In the year of 1989, the number of cell phone users in India was zero. In the
year of 1999 the number of cell phone users has gone up by 13 lakh. In the year of
2000 the number of cell phone users has risen by one million. Indian telecom sector
added a staggering 227.27 million wireless mobile users in the 12 months between
March 2010 and March 2011, while the overall teledensity has increased to 81.82% as
of 30 November 2015, and the total numbers of telephone phone users (mobile &
landline) have reached 1009.46 million as of May,2015.Now currently telephone
subscriber (mobile & landline) is 1058.01 million (May 2016).
The company is reconfiguring to meet the growing demand for mobile services.It
will differentiate our mobile services from our competitors through ongoing

The company is updating our retail footprint to a new Reliance JIO concept delivering
a differentiated customer experience. A core part of our promise to customers is to
ensure that their technical experts in store transfer all their personal data to their new
LYF phone allowing them to walk out of the store with their phone fully functional.
Extensive trials of our new concept store across all markets have shown significant
increases in both sales and customer satisfaction. The new concept will be rolled out
globally over the next upcoming years.
INDUSTRY PROFILE
India has a fast-growing mobile services market with excellent potential for the future.
With almost five million subscribers a massed 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 2015 and cross 300 million by 2019, according to Cellular Operators
Association of India (COAI).
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 Cellular, BSNL 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). Understanding the difference between
GSM and CDMA will allow the user to choose the preferable network technology for
his needs. Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is a new digital
technology developed by the European community to create a common mobile
standard around the world. It helps you achieve higher sell capacity and better speech
quality and one can enjoy crystal clear reception on ones mobile phone. It
automatically solves the problem of eavesdropping on ones calls.
Before analyzing the telecom licensing framework in India, it is imperative that one
must examine what is a license. License issued by the government is an authority, given
to a person upon certain conditions to do something which would have been illegal or
wrongful otherwise.
For example, a driver’s license issued by the government, gives the authority to a person
to drive a motor vehicle. There are three main types of license fee which the
government charges: (I) initial license fee, which generally is non-refundable, (ii) annual
license fee, and (iii) additional fee for allocation of spectrum.
Licensing framework has been an integral part of India’s telecommunication law. Under
the
Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, section 4 gives power to the government to grant license
to any person to establish, maintain or use a telegraph.
The National Telecom Policy was announced in 1994 which aimed at improving
India's competitiveness in the global market and provide a base for a rapid growth in
exports. This policy eventually facilitated the emergence of Internet services in India
on the back of established basic telephony communication network. This policy also
paved way for the entry of the private sector in telephone services.
The main objectives of the policy were:
To ensure telecommunication is within the reach of all, that is, to ensure
availability of telephone on demand as early as possible
To achieve universal service covering all villages, that is, enable all people to
access certain basic telecom services at affordable and reasonable prices
ESTABLISHMENT OF TRAI
The entry of private players necessitated independent regulation in the sector;
therefore, the TRAI was established in 1997 to regulate telecom services, for
fixation/revision of tariffs, and also to fulfil the commitments made when India joined
the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995. The establishment of TRAI was a
positive step as it separated the regulatory function from policy- making and
In recognition of the fact that the entry of the private sector, which was envisaged
during NTP- 94, was not satisfactory and in response to the concerns of the private
operators and investors about the viability of their business due to non realization of
targeted revenues the government decided to come up with a new telecom policy. The
most important milestone and instrument of telecom reforms in India is the New
Telecom Policy 1999 (NTP 99). The New Telecom Policy, 1999 (NTP-99) was
approved on 26th March 1999, to become effective from 1st April 1999.Moreover,
convergence of both markets and technologies required realignment of the industry. To
achieve India’s vision of becoming an IT superpower along with developing a world
class telecom infrastructure in the country, there was a need to develop a new
telecom policy framework. Accordingly, the NTP 1999 was framed with the following
objectives and targets:
Availability of affordable and effective communication for citizens was at the core
of the vision and goal of the new telecom policy
Provide a balance between provision of universal service to all uncovered areas,
including rural areas, and the provision of high-level services capable of
meeting the needs of the economy
Encourage development of telecommunication facilities in remote, hilly
and tribal areas of the nation
To facilitate India’s journey to becoming an IT superpower by creating a modern and
efficient
telecommunication infrastructure taking into account the convergence of IT,
media, telecom and consumer electronics
Convert PCOs, wherever justified, into public telephone information centers
having multimedia capability such as ISDN services, remote database access,
government and community information systems etc.
