PROJECT REPORT ON CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

1) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The world is waiting at our doorsteps, waiting for us to open the gates to an economy bubbling

with opportunities. The India growth story has already got the world to sit up and take a note of

the changing economic scenario. The Indian government is doing everything that is possible to

ensure that this story remains intact. Factor, like the liberalization in the government stance and

the daring Entrepreneurs of the Indian soils, have helped the sector achieve the like never before.

And currently, the flavor of the month seems to be the telecom industry.

The telecom industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. India has nearly 200

million telephone lines making it the third largest network in the world after China and USA,

with a growth rate of 45%. Indian telecom industry has the highest growth rate in the world.

So in telecom industry there are huge competition seems. For growth and situation maintain

industry have a great relation with customers. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is to

create a competitive advantage so as to have better result.

The best at understanding, communicating, delivering, and developing existing customer

relationships, in addition to creating and keeping new customers. As you make a strong link with

the customers they become loyal.

In Reliance Communication Revenue Assurance Dept is as CRM. They bond with customer at

each step of process. They provide all the facilities at right time. Most of the business of

Reliance comes from existing customers. Customer Relationship Manager build a bridge

between organization and customers. Here in Reliance communication customers are often faced

by CRM at each level of process. They identify their expectations; provide better services as

much as possible. During my summer training I got opportunity meet corporate customers. My

main work was to collect TDS certificate. There is whole process in RA department by which

CRM and Customers can attaché.

PROJECT REPORT ON CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

2.1) HISTORY OF TELECOM SECTOR IN INDIA

The telecom industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. India has nearly 200

million telephone lines making it the third largest network in the world after China and USA.

With a growth rate of 45%, Indian telecom industry has the highest growth rate in the world.

History of Indian Telecommunications started in 1851 when the first operational land lines were

laid by the government near Calcutta (seat of British power). Telephone services were introduced

in India in 1881. In 1883 telephone services were merged with the postal system. Indian Radio

Telegraph Company (IRT) was formed in 1923. After independence in 1947, all the foreign

telecommunication companies were nationalized to form the Posts, Telephone and Telegraph

(PTT), a monopoly run by the government's Ministry of Communications. Telecom sector was

considered as a strategic service and the government considered it best to bring under state's

control.

The first wind of reforms in telecommunications sector began to flow in 1980s when the private

sector was allowed in telecommunications equipment manufacturing. In 1985, Department of

Telecommunications (DOT) was established. It was an exclusive provider of domestic and long-

distance service that would be its own regulator (separate from the postal system). In 1986, two

wholly government-owned companies were created: the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL)

for international telecommunications and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) for

service in metropolitan areas.

PROJECT REPORT ON CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

In 1990s, telecommunications sector benefited from the general opening up of the economy.

Also, examples of telecom revolution in many other countries, which resulted in better quality of

service and lower tariffs, led Indian policy makers to initiate a change process finally resulting in

opening up of telecom services sector for the private sector. National Telecom Policy (NTP)

1994 was the first attempt to give a comprehensive roadmap for the Indian telecommunications

sector. In 1997, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was created. TRAI was formed

to act as a regulator to facilitate the growth of the telecom sector. New National Telecom Policy

was adopted in 1999 and cellular services were also launched in the same year.

Telecommunication sector in India can be divided into two segments: Fixed Service Provider

(FSPs), and Cellular Services. Fixed line services consist of basic services, national or domestic

long distance and international long distance services. The state operators (BSNL and MTNL),

account for almost 90 per cent of revenues from basic services. Private sector services are

presently available in selective urban areas, and collectively account for less than 5 per cent of

subscriptions. However, private services focus on the business/corporate sector, and offer

reliable, high- end services, such as leased lines, ISDN, closed user group and

videoconferencing.

Cellular services can be further divided into two categories: Global System for Mobile

Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). The GSM sector is

dominated by Airtel, Vodafone-Hutch, and Idea Cellular, while the CDMA sector is dominated

by Reliance and Tata Indicom. Opening up of international and domestic long distance telephony

services are the major growth drivers for cellular industry. Cellular operators get substantial

revenue from these services, and compensate them for reduction in tariffs on airtime, which

along with rental was the main source of revenue. The reduction in tariffs for airtime, national

long distance, international long distance, and handset prices has driven demand.

