1.1 Telecom sector in India
In the today#s competitive world communication plays a very important role. $ommunication
has become an integral part of the growth, success and efficiency of any business. This is the
technology that gives a person the power to communicate anytime, anywhere. %ue to
advancement in technology, now communication becomes easy and faster. India&s telecom
sector has shown massive upsurge in the recent years in all respects of industrial growth. The
telecom network in India is the fifth largest network in the world meeting with global
standards. . A revolution in wireless telecommunications began in the first decade of the '(th
century with pioneering developments in wireless radio communications by )ikola Tesla and
1
*uglielmo +arconi. +arconi won the )obel ,ri-e in ,hysics in ./(/ for his efforts. 0ther
highly notable pioneering inventors and developers in the field of electrical and electronic
telecommunications include $harles 1heatstone and 2amuel +orse 3telegraph4, Alexander
*raham Bell 3telephone4, 5dwin Armstrong, and 6ee de "orest 3radio4, as well as 7ohn 6ogie
Baird and ,hilo "arnsworth 3television4. "rom the status of state monopoly with very limited
growth, it has grown in to the level of an industry. 1ith .'8 million telephone networks,
India has one of the largest communication networks in the world, which continues to grow at
a blistering pace. The rapid growth in the telecom sector can be attributed to the various pro9
active and positive policy measures taken by the government as well as the dynamic and
entrepreneurial spirit of the various telecom service providers both in private and public
sectors. The telecom sector has shown impressive growth during the past decade. $ellular
telephone services have achieved great commercial success: because users recogni-e the
mobile telephone access can improve productivity and enhance safety. A new subscriber is
opting for cellular services for personal security, safety and convenience. Today, more
striking features of this growth vi-. increasing preference for mobile phones and higher
contribution of private sector in the incremental growth have pre9dominated the telecom
sector. The share of mobile phones 3including 166 mobile4 has overtaken the share of
landlines with ;'< in the total number of phones. The total number of telephones in the
country stands at /(=.8; million, while the overall teledensity has increased to >?.?'< as of
?. 0ctober '(.? and the total numbers of mobile phone subscribers have reached @>8.=@
million as of 0ctober '(.?. The mobile teledensity had increased to >(./;< in 0ctober '(.?.
In the wireless segment, =./( million subscribers were added in 0ctober '(.?. The wire line
segment subscriber base stood at '/.(@ million.
2
India has witnessed the largest growth in the wireless mobile subscriber base worldwide only
next to $hina. "or the urban masses mobile has become a necessity and for the wealthy a
gi-mo to flaunt. Increase in demand and the poor !uality of existing telecommunication
services led mobile service providers to find out ways to improve the !uality of service and to
support more users in their systems. 1ith over /(( million telephone connections, India
remained the world&s second9largest telecommunications market in '(.?, recovering from the
bumpy ride the year before, but made little progress to ump to the next generation of
services. The year under review had already e!uipped the government with a roadmap,
following the release of the )ational Telecom ,olicy of '(.'. But legal issues, like the
ongoing battle over allotment of airwaves, or spectrum, in '((@, kept decision9making in
check. )evertheless, the government did announce some significant initiatives 9 like the
much9awaited policy on mergers and ac!uisitions and permitted .(( per cent foreign
investment in the sector 9 which will drive Indian telecom in the years to come, analysts feel.
+ore importantly, the share of urban subscribers declined from ;'.'( per cent in %ecember
to ;(.'; per cent in 0ctober9end, while rural telecom penetration rose from ?/.;= per cent to
?/.>= per cent in 0ctober. According to analysts, one principal area where the government
faltered in '(.? was in the area of auctioning precious airwaves, or radio fre!uency spectrum.
This, they said, did not materialise in +arch '(.? due to artificially9high reserve price.
)ow, all eyes are on 7anuary '? next year when the next round of spectrum auctions is set to
begin. The government, this time, feels it has kept the reserve price at a moderate level and
hopes it will fetch the exche!uer some A;8( million. The history of Indian telecom can be
started with the introduction of telegraph. The Indian postal and telecom sectors are one of
the world#s oldest. In .@8(, the first experimental electric telegraph line was started
between $alcutta and %iamond Barbour. In .@8., it was opened for the use of the British
3
5ast India $ompany. The ,osts and Telegraphs department occupied a small corner of the
,ublic 1orks %epartment, at that time.
2ubse!uently, the construction of =,((( miles 3;,=(( km4 of telegraph lines connecting
Colkata 3then $alcutta4 and ,eshawar in the north along with Agra, +umbai 3then Bombay4
through 2indwa *hats, and $hennai 3then +adras4 in the south, as well
as 0otacamund and Bangalore was started in )ovember .@8?. 1illiam 0&2haughnessy, who
pioneered the telegraph and telephone in India, belonged to the ,ublic 1orks %epartment,
and worked towards the development of telecom throughout this period. A separate
department was opened in .@8= when telegraph facilities were opened to the public.
In .@@(, two telephone companies namely The 0riental Telephone $ompany 6td. and The
Anglo9Indian Telephone $ompany 6td. approached the *overnment of India to
establish telephone exchanges in India. The permission was refused on the grounds that the
establishment of telephones was a *overnment monopoly and that the *overnment itself
would undertake the work. In .@@., the *overnment later reversed its earlier decision and a
licence was granted to the 0riental Telephone $ompany 6imited of 5ngland for opening
telephone exchanges at $alcutta, Bombay, +adras and Ahmedabad and the first formal
telephone service was established in the country. 0n '@ 7anuary .@@', +aor 5. Baring,
+ember of the *overnor *eneral of India&s $ouncil declared open the Telephone 5xchanges
in $alcutta, Bombay and +adras. The exchange in $alcutta named the D$entral 5xchangeD
had a total of /? subscribers in its early stage. 6ater that year, Bombay also witnessed the
opening of a telephone exchange. 6iberalisation of Indian telecommunication industry started
in ./@. when ,rime +inister Indira *andhi signed contracts with Alcatel $IT of "rance to
merge with the state owned Telecom $ompany 3ITI4, in an effort to set up 8,(((,((( lines per
year. But soon the policy was let down because of political opposition. Attempts to liberalise
4
the telecommunication industry were continued by the following government under the
prime9minister9ship of Eaiv *andhi. Be invited 2am ,itroda, a F29based )on9resident
Indian )EI and a former Eockwell International executive to set up a $entre for
%evelopment of Telematics 3$9%0T4 which manufactured electronic telephone exchanges in
India for the first time.