To bring about a competitive environment in both urban and rural areas by
providing equal opportunities and level playing field for all players
Providing a thrust to build world-class manufacturing capabilities and also strengthen
research and development efforts in the country
Achieve efficiency and transparency in spectrum management
Protect the defense and security interests of the country
Enable Indian telecom companies to become global players.
BSNL is the market leader with a 67.7 per cent share followed by MTNL with
11.5 per cent market share. Next is Bharti Airtel at 10.9% followed by Tata and
Reliance at 5% and 4.1% respectively.
Also, with the government intensifying its rural focus, only BSNL can turn into
reality the next wave of rural telecom penetration.
BSNL is a 100% Central Government entity and employees with BSNL are
entitled to get salaries and perks as decided by Government of India and not by
BSNL
However both, MTNL and BSNL are plagued by declining revenues coupled
with high costs. BSNL has massive infrastructure, manpower, systems, and
80 per cent of landlines and 90 per cent of broadband connections in India
are operated by it.
“Vodafone is investing nearly US$ 3 bil ion over the next two years in India in
expanding its network infrastructure and distribution channel in the country,” as
per Vittorio Colao, CEO, Vodafone Plc.
Tata Teleservices plans to set up nearly 4,000 wi-fi hotspots in nine cities across
the country in the next two years.
BOOMING SECTORS
The tide has turned for the telecom sector in India, as growth and profitability
has accelerated in recent times. Tower companies are reaping benefits of a
turnaround in the sector as operators have started investing in networks to boost
datapenetration.
A LOOK AHEAD
According to Craig Wigginton, vice chairman and U.S. Telecommunications
leader, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the big challenge for the telecom industry in
2016 – which also presents a major growth opportunity for the sector – is that
consumers are getting addicted to connectivity and high speed.
The ongoing expansion of the mobile ecosystem, coupled with demand for high-
bandwidth applications and services such as video and gaming, is keeping
pressure on the industry to increase the availability and quality of broadband
connectivity.
What does this mean for players in the sector? Carriers will continue to pursue
technological advancements to handle demand, including offloading some
mobile bandwidth needs to Wi- Fi, which is proving an effective complement to
mobile networks. At the same time, long-term spectrum availability, spectrum
efficiency, small cells and continued backhaul improvements are likely to be a
key focus to assure continued mobile broadband momentum.

India market, reliable (4th generation) high speed internet connectivity, rich
communication services and various digital services on pan India basis in key domains
such as education, healthcare, security, financial services, government citizen interfaces
and entertainment. RJIL aims to provide anytime, anywhere access to innovative and
empowering digital content, applications and services, thereby propelling India into
global leadership in digital economy.
RJIL is also deploying an enhanced packet core network to create futuristic high
capacity infrastructure to handle huge demand for data and voice. In addition to high
speed data, the 4G network will provide voice services from / to non-RJIL network.
RJIL holds spectrum in 1800 MHz (across 14 circles) and 2300 MHz (across 22
circles) capable of offering fourth generation (4G) wireless services. RJIL plans to
provide seamless 4G services using FDD-LTE on 1800 MHz and TDD-LTE on 2300
MHz through an integrated ecosystem.
Reliance Jio is part of the “Bay Of Bengal Gateway” Cable System, planned to
provide connectivity between South East Asia, South Asia and the Middle East, and
also to Europe, Africa and to the
Far East Asia through interconnections with other existing and newly built cable
systems landing in India, the Middle East and Far East Asia.
RJIL’s subsidiary has been awarded with a Facility Based Operator License (“FBO
License”) in Singapore which will allow it to buy, operate and sell undersea and/or
terrestrial fibre connectivity, setup its internet point of presence, offer internet transit
and peering services as well as data and voice roaming services in Singapore.
The company, which plans to be rolled out commercial telecom service operations from
January, is currently in the testing phase for most of its offerings including 4G services, a
host of mobile phone applications and delivery of television content over its fibre optic
network.
