    INTRODUCTION

    On the partial fulfillment of the B.B.A. degree, I was asked to make Dissertation

    Report on the topic Customer Satisfaction towards BHARTI AIRTEL

    given by the college and get familiar with the various activities in the market.

    Customer Service and Satisfaction:

    When we talk about customer service and/or satisfaction, we talk about

    creativity. Creativity allows us to handle or diffuse problems at hand or later on

    rather in the process of conducting the everyday business. We talk about how,

    or what, does the organization have to do to gain not only the sale but also the

    loyalty of the customer. We want to know the payoff of the transaction both in

    the short and long term. We want to know what our customers Want? We want

    to know if our customers are satisfied. Satisfaction, Of course, means that what

    we delivered to a customer met the customers Approval. We want to know if

    customers are delighted and willing to come back, and so on. Fleiss 2 and

    Feldman 3 present examples of that delightfulness in their writings. Fleiss has

    written about Ben and Jerrys ice cream and Feldman has discussed excellence

    in a cab ride. As important as delightfulness is, some of us minimize it, or even

    totally disregard it. At this point, we fail. Some of the issues that will guarantee

    failure in sales, satisfaction, and loyalty are:

    Employees must adhere to a rigid chain of command

    Employees are closely supervised

    Conflictin whatever formis not allowed

    Rewards are based on carrot-and-stick principles

    Wrong objectives are measure.

    We must understand customer expectation levels concerning quality. We must

    also understand the strategy for customer service quality, and next we must

    understand the measurement and feedback cycles of Customer satisfaction.

    The customer is the person or unit receiving the output of a process on the

    system. In fact, it is worth emphasizing that a customer can be the immediate,

    intermediate, or ultimate customer. Also, a customer may be a person orpersons, or a process or processes. Customer satisfaction, however, is when the

    customer is satisfied with a product/service that meets the customers needs,

    wants, and expectations.

    There are at least three levels of customer expectations about quality:

    Level 1. Expectations are very simple and take the form of assumptions, must

    have, or take it for granted. For example, I expect the airline to be able to take

    off, fly to my destination, and land safely. I expect to get the correct blood for

    my blood transfusion and I expect the bank to deposit my money to my account

    and to keep a correct tally for me.

    Level 2. Expectations are a step higher than that of level 1 and they require

    some form of satisfaction through meeting the requirements and/or

    specifications. For example, I expect to be treated courteously by all airline

    personnel. I went to the hospital expecting to have my hernia repaired, to be in

    some pain after it was done, to be out on the same day, and to receive a correctbill. And I went to the bank expecting the bank teller to be friendly, informative,

    and helpful with my transactions.

    Level 3.Expectations are much higher than for levels 1 and 2. Level 3 requires

    some kind of delightfulness or aservice that is so good that it attracts me to it.

    For example, an airline gives passengers traveling coach class the same superior

    food service that other airlines provide only for first-class passengers. In fact, I

    once took a flight where the flight attendants actually baked cookies for us right

    there on the plane. When I went to the hospital, I expected staff to treat me with

    respect and they carefully explained things to me. But I was surprised when

    they called me at home the next day to find out how I was doing. And at my

    house closing, the bank officer, representing the bank holding my mortgage, not

    only treated me with respect and answered all my questions about my new

    mortgage, but just before we shook hands to close the deal, he gave me a

    housewarming gift.

    Bharti Enterprises accepted every opportunity provided by this new policy to

    evolve into India's largest telecommunications company and one of India's most

    respected brands. Airtel was launched in 1995 in Delhi. In the ensuing years, asthe Airtel network expanded to several parts of India, the brand came to

    symbolise the very essence of mobile services.

    Airtel provides a host of voice and data products and services, including high

    speed GPRS services. Airtel also offers a wide array of 'postpaid' and 'prepaid'

    mobile offers, with a range of tariff plans that target different segments. A

    comprehensive range of value-added, customized services are part of the unique

    package from Airtel. The company's products reflect a desire to constantly

    innovate. Some of these are reflected in the fact that Airtel was the first to

    develop a 'single integrated billing system'

    Airtel comes to you from Bharti Airtel Limited - a part of the biggest private

    integrated telecom conglomerate, Bharti Enterprises. Bharti is the leading

    cellular service provider, with an all India footprint covering all 23 telecomcircles of the country. It has over 21 million satisfied customers. Bharti

    Enterprises has been at the forefront of technology and has revolutionized

    telecommunications with its world class products and services. Established in

    and innovations to its credit. Bharti has many joint ventures with world leaderslike SingTel (Singapore Telecom); Warburg Pincus, USA; Telia, Sweden; Asianinfrastructure find, Mauritius; International Finance Corporation, USA and New

    York Life International, USA. Bharti provides a range of telecom services,

    which include Cellular, Basic, Internet and recently introduced National Long

    Distance. Bharti also manufactures and exports telephone terminals and cordless

    phones. Apart from being the largest manufacturer of telephone instruments in

    India, it is also the first company to export its products to the USA.

    Airtel's journey to leadership began in Delhi in 1995. Since then, Airtel hasestablished itself across India in sixteen states covering a population of over 600

    million people. Airtel will soon cover the entire country through a process ofacquisitions and green field projects. With a presence in over 1,400 towns,

    Airtel today has the largest network capacity in the country.

