Need of the Project


The word competition is redefined in the telecom sector. In the world of cut throat competition, the telecom sector is fighting for survival. Every company is trying to outperform the other. If this was not enough there comes a price-war among the telecom companies. The fire was ignited by Tata Docomo. The price levels were lowered to such a point where it was very much uncomfortable for the other organizations. This was the penetration strategy used by Tata Docomo. Docomo forced to change the policies and strategies of other companies. Docomo has emerged as the price leader in the sector and to study the growth of this company was very much important from my point of view.

Disruptive Innovation in the Indian Telecom Industry by Tata Docomo


Wikipedia defines disruptive innovation as an innovation that improves a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically by being lower priced or designed for a different set of consumers. Indian Telecom space was Disrupted by Tata Docomo when they came out with a 1 paisa per second tariff. We have earlier seen how Reliance India Mobile changed the mobile industry by coming up with the lowest tariff in the beginning of this decade. The call charges were around Rs 2-3 per minute and because of Reliance this was brought down to around Re 1 per minute. Tata Docomo was the next one to employ disruptive innovation in the Indian mobile industry. Currently the game is not played on the price front but Value added services front, which is evident from the advertisements of Airtel (Madhavan and Vidya Balan) and Vodafone (Zoozoos) in the past. If Aircel is redefining how telecom operators approach value added services and GPRS in India, Tata Docomo is doing its bit to change billing practices. The joint venture between Tata Teleservices and Japanese telecom major NTT Docomo officially began rollouts with a plan to invest $2 billion for its pan-India GSM services.

Customer Satisfaction
The 21 century belongs to the service sector. The customer of yester year was a silent person who uncomplainingly purchased the goods from the market place. There is a new customer emerging today. Customer satisfaction can be defined as, customer satisfaction is the feeling derived by the consumer when he compares the actual performance of the products with the performance that he expects of it. The measurement of the customer satisfaction typically begging when a company realizes that their customer s is the people, who provide the revenues that, hopeful, will cover expenses. Most companies start by establishing a customer satisfaction baseline. Then they target year by year improvement. Understanding customer requirement and delivering

superior quality goods and services to achieve composer satisfaction lead to the retention and growth of the customer.

General Idea about the satisfied customer:


Satisfaction is a personas feeling of the pleasure or disappointment. It is resulting from comparing a products perceived performance with his or her expectations from it. Satisfaction is more of an emotional concept. Today organization are aiming at high satisfaction rather than at customer delight because customers who are

R. E. SOCIETYS GOGATE JOGALEKAR COLLEGE RATNAGIRI.

STUDY OF TATA DOCOMO just satisfied still find it easy to switch over when a batter offers comes along. Those who are highly satisfied are much less ready to switch over. High satisfaction or delight creates an emotional bound with the brand and customer starts looking at an offering emotionally and just rationally. The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy target customers needs and wants but knowing customer is never simple. Customer may state their needs and wants but act otherwise. They may not be in touch with their deeper motivations. They may respond to influential to change their mind at the last minute. Some of todays most successful companies are raising expectation and delivering performances to match. These companies are aiming at TCS- Total customer Satisfaction. Increasing competition (whether for-profit or nonprofit) is forcing businesses to pay much more attention to satisfying customers. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of business strategy.

Customer Loyalty:
These four factors will greatly affect your ability to build a loyal customer base: Products that are highly differentiated from those of the competition.
R. E. SOCIETYS GOGATE JOGALEKAR COLLEGE RATNAGIRI.

STUDY OF TATA DOCOMO Higher end products where price is not the primary buying factor. Products with a high service component. Multiple products for the same customer. Loyal Customers and Loyal Workforces Building customer loyalty will be a lot easier if you have a loyal workforce not at all a given these days. It is especially important to retain those employees who interact with customers such as sales people, technical support, and customer-service people. Many companies give a lot of attention to retaining sales people but little to support people. The increasing trend today is to send customer service and technical support calls into queue for the next available person. This builds no personal loyalty and probably less loyalty for the firm. Before going this route, be sure this is what your customers prefer.

