telecom sector. The Tata Group includes over 100 companies, over 450,000
employees worldwide and more than 3.8 million shareholders.
GFGC, Shivamogga 9
Incorporated in 1996, Tata Teleservices Limited was the pioneer of the
CDMA 1x technology platform in India, embarking on a growth path after the
acquisition of Hughes Tele.com (India) Ltd [renamed Tata Teleservices
(Maharashtra) Limited] by the Tata Group in 2002. Over the last few years,
the company has launched significant services CDMA mobile operations in
January 2005 under the brand name Tata Indicom, market-defining wireless
mobile broadband services under the brand name Tata Photon in 2008 and 2G
GSM services under the brand name Tata DOCOMO in 2009.
One of the key milestones in October 2011 was the brand integration exercise
at TTL, which saw the Company’s many brands being consolidated under its
single flagship brand, Tata DOCOMO. This helped TTL leverage the benefits
of brand synergies and capitalize on its vast retail and distribution network,
which is the largest amongst all private telecom operators in the country.
GFGC, Shivamogga 10
Tata DOCOMO marks a significant milestone in the Indian telecom
landscape, and has already redefined the very face of telecoms in India, being
the first to pioneer the per-second tariff option part of its ‘Pay for What You
Use’ pricing paradigm.
Tata Teleservices Limited also became the first Indian private telecom
operator to launch 3G services in India under with the launch of services in
November 2010 in all nine telecom Circles where the company bagged the
3G license. In association with its partner NTT DOCOMO, the Company
finds itself favorably positioned to leverage this first-mover advantage. With
3G, Tata DOCOMO has begun to redefine the very face of telecoms in India.
Tokyo-based NTT DOCOMO is one of the world’s leading mobile operators
in Japan, the company is the clear market leader, used by nearly 55 per cent of
the country’s mobile phone users.
TTL entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Indian retail giant
Future Group to offer mobile telephony services under a new brand name
T24, on the GSM platform. Tata Teleservices also has a strategic tie up with
Virgin Mobile that primarily caters to youth segment offering mobility
services on both CDMA and GSM platform.

Tata DOCOMO is an Indian cellular service provider on the GSM, CDMA
and platform-arising out of the strategic joint venture between Tata
Teleservices and NTT Docomo in November 2008. It is the country's sixth
largest operator in terms of subscribers (including both GSM and CDMA).
History
Further information: Tata Group
Tata DOCOMO is part of the Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The company
received the license to operate GSM services in nineteen telecom circles and
was allotted spectrum in eighteen of these circles and launched GSM services
on 24 June 2009. It began operations first in South India and currently
operates GSM services in eighteen of twenty two telecom circles. It has
licences to operate in Delhi but has not been allocated spectrum from the
Government. Docomo provides services throughout India. Tata DOCOMO
offers both prepaid and postpaid cellular phone services. It has become very
popular with its one second pulse especially in semi-urban and rural areas.
On 5 November 2010, Tata DOCOMO became the first private sector telecom
company to launch 3G services in India. Tata DOCOMO had about 42.34
million users at the end of December 2010.
In April 2011, Tata DOCOMO signed Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor as its
brand ambassador on a three year contract. For the southern states of Tamil
Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, actors Vijay and Ram Charan Teja are the brand
ambassadors respectively.
GFGC, Shivamogga 15
Rebranding
On 20 October 2011, the Tata Group brought its brands – CDMA, GSM,
Walky (Fixed Wireless Phone), Photon, INTERNET – under the Tata
DOCOMO name. All subscribers to these services were migrated to the
Docomo brand on 20 October 2011. The companies other brands – Virgin
Mobile and T24 – are not part of the rebranding and continue to retain their
names.
3G
On 19 May 2010, the 3G spectrum auction in India ended. Tata DOCOMO
paid 6964.29 crores for spectrum in 22 circles. These circles obtained 3G
licences and they are Madhya Pradesh&Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana,
Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra & Goa, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh
(West).
On 5 November 2010, Tata DOCOMO became the first private sector telecom
company (third overall) to launch 3G services in India, with a 20 city launch.
On July 19, 2011, Docomo and Aircel entered into a roaming agreement for
3G services to jointly roll out 3G networks in the three circles where they
both have coverage (Karnataka, Kerala, and Punjab). On December 14, 2011,
Docomo ended its agreement with Aircel. Both operators ended the deal after
the Department of Telecom said that such 3G arrangements were illegal, as
the pacts violate licence terms and conditions. Tata DOCOMO and Aircel
currently have bilateral roaming agreements to allow their subscribers to
seamlessly use 3G on roaming. Tata Docomo customers use Reliance GSM's
3G network when they are on roaming in Delhi.
GFGC, Shivamogga 16
Docomo had about 1.5 million 3G subscribers as of May 2011.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Customer Satisfaction
The 21-century belongs to the service sector. The customer of yesteryear 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 product’s with the performance
that he expects of it.
GFGC, Shivamogga 18
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 influenchat to change their mind at the last
minute. Some of today’s most successful companies are raising expectation
and delivering performanses to match. These companies are aiming at TCS-
Total customer Satisfaction.
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.
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
GFGC, Shivamogga 19
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.
GFGC, Shivamogga 20
PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES
Many different promotions have come under criticism, particularly when they
are judged to be illegal or unfair. Bait-and-switch refers to the practice of
advertising one product at a low price, but having none of that product on
hand when consumers arrive to make the purchase. Conveniently, this
technique results in the seller having other, similar, more expensive products
available.
Putting aside the issue of promotional activities that are illegal, there remain
examples of promotions that may be unscrupulous, or perhaps merely
prejudicial. The potential for this arises when promotional activities are not
directly associated with the product or service that is ostensibly being
promoted. As an example, Virginia Slims sponsored a women's tennis
tournament for many years. The sport of tennis received the financial backing,
and the cigarette was associated with a popular sport and received
considerable publicity as its name was mentioned in legitimate sports
coverage.

