SYNOPSIS

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the readers of this report. This report mainly

speaks about the market research and launching of new telecom company in the market. This

report gives a brief idea about the market research and promotional activities of new telecom

company in the saturated Indian market.

Gone are the days when customers had very few options to choose their simcard but in present

era, where in every field there is a cut throat completion, so it is difficult to enter the market like

telecom because many telecom companies are already playing a big role. So it is very necessary

to fine a USP for the new telecom company.

The project I did during my Summer Internship Program was about the entry of new telecom

company in Maharashtra and Goa circle where a lot of big players are already playing a big role.

BharatiAirtel which is number one company in telecom and others like Vodafone, Idea, Aircel,

BSNL and MTNL,Reliance (GSM), Tata DoCoMo, virgin and Videocon are the big players

playing a big role in the Indian GSM telecom market.

Uninor the Telenor Unitech Company come in the market with a new innovative idea Dynamic

Pricing (DP). Branded as „24X7 Badalta Discount Plan‟, DP will offer call discounts that will

change from 5% to 60% with location and with time - with each cell phone tower broadcasting a

different discount. which is more cheaper than the one second billing plan introduce by “Tata

DoCoMo”. The “badalta discount plan” is already introduce in other circles of India like Andra

Pradesh, Utter Pradesh (east) ,Utter Pradesh (west), Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Orissa circle etc.

which is still going in a very successful in the Indian telecom market. Uninor is looking at

launching services in five more circles by September this year. Uninor has license for 22 circles

and is present in 13 circles. It has spectrum in circles like Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,

Punjab, Haryana where it is yet to launch its services.

Parent Companies

Telenor

• Founded in 1855, Telenor is the largest company in Norway, withheadquarters located at

Fornebu, close to Oslo.

• An International wireless carrier with operations in Scandinavia,Eastern Europe and Asia.

• The 6th largest mobile phone operator in the world, with more than172 million subscribers.

Telenor started off in 1855 as a state-operated monopoly, named Telegrafverket as a provider of

telegraph services. The first ideas for a telegraph were launched within the Royal Norwegian

Navy in 1848, but by 1852 the plans were public and the Parliament of Norway decided on a

plan for constructing the telegraph throughout the country. Televerket began by building from

Christiania (now Oslo) to Sweden (Norway was at that time in a union with Sweden) as well as

between Christiania and Drammen. By 1857 the telegraph had reached Bergen (west coast) via

Sørlandet (south coast) and by 1871 it had reached Kirkenes (north coast). Cable connections

were opened to Denmark in 1867 and to Great Britain in 1869. The telegraph was most

important for the merchant marinewho now could use the electric telegraph to instantly

communicate between different locations, and get a whole new advantage within logistics.

SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths,

Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It

involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal

and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective. The technique

is credited to Albert Humphrey, who led a research project at Stanford University in the 1960s

and 1970s using data from Fortune 500 companies.

Strengths:-

Joint venture between world‟s 6th

largest telecom company and India‟s 2nd

largest real

estate company.

Least capital investment as various services are out sourced.

Different price strategy.

Decentralized management structure.

Different market segmentation strategy

Weakness:-

The first signs of Weakness in new Operators is now evident that Uninor[ a JV of Telenor and

Unitech Ltd] has confirmed that it will have a focused rollout in majority of 22 circles, while

meeting license obligations in all circles. Uninor also said that India capex plans have been

scaled down from Rs155 billion earlier to Rs 120-125 billion.

Page 29: Uninor College Project Report

Indian Institute of Education & Business Management Page 29

Uninor has just 12,000 base stations installed, much lower than the base stations required for

nationwide launch. This development is an indication of new operators feeling the heat due to

tariff wars in Indian telecom industry. We wait for more such signs especially foreign players‟

bids for 3G spectrum – we believe that a quick consolidation would be positive for incumbents

Opportunities:-

The telecommunications market, even though highly saturated in some regions

Offers great potential due to the ageing population and the sophistication of the

Consumers. It offers great opportunities through a careful market segmentation and

Exploitation of particular profitable segments. Different strategies should be pursued –

Simple phones and simplified pricing plans to the ageing population and more updated,

sophisticated solutions for younger generations. The expanding Boundaries of the marketcould

provide further opportunities by allowing Uninor to enter more aggressively into service and to

better enjoy the benefits of its high investment.

Threats:-

Competitor like Airtel, Reliance,Vodafone ,BSNL/MTNL etc.

Extensive government regulations through TRAI as regards introduction of new services.

Bloodbath in market due to price war.

Page 30: Uninor College Project Report

Indian Institute of Education & Business Management Page 30

Market opportunity Analysis

• Can the benefits involved in the opportunity be articulated convincingly to a defined

target market?

Ans-The strategy of „micro-segmentation and targeting youth‟ along with making common

youth as brand ambassador of the company shows that Uninor has very well defined its

target market. However it will have to watch its competitors‟ moves as well.

• Can the target market be located and reached with cost-effective media and trade

channels?

Ans-AsUninor has appointed over 1,000 distributors and is present in over 300,000 points of sale

and outsourced infrastructural services, it can reach target market along with being cost-

effective.

• Does the company possess or have access to the critical capabilities and resources needed

to deliver the customer benefits?

Ans-As the company has recently lined up a Rs 5,000 cr bridge finance with the State Bank of

India,which includes bank guarantees and a letter of credit that would help the company fund its

22 circle rollout.

• Can the company deliver the benefits better than any actual or potential competitors?

Ans-Uninor boasts of offering the cheapest call rate and all the regional heads are responsible for

responding to the concerned customers, they may deliver better services to consumers, but

Uninor will certainly have to keep giving better services at cheaper rate in order to gain its

competitors‟ market share as well as gaining potential buyers.

Page 31: Uninor College Project Report

Indian Institute of Education & Business Management Page 31

• Will the financial rate of return meet or exceed the company’s required threshold for

investment?

Ans-For this Uninor has sufficient loans from financial institutions and even its parent

companies Telenor and Unitech are providing ample financial support. Moreover Uninor has set

its target of getting Break-even in 3 years and Positive operating cash flow within 5 years in

India, so the company is right now investing in market building for itself.

Page 32: Uninor College Project Report

Indian Institute of Education & Business Management Page 32

Methodology adopted for the execution of the activity

As we know uninor is a new player in telecom industry in india. Before the company enters in

this field they have to know the current market scenario. To know the correct market scenario,

company has conducted the market survey in which they have to know the targeted customer for

their product.

Uninor has conducted this survey in under name of “Go To Market Survey to find the target

people”. The survey is conducted in three different categories :

Youth Go-To-Market survey.

Blue collers Go-To-Market survey.

Slum area Go-To-Market Survey.

The targeted customers are categorized in this three different categories :

Youth Go-To-Market Survey

In this category company mainly targeted the people from college students, school

students, multiplexses, shopping malls etc. where youth crowed is to be seen. As per analysis the

maximum number of sim card is used by the youth generation. So in this category they have

targeted the youth generation.

Blue Collers Go-To-Market Survey

As we know Blue Collers people means corporate persons, businessmans etc. in this

category company manily target the corporate persons so company started the survey in IT parks

in different area of pune where the company can easily target the blue coller peoples.

Page 33: Uninor College Project Report

Indian Institute of Education & Business Management Page 33

Slum area Go-To-Market survey

Company has also conducted the survey in different slum areas situated in pune. As trend

changes poor people also started to change their lifestyle. Now a day slum area people also

started using mobile phone instead of using landlines due to result in available of low cost

mobile phone available in the market.

CONCLUSION

I had been really fortunate to be a part of uninor which taught me