    In the last nine years Airtel has achieved many firsts and unique records: it wasthe first to launch nationwide roaming operations, it was the first to cross the

    one million and the five million customer marks. It was also the first to launch

    services overseas.

    There are other 'firsts' credited to Airtel - many of them in the area of innovative

    products and services. Today, Airtel innovates in almost everything that it

    presents to the market. An excellent example is Easy Charge - India's first

    paperless electronic recharging facility for prepaid customers. As evidence of itsfine record, Airtel has also been conferred with numerous awards. It won the

    prestigious Techies Award for 'being the best cellular services provider' for four

    consecutive years between 1997 and 2000 a record that is still unmatched.

    And in 2003, it received the Voice & Data Award for being 'India's largest

    cellular service provider', amongst others. As part of its continuing expansion,

    Airtel has invested over Rs. 1,065 billion in creating a new telecom

    infrastructure. In 2003/04, Bharti Tele-Ventures earned a gross profit of Rs. 16

    PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY FOR CONSUMER

    SATISFACTION

    After the liberalization of the Indian Telecom Sector in 1994, the Indian cellular

    market witnessed a surge in cellular services. By 2005, there were a total of 12players in the market with the five major players being Bharti Tele-Ventures

    Limited (Bharti), Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Hutchinson-Essarlimited (Hutch), Idea Cellular limited (Idea) and Reliance India Mobile (RIM).

    All the players except RIM offered services based on the Global System for

    Mobile (GSM) technology. RIM provided services based on Code Division

    Multiple Access (CDMA) technology as well as GSM. As competition in the

    telecom arena intensified, service providers took new initiatives to woo

    customers. Prominent among these were celebrity endorsements, loyaltyrewards, discount coupons, business solutions and talk time schemes. The most

    important consumer segments in the cellular industry were the youth segment

    and the business class segment. The youth segment was the largest and fastestgrowing segment and was therefore targeted most heavily by cellular service

    providers.

    Bharti Tele-Ventures adopted celebrity endorsement as its chief promotional

    strategy. By 2004 it emerged the unprecedented leader commanding the largest

    market share in the cellular service market. Hutch implemented the celebrityendorsement strategy partially, relying primarily on its creative advertising for

    the promotion of its brand. BSNL, on the other hand, attracted the consumer

    through its low cost schemes. Being a state owned player, BSNL could cover

    rural areas, and this helped it increase its subscriber base. Reliance was another

    player that cashed on its innovative promotional strategies, which included

    celebrity endorsements and attractive talk time schemes. Idea relied heavily on

    its creative media advertising sans celebrities.

    Strategies from which the company captures market and attracts consumers:-

    Strategic alliance The Company has a strategic alliance with SingTel.The investment made by SingTel is one of the largest investments made

    in the world outside Singapore in the company. The company also has a

    strategic alliance with Vodafone. The investment made by Vodafone in

    Bharti is one of the largest single foreign investments made in the Indiantelecom sector. The companys mobile network equipment partners

    include Ericsson and Nokia. In the case of the broadband and telephone

    services and enterprise services (carriers), equipment suppliers include

    Siemens, Nortel, and Corning, among others.

  • 8/13/2019 Dissertation Report By Nicks

    20/53

    The Company also has an information technology alliance with IBM for

    its group-wide information technology requirements and with Nortel for

    call center technology requirements.

    Outsourcing The call center operations for the mobile services have beenoutsourced to IBM Daksh, Hinduja TMT, and Teletech & Mphasis.

    Overseas Market. Airtel is looking for overseas market and already

    started operation in Nigeria and Seychelles.

    Competition Airtel is facing strong completion from MTNL and BSNL

    in spite of the fact they are far away from Airtel technologically but these

    two have a inside ranch in rural and urban area and have low tariff rates.

    Brand Ambassador Airtel has strong brand ambassador, Sachin

    Tendulkar, Shahrukh khan and A. R. Rehman, R. Madhavan, Vidhya

    Ballan to promote the product and services.

    Suggestion And Recommendations

    1.

    Provide regular training to the agents & distributors who act as linkbetween AIRTEL & their retailers.

    advance as to when a new scheme is to be launched.

    3. Bringing new innovative & inductive schemes for its retailers & follow

    up.

    4. Organize parties for retailers who perform outstanding continuously or

    are the leaders for a quarter of year in each district to create a competitive

    environment among the retailers of AIRTEL.

    5. AIRTEL should introduce cheaper recharge cards than the other because

    its competitor HUTCH had introduced it.

    impact its users.

    2. People like its schemes very much.

    3. AIRTEL had created a very good image on the mind of the new users of

    cellular service.

    4.

    AIRTEL has adopted a very good strategy by providing a new connectionwith NOKIA who is market leader in mobile set, many new users buy

    Nokia sets and they get a free connection of AIRTEL.

    5. AIRTEL is successful in capturing the highest market share by adopting

    Celebrity Endorsement Strategy. A.R. Rehmaans tune for AIRTEL

    worked as free advertising for AIRTEL as another service user uses it

    too. Other celebrities like Shahrukh Khan (bollywood) and Sachin

    Tendulkar (Cricket) has also contributed very much in AIRTEL.
