Many students may have done work on this project in different ways. I have also tried to
work on this project in different ways.
It was for the first time I got the opportunity to work in such a prestigious and well

INTRODUCTION
It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is often part of a Balanced
Scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer
satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of
business strategy.
PURPOSE
1.<Within organizations, the collection, analysis and dissemination of these data send a
message about the importance of tending to customers and ensuring that they have a
positive experience with the company9s goods and services.=
2.<Although sales or market share can indicate how well a firm is performing currently,
satisfaction is perhaps the best indicator of how likely it is that the firm9s customers
will make further purchases in the future. Much research has focused on the
relationship between customer satisfaction and retention. Studies indicate that the
ramifications of satisfaction are most strongly realized at the extremes.=
On a five-point scale, <individuals who rate their satisfaction level as 859 are likely to
become return customers and might even evangelize for the firm. (A second important
metric related to satisfaction is willingness to recommend. This metric is defined as <The
percentage of surveyed customers who indicate that they would recommend a brand to
friends.= When a customer is satisfied with a product, he or she might recommend it to
friends, relatives and colleagues. This can be a powerful marketing advantage.) <Individuals
who rate their satisfaction level as 81,9 by contrast, are unlikely to return. Further, they can
hurt the firm by making negative comments about it to prospective customers. Willingness
to recommend is a key metric relating to customer satisfaction.

CHAPTER –II
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Indian mobile telephony market is increasing day by day and there is more to happen
with technological up gradations occurring nearly every day and the ever-increasing demand
for easier and faster connectivity, the mobile telephony market is expected to race ahead.
India has a fast-growing mobile services market with excellent potential for the
future. With almost 5 million subscribers amassed in less than two years of operation, India's
growth tempo has far exceeded that of numerous other markets, such as China and Thailand,
which have taken more than five years to reach the figures India currently holds. The
number of mobile phone subscribers in the country would exceed 50 million by 2005 and
cross 300 million by 2010, according to Cellular Operators Association of India (COAL).
According to recent strategic research by Frost & Sullivan, Indian Cellular Services Market,
such growth rates can be greatly attributed to the drastically falling price of mobile handsets,
with price playing a fundamental role in Indian subscriber requirements. Subscribers in
certain regions can acquire the handset at almost no cost, thanks to the mass-market stage
these technologies have reached internationally. The Indian consumer can buy a handset for
$150 or less. This should lead to increased subscribership. This market is growing at an
extremely fast pace and so is the competition between the mobile service providers.
With the presence of a number of mobile telephony services providers including
market leaders like Airtel, Reliance, Idea, Vodafone, Tata Indicom etc who are providing
either of the two network technologies such as Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). In cellular service there are two main
competing network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).
The Company's wireless network runs on a GSM technology. The mobile telephony
services providers Airtel, Vodafone, have been competing aggressively for their market share
with MTNL, Tata Indicom, Reliance and Idea Cellular entering into the foray, this tussle has
only become more tough. With major market share in the hands of the likes of Reliance,
Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular the others have been finding it difficult to compete in the
market. The Telecom Regulatory Authority Of India (TRAI) has been playing an important
role in keeping a watch on these existing players and bringing new environment as well as
policies and reforms for these Mobile Telephony Service Providers and permitting them to
provide mobile telephony services including permission to carry its own long distance traffic
within their service area without seeking an additional license. TRAI's mission is to create
and nurture conditions for the growth of telecommunications including broadcasting and
cable services in the country in a manner and at a pace which will enable India to play a
leading role in the emerging global information society. The service providers are free to
provide, in its service area of operation, all types of mobile services including voice and
non-voice messages, data services and PCO's. The Operators would be required to pay a
one-time entry fee. The basis for determining the entry fee and the basis for selection of
additional operators would be recommended by the TRAI.
Although the cellular services market in India grew during the late 1990s (as the
number of players increased and tariffs and handset prices came down significantly) the
growth was rather marginal. This was because the cellular service providers offered only
post-paid cellular services, which were still perceived to be very costly as compared to
landline communications. Following this realization, the major cellular service providers in
India, launched pre-paid cellular services in the late 1990s. The main purpose of these
services was to target customers from all sections of society (unlike post-paid services,
which were targeted only at the premium segment).

Cellular telephony was introduced in India during the early 1990s. At that time, there were
only two major private players, Bharti (Airtel) and Essar (Essar) and both these
companies offered only post-paid services. Initially, the cellular services market registered
limited growth. Moreover, these services were mostly restricted to the metros. Other factors
such as lack of awareness among people, lack of infrastructural facilities, low standard of
living, and government regulations were also responsible for the slow growth of cellular
phone.
