    History

    TATA DOCOMO is part of the Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The

    company received licenses to operate GSM services in nineteen telecom

    circles and was allotted spectrum in eighteen of these circles and launched

    GSM services on 24 June 2009. It began operations first in South India and

    currently operates GSM services in eighteen of twenty two telecom circles. It

    has licences to operate in Delhi but has not been allocated spectrum from the

    Government.[1] Docomo provides services throughout India. Tata DOCOMO

    offers both prepaid and postpaid cellular phone services. It has become very

    popular with its one second pulse especially in semi-urban and rural areas.

    [citation needed]

    On 5 November 2010, Tata DOCOMO became the first private sector

    telecom company to launch 3G services in India. Tata DOCOMO had about

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    5/33

    42.34 million users at the end of December 2010.[2]

    Rebranding

    On 20 October 2011, Tata DoCoMo brought its brands - CDMA, GSM,

    Walky (Fixed Wireless Phone), Photon, INTERNET - under the Tata Docomo

    name. All subscribers to these services were migrated to the Docomo brand

    on 20 October 2011.[3] The companies other brands - Virgin Mobile and T24

    - are not part of the rebranding and will retain their names.

    3G

    On 19 May 2010, the 3G spectrum auction in India ended. Tata Docomo ltd

    paid 6964.29 crores for spectrum in 22 circles. The circles it will provide 3G

    in are Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra &

    Goa, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh (West).[6]

    On 5 November 2010, Tata DOCOMO became the first private sector

    telecom company (third overall) to launch 3G services in India, with a 20 city

    launch. Tata Docomo's HSPA+ 3G network, set up with the assistance of

    NTT Docomo, supports high-speed internet access with speeds of up to 21.1

    Mbit/s. The network also supports high definition voice for superior quality

    voice calls.[7] Docomo also provides 3G Internet Access Devices, e-Sticks

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    7/33

    and Wi-Fi Hubs.

    On July 19, 2011, Docomo and Aircel entered into a roaming agreement for

    3G services to jointly roll out 3G networks in the circles where they both

    have spectrum. In the spectrum auction held last year, Aircel won 3G

    spectrum in 13 of India's 22 circles (service areas), while TATA DOCOMO

    was awarded 3G licenses in nine circles. This deal would give both

    companies 3G coverage in 19 telecom circles of India. They will not have

    coverage on 3 circles - Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Mumbai. The

    companies have three circles in common - Karnataka, Kerala and Punjab.[8]

    On December 14, 2011, Docomo ended its agreement with Aircel. Both

    operators ended the deal after the Department of Telecom said that such 3G

    arrangements were illegal, as the pacts violate licence terms and conditions.

    Docomo had about 1.5 million 3G subscribers as of May 2011.

    Tata DOCOMO bags Telecom Asia Award for the Best Operator in Emerging

    Markets

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    8/33

    As Asia's most prestigious awards program, the independent and

    performance-based Telecom Asia Awards recognize operators for their

    accomplishments amongst industry peers. Winners in the 12 categories were

    chosen from more than 100 fixed, mobile and convergence telecom operators

    from around the region.

    The most important factor that contributed to making Tata Docomo such a

    huge success is its single-minded focus on core values of honesty,

    transparency and consumer relevant innovations. Tata DOCOMOs 'Pay Per

    Use' paradigm led to a tectonic shift in the market and shaped the third

    inflexion point in the Indian Telecom industry. Tata Docomo has continued to

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    9/33

    liberate consumers from the shackles of tariff bondage by offering innovative

    new products such as 'Daily Plans' that do not lock consumers in monthly

    tariff packs.

    Tata Docomo with its innovative and fair business approach has gained

    immense popularity amongst mobile users in India. Tata Docomo grew its

    new subscriber base from launch to over 35 million subscribers in less than

    one year and achieved the number-one operator * ranking in terms of net

    adds for six consecutive months.

    Deservingly therefore, Tata Docomo is being recognized internationally for

    its innovative and fair business paradigm and for changing the landscape of

    Indian telecom industry.

