ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In this project report I have made an honest and dedicated attempt to make the research material as authentic as it could. And I earnestly hope that it provides useful and workable information and knowledge to any person reading it.

During this small time frame of two months in which the project reached its completion, there were a few people whom I would like to make a mention of and without whose help the project would have never seen the light of day.

I also thanks to my internal guide Prof. Ashok Chaudhary for his timely response via e-mail & personal meeting, which immensely helped in giving the project the initial direction it needed.

I would like to thanks my external guide Mr. Sandeep Singh (Circle Head) and Mr Viraj Vinayak hardas (Area Sales Maneger) who gave me a free hand as far as going about the project work concerned.

I dedicate this project to Dealer’s of Pune District who were extremely kind and who at times went out of the way to help me. Without their co-operation it would have perhaps not been possible to research a few places, which I did, within the stipulated time frame.

EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

First and fore most, I would like to thanks “VIDEOCON DTH+” for giving me an opportunity to undertake the project “MARKET ANALYSIS FOR VIDEOCON d2h+”.

I was given the task for market analysis in which I had to visit dealers, distributors and tell then about new introducing product by VIDEOCON DTH+. The offered products are ‘IDTV, IDVD, IHT & DTH ITSELF’.

As a management trainee my work was also to note down the problems, if that dealer is selling Videocon company product. My main work was to promote /pitch the features & facilities provide in to the products and convince them for sale the VIDEOCON DTH+ product.

The uphill task was to find out the potential dealers who have interest for selling the VIDEOCON DTH+ products as well as support for increase the selling. So that company assume them for selling the DTH or as a future prospect for selling the DTH.

The company Videocon DTH+ is doing aggressive marketing research /analysis at the launch timing so that they can get good response and business because more market analysis give more accurate and quantitative result by which company take effective decision for making the profitable business with satisfied customer.

The most interesting part in any summer internship, for a learner is, the application of concepts, he has learned. Apart from being an interesting things, it is also the key phenomena around which summer internship resolves. It also gives, a taste of pressure ,the marketing manager has due to limitation of resources, especially financial in nature .The only things which market research does not give an in-depth knowledge about is Sales. Although selling skill is considered to be one of the prerequisite of a marketing professional. Market Research does not give the taste of a hand core sales job. Thus it can be very well said that, Market Research could be very good topic for Summer Internship of a student.

In order to get the best of both, I decided to do project (Pan Pune) on Market Research in Videocon DTH+ company.

ABOUT BBC:

18

BBCL is a new and separate company that has been floated for this purpose by the Videocon promoters. D2H+ is the brand name under which the service will be offered. We have already budgeted an investment of Rs 10 billion in this venture over the next two years.

DTH in India, with players like Dish TV, Tata Sky, Reliance ADAG and Bharti, will be a low ARPU (average revenue per user), high volume game

It established for expand the DTH market and distribution network which will provide the pipeline for mop up to one million subscribers in the first year.

It also launching Mobile Handsets in India under the banner of BBCL (Bharat Business Channel Limited) with brand name of Videocon with DTH service. DTH stands for Direct To Home which is a direct mode of transmission between “Broadcaster” and “Subscriber” through satellite.

DTH :

19

DTH stand for direct-to-home television. DTH is defined as the reception of satellite

programmes with a personal dish in an individual home. DTH does away with the need

for the local cable operators can receive satellite programmes and they then distribute

them

HOW DOES IT WORKS :

A DTH network consists of a broadcasting centre, satellites, encoders, multiplexers,

modulators and DTH receivers.

A DTH service provider has to lease ku-band transponders from the satellite. The

encoder converts the audio, video and data signals. At the user end, there will be a small

dish.

ABOUT DTH INDUSTRY:

20

In earlier days there was only one TV channel in India the “Doordarshan” channel Doordarshon was owned and operate by government of India. In those era every home which had a Tv set used to have its own antenna to capture the signals. The cable television ordinance law was passed in January 1995. This enabled cable operators to feed channels and later on private companies were allowed to air their own channels and this led to the explosive growth in number of tv channels and number of cable operators. The growth of Tv channels & cable operators created a big industry and market opportunities.