2am ,itroda had a significant role as a consultant and adviser in the
development of telecommunication in India. This was a gateway to many foreign investors to
get entry into the Indian Telecom +arkets. After +arch '(((, the government became more
liberal in making policies and issuing licences to private operators. The government further
reduced licence fees for cellular service providers and increased the allowable stake to >=<
for foreign companies. Because of all these factors, the service fees finally reduced and the
call costs were cut greatly enabling every common middle9class family in India to afford a
cell phone. )early ?' million handsets were sold in India. The data reveals the real potential
for growth of the Indian mobile market. +any private operators, such as Eeliance
$ommunications, Tata Indicom, Vodafone, 6oop +obile, Airtel, Idea etc., successfully
entered the high potential Indian telecom market.

$ompetitive Analysis Vodafone has veered towards warmth and emotions. Vodafone uses the
powerful visual aspect of advertisement like M00M00 and emotional aspect of dog. They are
targeting middle class persons as well the elite as their target audience. MooMoos are the latest
creation of Vodafone ads, showed during I,6 matches. It was created by 0gilvy and +ather,
an international advertising, marketing, and public relations agency. It is aimed at showing
16
various value added services of Vodafone. ?( TV commercials for MooMoo were shot in .(
days. In 2eptember '(.(, an investigation by Private Eye maga-ine revealed certain details
of Vodafone&s tax avoidance activities. It was reported that Vodafone routed the ac!uisition
of +annesmann through a 6uxembourg subsidiary, set up to avoid paying tax on the deal,
and continued to place its profits in 6uxembourg. "ollowing a long legal struggle
with B+E$ 3during which a senior B+E$ official, 7ohn $onnors, switched sides to become
head of tax at Vodafone4, it was eventually agreed that Vodafone would pay Q..'8 billion
related to the ac!uisition. Based on Vodafone&s accounts, experts have estimated the potential
tax bill written off as a result of the negotiations was over Q; billion.
The news of this legal tax avoidance sparked angry protests, beginning in 0ctober '(.( and
ongoing as of April '(.., outside Vodafone shops across the FC, organised under the banner
of FC Fncut. The first protests caused the simultaneous closure of over a do-en stores,
including the flagship 0xford 2treet branch.
In '(.., ,rivate 5ye maga-ine and The Bureau of Investigative 7ournalism alleged that
Vodafone&s 2wiss branches were run by a single part9time bookkeeper. The report claimed
hardly any business was done from there, indicating that the main purpose of the Mug office
was tax avoidance. The report claimed the money was borrowed from the 2wiss branch of the
6uxembourg company allowing it to take advantage of 6uxembourg#s laws, which exempts
foreign branches of companies from tax, and 2wiss laws, which almost completely exempt
local branches of foreign companies. According to the expose, this would have otherwise
generated a British tax bill on a little over Q' billion. It said Vodafone publishes a single,
combined set of accounts for its 6uxembourg subsidiaries and their 2wiss branches. "or the
one company, profits worth Q..; billion were taxed at less than one per cent in '(.., and the
profits are likely to have been attributed to 2wit-erland. In its response to these allegations,
17
Vodafone has said the 2wiss branch has not been involved in Vodafone#s global financing for
a number of years. It is, therefore, irrelevant in respect to global financing arrangements.