PROJECT REPORT ON CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

The second son of a school teacher, Dhirubhai was born in 1932 in the village of Chorwad in

Gujarat in circumstances that can best be described as modest. Driven by hardship and want, he

had to drop out of school early. In 1949, at the age of 17, he went to Aden (now Yemen) in

search of opportunity, and worked as a dispatch clerk for A. Besse & Co. A couple of years later,

the company became a distributor for Shell products and Dhirubhai was promoted to manage the

company’s oil-filling station at the port

of Aden. It was here that he dreamed of setting up and owning a refinery, which he later realized

with his petrochemicals venture. He returned to India in 1958 to launch his first business venture,

a spice trading company named Reliance Commercial Corporation.

In 1962, Dhirubhai identified an emerging opportunity in yarn trading and shifted to the new

business. Three years later, he changed the name of his company to Reliance Textile Industries

Limited. In 1966, he purchased land in Naroda, Gujarat, to set up a textile mill. In 1975, a

technical team from the World Bank recognised the Naroda mill as one of the best composite

textile mills in India and certified it as ‘excellent even by developed country standards’. In 1977,

the company went public. At the time of the Reliance Textiles IPO, participation in the Indian

capital markets was largely limited to a small but influential elite which dabbled in a handful of

stocks. The great majority of India’s middle class chose to stay away. Dhirubhai’s decision to

prefer the capital markets over banks as the primary source of funding for his ambitious

expansion plans, was as daring as it was unprecedented. In the event, The Reliance IPO was an

unlikely success. Against all odds, Dhirubhai managed to convince a sufficiently large number of

sceptical middle class investors to put their money, and faith, in what was then a small, relatively

unknown company. The subsequent growth and success of Reliance and its philosophy of

generously rewarding shareholders rapidly gave Dhirubhai an iconic status in the Indian financial

markets. Under Dhirubhai’s charismatic leadership, the Annual General Meetings (AGM) of

Reliance took on the character of large public spectacles. Typically held in large public arenas,

and attended by thousands of adoring shareholders, the Reliance AGM became a day to

remember in the annual corporate calendar of India. In 1986, the Reliance AGM held in Cross

Maidan, Mumbai, was attended by as many as 30,000 stockholders—a record in India’s

corporate history. By the mid-80s, Dhirubhai had become something of a living legend, widely

hailed by peers and critics alike as one of the greatest corporate visionaries in the history of post-

Independent India.

PROJECT REPORT ON CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

But Dhirubhai was never one to rest on his laurels. In the early 80s, he had taken the first

important step in strategic backward integration for Reliance with the commissioning of the

Patalganga plant which initially manufactured polyester filament yarn and polyester staple fibre.

In 1991, he set up Reliance Hazira, for the manufacture of petrochemicals—the next link in the

backward integration chain. At the time, Reliance Hazira represented the single largest

investment made by a private sector group in India at a single location.

Meanwhile, Dhirubhai had firmed up plans of setting up a massive grassroots refinery—the next

big leap in his overall strategic roadmap for Reliance. Conceived as the world’s largest

grassroots refinery at the time, Jamnagar in Gujarat was to have an annual capacity of 27 million

tonnes. In the face of formidable challenges, including a massive cyclone that flattened the

project site mid-way through construction, Reliance commissioned the Jamnagar facility in 1999.

It was a fully integrated refinery, complete with a dedicated port and a captive supply of power.

