Conceptualization
Customer: The word derives from "custom," meaning "habit"; a customer was
someone who frequented a particular shop, who made it a habit to purchase
goods of the sort the shop sold their rather than elsewhere, and with whom the
shopkeeper had to maintain a relationship to keep his or her "custom," meaning expected purchases in the future.
Performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance is matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or delighted. Performance>Expectations Highly Satisfied Performance<Expectations Highly Dissatisfied
Customer satisfaction is the state of mind that customers have about a company when their expectations have been met or exceeded over the lifetime of the product or service. The achievement of customer satisfaction leads to company loyalty and product repurchase. Service is any act or performance that one party can offer to another that is essentially intangible and does not result in the ownership of anything.
Dimensions of customer satisfaction: 1.Quality of Service: fitness for use conformance to requirements freedom from variation We will use the American Society for Quality Controls definition: Quality is the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.
2.Speed of service 3.Pricing: 4.Delivery system 5.Complaints or problems 6.Trust in employees 7.The closeness of the relationship with contacts in the firm 8.Types of other services needed 9.Companys positioning in clients' minds 10.Value added services

Major Findings
Most off the respondents are using services of Airtel from 1 to 3 years. Respondents are less satisfied from ISD, STD and Roaming charges. 96.1 % of respondents are satisfied from over all services. Respondents are less satisfied from customer care services. They provide less information. 92.4% of respondents are less loyal to the company and if other company would provide them better services they will switch over. Value added services are costly Airtel services are mostly used by professionals and businessmen.
these roaming charges less so that business man people will be more
attracted and more customer base. Still in villages there is no network so net work should be made better. The company outlet should be increased so that customer can get product at the door easily and redress his grievance. There should be more promotional schemes, network coverage and value added services.
