. The

main function of call centre is to solve the problem of the customers and follow

up.

SELF SERVICE:

This is a touch point where a customer does everything themselves. This is done

with SMS service. By following the guide one can do it. Here what happen is if

a person wants to activate a service like miss call alert, caller tune, news, etc.

The customer can read the instruction and do it by himself by sending one SMS

or by dialling a specified number.

If a customer wants to check the balance amount of the number using for a pre-

paid customer or if a post-paid customer wants to know the bill amount of the

number, then the customer can by dialling the specified number provided by the

service provider can check it.


31/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 31

No department is possible to control and run smoothly if it is not sub-divided.

Likewise this department has three sub-divisions:-

1. Sales and Marketing.

2.Network

3. Customer Service

COMPLAIN MANAGEMENT CELL:

The CSD department has a special cell where it deals with the complain of thecustomers. The cell is known as Complain Management Cell.

The complain management cell keeps an eye on the complain which

goes to the back end.

They sees whether the issues are resolved or not.

They try to find out what is the matter of the complain.

They resolves the complain and follow up their customers.

Eg: if a customer is having a problem with hello tunes or network, the

customer lodges a complain to the company through the call centres

and solves the problem.

This is how the complain management cell works and plays a vital role in

retaining their customers. The complain management cell works for whole day

and night to satisfy the customers and resolve their problems. Without this it

would have been very difficult to retain customers.


32/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 32

The CSD department has three departments. They are shown below:

SELF CARE AND IVR(INTERACTIVE VOICE

RECORDER)

This department aware customer about the launch of new product through

message or through IVR. There are some customers who doesnt have time to

go through the newly launched schemes and products in the market, in such

case this department plays a very vital role in self caring the customers and

making them aware of the products in the market.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

Organizations are made up of people and functions through people. Humanresources are the wealth of the organization. No organization can run without

human being. This human being helps the organization to achieve goals and

targets of the organization. It is the total knowledge, ability, talents and aptitude

of an organization work force.

Human resource management (HRM) is the understanding and application of

the policy and procedures that directly affect the people working within the

project team and working group. These policies include recruitment, retention,

reward, personal development, training and career development.

According to Edwin B. Flippo HRM is the planning, organizing, directing and

controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, integration,

maintenance and production of human resources to the end that individual,

organizational and societal objectives are accomplished

organization together so that the objectives are achieved. Organizations are not

mere bricks, motor, machines or inventories. They are people. It is the people

who staff and manage organization.

OBJECTIVES OF HRM:

Objectives are predetermined goals to which individual or group activity in

organization is directed. Obesity of personal management is influenced by

organizational goals, individual goals and social goals are instituted to attain

certain specific goals. There are some of the basic objectives of HRM:

MARKETING DEPARTMENT

Marketing can defined as:

According to Philip Kotler Marketing is Marketing is analyzing, organizing,

planning and controlling of the firms customer impinging resources, policies

activities with a view to satisfying the needs and wants of chosen customer

groups at a profit.

Marketing occupies an imperative position in the organization of a businessunit. The traditional view of the marketing asserts that the customers will accept

whatever product the seller offers them. In this way the main concern of the

producer is to produce without considering the changes. The modern concept

may be viewed from the customers point of view. Marketing is customer-

centered, i.e.it resolves entirely around the ultimate consumer. The producer

cannot produce whatever he likes but he has to produce what customer needs.

In this way, marketing executes all those functions, which are necessary to pass

on goods from the producer to the customers in a process to satisfy there needs.

Thus the primary objectives of modern marketing is the satisfaction of

customers needs. Therefore, marketing functions are not limited to the functions

of buying and selling but they include all functions necessary to satisfy the

customer such as financing, storage, risk bearing and after sale service etc.

The Marketing Department maintains and adheres to certain policies and

procedure that have been framed in the same manner just other departments

maintain their policies and procedure for the overall benefit of the organization.

The structure of the Marketing department maintain by AIRTEL.

We all know that the work of an mobile overs when we make a call by pressingthe green button and cancelling with the red button. But there is a lot to know

beyond this. Paying bill and recharging with the number doesnt end up. From

the organization point of view there is a lot work to be done to satisfy the

customers.

MASS:

Mass group is that which means there are a large number of customers. And the

mass group is the Pre Paid users. The company tries to retain the number of

users. They are not so concerned with the income from them, but concerned

mostly about the huge number of customers in the company.

High Value customers are the Post Paid customers. The number of Post Paid

customers is less, but the revenue generated from the Post Paid customer is

high. So the company tries to maintain the revenue earned from customer.