R-Jio, meanwhile, faces its share of challenges in terms of return on investment and
capturing market share. The company, according to industry analysts, is expected to
spend $8-9 billion for the 4G roll- out. The company will battle for subscribers with
leading telcos such as Bharti Airtel Ltd, Vodafone India Pvt Ltd and Idea Cellular Ltd.
The services were beta launched to Jio's partners and employees on 27 December
2015 on the eve of 83rd birth anniversary of late Dhirubhai Ambani, founder of
Reliance Industries.
"Digital India as company has seen empowers them to fulfil their aspirations.Reliance
JIO has invested over Rs. 2,50,000 crores across the Digital India pillars," Ambani said,
adding: "I estimate Reliance's 'Digital India' investments will create employment for
over 5,00,000 people. " Ambani said the launch of Digital India initiative was a
momentous occasion in an information age where digitization was changing the way
one lives, learns, works and plays. It can transform the lives of 1.2 billion Indians using
the power of digital technology. And as well as "So 80 percent of the 1.3 billion
Indians will have high-speed, mobile Internet. And by 2017, company would cover
90 percent. And by 2018, all of India would be covered by this digital infrastructure,"
HISTORY
In June 2019, Reliance Industries (RIL) bought a 96% stake in Infotel Broadband
Services Limited (IBSL) for Rs 4,800cr. Although unlisted, IBBL was the only firm to
win broadband spectrum in all 22 zones in India in the 4G auction that took place
earlier that year.Later continuing as RIL's telecom subsidiary, Infotel Broadband
Services Limited was renamed as Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) in January
2013.
AGREEMENTS:
An agreement with Ascend Telecom for their more than 4,500 towers
across India. (June 2014)
An agreement with Tower Vision for their 8,400 towers across India. (May 2014)
An agreement with ATC India for their 11,000 towers across India. (April 2014)
An agreement with Viom Networks for their 42,000 telecom towers. (March 2014)
Agreement with Bharti Airtel for a comprehensive telecom infrastructure
sharing agreement to share infrastructure created by both parties to avoid
duplication of infrastructure wherever possible. (December 2013)
A key agreement for international data connectivity with Bharti to utilise
dedicated fiber pair of Bharti’s i2i submarine cable that connects India and
Singapore. (April 2013)
Agreements with Reliance Communications Limited for sharing of RCOM’s
extensive inter-city and intra-city optic fiber infrastructure of nearly 1,20,000
fiber-pair kilometers of optic fiber and 500,000 fiber pair kilometers
respectively (April 2013 / April 2014), and 45,000 towers (June2013).
TECHNOLOGY:
Reliance Jio Infocomm is currently laying OFC across the country to offer Fiber
to the home/premises (FTTH). This fiber backbone will also help them to carry
huge amount of data originated from their 4G network as well as public Wi-Fi
network.
Reliance Jio is deploying LTE-TDD technology for 2.3 GHz spectrum band, acquired
in 2010.
Reliance Jio will deploy LTE-FDD for 1.8 GHz spectrum, which will
ultimately paved to roll out of LTE-A network aggregation of both technology
and both spectrum band.
At present in different cities of India Reliance Jio offers Wi-Fi services. Most of
these cities are in Gujarat, where Reliance Industries also have one of the largest
petro- refinery.
Once commercial y launched, Jio users can have access to Reliance
Communications’ 2G & 3G network.
OPERATIONS
In June 2015, Jio announced that it will start its operations all over the country by
the end of year. However, four months later in October 2015, the company's
spokesmen sent out a press release stating that the launch was postponed to the first
quarter of the financial year 2016-2017. Later in July, a PIL filed in the Supreme
Court by an NGO called the Centre for Public Interest Litigation, through Prashant
Bhushan, challenged the grant of pan-India licence to Jio by the Government of
India. The PIL also alleged that Jio was allowed to provide voice telephony along
with its 4G data service, by paying an additional fees of just 165.8 crore (US$25
million) which was arbitrary and unreasonable, and contributed to a loss of 2,284.2
crore (US$340 million) to the exchequer.