    Media Innovation

    Tata DOCOMO Do the Dietalk Campaign

    In June 2009 when Tata DOCOMO became the 10th entrant in the fiercelycompetitive Indian GSM Telecom space it had its work cut out. To cut

    through the clutter Tata DOCOMO positioned itself as the innovator brand

    with the tag line Do the New. A series of innovative products and services

    followed. First it was Pay per Second, which changed the telecom landscape

    of India. To keep up the Do the New spirit in October 2009 Tata DOCOMO

    launched Diet SMS. While everyone charged Rs. 1 per SMS Tata DOCOMOcharged 1 paisa per character.

    The Mandate

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    15/33

    Use the Diet SMS product to further establish the innovator positioning of

    Tata DOCOMO as a honest transparent company that charges for only what

    you use, in this case only the characters you type

    The Strategic Approach

    The strategy was twofold. First it was necessary to establish the concept of

    Diet SMS and then it was important to get people hooked to the cool concept

    of shorter SMS.

    The Solution Do the Dietalk

    The solution was the Dietalk Campaign. The campaign sought to glamorize

    short SMS as the next cool thing with the tag line Shorter is Smarter or

    rather Shrtr is Smrtr. To establish the concept it was decided to undertake a

    media format innovation never done before in the world.

    The concept of OTP (Over the Page) is an old one, typically created with a

    couple of day old content. We took it to the extreme by doing OTP with real

    time content of the page. Done on Yahoo, Sify and Zapak home pages, this

    involved creating OTP creatives where the content was not embedded in the

    banner but read in real time from an xml file. The xml file was constantly

    updated with the current content of the respective home pages by a team of

    content writers.

    The effect was stunning; the viewer would see the exact content of the Yahoo,

    Sify, Zapak home page turn to Diet Lingo, giving the feeling that the portals

    themselves were updating the banner in real time.

    Results/achievements

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    16/33

    This media innovation required a month of planning with the product teams

    of all portals. Globally no portal had allowed ftp access to their servers to

    allow banners to read content from an xml file in real time. The Dietalk

    campaign generated 2 million visitors to the landing page and further

    established Tata DOCOMO as a leader in product/service innovation

    Tata DOCOMO Website

    Changing the face of Indian Telecom Industry

    With its positioning, revolutionary tariffs and unheard of innovations in both

    product and communication, Tata DOCOMO, the 10th entrant in the Indian

    telecom landscape has emerged as probably the most successful brand launch

    in recent Indian history. The website has played a crucial role in establishing

    this brand promise with consumers.

    The Challenge

    1. Create an unconventional web presence

    2. Establish the brand promise of "Doing the New" through innovative

    tools and features

    3. Build consumer interaction with the brand online

    The Solution - Welcome to Refreshingly Different Land

    1. Unconventional design and clean simple UI

    2. Large number of interaction tools to involve the consumer with the

    "DO" brand and establish its product innovations

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    17/33

    3. Completely social with many features that encourage consumers to

    engage in conversation with the brand

    4. Innovative Consumer Engagement using the "Create" Co-creation

    platform

    All these tools have continuously helped Tata DOCOMO acquire new

    customers and attain the highest net subscriber adds for six consecutive

    months in a row.

    4. Being Social

    From the start the Tata DOCOMO website was built to be participative.

    1. We were one of the few corporate websites to open each web page for

    customer feedback and rating. Tens of thousands of visitors have shared

    their views, opinions and criticism

    2. Integrated Bookmarking to allow sharing of content across their social

    networks

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    18/33

    3. From the first day of launch the website was linked to Twitter,

    Facebook and Orkut accounts encouraging visitors to stay connected

    with the brand through social networks

    5. Technology to aid Consumers

    1. A fully featured My Account section was made available to consumers

    (even the low ARPU prepay customers) get a real time view of their

    Tata DOCOMO Account. Features like last 10 call details for prepay

    customers were an industry first and well appreciated by all.

    2. The enquiry and complaint management system deployed at the

    website was fully integrated with the back end enterprise system to

    facilitate workflow based timely action and resolution.

    3. Technology was taken a step further by integrating the website with the

    billing, provisioning and customer databases to allow seamless signupsfor various schemes through the website itself. So if a consumer is

    looking to signup for BuddyNet (Tata DOCOMO CUG group), send

    SMS invitations to their friends to join BuddyNet or even check if their

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    19/33

    friend is part of BuddyNet they can do all of these from the website

    itself.

