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 kilometres of a pan-India fibre optic backbone. 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 revolutionising the way India communicates and networks, truly
bringing about a new way of life.

INDIA S LEADING INTEGRATED TELECOM
COMPANY :
Reliance Communications is the flagship company of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) of
companies. Listed on the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange, it is Indias leading
integrated telecommunication company with over 80 million customers.
Our business encompasses a complete range of telecom services covering mobile and fixed line telephony.
It includes broadband, national and international long distance services and data services along with an
exhaustive range of value-added services and applications. Our constant endeavour is to achieve customer
delight by enhancing the productivity of the enterprises and individuals we serve.
Reliance Mobile (formerly Reliance India Mobile), launched on 28 December 2002, coinciding with the
joyous occasion of the late Dhirubhai Ambanis 70th birthday, was among the initial initiatives of Reliance
Communications. It marked the auspicious beginning of Dhirubhais dream of ushering in a digital
revolution in India. Today, we can proudly claim that we were instrumental in harnessing the true power of
information and communication, by bestowing it in the hands of the common man at affordable rates.
We endeavour to further extend our efforts beyond the traditional value chain by developing and deploying
complete telecom solutions for the entire spectrum of society.

LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD :
Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, an offshoot of the Reliance Group founded by Shri Dhirubhai H
Ambani (1932-2002), ranks among Indias top three private sector business houses in terms of net worth.
The group has business interests that range from telecommunications (Reliance Communications Limited)
to financial services (Reliance Capital Ltd) and the generation and distribution of power (Reliance
Infrastructure Limited).
Reliance ADA Groups flagship company, Reliance Communications, is India's largest private sector
information and communications company, with over 80 million subscribers. It has established a pan-India,
high-capacity, integrated (wireless and wireline), convergent (voice, data and video) digital network, to
offer services spanning the entire infocomm value chain.
Other major group companies Reliance Capital and Reliance Infrastructure are widely acknowledged
as the market leaders in their respective areas of operation.
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.
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
5

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 patronised 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.
CHAIRMAN'S PROFILE
Regarded as one of the foremost corporate leaders of contemporary India,Shri Anil D Ambani, 48, is the
chairman of all listed companies of the Reliance ADA Group, namely, Reliance Communications, Reliance
Capital, Reliance Energy and Reliance Natural Resources limited.
He is also Chairman of the Board of Governors of Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and
Communication Technology, Gandhi Nagar, Gujarat.
Till recently, he also held the post of Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited
(RIL), Indias largest private sector enterprise.

aspect of the companys management over the next 22 years.

markets. He spearheaded the countrys first forays into the overseas capital markets with international

public offerings of global depositary receipts, convertibles and bonds. Starting in 1991, he directed Reliance
Industries in its efforts to raise over US$ 2 billion. He also steered the 100-year Yankee bond issue for the
company in January 1997.

Policies in India are made in line with Ambani's vision, says an industry expert. His business
acumen and closeness to politicians assisted him in making it to the Rajya Sabha in June 2004, as an
independent member. Ambani chose to resign voluntarily on March 25, 2006.
The same association with politicos gave him negative returns too when the Mayawati Government
in Uttar Pradesh put a spanner on his ambitious plans to build a 1,200-acre SEZ.
Media sees his aggression when he announces financial results for the Reliance ADA group of
companies, and when he attends the annual general meetings and faces questions from shareholders.
When he meets the press, he has answers to all their questions. He also remembers to call selectjournalists by name.
To merchant bankers he, who has already contributed immensely to the financial reforms of
the country, is one of the financial wizards of the world. May be because of his expertise, he gave up
in the race to grab Hutchison Essar stake, after indirectly jacking up the valuation. His negotiations
with the Qualcomm chief are also a folk theory now.
How did Ambani become the VOICE&DATA Telecom Person of the Year 2007? What are hispersonal and organizational achievements in the recent past?
His path-breaking marketing strategy that was put in by the strongest team of telecom professionals
the country has ever seen has made millions of Indians happy as they got the best mobile tariffs in
the world. The aggression resulted to adding to his already swollen kitty. Every hour India will be
adding around 20,000 new mobile customers and Reliance Communications over 4,000. When
mobile telephony first began in India, a local call cost Rs 16 per minute; an STD Rs 50; and a call to
the US Rs 100 per minute. With Reliance Communications pioneering price initiative, a local call
now costs a mere 15 paise per minute, STD 40 paise, and a call to the US costs less than Rs 2 per
minute. The presence of Reliance Communications is making the competition in India panicky.
Global telecom forces will also shortly start feeling the heat. Ambani has also recently announced
his Rs 1,200 crore buyout of Yipes Holdings.

