INTRODUCTION

Telecom sector is not just a sale of product, but it comprehensively based on the service facility offered by the organization. So, a careful study and proper analysis can help a telecom company to reach on the right direction, at right place, at right time. It will not only help to know the” Market Potential” of telecom company but, it will also help to find the factors those are responsible for the exploitation of the telecom sector. To find out those above things, “Market Research” can be the most effective and efficient tools to reach on the right decision. In it we have to do research on youth what they perceive, what is their necessities and what is their requirement from the Telecom service provider.

The second phase of our project was concerned with the product/service launch and promotion of the service of uninor. It started to create an atmosphere in market that telecom giant uninor enter along with five circles at a time. To establish in the market like telecom sector and occupy the large base of consumer it was an inevitable part for any new force of Telecom Company to do market entry and promotion in proper and comprehensive way. Uninor’s market strategy is clearly visible for making a brand in the mind of consumer. So, they launched the product in vibrant way . After this they started their promotional activities like “to meet the retailers and customers” personally for word to mouth exchange and to reach on the grass root level of the telecom market.

SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying

4

Page 5: MR-project

the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective. The technique is credited to Albert Humphrey, who led a research project at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s using data from Fortune 500 companies.

Strengths:-

Joint venture between world’s 6th largest telecom company and India’s 2nd largest real estate company.

Least capital investment as various services are out sourced. Different price strategy. Decentralized management structure.

Weakness:-

The first signs of Weakness in new Operators are now evident that Uninor [a JV of Telenor and Unitech Ltd] has confirmed that it will have a focused rollout in majority of 22 circles, while meeting license obligations in all circles. Uninor also said that India capex plans have been scaled down from Rs155 billion earlier to Rs 120-125 billion.Uninor has just 12,000 base stations installed, much lower than the base stations required for nationwide launch. This development is an indication of new operators feeling the heat due to tariff wars in Indian telecom industry. We wait for more such signs especially foreign players’ bids for 3G spectrum – we believe that a quick consolidation would be positive for incumbents

Opportunities:

The telecommunications market, even though highly saturated in some regions offers great potential due to the ageing population and the sophistication of the consumers. It offers great opportunities through a careful market segmentation and exploitation of particular profitable segments. Different strategies should be pursued –simple phones and simplified pricing plans to the ageing population and more updated, sophisticated solutions for younger generations. The expanding Boundaries of the market could provide further opportunities by allowing Uninor to enter more aggressively into service and to better enjoy the benefits of its high investment.

Threats:-

Competitor like Airtel, Reliance, Vodafone, BSNL/MTNL etc.

Extensive government regulations through TRAI as regards introduction of new services.

Branding

The American Marketing Association defines a brand as follows:

identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from

those of competitors.

BRAND NAME: A brand is defined as ‘name, term, symbol, or a combination of them. The UNINOR has built its brand name strongly in the market. The name of brand UNINOR is come from the two companies UNITECH INDIA and TELENOR NORWAY.

24×7 BADALTA DISCOUNT PLAN – A UNIQUE PLAN

The success of any organization depends on mainly two important frameworks, one is innovation and other is marketing. 24×7 Badalta discount plan has also a unique proposal of uninor in the field of telecom.

According to the name this plan, works for twenty-four hours with different discount rate. So it’s important to understand how it works.

If a customer insert a SIM card of uninor in his cell phone, and he get first recharge with worth of Rs.48 or Rs.26, this plan automatically activate. In customer cell phone, in mobile inflow display he can always observe that he is getting certain discount on his call based on the how congestion in the network. Simply if in network there is less congestion, he will get more discounts on his call rate but, if congestion is heavy means in peak period he will receive less discount. But, it is sure that he will get certain discount in any circumstances; that will vary from 5% to 60% based on the place and time. Hence this discount rate vary from place to place, time to time.

FINDINGS

Through this project analysis we found some real corporate practices and find out some majors which can help a company in making his market strategy that will certainly lead to his expansion of market share. These findings are….

Highest number of users in youth segment covered by Airtel with the percentage of 33.43.

Distribution of free SIM card can affect a company comprehensively in increasing the base of Customers.

The monthly expense of most of the youth below Rs. 500 indicates their purchasing capacity.

Most of the youth brand loyal and they do not thinking to switch to another one.

If a company enters in telecom market with a comprehensive planning and clear strategy, company will be in a better position in near future in spite of hard competition.

Costumers are not much loyal about their service provider they always looking for better facility, service, schemes etc. If any new one come with the above facility customers can go for that.

Customers give much emphasis on the network facility and availability of recharge coupons rather than cheaper call rate, tariff schemes and other facility given by the company.

We find that, in spite of decreasing call rate and SMS charges, people still want cheaper call rate.

Some class of customers like youth segment gives more preference to higher technology like GPRS facility, video calling, Broadband facility etc.

Some class of customers want that the plans and schemes of telecom companies should not be ambiguous. It should be clear and easily understandable and plans should not be comprise any hidden charges.

29

Page 30: MR-project

SUGGESTIONS

Suggestions for new service provider which is coming in market:-

1) The New service provider should try to change the perception of the customer towards its services and brand name.

2) New service provider should try to create its distinct brand image.

3) Although the satisfaction level of old service provider is high but still youth customer are expecting better service in cheaper rate.

4) New service provider should focus to make the customer loyalty.

5)Network coverage should be strong.

6)Local call rate shoud be low.

30

Page 31: MR-project

Conclusion

The result of the research is that “Market strategy for youth should be different”.

Because after seen all parameter like:-

Most of youth using Airtel because of “Airtel offering friend circle scheme for local call”.

Most of youth using Reliance because of “Reliance offering Reliance to Reliance STD call free”.

Most of youth using Vodafone because of “Vodafone offering best service in cheaper rate.”

Most of youth using prepaid connection because of in prepaid service provider offer new scheme.

Before taking a new connection they think about all factors like network coverage, call rate, SMS rate etc.

Most of youth are using their connection from 6 month.

Advertisement can change youth’s perception regarding new scheme.

Most of youth accept that Reliance has poor network and Airtel has best network coverage.

Vodafone has best customer care services and Value added services.

According to our research most of youth’s recharge frequency is 100 rupees to 300 rupees.

Most of youth accept that Call rate and Network is more important for them.

Most of youth accept that they can switch to other service provider if they provide better service in cheaper price.