Until few years back there were as many as 1.0 Lakh cable operators across India. however the services provided by cable operators were poor. The strikes, increase in tariff plan, selective broadcast and poor services were major cause of dissatisfaction among the the customers. This has created an opportunity for DTH, which serves an immediate threat to the high-end cable networks.

There is an immense opportunity for DTH in India an market. The opportunity in India almost 11 times that in developed countries like the US an Europe. For every channel there is a scope for broadcasting it in at least ten different languages. So every channel multiplied by ten, that is the kind of scope for DTH in the country.

CURRENT PLAYERS:

The current players in DTH industry are –1. DD-direct + of Prasar Bharti, comprising of 33 fta channels and 12 all India

Radio channels.

2. Dish TV of zee group.

3. Tata Sky- the joint venture between Tata and Rupert Murdoch’s sky TV.

A recently survey done using the Television Audience Measurement (TAM) puts DD-Direct+ with 3.5 million homes and Tata sky capturing 1.0 million homes.

The following companies have either the liecence/latter of intent or applied for the license to operate DTH services-

1. Sun direct of sun network.

2. Reliance blue magic from Reliance ADAG.

3. Bharti Telemedia.

STRUCTURE OF INDIAN DTH MARKET:

21

The structure of the DTH industry in India can be categorized as an “oligopoly”. The word oligopoly is derived from the Greek for new sell. An oligopoly is a market from in which a market or industry is dominated by small number of sellers. An OLIGOPOLY is a market dominated by a few large suppliers. The degree of market concentration is very high. Firms within an oligopoly produce branded product and there are also barriers to entry.

The key characteristics of oligopoly market are following-

Few larger supplier dominates the market.

Independence between firms.

Each firm produces branded products.

Significance entry barriers into the market in the long run which allows firms to make supernormal profites.

Each industry oligopolist is aware of the actions of the others

ABOUT VIDEOCON DTH:

Bharat Business Channel, a Videocon group enterprise is offering DTH services under brand name Videocon d2h. Videocon is coming with their Direct to Home venture D2H with tag line of “Direct hai Correct Hai”. The slogan is quite meaningful at the first look as due to the features and a convenient price, it may soon gain a lot of popularity.

Direct To Home industry is showing good growth in last few months and two new records set by Dishtv added 4, 31,253 new customers in Oct’ 08 and newly launched Reliance BIG TV added 5, 00,000 in first 50 days of operation and industry experts now waiting results of Bharti Airtel’s Direct To Home venture Digital TV and upcoming service provider Videocon who is coming with D2H.

Videocon is about to give some serious competition to the existing DTH providers in terms of price as they are planning to give away their Set Top Boxes in less than a thousand bucks making it the cheapest rate so far for any brand. The reason behind this could be that Videocon is perhaps getting their STBs manufactured in the country itself rather than importing them. Also Videocon will be competing with DishTV, Tata sky, Sun Direct, DD Direct, BigTV, Airtel Digital TV.

Videocon d2h will provide unique active services, multi lingual user interface, more movies on demand channels, radio channels, cross genre tickers and many more value added services.

28

1. PRIMARY RESEARCH:

A Primary Research was conducted:

Different groups were made. All the different groups were given different areas. Everyone did surveys at their given assigned areas. Firstly we surveyed at retail shops and gathered information regarding all the

different DTH services. Then we went to different societies and asked people about their favorite

channels, programs and charges. The questionnaire was prepared for the companies and following areas covered

2. SECONDARY RESEARCH:

Data was collected from websites and catalogues to understand the product

of the different players.

Sources used for secondery data collection are company web site , DTH web

site etc.

3. DATA COLLECTION:

We were given forms having different questions. We asked these questions and came to know about people’s different choices of

DTH, it’s channels, charges and services.20% people were interested in Videocon DTH and rest 80% people were happy & satisfied.

4. ANALYSIS OF DATA:

29

Which service has more market share – DTH or cable? What are the facilities provided by the cable operators and the present DTH

service providers? Which are the 3 favorite channels commonly seen in every family? At last but not the least to know who the real are and the biggest competitors of

Videocon D2H+ in specific areas? What is the minimum rental, which customer has to pay to enjoy the service to

cable operators & to present D2H service providers also? What are the addresses and contact numbers and whether they are using DTH

services or cable? As the market is rigid so customers are not ready to easily adopt the DTH

service, as most of them are satisfied with the service provided by cable operators.

