Industry Overview-

An Overview of the Telecommunication Industry in India-

Talking of telecommunications sector in India today, we can primarily identify twosegments namely Fixed Service Provider (FSPs) and Cellular Services. Some ofthe essential and basic telecom services forming part of Indian telecom industryinclude telephone, radio, television and Internet. Telecom industry in the countrylays a special emphasis on some of the advanced and the latest technicalinnovations like GSM ( Global System for Mobile Communications), CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access), PMRTS (Public Mobile Radio TrunkingServices), Fixed Line and WLL (Wireless Local Loop ). Especially, India has aflourishing market in GSM mobile service, while the number of subscribers is onrapid and dramatic increase. The Indian telecommunications industry boasts as

being one among the most rapidly growing chunks on the globe. Experts aroundthe world estimate that India holds the promise of emerging as the second largesttelecom market of the world.

Business Monitor International has stated that at present, India is adding up about8-10 million mobile subscribers every succeeding month. Estimates have revealedthat by June2012, almost half Indias population will be in possession of a mobile

phone. This will result in about 612 million mobile subscribers, making up ateledensity of about 51 per cent by the year 2012.

The latest reports published by Evalueserve state that the availability of the 3Gspectrum has given hopes of finding about 275 million Indian subscribers using3G-enabled services. This will take up the number of 3G-enabled handsets to reachnear to 395 million by the end of 2013.

A Frost & Sullivan industry analyst has predicted that by the year 2012, revenuesfrom fixed line subscriptions in India will reach up to US$ 12.2 billion, while therevenue from mobile connections will reach up to US$ 39.8 billion.

BSNL, the state-managed telecom operator has introduced 3G services in morethan 318 cities benefitting 856,000 subscribers. BSNL has been venturing to crossmore than 400 cities in the near future eventually rolling this service across 760cities by September 2010. While the debate on 3G is seen continuing, TRAI hasalready started consulting on the next higher level of telecom services. 4G or thefourth generation enables downloads faster than all the earlier versions.

Today, India is the largest market in the world adding up a dramatic number ofabout 20 million mobile subscriber lines every month in an average. On the otherhand, the number of landlines is found gradually decreasing. At the end of the firstquarter in 2010, we find that the overall telecom subscriber penetration has goneup by more than 52 %. Though this might occur as a relatively low volumecompared with a number of other nations, this comes as a quantum leap noting thefigures recorded a few years back. Mumbai and Delhi (NCR) enjoy the statusamong a few other metro areas around the globe boasting of more than 25 mmobile subscribers in each of these regions. At present, The FDI cap in the telecomsector in India is 74 %. In a recent move, UKs Vodafone Group has purchased a

52 % stake in Hutchison Essar, the fourth largest mobile service provider in thecountry. Bharti Airtel has the credit of being the first Indian operator to cross asubscriber base of 50 million.

BCG MATRIX

The BCG matrix, (Boston Consulting Group analysis) is a chart that had beencreated by Bruce Henderson for the Boston Consulting Group in 1970 to helpcorporations with analyzing their business units or product lines.

This helps the company allocate resources and is used as an analytical tool inbrand marketing, product management, strategic management, and portfolioanalysis.

To use the chart, analysts plot a scatter graph to rank the business units (orproducts) on the basis of their relative market shares and growth rates.


11/28

Cash cowsare units with high market share in a slow-growing industry. Theseunits typically generate cash in excess of the amount of cash needed to maintainthe business. They are regarded as staid and boring, in a "mature" market, andevery corporation would be thrilled to own as many as possible. They are to be

"milked" continuously with as little investment as possible, since such investmentwould be wasted in an industry with low growth.

Dogs, or more charitably called pets, are units with low market share in a mature,slow-growing industry. These units typically "break even", generating barelyenough cash to maintain the business's market share. Though owning a break-evenunit provides the social benefit of providing jobs and possible synergies that assistother business units, from an accounting point of view such a unit is worthless, notgenerating cash for the company. They depress a profitable company's return on

assets ratio, used by many investors to judge how well a company is beingmanaged. Dogs, it is thought, should be sold off.

Question marks(also known as problem child) are growing rapidly and thusconsume large amounts of cash, but because they have low market shares they donot generate much cash. The result is large net cash consumption. A question markhas the potential to gain market share and become a star, and eventually a cash cowwhen the market growth slows. If the question mark does not succeed in becomingthe market leader, then after perhaps years of cash consumption it will degenerate

into a dog when the market growth declines. Question marks must be analyzedcarefully in order to determine whether they are worth the investment required togrow market share.

Starsare units with a high market share in a fast-growing industry. The hope isthat stars become the next cash cows. Sustaining the business unit's marketleadership may require extra cash, but this is worthwhile if that's what it takes forthe unit to remain a leader. When growth slows, stars become cash cows if theyhave been able to maintain their category leadership, or they move from brief

stardom to dogdom.

Porters Five Force Model:

Named after Michael E. Porter, this model identifies and analyzes 5 competitiveforces that shape every industry, and helps determine an industry's weaknesses and

strengths.