The Indian Department of Telecom (DoT), however, refuted all of CAG's claims. In its
statement, DoT explained that the rules for 3G and BWA spectrum didn't restrict BWA
winners from providing voice telephony. As a result, the PIL was revoked, and the
accusations were dismissed.
BETA LAUNCH
The 4G services were launched internally to Jio's partners, its staff and their families on
27 December 2015. Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, who is also the brand
ambassador of Jio, kickstarted the launch
event which took place in Reliance Corporate Park in Navi Mumbai, along with
celebrities like musician A R Rahman, actors Ranbir Kapoor and Javed Jaffrey, and
filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani.The closed event was witnessed by more than 35000 RIL
employees some of whom were virtually connected from around 1000 locations
including Dallas in the US.
The company has launched its 4G broadband services throughout India in the first
quarter of 2016 financial year.It was slated to release in December 2015 after some
reports said that the company was waiting to receive final permits from the
government.Mukesh Ambani, owner of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) whose
Reliance Jio is the telecom subsidiary, had unveiled details of Jio's fourth- generation
(4G) services on 12 June 2015 at RIL's 41st annual general meeting. It will offer data
and voice services with peripheral services like instant messaging, live TV, movies on
demand, news, streaming music, and a digital payments platform.
The company has a network of more than 250,000 km of fiber optic cables in the
country, over which it will be partnering with local cable operators to get broader
connectivity for its broadband services. With its multi-service operator (MSO) licence,
Jio will also serve as a TV channel distributor and will offer television-on-demand on
its network.
PAN-INDIA SPECTRUM
Jio owns spectrum in 800 MHz and 1,800 MHz bands in 10 and 6 circles,
respectively, of the total 22 circles in the country, and also owns pan-India licensed
2,300 MHz spectrum. The spectrum is valid till 2035.Ahead of its digital services
launch, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio entered into a spectrum sharing deal with
younger brother Anil Ambani-backed Reliance Communications. The sharing deal is
for 800 MHz band across seven circles other than the 10 circles for which Jio already
owns.
Reliance jio’s vision for India is that broadband and digital services will no longer be a
luxury item
,Rather convert it into a basic necessity that can be consumed in abundance by
consumers and smal businesses .The initiatives are truly aligned with the Government
of India's ‘Digital India’ vision for our nation.

as Jio's brand ambassador.
CHAPTER-2
LITERATURE REVIEW
Abhishek Kumar Singh and Malhar Pangrikar (2013) did a study titled “A Study
Report, to Find out Market Potential for 4G Businesses in Hyderabad”. The Report is al
about “Study of market potential for 4G business in pune” and also to know about the
customer perceptions and attitudes towards their current service provider. Satisfaction
level of the customers was also judged. The customer expectations were analyzed
thoroughly. Major factors considered in research are: what are the needs of the
companies based on the data services usage, major player in internet services, and
support to customers. The research was conducted on companies mainly from
Industries like IT, Education, Manufacturing and others which are located in Pune city.
It is clear from the survey done that Reliance & Tata are Leading Internet service
Provider; they are providing products like Data Card, Broadband etc to the corporate
end users. Most of the companies are getting internet speed form 1MBPS-4MBPS.
Most of the companies are having good perception about 4 G and are willing to switch
to it from their current service provider. Speed of 4G is around than 30 to 35 MBPS,
is going to boom the Market. Because majority of the companies are facing Speed
problem with their current ISP.
At the moment, many companies have established projects for 4G systems developmet.
4G can provide services for a wide range of speed facility that support global roaming
and each company will be able to interact with internet-based information and available
in every part of country.
At 4G,The Company have always sought to enhance value for you as a customer by
providing you the most relevant and easy to use services through innovation and by
harnessing the latest developments in technology. In line with this strategy, constantly
introduced 4G innovative services to suit customer unique needs and wants. These 4G
trends in the market and among customers generate a demand for high speed and more
rapidly changing services and also expectation for a different approach to technology
development.
As well as imposing requirements in terms of 4G technology development, trends such
as mass individualization call for a responsive answer to a sharply increasing market
demand. Successful growth and diffusion of 4G services is focusing customer
satisfaction on how mobile relates to 4G networks. Accordingly, it is necessary for
company to review current frameworks in those instances where changes might impede
the offering of certain aspects.