1..2 #amplin! Techni;"e Bayes 3'((@4 suggested that sometimes for organi-ationsJfirms
that have tens of thousands of customers, it is not possible to get survey data from all their
customers. In fact, for getting the reliable picture of customer#s level of satisfaction and
loyalty, it may not be necessary to survey each and every client. The best approach to analy-e
views of a particular land, community or large number of people about a specific product or
service is to develop a sample. This sample represents the entire population. Eesults from
these samples are used to calculate the customer satisfaction and loyalty for particular
product or service. The sampling techni!ue chosen for the research work is non9probability
convenience sampling. This is because respondents were selected based on their availability
23
for the study. 2ampling units are customers of Vodafone and Airtel residing in %elhi and
)$E region.
1..' Data Anal,sis The above aims and obectives were achieved using the methods of
statistical analysis and through investigation of primary and secondary data. The collected
data was analysed by using 2,22 software package.

The focus of this literature review is on the theories and studies associated with the factors
affecting the customer satisfaction while choosing for a telecom service provider. It
endeavours to determine the factors that influence and are used to measure customer
satisfaction in telecom service sectors. All these concepts have been explained using
secondary research on literature available from other researchers.
2.1 A criti;"e on pre1io"s research on C"stomer satis&action in the Telecom sector in
India
The growth in demand for telecom services in India is not limited to basic telephone services.
India has witnessed rapid growth in cellular, radio paging: value added services, internet and
global communication by sated item 3*+,$24 services. The agents of change, as observed
from international perspective, have been broadly categori-ed into economic structure,
competition policy and technology. 5conomic reforms and liberali-ation have driven telecom
sector through several transmission channels of which these three categories are of maor
significance.

37alior Di1ision India- state India&s telecom sector has shown massive upsurge in the
recent years in all respects of industrial growth. "rom the status of state monopoly with very
limited growth, it has grown in to the level of an industry. $ellular telephone services have
achieved great commercial success: because users recogni-e the mobile telephone access can
improve productivity and enhance safety. A new subscriber is opting for cellular services for
personal security, safety and convenience. Increase in demand and the poor !uality of

that in digital telecommunication to send symbols corresponding with each symbol, a time
signal is sent and in receiver side, these signals being gathered by channel noise are received
and demodulated. %emodulation is gaining components of time signals on base vectors.
According to the achieved components, the receiver detects the sent symbol. The noise
causes error in detection and in this way optimi-ation e!uation reduces error probability. The
way to define the sent signals in vector space has direct link with error probability and by
good selection, we can minimi-e this error. The design of two9dimensional optimi-ed signals
in digital telecommunication was analy-ed and simulated by three global optimi-ation
methods. According to the results of simulation, +626 algorithm does better and had access
to better results.

2.2 Theoretical Description
The definition of the different variables that researcher came across during the study are
discussed belowG
33
2.21 C"stomer #atis&action The O9&ord Dictionaries Online states that the word
Ssatisfaction# is derived from 6atin word Ssatisfacere# and means fulfilment of one#s wishes,
expectations, or needs, or the pleasure derived from this. %ifferent authors view customer
satisfaction in different perspectives. 2ome view it as an outcome, others view it as a process,
and yet others believe it to be a perception, while the rest think it is a measure of how
products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.
$ustomer satisfaction is a measurement of how pleased customers are with a particular
product or service. 2atisfied customers are likely to make repeat purchases and often refer
others. 2ince a lot of research has been performed in the field of customer satisfaction, many
definitions have been formulated as to what $ustomer 2atisfaction entails. 2atisfied
customers are more likely to stay loyal, consume more and are more likely to recommend
their friends to the business.

