EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Today most of the organizations try to cut down their costs either

by outsourcing their non – core activities or by improving their

systems. Few of the HR activities are non-core for an organization

like recruiting people, payroll processing, Annual Maintenance

Contract and Technical Training, etc. These activities are such that

they had become a routine for an organization and they don’t bring

any value addition for a company in terms of either the top line or

bottom line. Also to outsource this HR related activities companies

had to go for different vendors because none of the vendors

provide complete solution. HCL Infosystems Ltd took up this

opportunity and provided one stop solution for all the IT related

services. Already HCL was known for providing the IT services

and hence by providing other kind of IT services HCL has

expanded its scope of work. Today HCL Infosystems is one of the

leading IT service providers in India.

Pune is seeing a huge potential today as many companies are

setting up their plants and offices in and around Pune. There are

many industrial sectors developed by MIDC and also had got the

recognition of being a SEZ area. Pune is also into the building of

the IT hub at Hinjewadi. Already there IT companies like Infosys,

Wipro and TCS who has set their campuses in Pune which they are

also expanding with the expansion of their business. Pune is also

attracting the auto companies to set up their manufacturing plants

in and around Pune. Already their were major auto companies like

Tata Motors, Bajaj, Force Motors, John Deere, etc. who had set

their plants in Pune.

This new and new companies entering into Pune would require

someone who can help them in carrying out their technical

activities and run their organization smoothly. They would require

registering their companies under ROC and other various

government organizations like PF office, PT office, etc. HCL sees

a huge potential in the Pune market. As on today there are more

than 500 IT companies and more than 3000 Manufacturing

companies in Pune and which keeps on increasing at an incredible

rate. Hence HCL Infosystems wants to tap this Pune market by

offering various IT services.

INTRODUCTION

This report is about two month’s summer training at HCL

Infosystems Limited as a summer trainee. The title of project was

“Market Potential Estimate for HCL Infosystems -CDC

(Career Development center) in Pune”.

The project profile was as under:

Step 1: Building up database of companies in Pune.

Step 2: Getting the concerned contact person details (like HR

persons Name, E-mail ID, Phone Numbers, etc.)

Step 3: Requesting the concerned person for an appointment.

Step 4: Meeting and introducing them about HCL CDC service

offerings.

This was a kind of Business Development job. I learnt and

understood the process of BD in a service industry. I got an idea of

what all problems arise while selling a service offering to a

prospect in the real business world.

I was in Business Development team where the main activity is to

generate lead. It was the first time I faced this kind of job profile. I

made my first cold call on a telephone and also made my first

presentation to any company. I gained the knowledge of how to

start sales activity in new market which starts from territory

mapping to managing and handling the clients.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF COMPANY

STRENGTH

Customize solutions to support varying client requirements

Suryadatta Institute of Management and Mass Communication, Pune

23

Page 24: RAJEEV Summer Training Report Sgi

HCL Infosystems Ltd, Pune

Automate business practices in line with world-class

standards.

Institutionalize best practices across industry through

continuous learning.

Company has 59 branches in India and also its presence in 14

nations globally.

WEAKNESS

Lack of awareness about the HCL’s services amongst the

companies. Most of the companies and institutions relate HCL as

one of the Computer manufacturing company. They are not much

aware about other services that HCL is into.

Since HCL is providing customized services as per the clients

requirement there is no standard fixed price for this services. The

cost will vary according to the scope of work required to be done

by HCL.

OPPORTUNITY

Suryadatta Institute of Management and Mass Communication, Pune

24

Page 25: RAJEEV Summer Training Report Sgi

HCL Infosystems Ltd, Pune

Because of the boom in economy, there is rapid growth in the

number of new companies entering in the Pune. More and more

areas are developed under the development scheme of SEZ. Also

Pune is serving as the IT hub on the map of India. The

manufacturing sector is no where lying behind. All the major Auto

firms had established their plants in and around Pune. The need of

Technical Training related services is being pronounced by the

companies due to this growth which is going to continue for at

least next 5 to 7 years. There is a lot of untapped market in the

region for HCL. HCL group companies are in the market since

1976 and it has already fixed up its roots so HCL CDC has an

advantage to widen its market and make its presence.

THREAT

As this is booming industry, there are many new entries in the

market which increases the competition.

There are various services that can be offered like SAP, Embedded

services, Network outsourcing.