Consumer perception about 4G much more volatile, much less predictable and
increasingly concerned with instant gratification. The expectation is that in due course
this trend towards individualization will become a more important factor in the
emerging markets too, particularly in the every areas.In future, 4G services over
mobile networks and company need to review current regulatory frameworks to
enhance innovation and competition in the market of these services.
customer satisfaction is a measure of how 4G services supplied by a company meet
customer expectation. In today’s tough economic climate all companies need to
improve efficiency and, even in midsize firms that usually mean coordinating large
quantities of information. However, technology and thinking has progressed and, many
of user nowadays using 4G services. Customer satisfaction is defined as a customer’s
overal evaluation of the performance of an offering to date. This overall satisfaction
has a strong positive effect on customer loyalty intentions across a wide range of 4G
service s.
Many companies have been gaining rising popularity due to the advances in 4G
technologies and the large increase in the number of its users. The companies that
expand beyond services and develop a content distribution platform will win
customers’s expectation. Companies couldnot follow constant rules to be successful in
potential markets. There is not a list of actions that lead companies to more profit or
more customer satisfaction.Because 4G services are increasingly spread out all over
India.And every customer are preferred these 4Gservices.
This satisfaction has positive influences on retaining customers among different variety
of 4G services. Satisfaction refers to achieving the things we want. If satisfaction
interprets as "not going wrong" the firm should decrease complaint which by its own
is not sufficient. In order to satisfy customers, company should improve its 4G services.
Customers with less expectation are more satisfied, companies by adding innovative
4G features would easily increase customer satisfaction. Customer retention is directly
influenced by customer satisfaction. Retention is a major challenge particularly in
internet based services, as customers can easily switch from one service to another at
low cost. Customer satisfaction is the key factor determining how successful the
company will be in competitive market,therefore it is very important to measure it.
To better manage customer satisfaction, company spend millions on effectively tracking
the methods that guarantee customer satisfaction, because the quantitative measurement
of customer satisfaction is a great help for comprehensively measuring the effect of 4G
on customer satisfaction.
Even though the sector has reflected promising growth, the tele density in India still
remains at a very low level compared with international standards and thus providing
tremendous opportunity for future growth. In the medium-term, the industry is expected
to continue to record good subscriber growth as a result of low penetration levels,
heightened competition; a sustained fall in minimumsubscription cost and tariff that
increase affordability for lower-income rural users, expansion of coverage area by
mobile operators, and government support through schemes such as the rural
infrastructure roll out funded by subsidies from the Universal Service Obligation (USO)
Fund. The Indian telecom sector offers unprecedented opportunities in various areas,
such as rural telephony, 4G, virtual private network, value-added services, et al.
Nonetheless, the lack of telecom infrastructure in rural areas and falling ARPU of
telecom service providers could inhibit the future growth of the industry.
Lack of telecom infrastructure in semi-rural and rural areas could be one of the major
hindrances in tapping the huge rural potential market, going forward. The service
providers have to incur a huge initial fixed cost to enter rural service areas. Further, as
many rural areas in India lack basic infrastructure such as road and power, developing
telecom infrastructure in these areas involve greater logistical risks and also extend the
time taken to roll out telecom services. The lack of trained personnel in the rural area to
operate and maintain the cellular infrastructure, especially passive infrastructure such as
towers, is also seen as a hurdle for extending telecom services to the under penetrated
rural areas.
RURAL AREAS CONTINUE TO REMAIN UNDER PENETRATED
A rural tele density of merely 15% point towards the fact that a majority of Indian
population still do not have access to telecom services. The rural India seems to have
remained untouched by the telecom revolution witnessed in the last few years. A huge
'digital divide', which is reflected by the enormous difference of 74% between the urban
and rural tele density, reiterates this fact.
However, with the urban markets reaching a saturation point, the telecom service
providers are penetrating rural areas for driving future growth. Thus, the service
providers entering new rural markets mightwitness substantial increase in subscriber
base. The expansion in the rural areas, however, has increased the risk of further
decline in the ARPUs. Nonetheless the revenue growth from these regions is unlikely to
match the surge in the subscriber base.