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
Docomo’s 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.
Now while this plan might sound unique, it isn’t that it hasn’t 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.
• Tata Indicom storms pr-paid market launches True Paid
• True Paid symbolizes the only "honest and transparent" pre-paid offering
available In India
• True Paid is India's first T-SIM based mobile service offering optimum value
for Money
• Tata Indicom launches 2 T-SIM-enabled and 4 non T-SIM-enabled handsets.

ADVERTISING MEDIA CHANNELS :
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-per-second 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'.

FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION

Chapter 5
FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION
Findings
It is found that Tata Teleservices is the first company to launch prepaid 1
pec. p/sec. services in the country.
The call rates are found to be at par with the other competitors.
The availability of the recharge voucher was found good. But some time it
is not available.
Most of the respondents found the customer care service is not
satisfactory.
Nearly all the respondents told that Quick Problem Solving is desirable
quality in the customer care Executives.
The queries and problem of the customer were solved but not immediately,
there is a scope for improvement.
More stress was given on customer acquisition then satisfying the Existing
customers.
While conducting a survey it was found that still many people are not
aware of the term GSM and CDMA even they basic difference between
them.
The voice clarity of GSM is batter than CDMA. When CDMA phones are
near any digital or magnetic instrument the poor crack due to interference
and also cross connection problems are faced by some of the users.
GSM users are satisfied with good coverage strength anywhere.
GFGC, Shivamogga 55
Many people who are interested in internet connectivity and data transfer
services get attracted to GSM. As internet connectivity and data transfer is
cheaper with GSM.
It is found that international roaming facility is not so good as is should be.
Supplementary facilities like call wait call forward, call hold, call divert,
call conference is satisfied the users.
It is found that overall performance of GSM technology is good.

SUGGESTION
GFGC, Shivamogga 57
CONCLUSION
After analyzing and interpretation of the various graphs and findings I have
arrived at the conclusion that the overall satisfaction level of GSM prepaid
customer is good. In some reference and in other they are not satisfied. As
Tata communication is a brand name in itself so customer feel good for that
and also expects a lot from that. And when their expectations don’t match
with company service, whatever they provide, they become dissatisfied.
For long run process brand image and price plays a vary important role in
success and elements of brand equity are:
The awareness it enjoy, the advertising viewer ship it has the image or
perceived quality in the mind of customer, advertising association and
symbol. Successful development of brand equity that drives the mark
position, persisting over long period of time and is capable of resisting
competitors.