Suryadatta Institute of Management and Mass Communication, Pune

25

Page 26: RAJEEV Summer Training Report Sgi

HCL Infosystems Ltd, Pune

So new players or existing players offer customer this services.

There are companies which have divided this offering and they are

offering only a part of it i.e. they have specialized in only one or

two of the particular services. So they all are the competitor of the

company who takes away the share from market. HCL has one

advantage that it can offer all the above services.

HCL Infosystems Ltd is also working in the same premises. In any

case if it is not offering its services well; it will surely affect the

business of HCL CDC. This can be seen as the other way round

also i.e. if HCL CDC is not serving well to its clients than it would

affect the parent company.

THE COMPANY & REQUESTING FOR AN

APPOINTMENT

MEETING CLIENTS

TERRITORY MAPPING:

Under my project I had collected & validated existing as well as

new data that I was to collect. I had mapped various areas like

Sanaswadi, Ranjangaon & also Hinjewadi. By mapping this areas I

actually came to know which all companies to target and which to

not, which all companies are existing which are actually present

and so. By actually visiting the areas like this reveals actual and

true information of the company. This is not like the data available

from the internet which would not be updated for years. Although I

had took lot of help of the internet and local helpline services to

get the required data. Actually their was one existing data base on

the STPI website for the IT companies of Pune which I had

validated and done necessary changes in it. Some companies are

too small, either in terms of the number of employees or in terms

of their turnover to avail our services so I sorted out such

companies also so that one doesn’t waste time in such companies. I

had covered industries like chemical, construction, auto

components manufacturer, BPO, Courier Company, and other IT

& manufacturing companies.

Suryadatta Institute of Management and Mass Communication, Pune

27

Page 28: RAJEEV Summer Training Report Sgi

HCL Infosystems Ltd, Pune

I had made a database which describes details such as

Name of the company,

Contact Details

Contact person details like name & email ids, etc.

ESTABLISHING CONTACT WITH THE HEAD HR OF

THE COMPANY & REQUESTING FOR AN

APPOINTMENT:

Establishing contact with the head HR of the company was one of

the steps that I took before actual meeting with him. I use to get in

touch with head HR of the company before meeting to take an

appointment with him or to brief them about our offerings.

Many companies thought that HCL is only into PC manufacturing

as per their knowledge. In such cases I explained the company that

we are the same group company but different SBU all together.

HCL CDC had a different management that from HCL

Technologies.

Sometimes few Companies had a bad experience with HCL, in that

case I handled them very care fully and explained them we have

different management and we have nothing to do from HCL

Technologies.

Suryadatta Institute of Management and Mass Communication, Pune

28

Page 29: RAJEEV Summer Training Report Sgi

HCL Infosystems Ltd, Pune

Generally companies send email, do phone call or send brochure

for introduction of the offerings and to establish relationship with

the clients. In that they just tell briefly about all offerings and when

they meet they discuss the offerings in which the client is

interested.

For my work I used to make calls in the company, get connected to

the HR person through the board line, ask the HR for their details

like name and e-mail id. This was not all I used to brief the HR

about our service offerings and ask him/her for an appointment so

that I could make a detailed presentation and could know about the

requirements of the prospects. Most of the times HR person used to

give their e-mail id and asked me to first send details regarding the

company and what it has to offer. Their were few HR persons also

who already knew about the company and so they would either

gave the appointment or asked me to call later next week to get an

appointment as that week was too busy for them. I mostly used to

send e-mail to the HR before meeting him/her so as to make

him/her aware about offerings.

This e-mail was giving only the brief introduction about our

offerings. I could have sent very well full details of company but I

didn’t because we have to create demand. In many companies we

need to make them realize that your company needs outsourcing.

Suryadatta Institute of Management and Mass Communication, Pune

29

Page 30: RAJEEV Summer Training Report Sgi

HCL Infosystems Ltd, Pune

There are many resistances but still we make it happen. If we send

full detail mail in beginning probably the person may not

understand it or over estimate it. To not let this happen I use to

send only introduction letter. One advantage of sending brief e-

mail is that if customer wants to know about any of our services he

has to approach us and that time we can pitch the clients for the

services. It was to establish the contact with the clients primarily so

When I meet the client it is based on some relationship which gives

friendly relationship with client.

In doing this work many times I face problem of not getting

appointment, the assistant of HR does not pass the e-mail to the

concern person and directly says we are not interested, he does not

even pass the phone call to him so that at that time any how we

need to keep on following up for the meeting.