EXCESSIVE COMPETITION
Another major concern that has come to the forefront in the recent past has been
heightened competitive intensity in the industry that has correspondingly fuelled the
price war between industry players. The Indian wireless market is one of the
world’s most competitive markets, with 12 operators across 23 wireless ‘circles’ and
6 to 8 competing operators in each circle. The auction of new 4G licences and the
introduction of mobile number portability (MNP) are likely to heat up competition
in the industry, going forward.
Spectrum is the most important resource that is required for providing mobile services.
Given that spectrum is a finite resource, the availability of the same would be inversely
proportional to the number of operators. Thus, larger the number of service providers
smaller will be the amount of spectrum available to each of them.
Scarcity of spectrum leads to higher capex on deployment of mobile networks for the
operators as they need more cell sites to improve service quality. Further the growing
usage of spectrum and the resultant scarcity may lead to re-use of spectrum and
increase chances of congestion in networks leading to constraints on service quality.
Evidently, the competition in the industry is expected to intensify further with the entry
of new players, both domestic as well as foreign players. With the competitive intensity
of the industry already at such high levels new operators might find it difficult to gather
significant share in Indian telecom market. While the new players may benefit from a
faster network rollout through tower sharing, they will face challenges in terms of high
subscriber acquisition costs and lower ARPU customers.
SPECTRUM ALLOCATION
4G Spectrum availability is one of the major concerns for the industry. Lack of
adequate spectrum which is the most integral part of the mobile telephony sector could
hamper its growth severely. However, the spectrum allotment has been the most
controversial issues in the Indian telecom sector.
The smooth process of scheduled 4G spectrum allocation is likely to be one of
the key factors affecting the industry dynamics, going forward. Given the highly-
competitive nature of the Indian telecom industry on one hand, and limited licenses
in the 4G network on the other, the risk of excessive biding by the service providers
has increased. Irrational bidding, especially in some circles, might render 4G services
financially-unviable. Further, there exists a risk of delay in allotment of proposed
spectrum to the service providers who have successfully bid for the 4G spectrum
service, it is also likely to increase the churn out ratio significantly. The service providers
are likely to turn to the VAS as a service differentiator; however, widespread VAS
deployment is restricted due to language and illiteracy.
The deployment of 4G services is likely to help the emergence of new VAS. Mass
acceptance will be crucial for the success of 4G services in India. Comparatively
higher cost of handsets required for accessing 4G services is likely to be one of the
major roadblocks in mass 4G adoption in India.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This study covers customers about Reliance JIO in the areas of Hyderabad.
The study makes effort to ascertain the satisfaction level of customer of Reliance
JIO.Through survey So that company would be able to come up to the expectation
level of its customer.
The company can come up to the expectation only by finding out the problem that
customer are facing during their purchase of Reliance JIO products.
The subject has been taken for the research as it plays key role in the success of
Telecom sector. No company can think of selling their product without having
satisfied customer. No company can survive in long run without coming up to the
satisfaction level of customer.
In short it is the level of satisfaction that is link between end-user and company. As
long as the company is able to satisfy its customer, customer would remain in the
bracket of loyal customer. Hence it is very essential to understand the customer
satisfaction and to measure the satisfaction level time to time as there is always scope
of improvement.
The research will also be beneficial in analyzing the overall market position of the
company and measures which should be adopted by the Reliance JIO to increase their
market share in the region of Hyderabad.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN:
The purpose of the methodology is to design the research procedure. This includes the
overall design, the sampling procedure, the data collection method and analysis
procedure.
Marketing research is the systematic gathering recoding and analyzing of data about
problem retaining to the marketing of goods and services.
The essential purpose of marketing research is to provide information, which will
facilitate the identification of an opportunity of problem situation and to assist manager
in arriving at the best possible decisions when such situations areencountered.
Basically there are two types of researches, which according to their applicability,
strength, weaknesses, and requirements used before selecting proper type of research,
their suitability must be seen with respect to a specific problem two general types of
researches are exploratory and conclusive.
1. CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH:
It is also known as quantitative research; it is designed to help executives of action that
is to make decision.
When a marketing executive makes a decision are course of action is being selected from
among a number of available. The alternatives may be as few as two or virtually infinite. They
may be well defined or only vaguely glimpsed.