Anal,sis
+aority of the respondents appear to be youth and middle aged individuals. Though the
sample chosen was a convenience sample, but it appears that both Airtel and Vodafone has
fewer customers in the older age group 3above 8( years4. This could be due to the reason that
today, mostly youngsters are inclined towards using the tech savvy mobile technologies out
38
in the market and hence re!uire the mobile services to compliment those, be it for socialising,
working or even listening to music. The composition of the sample indicates that the maority

#UMMARL AND CONCLU#ION
The present chapter aims to recollect the various phases of the study. A summary of the
research with the main findings has also been presented. Eevisiting of obectives is essential
to understand whether the purpose and aim of research has been achieved. 6imitations of the
study have been pointed out. Eecommendations based on the study have also been presented.
"inally, the chapter throws light on directions for future research.

).1 Res"lt o& the st"d,
The review of previous research work on the subect helped to determine the association of
customer satisfaction for Airtel and Vodafone. The !uestionnaires were filled by .'8
respondents who are or have been subscribers of both Airtel and Vodafone. The descriptive
statistics vi-. ,aired T test was calculated for each of the service provider. After data was
analy-ed,the association and differences between the various services and supplementaryy
services offered by both Airtel and Vodafone was derived. Thus, there was no significant
difference that was analysed between the levels of customer satisfaction that were being
offered by both the service providers. This showed that both the companies have been
successful in catering to the needs of their respective customers.
Bowever, Vodafone has had an upper hand by a very slim margin when it comes to the
supplementary services being offered by it in contrast to those being offered by Airtel. Airtel
should provide better standard of supplemntary services to their customers in order to
increase the customer satisfaction level pertaining to those areas. 1hereas, t was determined
that Vodafone lagged behind Airtel when it came to the main services being offered by them.
).2 $indin!s o& the #t"d,
a. It has been statistically verified that there is no significant difference between the customer
satisfaction of Airtel and Vodafone.
b. +aority of consumers are happy with the network services provided by their telecom
service providers.
c. About =>.>8< of the customers are satisfied and .@< are extremely satisfied with the
network services provided to them by their respective service providers.
51
d. It has been observed that Airtel has a slightly upper hand over Vodafone when it comes to
providing the main services such as the time taken for restoration of connection, problem
solving ability of their executives, availability of networks and !uality of fault repair.
e. It has been observed that Vodafone has slightly upper hand over Airtel when it comes to
providing supplementary services such as the net pack services, the message card services,
the ease of setting a caller tune to one#s contact number and the voice clarity of the networks.
f. It has been statistically proved through paired T Test that there is no significant difference
between the main services being offered by Airtel and Vodafone.
g. Airtel and Vodafone both give cut9throat competition to each other in the Indian telecom
industry and are well established and trusted by their subscribers. 2o in order to get ahead of
their competitor they would have to opt for a marketing strategy that is fresh and innovative
enough to lure more customers from the market since the customers that are already using
their respective services are well satisfied with each of their performances.
).' Limitations o& the #t"d,
The methodology that has been employed might have a few limitations which have been
mentioned as belowG
a. %ue to limited available time, convenience sampling was used.
b. The sample si-e was restricted to .'8 only which acted as a constraint.
c. The sample of research was selected based upon the criterion of being the current or a past
subscriber of both Airtel and Vodafone in %elhi and )$E region.
d. The study was carried out in a very limited time and under a very strict budget so this acts
as a limitation.
e. The responses given by respondents are not always accurate because the respondents give
the response according to their interpretation.
52
f. Though !uantitative approach has been followed in this research, it is still !uestionable
whether the results are generali-able among all types of consumers each of who have
different intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics that affect their customer satisfaction.
g. 2urvey is a time consuming process but the time to collect the data for research was very
less.
h. 5valuation is based on the primary data generated through !uestionnaire and accuracy of
the findings entirely depends on the accuracy of such data and unbiased responses of the
customers.
i. 6ack of expertise on the part of the researcher act as a limitation for the researcher.
).) Mana!erial Implications
a. The problem solving ability of its executives needs to be improved and looked into by
Vodafone.
b. Vodafone needs to improve the time taken by it for restoration of connection.
c. Airtel needs to improve the voice clarity of its services.
d. Airtel needs to improve the net pack services that it offers to the customers
e. Vodafone needs to improve the !uality of its repair services.
f. Vodafone needs to improve that availability of its networksJsignals
g. Airtel needs to provide better !uality of supplementary services in the message card 32+24
services, and make the process of setting caller tunes to one#s contact number simpler to use.
).+ #cope &or $"t"re Research
The scope of the present is that the focus of the study is limited to the study of consumer
satisfaction in terms of the main services and the supplementary services being offered by
Airtel and Vodafone. The study is focused on the telecom sector of India. *eographically
study is confined to %elhi and )$E region. The researcher of the present study believes that
53
the basic !uestions of the study have been answered. The current study was aimed at yielding
descriptive result of the difference in the customer satisfaction of Airtel and Vodafone.
In view of the above mentioned limitations, there should be mentioned some future avenues
for investigationsG
a. The further studies need to refine the sampling method. It would be better if a stratified
random sample would be selected through telephone catalogues and a larger number of
consumers would participate. 0f course, such an approach would be time consuming and
involve cost.
b. The further studies can be carried out using longitudinal study design so that the dynamics
of customer satisfaction can be ascertained over time.
c. "uture research need to explore and analyse the other variables that impact customer
satisfaction, so as to gain better insight into the factors that drive customer satisfaction in a
telecom sector. 2uch research should be aimed at arriving at predictive models to analyse the
satisfied behaviour and attitude exhibited by the customer.
d. "uture researchers need to keep in mind that time does not become a hindrance for their
research i.e. the research is conducted with ample of time and not with constraint so as to
derive the results fast.
e. "inally, it would be of great scientific value if the participants came from all over India,
including both urban and rural areas. Thus, it could be also examined how people other than
citi-ens of %elhi and )$E perceive the services offered by Airtel and Vodafone and how
their satisfaction is related to it.
f. 2ince most of the subscribers are young and middle aged people, Airtel and Vodafone can
introduce services focussing on the needs of those age groups.