What actually they want from DTH services i.e. maintenance and fast services in which DISH TV is lacking and TATA SKY is leading?

LIMITATIONS

According to us there were so many limitations during project which were great hurdle in the competition of project-

1- First limitation was that we were in first trimester so we were not

56

equipped properly.

2- Time limitation was also there.3- We were not familiar to PUNE.4- Traveling was problem and due to Common Wealth Youth Games it became

more inconvenient.5- The people were not entertaining well.6- Many people unknown about VIDEOCON D2H+.7- Language was a great problem.

CONCLUSION

The price war has intensified in the direct-to-home (DTH) broadcasting space as the number of players has increased. The first DTH player in the country, Dish TV (of the Zee group), has slashed rates to an all-time low. It will now offer a `Happy Family Pack'

57

at Rs 1,990. At this entry point, you get a set-top box and 12 months of viewing for 125 channels spread over several genres, including 21 audio channels,

After a year, one can renew this pack and pay a monthly rental of Rs 100, around the same that a cable TV subscriber pays, Meanwhile, the Maxi package announced by Dish TV a few months ago continues. For this, you pay an entry price of Rs 3,990 in a year to get around 200 channels. There's no extra cost for the set-top box. After a year, the monthly rental is Rs 300.

Other players are not behind in the race either. DTH services of Tata Sky (a JV between the Tata group and Star TV) and Mr. Anil Ambani-promoted Big TV are being advertised through mass SMSes, just the way real estate schemes and mutual funds are.

A recent SMS announced, "TataSky with 400 days of subscription at Rs 3,999. And Big TV with six months at Rs 2,490. Installation within 48 hours."

The trend suggests that DTH is where competition is, according to a source in the industry. There are four private players and one state-owned platform already, and at two more are waiting to join in. Currently, Dish TV has a market share of 54%, with 3.8 million DTH subscribers, while TataSky has 2.2 million. Big TV, which launched its DTH service recently, has not issued any subscriber numbers yet.

Sun TV also offers DTH but only in the south. Sun too has pan-India ambitions. The other two planning to join the DTH race are Bharti and Videocon. According to a senior official of Videocon, its launching DTH in October/November. Bharti, meanwhile, has to get FIPB (Foreign Investment Promotion Board) approval before starting its DTH service. It is believed that Bharti would start DTH around end of this year. Besides these, there's Prasar Bharati's free-to-air DTH platform as well. In all, there are around 6 million DTH users in the country.

DTH is a satellite broadcasting system through a pizza-sized dish and a set-top box, which eliminates the neighborhood cable wallah. Of the 120-million TV households in India, only 70 million have cable connection. DTH is still in its infancy in India, and there's sufficient room for growth. By the year 2015, 40% of the pay TV universe (cable TV and DTH) are likely to be DTH users,

WHAT I LEARNED IN THIS PROJECT:

58

This was one experience where I met people from various walks of life, the diverse ways of thinking (about the same thing), the volatile nature, their perception of marketers, their ways of life all came forth and at the end of the day you feel you can understand humans better but the next day you are back to square one starting all over again.

There’s one aspect that comes into play when you go out in the streets that is going on ‘cold calls’, going and meeting people without appointments, without any know how’s. There are only two people who do it, one is the man looking for jobs and the others marketers, and I feel we are more despised. It requires lots of guts but has a bearing on you mettle, it develops your soft skills and I do feel the change.

I learned how to deal with customers on telephone, like how to start communication, explain the business, satisfying his queries and fixing appointments.

Another important thing that I developed here was building a bond and relationship with people.

A great percentage of hesitation within me evaporated while interacting with the senior personnel of the corporate.

During training I learnt about the corporate meetings, seminars, training and what material a marketing personnel should keep with him.

Learned about the management, planning, punctuality and the benefits of regular following of client and maintaining dairy.

I have learned from this project what is DTH & how DTH work & how Videocon D2T is better from other .How much facility in Videocon D2T .