Instant Feedback:
Recently, many organizations have implemented feedback loops that allow them to capture feedback at the point of experience. For example, National Express, one of the UK's leading travel companies invites passengers to send text messages whilst riding the bus. This has been shown to be useful as it allows companies to improve their customer service before the customer defects, thus making it far more likely that the customer will return next time.

Listen to your customers:


Is there anything more exasperating than telling someone what you want or what your problem is and then discovering that that person hasnt been paying attention and needs to have it explained again? From a customers point of view, I doubt it. Can the sales pitches and the product babble. Let the customer talk and show them that you are listening by making the appropriate responses, such as suggesting how to solve the problem.

MARKETING STRATEGY
Tata Docomo appears to be banking heavily on its tariff plans the company is offering a 1 second pulse instead of the usual 1 minute pulse that other telecom operators are offering. This means that consumers are charged on a per second basis, instead of a per minute basis, and end up saving money on unused seconds. A nifty little application How much can you really save on Docomos website explains how this works. Rs. 0.01/second is a marked change from the Re 1/min and Rs. 0.49/min charges that usually applies.

TATA DOCOMO PRICING STRATEGY


Tata Docomo appears to be banking heavily on its tariff plans the company offers a 1 second pulse instead of the usual 1 minute pulse that other telecom operators were offering. This means that consumers are charged on a per second basis, instead of a per minute basis, and end up saving money on unused seconds. A fifty little application How much can you really save on Docomos website explains how this works. Rs. 0.01/second is a marked change from the Re 1/min and Rs. 0.49/min charges that usually apply. Now while this plan might sound unique, it isnt that it hasnt been tried before back in 2004, Tata Indicom had launched 1 second pulse plans, which going by their current plans, appears to have been shelved. At present, Tata Docomo has launched voice portals, 24-hour music, cricket commentary and voice chat, apart from offering free Missed Call Alerts and Voice Mail.

R. E. SOCIETYS GOGATE JOGALEKAR COLLEGE RATNAGIRI.

STUDY OF TATA DOCOMO Interestingly, voice based services are also being priced with a per-second-pulse: 24 hour music and voice chat are priced at Rs. 0.02/second. Caller Tune search service Genie is also being priced at Rs. 0.02/second. This is a marked change, again, from the per minute pricing, and can offer consumers cheaper options.

An initiative that has taken the service provider industry by storm


The pay per second model has really paid off well for the latest entrant in the Indian GSM space, Tata-Docomo. The new pricing strategy from Tata-Docomo has changed the rules of the GSM game, which is dominated by AirTel and Vodafone. Tata-Docomo also launched its first mobile handset in September 2010.

Mobile pricing innovation Tata Docomo now charges per website for Mobile Browsing!
This is surely a first world over Tata Docomo have gone ahead and launched an innovative mobile Internet offering which allows users unlimited usage of their favorite websites on mobile for a fixed cost. Tata Docomo has been forefront in coming up with various attractive pricing schemes, especially, in the pay-per-use paradigm. They were first to introduce pay per second billing on calls, which now is followed by every mobile service provider. They followed it with pay-

STUDY OF TATA DOCOMO per-minute and pay-per-call pricing plans as well which has made them one of the fastest growing Mobile companies in India. The new pay-per-website offering however, takes it to a complete different level and unheard of pricing strategy. This is a very thoughtful strategy and something which has potential to growth rapidly. Tata Docomo pricing strategy.

Pay per site offer two combination:


Those only interested in single websites need to pay Rs 10 per site Those with multiple site browsing needs can opt for a combo pack at just Rs 25 per month. Customers have a bundle of options within various categories of social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In, Orkut), mail options (Gmail, Yahoo, Rediff) and chat messengers (GTalk, Yahoo! Messenger, Nimbuzz). Having said this, there is also a caveat If you thought it was valid for unlimited useit is not. Tata Docomo pay per site plan categorizes each service under 2 different genres Social Networking Site and Emailing & Instant Messaging. Each site under this genre is priced at Rs. 10/bundled with 200 MB free data usage valid for 30 days, post which customers will be charged at 1p/kb. There are also 2 Combo options SNS Combo Pack and Emailing Combo Pack and each Combo Pack is priced at Rs. 25/- bundled with 500 MB free data usage post which the customers will be charged 1p/kb.