The best part of it is if the person has gone through the e-mail than

we need not explain him/her everything and we can directly

discuss the offering in which he/she was interested.

The learning in this part is that always try to make friendly relation

with your customer so as to understand them more.

MEETING CLIENTS:

Suryadatta Institute of Management and Mass Communication, Pune

30

Page 31: RAJEEV Summer Training Report Sgi

HCL Infosystems Ltd, Pune

Meeting clients was the most fascinating part of my work. The

ultimate aim of the meeting was to associate with the client

company and get business for the HCL-CDC.

Generally the meeting would take place at the client place. The aim

of any meeting was to bring business to the company. In meetings

I used to present the company’s brochure and the visiting card to

the HR person and give a presentation of the HCL services. It was

the first face to face interaction of client and service provider so

service provider should be completely prepared to answer the

client.

The format of power point presentation is as given below:

Introduction of the company

Introduction/list of the offerings

Details of each offering

Product or service differentiation

Advantages over other service provider

Existing client list

Meeting seems very interesting but it needs lots of home work.

Before sales person go for a meeting he/she must understand all

the offerings of the company. He should also know the offerings of

competitors, company’s strength, weakness, differential advantage

over competitors, and prices offerings of company as well of

Suryadatta Institute of Management and Mass Communication, Pune

31

Page 32: RAJEEV Summer Training Report Sgi

HCL Infosystems Ltd, Pune

competition. It is important to know all this because customer

always contacts many sellers before buying any product or service.

So as to be at par or better than competition person should be

aware of the industry status.

Before going to meeting I understood all my offerings from my

senior, from company’s site and from company’s brochure.

HCL-CDC is purely service provider firm and also it provides

customized services to its client, so we were to be very conscious

about pricing. We would never tell the exact pricing of any of our

offerings to the clients since it would depend on number of factors

such as the scope of the job, number of employees, etc. Pricing

part would be revealed to the client only in the proposal. This

proposal could be made only after knowing the prospects

requirements and the scope of work involved. The proposal was

then sent to the prospect and then he/she would decide taking the

concern of the company’s directors to go and hire the services or

not.

I met different types of prospects. Some prospects are genuinely

interested in doing the business. Such prospects talk to the point

and do not waste time. If these prospects are properly followed up

they can become customer of the company. Many prospects are not

much interested, so this type of prospects needs to be taken care of.

There are few prospects also who are not interested in the offerings

but just wanted to pass their time.

After meetings, clients need to be followed up properly, who ever

requires proposal I send them proposal and we also need to keep

track of the dates of the contract getting over of the prospects with

other company so that we can do follow up with them.

Learning from the meetings was the highest. I learned how to

present myself as well HCL’s service offerings. Companies would

always be interested in knowing the cost part of our service

offerings. As this is service industry there is not much

differentiation in the offerings and if at all it is not visible so

generally the bargaining power of the client Increases. In many

companies clients are asking for list of existing customers so that

he can decide our company’s potential.

My communication skill was poor when I started my project but at

the end I was more confident and clear.

Patients were the most important thing in meeting. Many times I

had to wait for client in his office & many times after getting an

appointment also the client does not meet. In this situation I needed

to be patient. I always follow one principle which is “customer is

always right”.

If meeting was positive then there was lot of work and calculation

that needed to be done to make the proposal & send to the client.

Here the next step starts which is buying back business.

Handling the client

Generating the data base

How to start up sales activity in new market

Got the actual implementation of what I have learnt

RECOMMENDATIONS:

HCL-CDC could increase the awareness for their services. Still the

market knows HCL as a Hardware manufacturing company. So

HCL-CDC could try to focus on making a corporate presence. This

could be done by organizing and sponsoring various activities such

as NHRD meets, etc. The company can also give their articles and

ads in the leading Business Magazines.

Since more and more companies are setting up their units in and

around Pune region, HCL could try and pitch these companies.

There are many SEZ areas also which are bringing huge

investment in the Pune region. HCL can keep an eye on these new

companies and target them.

LIMITATIONS

The main limitations of the study are:

Time constraint

Due to so much competition in the market corporate people

did not easily ready to give any type of information.

Some companies are New in the market so they don’t have

enough Experience of behavior of consumers in market.

Mostly retailers don’t want to give information and act

rudely. Some even refuse to give response.

Some of the company employs told to trainee all information

could be given by our head office.

Consumers also not easily ready for gave the answers.