    4.The website boasts of web2sms and sms2web gateways which havesince been used for a variety of purposes including customer request

    management, virals and games.

    6. Innovative Consumer Engagement

    The Tata DOCOMO brand is all about co-creation and user participation. The

    website has kept pace by extending itself onto a large number of programs

    through specific sections.

    Create.tatadocomo.com

    The create platform was created to allow users to co-create various aspects of

    the brand communication.

    1. The platform was launched with the create animation contest which

    encouraged users to submit brand animation films with the winners

    entry being televised on national television. The platform provided full

    Youtube-like functionality and was a huge hit in the animator

    community with almost a thousand entries.

    2. The platform was immediately extended to create merchandise where

    users submitted merchandising ideas and then to create music. The

    users submitted variations of the brand signature tune. The create

    platform has been a huge success for Tata DOCOMO in its effort to

    allow users to be co-creators of brand communication.

    The results

    The website was launched towards the end of June 2009 and by December

    the site had more than 1 million unique users per month. The growth has been

    exponential and along the way left behind many of the incumbents. On a pure

    subscriber to traffic ratio (an industry measure to check relative poll of

    telecom websites) Tata DOCOMO is a clear no.1 ahead of even market leader

    Airtel by a long distance. The youth brand that Tata DOCOMO set out to

    build has been successfully created in the digital space through a balanced

    mix of design, innovation, technology and engagement. But as they say the

    journey to being the no. 1 telecom brand in India has just begun.

    (http://dietsms.tatadocomo.com/dietsms.aspx) to act as the destination of the

    campaign.

    1. A massive digital campaign was undertaken with 300 million

    Tata DOCOMO Pay Per Second Integrated Campaign

    In June 2009 when Tata DOCOMO became the 10th entrant in the

    fiercely competitive Indian GSM Telecom space it had its work cut out.

    To cut through the clutter Tata DOCOMO positioned itself as the

    innovator brand with the tag line "Do the New". And then it shook the

    Indian telecom market by changing the billing cycle from pay per

    minute to pay per second. The rest is history

    The Mandate

    26/33

    Position Tata DOCOMO as an honest, transparent company that values

    every paisa of the consumer. Make Tata DOCOMO the most preferred

    telecom service provider in as short a time span as possible

    The Strategic Approach

    The strategy was to get people to realize how much extra they have

    been paying by paying per minute. The objective was to position all

    other operators as "dishonest" for charging consumers even for what

    they did not use. The campaign that stretched for 4 months hammered

    the Indian consumer with a high decibel integrated campaign with "Payfor what you use"

    The Solution "Pay Per Second Campaign"

    The solution was the "Pay Per second" campaign. The campaign

    initially started with the theme of "second is the new minute" and

    moved to "Why Pay for the Unused". It got tactical with "Why does

    your operator not count in seconds". The campaign was everywhere,

    from hoarding across the country, high GRP TV campaign, Radio,

    Internet, Social Media and even at malls and public places.

    Not only did the campaign rely on communication it created interactive

    calculators on the internet as well as in public places where people

    could input their calling pattern and check their life time savings if they

    were on Tata DOCOMOs per second pulse.

    Results/achievements

    Almost as soon as the campaign was launched, Tata DOCOMO became

    the fastest growing mobile operator in India. From July to Dec 2009 the

  • 7/27/2019 Tata Do Co Mo.rtf

    27/33

    trend continued with Tata DOCOMO garnering 22 million subscribers

    in 6 months flat. TRAI stepped in and suggested that pay per second is

    in consumer interest and every operator should offer it.

    The pay per second paradigm was strongly resisted by incumbents but

    in face of mass customer exodus everyone was forced to follow suit. At

    the end the Indian consumer was left with lower mobile bills and Tata

    DOCOMO became a force to reckon with in the Indian Telecom space.

    were selected in the random manner to from sample and data were

    collected from them for the research study.

    Data collection through questionnaire and

    personnel interview resulted in availability of the desired information

    but these were useless until there were analyzed various steps required

    for this purpose were edition, coding and tabulating. Tabulating refers

    to bringing together similar data and compiling them in an accurate