R. E. SOCIETYS GOGATE JOGALEKAR COLLEGE RATNAGIRI.

STUDY OF TATA DOCOMO We have been quite impressed the way Tata Docomo have gone about their innovative pricing models as well as marketing strategies. Per Character SMS Pricing On 8th September 2009, the GSM branch of the Indian carrier Tata introduced a novel pricing strategy for text messaging. Under the brand Diet-SMS, Tata-DOCOMO bills its customers by-thecharacter, rather than on a per message basis. It is a very attractive marketing scheme, since many wireless subscribers, almost by habit, tend to pepper their text messages with abbreviations and acronyms. Under the new plan, Tata-Docomo charges one paisa per character. For example, a text which reads tnx (for thank-you) is charged at 3paise instead of the normal sms charge.

The Impact
Tata Docomo has gathered significant market share, owing to its pricing strategies. Existing mobile operators are matching the price and the clear winners are the subscribers since all the competition is sending the prices downhill. Tata Docomo pricing strategy.

India Tata Docomo, the youngest among telecom players in India to offer GSM, is Presently banking on its services to garner visibility and a share in the telecom pie. The launch of Tata Docomo also announced the intention of the brand to associate with the thought 'do'. Tata Docomo, for the first time in the country, offered pay-persecond billing; though other telecom providers have followed suit since. The company has carried out a few adverts that highlight the brand's unique features and some other topical advertising during Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali. The latest from the GSM provider is the 'Friendship Express' TVC. The ad opens inside train, where everyone is doing their own thing. A couple of the travelers don't like the solemn mood and start humming the Docomo tune. Slowly and steadily, others pitch in and soon most of the train is singing along. The ad ends with the super, 'Why walk alone when we can dance together'.

Competitor Analysis
The competition has intensified the past few months with new players and schemes coming in. There has never been a better time for the customer to get a mobile phone connection There are at least six if not more operators to choose from in ever circle. In June 09, TATA DOCOMO broke the old system of tariff by introducing per second billing system. As soon as they did this, the other followed suit with price cuts everywhere. Suddenly the idea of calls being free was not so outrageous. The prices were reduced to such an extent that the viability of the business was in questions. The competitive environment of TATA DOCOMO can be looked at from the following perspectives

Airtel vs Tata Docomo


The equal competitors are coming up with their new tariffs, plans, special packs and their varying services to prove themselves to be much competitive and trying to anchor them firmly in this mobile sector. Currently the Tata Docomo came up with its services with an all new tariff scheme of pay per second which has brought out a massive revolution in the market. On 30th Oct the leading mobile service provider Bharti Airtel launched their much awaited Pay per Second tariff all throughout India. The tariff comparison with Airtel and TATA Docomo is as follows, Airtel with its inception on 2001 renders number of customers but their tariff, call rates to different network makes confusion and remains unstable. But Docomos 1p/sec throughout India makes consumers to keep track of their account and controls expenses. Airtel has kept different SMS charges even in their Pay Per Second plan with local sms being charged at Re.1 and National sms at Rs.1.50, whereas Docomo introduced SMS charges based on the number of characters. No recharges are needed to opt for per second calling after one year.

R. E. SOCIETYS GOGATE JOGALEKAR COLLEGE RATNAGIRI.

STUDY OF TATA DOCOMO Package activation of Airtel ranges from Rs.64 to Rs.99 and varies from circle to circle. Docomos does not charge anything extra for activating the per second pack since the tariff plan by default is on per second basis. The Airtel tariff calculation is hard ranging from 1p/sec to 1.2p/sec , but 20% higher to other operators whereas A2A calls are kept at 1p/sec and that to other operators are charged at 1.2p/sec. But Tata Docomo is offering a limited period offer of STD calls at 1p/sec. But Airtel is older than Docomo so it has compact network links than Docomo , so this is the place where Docomo has to establish itself. Meanwhile it is found that Docomo with both GSM and CDMA network added over 4 million subscribers in September, beating market leader Bharti Airtel yet again. Airtel had 2.5 million new users in September. The battle has just begun as new operators are still to join the war. Do have your say what you edict is going to be ?