Achiever's Pride
Undertook financial restructuring of Reliance communications
To spend Rs 16,000 crore to expand and strengthen network coverage
After expansion, Reliance Communications will have the single largest wireless network in the
world
Launched the lowest-cost classic brand handset at Rs 777
Subscriber base grew to over 28 mn during last fiscal, registering 60% growth
Total Revenue shot up to Rs 14,468 crore, an increase of 34%
Net Profit rises to Rs 3,163 crore, an increase of over 600%
Revenues of the wireless business increased by 46% to Rs 10,728 crore
Broadband achieved revenue growth of 123% to Rs 1,144 crore
Market capitalization crossed Rs 100,000 crore
Will add 23,000 more towers
Telecom services will be available in over 23,000 towns and 600,000 villages
Next generation DTH network will be launched before end of the year
Reliance Communications' wireless subscriber base grew to over 28 mn last fiscal, registering a 60%
growth. This makes it one of the top two wireless operators in India.
"Economic growth in the future will be indexed to connectivity of millions of enterprise and individual
customers. Over the next few years, we will have over 100 million customers, making us one of the top
5 telecom players in the world. In four years, we put up a total of 14,000 towers across the country. This
year alone we will add 23,000 more towers. Our wireless network is currently available in 10,000 towns.
By the end of this year, it will be available in over 23,000 towns and 600,000 villages," Anil Ambani
said at the first annual general meeting of Reliance Communications since the re-organization of the
Reliance Group in June 2005.
10
8/8/2019 Relince Report

"In four years of operations, we invested around Rs 32,000 crore. This year alone we will invest over Rs
20,000 crore. At the end of this year, we will have covered over 90% of our population. If Version 1.0 of
the Indian telecom story was all about affordability, Version 2.0 will be about reach. Our Network
expansion will give us the power to drive the market and stay ahead of the curve," Ambani adds.
According to Ambani, the financial restructuring of Reliance Communications is the biggest turnaround
story in the history of corporate India. The inherited ownership structure of Reliance Communications
was complex. The reorganization has yielded a simple, fair, and transparent ownership structure, and
given Reliance Communications 100% ownership of all operational and associate companies.
Reliance Communications is now among the three most valuable private sector companies in India, and
the five most valuable telecom companies in Asia. In the current
Fiscal, Reliance Communications will spend Rs 16,000 crore to further expand and strengthen its
network coverage across India and the rest of the world.
In addition to organic growth, Reliance Communications will leverage the advantages derived from this
impressive financial platform to explore and pursue any significant
opportunities available in the telecommunications sector. "We are currently evaluating a number ofinorganic opportunities in select international markets to further expand our footprint," Ambani said.
Reliance Communications One India, One Tariff plan allowed millions to connect across India at just
one rupee a minute. The company was the first one to break the Rs 1,000 entry-barrier with the launch
of the lowest-cost classic brand handset at Rs 777.
As per its expansion plan, Reliance Communications will have the single largest wireless network in the
world, covering over 900 mn Indians or more than 15% of the global population. It will cover 23,000towns or every single Indian habitation with a population of over 1,000. Reliance Communications will
cover almost 100% of all rail routes, providing seamless voice, video, radio, and Internet connectivity to
14 mn commuters every day. It will also cover almost 100% of all national highways, and 84% of all
state highways, giving millions of users the power to talk, text, surf, play, chat or simply stay in touch
across nearly the entire length of India's 2,00,000-km-long road network.

Having achieved tremendous growth, the main challenge for Reliance Communications is to improve
quality of service and ARPU. Its enterprise business is also not in a position to compete with the global
majors. Stock market valuations may boost the fortunes of an entrepreneur, but Ambani needs to address
the issues faced by the growing mobile customer base, especially in India, where bureaucracy takes
pride in checking the businessman.
AN OVERVIEW OF CURRENT MARKETSCENARIO:
Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Communications Ventures) is one of India's largestproviders of integrated communications services. The company has more than 20 million customersand serves individual consumers, enterprises, and carriers, providing wireless, wireline, long
distance, voice, data, and internet communications services through a number of operatingsubsidiaries. The company sells communications and digital entertainment products and servicesthrough its chain of Reliance Web World retail outlets. The company's Reliance Infocommsubsidiary provides wireless communications services throughout India. Reliance Communicationsis part of the Reliance - Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group.
The current network expansion undertaken by Reliance is the largest wireless network expansionundertaken by any operator across the world.
It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Infocomm) startedlaying 60,000 route kilometres of a pan-India fibre optic backbone. This backbone was
commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of Dhirubhais 70th birthday, thoughsadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002.

INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC:
What is SWOT Analysis?
SWOT analysis is a basic, straightforward model that provides direction and serves as a basis for the
development of marketing plans. It accomplishes this by assessing an organizations strengths (what an
organization can do) and weaknesses (what an organization cannot do) in addition to opportunities
(potential favorable conditions for an organization) and threats (potential unfavorable conditions for an
organization). SWOT analysis is an important step in planning and its value is often underestimated
despite the simplicity in creation. The role of SWOT analysis is to take the information from the
environmental analysis and separate it into internal issues (strengths and weaknesses) and external issues
(opportunities and threats). Once this is completed, SWOT analysis determines if the information
indicates something that will assist the firm in accomplishing its objectives (a strength or opportunity),
SWOT analysis is a general technique which can be applied across diverse functions and activities, but itis particularly appropriate to the early stages of planning for a TIPD visit. Performing SWOT analysis
involves generating and recording the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats relating to a
given task. It is customary for the analysis to take account of internal resources and capabilities
(strengths and weaknesses) and factors external to the organization (opportunities and threats).
17
8/8/2019 Relince Report
18/49
SWOT analysis can provide:
A framework for identifying and analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
This checklist is for those carrying out, or participating in, SWOT analysis. It is a simple, popular
technique which can be used in preparing or amending plans, in problem solving and decision making.
Illustrative diagram of SWOT analysis If SWOT analysis does not start with defining a desired end state
or objective, it runs the risk of being useless. A SWOT analysis may be incorporated into the strategicplanning model. An example of a strategic planning technique that incorporates an objective-driven
SWOT analysis is SCAN analysis. Strategic Planning, including SWOT and SCAN analysis.
Strengths: attributes of the organization those are helpful to achieving the objective.
Weaknesses: attributes of the organization those are harmful to achieving the objective.
Opportunities: external conditions those are helpful to achieving the objective.
Threats: external conditions that is harmful to achieving the objective.
SWOT analysis can be used for all sorts of decision-making, and the SWOT template enables proactive
thinking, rather than relying on habitual or instinctive reactions.
The SWOT analysis template is normally presented as a grid, comprising four sections, one for each of
the SWOT headings: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The free SWOT template
below includes sample questions, whose answers are inserted into the relevant section of the SWOT
grid. The questions are examples, or discussion points, and obviously can be altered depending on the
subject of the SWOT analysis. Note that many of the SWOT questions are also talking points for other
headings - use them as you find most helpful, and make up your own to suit the issue being analyzed. It
is important to clearly identify the subject of a SWOT analysis, because a SWOT analysis is a
perspective of one thing, be it a company, a product, a proposition, and idea, a method, or option, etc.
Here are some examples of what a SWOT analysis can be used to assess:
a company (its position in the market, commercial viability, etc)
a method of sales distribution
a product or brand
a business idea

operation of the Indian companies. Process of acquisition and merger are in process and future will
be only for those companies who have an edge over others in the field. Service provided and the
better quality of network etc. is provided at affordable cost. In this process of competition it isassumed that only those companies will survive who adopt suitable market strategy and technology
innovation and up gradation to suit the aspiration and demand of the consumer.
RCOM cellular ltd. an Anil Ambani Group of cos. is very fast catching up with the market by
providing cheaper calling rates. The market strategies adopted by its executives are bearing fruits
and the company although being the Second one to enter the market of Bihar & Jharkhand has found
a suitable niche and recognition in the consumer. But this is not a thing for self contentment as the
survey reveals that in network, service and distributor, its place is very far behind to other
competitors viz. Airtel, BSNL, and Tata indicom etc. so to withstand the competition resources
mobilization and technological innovation on the part of cos. To upgrade its quality of network and

Reliance is a faster growing provider service in each state .every offers andschemes they should show with proper message for benefit to the customer. In busy life customerdo not remembered any offers and which service we can provided for the customer thereforethey should by force showing advertisement in growing market and among customer .customerswants continuously exposure in Cable and Local newspapers.
Persuasive Advertising: - Now there is a need of persuasive advertising for Reliance servicewhich can be moved into the category of comparative advertising. It will help the company toestablish the superiority of its brand service through specific comparison of one or moreattributes and features.
Technical Expertise: - The advertisement should show the companies expertise, experience andpride in market the product service sale.
Media:-A combination of print ads and TV commercial do a better job. Local ads and publicityshould be giving more stress. Hoardings, banners, wall painting should be promoted, as someexpenses are also beard by dealers. Ads on Cable network result greater audience attention.Schemes, gift offers etc. must be highlighted through Radio and Local newspapers.