R8COMM8NDATION#
The present chapter aims to make some suggestions based on the Analysis and findings of the
study. These suggestions are aimed at improving the service !uality of Airtel and Vodafone,
thereby impacting the $ustomer 2atisfaction.
+.1 Recommendations o& the st"d,
55
This research study suggests that managers of Airtel and Vodafone study customer
satisfaction for three reasons. "irst, managers do not know what aspects of the service have
satisfied the customers and what aspects of the service rendered need improvement. By
measuring customer satisfaction on various dimensions, managers of Airtel and Vodafone
may be able to explain, predict and account for factors that enhance and reduce $ustomer
satisfaction. 2econd, +anagers of Airtel and Vodafone need to understand what drives a
customer from being satisfied differently by their services as compared to the services being
offered by their competitors in the market. This re!uires an understanding and exploration of
the various behavioural and attitudinal indicators and factors leading to $ustomer
satisfaction. Third, +anagers may be able to develop a systematic model for establishing a
relationship between $ustomer satisfaction and the factors affecting them, so as to devise
effective strategies for the future.
The study recommends that the following steps be instituted at Airtel and Vodafone in order
to enhance and differentiate $ustomer 2atisfaction
a. 2ince there is no difference in the customer satisfaction of Airtel and Vodafone, both the
service providers must try and differentiate their services from the other in order to have the
competitive advantage of product differentiation.
b. Attracting customers is one thing but retaining them is a tedious task which re!uires great
effort. 2o in order to maintain a large customer base both these companies have to introduce
new main and supplementary services to enhance their brand.
c. 5xcessive sales promotions erode !uality and image of brand therefore sales promotion as
a strategy should be used in precautious manner so as to balance between its immediate and
long term effects
56
d. Both Airtel and Vodafone need to bring a change in their services, since they both offer
services of the same nature, which makes the customers indifferent between the two at times.
e. Airtel has a slightly upper hand over Vodafone in main services and so in order to catch up
Vodafone must take the necessary measures in the time taken for restoration of connection,
problem solving ability of their executives, availability of networks and !uality of fault
repair.
f. Vodafone has a slightly upper over Airtel in the supplementary services and so in order to
catch up Airtel must take the necessary measures in net pack services, the message card
services, the ease of setting a caller tune to one#s contact number and the voice clarity of the
networks.
g. "or those subscribers who have been with the same service provider for a long period of
time an appropriate reward programs that recognise the loyal customers and encourage them
to remain loyal need to be instituted and implemented.
h. The marketing +ix must address the needs of this target segment, so as to improve
2atisfaction. To a large extent this is being achieved, but marketing programs need to be
continuously innovative to stay ahead of the competition.
i. Analysis of buying patterns of various Target segments needs to be carried out and
carefully studied in order to launch appropriate promotional strategies as well as to constantly
improve the service variety offered. This will go a long way in enhancing customer
satisfaction.
+.2 #"mmar,
57
The chapter discusses certain suggestions on the basis of the researcher#s findings. It is
believed that the implementation of these suggestions will lead to a differential customer
satisfaction for Airtel and Vodafone.