Conclusive research provides information, which helps the executives make a rational
decision. In some instances, particularly if any experiment is run, the research may
come close to specifying the precise alternatives to choose, in their cases especially with
descriptive studies the research wil only particularly clarify the situation and much wil
be left to the executive’s judgment.
The type of research here is “Descriptive Research Design”. This kind of design is
used for more precise investigation or of developing the working hypothesis from an
operational point of view. It has inbuilt flexibility, which is needed because the research
problem, broadly defined initially, is transformed into one with more precise meaning in
exploratory studies, which in fact may necessitate changes in research procedure for
gathering relevant data.
SAMPLE SIZE
The sample design provides information on the target information and final
sample sizes. I used conveyed convenient sampling surveyed in research.
SAMPLING AREA:
I have used Questionnaire, as the research instrument to conduct the market survey. The
questionnaire consisted closed ended questions designed in such a way that it should
gather maximum information possible.
METHOD OF SAMPLING
Convenient sampling is used to do sampling as all the customers in the sites are
Surveyed..
DATA ANALYSIS
Data analysis was done mainly from the data collected through the customers.
The data Collected from secondary sources is also used to analyse on one
particular parameter.
Qualitative analysis was done on the data collected from the primary as well as
secondary Sources.

CHAPTER-4
FINDINGS
The following are the findings of the study.
1. While conducting the survey,I found that most of 71.23% respondents are
satisfied with Reliance JIO,and 29.77% of respondents are not satisfied.Because still
they have network problem in deep rural areas.
2. Reliance JIO has wide market captured in Muradnagar.LYF handsets are highly
demanded in the market by its customers.
3. Most of the customers are preferred to buy and utilize the LYF handsets
5. Reliance JIO is the market leader in Hyderabad areas, all the customers are
preferred its products & services.
7. Highly competition among other mobiles Samsung, Redmi, HTC. But LYF
handsets are more preferred by the customers.
9. LYF hand sets are highly selling products in Hyderabad markets. Because
unlimited 4G schemes are considered by customers.
At last it can be said that there are a lot of scope of Reliance jio market in near future.
LIMITATIONS
1. The first problem I faced is in getting the co-operation of the customers. Many of
the respondents I approached did not agree to the need and utility of the project and
hence did not agree to provide me with information.
2. The behavior of the customer is unpredictable which may result in the lacking of accuracy in
the data.
3. As the sample size of the survey was so small and comprise of only 300 customers, the
results may have some prone to errors.
Reliance JIO has become a very successful brand in India & providing customer
satisfaction is to be there main motive.It provides unlimited free calling and data
services & SMS on the move as people are more dependent on it in their daily lives
like wide network coverage and good 4G services.Because 3G services was unable to
meet out customer needs and wants.That’s why 4G has been evolved for Indian
customers.
Reliance JIO possesses congestion free & wide network coverage, attractive 4G
schemes & customer services as well as lifetime roaming free services.
Providing customer satisfaction is the most crucial step of the company as they are to
be satisfied and provides Internet access on the move such as Wide network coverage
and good 4G services as they are important and technology advanced stuff required by
almost everybody in today’s environment, Reliance JIO is a home brand company and
a very emerging brand in India and will be successful in overseas market in
upcoming years. It possesses congestion free & wide network, attractive 4G schemes
& customer services to cover one of the widest areas.
From the details it can be concluded that 80% of Reliance JIO users preferred to
remain with Reliance JIO and fully stisfied. Also good number of customers who are
willing to switch from their respective subscribers showed interest in Reliance
JIO.Reliance JIO is capturing the wide area of Indian markets increasingly day by
day.Hence, these statistics imply a bright future for the company.It can be said that
in near future, the company will be booming in the telecom industry.
SUGGESTIONS
1. In today’s era the Reliance JIO must focus on rural areas to get the people
attention and gather the rural people interest.Because most of rural people are not
having the knowledge about Reliance JIO.
2. Spread out the awareness about Reliance JIO in deep rural areas.
6. Get the feedback from existing customers about Reliance JIO and take
the reference for making new customers.
9. The customer care people and also employees in Reliance JIO should try
to convey brand Reliance JIO while talking to people.
10. Enhance the market penetration & shares in every market and give the high
competition to others company.