The refinery was not only commissioned ahead of schedule, but also set up at a cost that was

significantly lower than the prevailing global benchmark for a project of such magnitude. It was

one of Dhirubhai’s great dreams in life to see ordinary Indians enjoy the enormous economic

benefits of being able to access affordable yet world class telecommunications infrastructure. He

wanted Reliance to spearhead a communications revolution that would dramatically cut down the

cost of connectivity, and propel India into the digital age. His ultimate ambition: To make the

cost of a phone call cheaper than that of a post card. It was therefore entirely logical for Reliance

to enter the telecommunications space when the sector was opened up for private participation in

the 1990s. The rest, as they say, is history. Today, Reliance Communications is India’s largest

information and communications services provider with over 20 million subscribers, and offers

the full range of integrated telecom services—at prices that are, by far, the lowest anywhere in

the world. Dhirubhai left for his heavenly abode on July 6, 2002.

2.3) CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

Business is all about managing the relationships it has with its customers. The better the

relationship with the customers the more successful the business will be. In CRM we use

available technology and a customer focused strategy hand in hand to manage the day to day

contacts with customers to achieve this. Customer Relationship Management is one of the

newest innovations in customer service today. CRM stands for customer relationship

management and helps the management and customer service staffs cope with customer concerns

and issues. CRM involves gathering a lot of data about the customer. The data is then used to

facilitate customer service transactions by making the information needed to resolve the issue or

concern readily available to those dealing with the customers. This results in more satisfied

customers, a more profitable business and more resources available to the support staff.

Furthermore, CRM Customer Relationship Management systems are a great help to the

management in deciding on the future course of the company.

Definition

“Customer Relationship Management is the process of managing detailed information

about individual customers and carefully managing all customer TOUCH POINTS to

maximize customer loyalty.”

As mentioned, there is much data needed for the CRM system to work. For example In Reliance

3.2) AN OVERVIEW OF CURRENT MARKET SCENARIO

Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Communications Ventures) is one of India's

largest providers of integrated communications services. The company has More than 20 million

customers and serves individual consumers, enterprises, and Carriers, providing wireless, wire

line, long distance, voice, data, and internet Communications services through a number of

operating subsidiaries. The company Sells communications and digital entertainment products

and services through its Chain of Reliance Web World retail outlets. The company's Reliance

Infocomm Subsidiary provides wireless communications services throughout India. Reliance

Communications is part of the Reliance - Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The current network

expansion undertaken by Reliance is the largest wireless network expansion undertaken by any

operator across the world. It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications

(formerly Reliance Infocomm) started laying 60,000 route kilometers of a pan-India fiber optic

backbone. This backbone was commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of

Dhirubhai’s 70th birthday, though sadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002. Reliance

Communications has a reliable, high-capacity, integrated (both wireless and Wire line) and

convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. It is capable of delivering a range of services

spanning the entire infocomm (information and Communication) value chain, including

infrastructure and services — for enterprises as well as individuals, applications, and consulting.

Today, Reliance Communications is revolutionizing the way India communicates and Networks,

truly bringing about a new way of life. We will leverage our strengths to execute complex

global-scale projects to facilitate.

Leading-edge information and communication services affordable to all individual

Consumers and businesses in India. We will offer unparalleled value to create customer delight

and enhance business productivity. We will also generate value for our capabilities beyond

Indian borders and enable Millions of India's knowledge workers to deliver their services

globally.

L.J.INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES, AHMEDABAD

Page 21: ketan chomal Rcom CRM (SIP)

PROJECT REPORT ON CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

Reliance Communications' wireless subscriber base grew to over 28 mn last fiscal, registering a

60% growth. This makes it one of the top two wireless operators in India. "Economic growth in

the future will be indexed to connectivity of millions of enterprise and individual customers.

Over the next few years, we will have over 100 million customers, making us one of the top 5

telecom players in the world. In four years, we put up a total of 14,000 towers across the country.

This year alone we will add 23,000 more towers. Our wireless network is currently available in

10,000 towns. By the end of this year, it will be available in over 23,000 towns and 600,000

villages," Anil Ambani said at the first annual general meeting of Reliance Communications

since the re-organization of the Reliance Group in June 2005. "In four years of operations, we

invested around Rs 32,000 crore. This year alone we will invest over Rs 20,000 crore. At the end

of this year, we will have covered over 90% of our population. If Version 1.0 of the Indian

telecom story was all about affordability, Version 2.0 will be about reach. Our Network

expansion will give us the power to drive the market and stay ahead of the curve," Ambani adds.

