Opportunities1) Second player to enter 4G technology in India so there is high chance to dominate the market in this particular technology.2) Opportunity to attract CAT-A and CAT-B corporate with more customized plans for both voice and data3) Value added services like “internet.org” to provide free access to some websites4)To Penetrate CDMA technology in the country as the buying behaviour and perspective of customers is changing in a faster phase.
Weakness1)Late billing process.2) Average customer service.3) No separate strategy for rural market.4) Distribution channel is not accurate.5) Should spend more on advertisements and promotions.6) Customer service staff needs training.7) Negative perception about CDMA among customers

Observations from the project:
Reliance CDMA has a wider network reach and the voice quality provided by Reliance is far better than any of the GSM operators in the country.
Reliance newly launched Rental Plans such as Zero Plan and Advanced Rental plans are more cost saving than others.
Reliance is lacking in their Advertisements and Promotions .
Real Estate Companies prefer more on service provided by their operators than their Rental Plans.
Findings from the project:
Speed and Plans of data play a vital role in the minds of corporates while choosing the products.
During Survey I found that Real Estate Companies mostly used cheaper rental plans because they don’t have tree hierarchy in their company.
Reliance should work on their after Sales and Customer service to retain their customers in the market.
Cheaper and Cost Saving Plans matters a lot for the CAT B and CAT C Corporates.
Key Learnings From the organization: Absorbed Knowledge about Telecommunications Industry and
Reliance Communications LTD, both Technically and Theoretically. I learned to Design a questionnaire for a market research. Meeting Different People among various segments, interviewing
them helped me to know about their buying behaviour in Telecommunications.
During my survey I came to know about the competitions among Major Players of Telecom Industry and their Marketing Strategies that they use to attract Corporates.
Fined-Tuned my communication skills as I interacted with a varied set of Decision Makers in the company for telecommunications mainly they were IT Managers and HR admins.
Got the much needed confidence in interviewing people and seeking information from them.
Contribution towards organization: Promoted newly launched Pro3 Wi-Fi and WI pod among Corporates
in Pune Region.
Collected Vital Information’s about Competitors Plans, therefore Reliance Communication can hunt on their accounts by setting new strategies.
Created Lead in Corporates for Reliance Communication by pitching their wireless Products.
Tried to convince Corporates about CDMA Technology and change their Misconception and Perception about CDMA, by showing them advantage of CDMA.