INACTIVITY:

This department plays a role when a customer comes out of the Cycle. They

play a role of retaining the customers by offerings other schemes and by asking

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

Finance is the lifeblood of the business. Finance can be defined as the activity

concerned with the planning, raising, controlling and acquiring of funds used in

the business. Finance is the process of acquiring and utilizing funds by a

business. Without proper financial management, organization cannot achieve its

objectives.

Bad production management and bad sales in hundreds, but faulty Finance

slain in thousand

It is the master key, which provides access to all the sources for being employed

in the manufacturing and merchandising activities. It has rightly been said that

business needs money to make more money, when it is properly managed.

Hence, efficient management of every business enterprise is closely linked with

efficient management of its finance.

Although it may be difficult to separate the finance functions from production

marketing and other functions themselves can be readily identified. We may

identify two kinds of finance functions:

1. Managerial

2. Routine

Managerial finance functions are so called because they require skilful

planning, control and executing of financial activities.

Routine finance functions do not require a great managerial ability to carry them

out. They are chiefly clerical and are incidental to the effective handling of the

managerial finance functions.


45/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 45

a) Investment or assets mixed decisions

b) Financing or capital mixed decision.

For the effective execution of the managerial functions, the identical routines

have to be performed. These decision concern the procedure and involve a lot of

paper works and time. Some of them are below:

a) Supervision of cash receipt and payment and safeguarding of cash

balances.

b)

Taking care of the mechanical details of new financing.

c) Record keeping and reporting.

Airtel has three verticals of the Finance Department. They are:

VERTICALS

FINANCIAL

REPORTING AND

COMPLIENCES

BIUSINESS

46/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 46

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND COMPLIENCES:

This vertical of the finance department deals with hard core accounting. We can

also say the day-to-day operations of the business.

BUSINESS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS:

They plan the future requirements of fund in the business. They are also

concerned with the decision support system. The reporting part to the higher

authority is done by this department.

All the tax part is looked by this vertical. They decide the amount of tax to be

included. What should be the payment of tax and how much tax is collected is

looked by this vertical.

INVESTMENT:

Investments are mainly done in the setting up of network towers and

underground fibre cables. And the outside investments are done by the higher

authority like the CEO of the company.

COLLECTION OF REVENUE:

Revenues are collected from the three sources. They are:

a) MTC (Mobile Terminating Cost)

b) MOC (Mobile originating Cost)

c) Roaming revenue.


47/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 47

The company has to pay to the other telecom companies for using of thenetwork. Suppose an Airtel customer makes a call to Reliance customer, then

Airtel has to pay to Relience for making a call to the network. Rate of payment

differs from step to step. There are different rates for making a local call, for

STD call and for ISD call.

50/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 50

FINDINGS:

Large number of Pre-Paid customers and small number of Post-Paid

customers.

Airtel is costlier than any other telecom service provider.

Private sector employees mostly take up the Post-Paid connection.

Students take the Pre-Paid connections because of the low schemes and

different other facilities on and off campus.

They are linked with many private companies and also some of the govt.

organization with their corporate plans.

They satisfy their customers and always read for any kind of help to the

customers.

In North East Airtel has given the Pre-Paid roaming facilities.


51/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 51

SUGGESTIONS:

Make the plans cheap and make it open for all class of the people.

Before any other competitor grab the opportunity of fill the demand of the

customers, they should do it.

Try to upgrade the network where it is weak or disturbance of network.


52/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 52

LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Live experience can be otherwise called as the work experience and in this

much of time of live experience we have learnt How to talk with people, How to

approach people, How to work in a team, How to learn from others, How to

respect people, etc. The most important thing I have learnt from the

organization is how to be punctual and how to acquire knowledge. Working in

an organization we can improve our communication skills. The environment is

totally different in the corporate world and the organizations are doing their best

to service in the market. Every work is done in a systematic manner and to shift

the load every department is again sub-divided so that the organization runs

smoothly. We should always keep in mind that we should assign right job to the

right person.


53/54


EWCM/SDG/DD Page 53

CONCLUSION

Airtel is fulfilling the needs of many people. The company should promote their

product as attractively as possible. They should also maintain the market

reputation they has and retain the customers. There are lot of competitors in the

market, the company should face the tough competition and come out with

better policies and plans.

They should always focus on achieving the targets or objectives of the

company. The company has a tie up with many large organizations and which is

because of their service and reputation in the market. Hence, the organization

should change its policies with the changing market and maintain its position.