According to Ambani, the financial restructuring of Reliance Communications is the biggest

turnaround story in the history of corporate India. The inherited ownership structure of Reliance

Communications was complex. The reorganization has yielded a simple, fair, and transparent

ownership structure, and given Reliance Communications 100% ownership of all operational and

associate companies.

Reliance Communications is now among the three most valuable private sector companies in

India, and the five most valuable telecom companies in Asia. In the current 12 Fiscal, Reliance

Communications will spend Rs 16,000 crore to further expand and strengthen its network

coverage across India and the rest of the world.

In addition to organic growth, Reliance Communications will leverage the advantages derived

from this impressive financial platform to explore and pursue any significant opportunities

L.J.INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES, AHMEDABAD

Page 22: ketan chomal Rcom CRM (SIP)

PROJECT REPORT ON CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

available in the telecommunications sector. "We are currently evaluating a number of inorganic

opportunities in select international markets to further expand our footprint," Ambani said.

Reliance Communication’s One India, One Tariff plan allowed millions to connect across India

at just one rupee a minute. The company was the first one to break the Rs 1,000 entry-barrier

with the launch of the lowest-cost classic brand handset at Rs 777. As per its expansion plan,

Reliance Communications will have the single largest wireless network in the world, covering

over 900 mn Indians or more than 15% of the global population. It will cover 23,000 towns or

every single Indian habitation with a population of over 1,000. Reliance Communications will

cover almost 100% of all rail routes, providing seamless voice, video, radio, and Internet

connectivity to 14 mn commuters every day. It will also cover almost 100% of all national

highways, and 84% of all state highways, giving millions of users the power to talk, text, surf,

play, chat or simply stay in touch across nearly the entire length of India's 2,00,000-km-long

road network. Having achieved tremendous growth, the main challenge for Reliance

Communications is to improve quality of service and ARPU. Its enterprise business is also not in

a position to Compete with the global majors. Stock market valuations may boost the fortunes of

an entrepreneur, but Ambani needs to address the issues faced by the growing mobile customer

base, especially in India, where bureaucracy takes pride in checking the businessman.

STEP 3:-COLLECT THE INFORMATION

Generally the data collect phase of marketing research is generally the most expensive and the

most prone to error. I collected the information from reliance record as secondary data.

T.D.S.

T.D.S. is the certificate which we collected from the customer for our tax benefit and get the

credit. Full form of T.D.S. is tax deduction sources which shown the amount of tax pay to

government. Customers pay the bill after deduct tax.

For example:-

Customers want leased line and as per quarterly use we generate bill of 200000. Here customers

never pay full amount they will pay 200000-20600 (10.3% tax) = 179400. So in our account we

debited 200000 and on credit side 179400. For fill the gap we collect T.D.S. certificate and we

also benefited in tax.

INTERPRETATION:

Comparison is been made for the total revenue and waiver paid off during six months period Jan

to June. The bill is been generated quarterly so January and April has the highest collection of

the revenue.

in the month of January revenue collection was 392.04 lacs and in that month there was 11.38

lacs waiver in comparison to the may which have lowest revenue and the waiver amount was

much higher also.

The reasons for the more waiver is due to the some issues to the customers, may be charges , rate

revision, downtime , one office due etc.

8) CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION

Today CRM (customer relationship management) is equally important. If you have good

relation with customer, he never leaves you.

Any industry one can’t say that he is the best service provider. There is always some scope

of improvement and you should follow this process continuously.

The Market of Telecom sector is the one of the fastest changing field, So the company

have to identify the need of the customer each time in various aspects including after sales

services and respond accordingly.

The future prospect for Reliance Communication is good as the way it is growing in the

markets. At the same time the close competition is the major constraint.

There is a very active role player in CRM in reliance communication but they should be

focus on other cluster also apart from ahmedabad. There is such a strong link to joint all

departments. Customers get quickly solution because of Reliance Communication

integrated department.