1. Competition in the industry

2. Potential of new entrants into industry

3. Power of suppliers

4. Power of customers

5. Threat of substitute products

It is frequently used to identify an industry's structure in order to determinecorporate strategy, Porter's model can be applied to any segment of the economy tosearch for profitability and attractiveness.

Application of Porters Five Force Model in Bharti Airtel-

The telecom industry structure has become relatively unfavorable compared toearlier monopolistic times. The earlier pattern used to be that the national telecom

company used to own every segment of the value chain till the internationalgateway.With liberalization there is competition in virtually every segment. There arecompanies that provide local connectivity, those that function as long distancecarriers, and those that provide only gateway links. Some integrated playersoperate in all segments. The intensity of competitive pressures across the chain isreflected in the downward spiral being witnessed in tariffs and prices to customer.The value chain for cellular mobile service and Internet Service Providers (otherthan cable based net connections) is similar in as much as thecalls reach thedestination through similar local loop, long distance and international gateway.

1.Threat from Competition-

Wireless Market Top 4 garnering 75% market share


15/28

The subscriber growth for Airtel is only 37% as compared to Reliance &Vodafone whose growth is nearly 60%.

After the launch of Reliance GSM in all India basis the subscriber base hasincreased tremendously.

In Mumbai region Airtel could not become No. 1 because of its technicalproblems in coverage.

2.Customer Bargaining Power-

Porter's Five Forces of buyer bargaining power refers to the pressureconsumers can exert on businesses to get them to provide higher quality

products, better customer service, and lower prices. When analyzing thebargaining power of buyers, the industry analysis is being conducted fromthe perspective of the seller. According to Porters 5 forces industry analysisframework, buyer power is one of the forces that shape the competitivestructure of an industry.

a. Lack of differentiation among Service Providers.

b. Cut throat Competition.

c. Low Switching Costs.

d.Number Portability will have NEAGTIVE Impact.

e. Businesses & Consumers


16/28

3.Suppliers Bargaining Power-

Bargaining power is the ability to influence setting of prices. The more

concentrated and controlled the supply, the more power it wields against the

market.


17/28

17

4.Threat of Substitutes-

Threat of substitutes occurs when companies within one industry are forced

to compete with industries producing substitute products or services.

Substitutes limit an industrys potential returns by placing a ceiling on the

prices that firms within that industry can charge to make a profit. As the

price-performance alternative offered by substitutes becomes more

attractive, it becomes even more difficult for those firms to make a profit.

Demand for substitutes can also reduce the demand for industry products

and services. Substitutes can create intense competition during normal

economic times, and reduce potential profit increases during positive

economic times.

Threats to Substitutes to Bharti Airtel:

a. Landlineb. CDMAc. Video Conferencingd. VOIP - Skype, Gtalk, Yahoo Messengere. e-Mail & Social Networking Websites

5.Threat of New Entrants-

A major force shaping competition within an industry is the threat of new

entrants. The threat of new entrants is a function of both barriers to entry and

the reaction from existing competitors.

a) Huge License Fees to be paid upfront & High gestation period.b) Spectrum Availability & Regulatory Issuesc) High Infrastructure Setup Cost.d) Rapidly changing technology.

ANSOFFS MODEL-

The AnsoffProduct-Market Growth Matrix is a marketing tool created by IgorAnsoff and first published in his article "Strategies for Diversification" in theHarvard Business Review (1957). The matrix allows marketers to consider ways togrow the business via existing and/or new products, in existing and/or new marketsthere are four possible product/market combinations. This matrix helpscompanies decide what course of action should be taken given current

performance.

The matrix consists of four strategies:

MarketPenetration(existing markets, existing products):Marketpenetration occurs when a company enters/penetrates a market with currentproducts. The best way to achieve this is by gaining competitors' customers

(part of their market share). Other ways include attracting nonusers of yourproduct or convincing current clients to use more of your product/service,with advertising or other promotions. Market penetration is the least riskyway for a company to grow.

Product Development(existing markets, new products): A firm with amarket for its current products might embark on a strategy of developingother products catering to the same market (although these new products

need not be new to the market; the point is that the product is new to thecompany). For example, McDonald's is always within the fast-food industry,

but frequently markets new burgers. Frequently, when a firm creates newproducts, it can gain new customers for these products. Hence, new productdevelopment can be a crucial business development strategy for firms to staycompetitive.

Market Development(new markets, existing products): An establishedproduct in the market place can be tweaked or targeted to a differentcustomer segment, as a strategy to earn more revenue for the firm. Forexample Lucozadewas first marketed for sick children and then rebrandedto target athletes. This is a good example of developing a new market for anexisting product. Again, the market need not be new in itself; the point isthat the market is new to the company.


21/28

21

Diversification(new markets, new products): Virgin Cola, VirginMegastores, Virgin Airlines, Virgin Telecommunications are examples ofnew products created by the Virgin Group of UK, to leverage the Virgin

brand. This resulted in the company entering new markets where it had no

presence before.

There are three different implementations of CRM catering to different businesssegments, including, most recently, for Airtel Broadband Telephone Services

(ABTS). Contact centers for the landline telephone and broadband servicesprovided by Bharti Airtel across Pan-India use this application.
