INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY

The management thesis which I was done as a part of my studies is A study
on customer perception of Airtel broadband services among small
medium enterprises, Indore. The study I conducted provided me an
excellent opportunity to implement all that I have learnt in my class room
sessions in the practical outfield.

The Bharti AIRTEL landline and broadband services has there in the market
of Indore couple of years and made there own identity in the market as a
landline and broadband service provider with a good number of high pulsing
customers. Among those good pulsing customers the SME customers are
also one of them. AIRTEL mainly focus on the customers of SME customers
who pays the average monthly bill amount of above Rs.2500/-. I am doing
my thesis on this particular topic due to the reason that I believe it will help
11

me know more about the marketing strategy, competitiveness and also about
the customer behavior. My thesis will help the company to know more about
their strength, customers and the area where they have to concentrate more
and also about their competitors strategy. This will also help the company to
build a good relationship with the customers.

CUSTOMER

A customer is someone who makes use of the paid products of an individual

or organization. This is typically through purchasing or renting goods or
services.

The word historically derives from custom, meaning habit; a customer

was someone who frequented a particular shop, who made it a habit to
purchase goods of the sort the shop sold there rather than elsewhere, and
with whom the shopkeeper had to maintain a relationship to keep his or her
custom, meaning expected purchases in the future. The shopkeeper
remembered the sizes and preferences of his or her customers, for example.
The word did not refer to those who purchased things at a fair or bazaar, or
from a street vendor.

12

Types of customers
Customers can be classified into two main groups: internal and external.
Internal customers work for the organization, possibly in another department
or another branch. External customers are essentially the general public.

Internal customers
People working in different departments of the vendors organization.
People working in different branches of the vendors organization.
External customers

Individuals

Businesses or business people, including suppliers, bankers and

competitors.

NGOs, Government bodies, Voluntary organizations.

Needs and Expectations

Customer needs may be defined as the facilities or services a customer
requires to achieve specific goals or objectives. Needs are generally no-

13

negotiable, but may be optional or of varying importance to the customer. In

any transaction, customers seek value-for-money, and will often consider a
range of vendors offers before settling on a purchase.
Customer expectations are based n perceived values of facilities or services
as applied to specific needs. Expectations are influenced by cultural values,
advertising, marketing, and other communications, both with the supplier
and with other sources. Expectations are negotiable and modifiable.

Both customer needs and expectations may be determined through

interviews, surveys, conversations or other methods of collecting
information. Customers at times do not have a clear understanding of their
needs. Assisting in determining needs is a valuable service to the customer,
the process, expectations may be set or adjusted to correspond to known
product capabilities or service levels.
A Customer can be defined on a businessmans or Sellerss point of view
as: A customer is the most important person in any business.
A customer is not dependent upon business. Business is dependent upon
him.
A customer is an essential part of the business- not an outsider

14

 A customer is not just money in the cash register. He is a human being

with feelings and deserves t be treated with respect.
A customer is a person who comes to sellers with his needs and his
wants. It is sellers job to fill them.
A customer deserves the most courteous attention the businessmen can
give him.
He is the lifeblood of every business. He pays the salary. Without him
business would have to closed the doors. As marketers we must never
forget int.
Thus customer is treated as the most important fundamental aspect of
marketing other than competitor and values.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Customer satisfaction is a business term which is used to capture the idea
of measuring how satisfied an enterprises customers are with the
organizations efforts in a market place.
Every organization has customers of some kind. The organization provides
products (goods and/or services) of some kind to its customers through the
mechanism of a marketplace. The products that organization provides are
subject to competition whether by similar product6s or by substitution
products.
The reason an organization is interested in the satisfaction of its customers is
because customers purchase the organizations products. Te organization is

15

interested in retaining its existing customers and increasing the number of its
customers.
Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual
manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person.
The state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and
physical variables.

The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other options the
customer may have and other products against which the customer can
compare the organizations products.
Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, it is a difficult thing
to measure quantitatively. In other words, there are no units of satisfaction
that have been defined.
The usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a survey instrument
with a set of statements. The customer is asked to evaluate each statement
and then select from a scale how the customer agrees or disagrees with
statement.
General model
A general model of the buyer decision process consists of the following
steps:
Want recognition;
Search of information on products that could satisfy the needs of the
buyer;
16

 Alternative selection:
Decision-making on buying the product;
Post-purchase behavior.
There exists an interaction between the desired results and customer
satisfaction, customer loyalty and customer retention. They may go by other
names such as patients, clients, buyers, etc. without the customer, it is
impossible for any business to sustain itself. Achieving the desired results is
frequently a result of customer action. Any business without a focus on
customer satisfaction is at the mercy of the market. Without loyal customers
eventually a competitor will satisfy those desires and your customer
retention rate will decrease.
There exists an interaction between the desired results and customer
satisfaction, customer loyalty and customer retention. They may go by other

impossible for any business to sustain itself.

Achieving the desired results is frequently a result of customer actions. Any

business without a focus on customer satisfaction is at the mercy of the
market. Without loyal customers eventually a competitor will satisfy those
desires and your customer retention rate will decrease.
There are several levels of Customers, they are:-

17

 Dissatisfied customer Looking for someone else to provide product

or service
Satisfied customer Open to the newt better opportunity
Loyal customer Returns despite offers by the competition

One of the ways to help obtain loyal customers is by having products and
services that there is very little chance that the customer requirements will
not be met and make them delightful. Of course one of the difficult is,
understanding the true customer requirements. Even when you have the
requirements in advance the customer can and will change them without
notice or excuse. Having a good recovery process for a dissatisfied customer
is a necessity.

Customer satisfaction measurement program

Customer satisfaction research is not an end unto itself. The purpose, of
course, in measuring customer satisfaction is to see where a company stands
in this regard in the eyes of its customers, thereby enabling service and
product improvements which will lead to higher satisfaction levels. The
research is just one component in the quest to improve customer satisfaction.
Customer satisfaction and consumer behavior are very closely related.
Consumer behavior is lightly different from customer satisfaction.
Consumer Behavior is the study of how people buy, what they buy, when
the buy and why they buy. It is a sub category of marketing that blends

18

elements from psychology, sociology, socio psychology, anthropology and

economics. It attempts to understand the buyer decision making process,
both individually and in groups, it studies characteristics of individual
consumers such as demographics, psychographics, and behavioral variables
in an attempt to understand peoples wants, it also tries to assess influences
on the consumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups, and
society in general, today the customer satisfaction is also termed as customer
delight; rather than satisfaction present day marketers try to make the
customers delight. Indian business is facing a variety of newer challenges.
The economy requires a different set of marketing responses, a major
business response is to sustain freshness in marketing and, to locate business
response is to sustain freshness in marketing and, to locate better approaches
for delighting customers, the name of the current marketing game is
sharply focus on customer satisfaction and retaining the satisfied customer
for life.
The idea of delighting customers may sound simple. However, it demands
extreme concentration and creativity in making it happen, it requires an
organizational approach. Thus, the route to customer delight is most
enduring when the entire organization is structured and geared for it under
the challenge leadership of marketing. The marketers need an array of
marketing skills, concepts and frame works for ensuring customer delight.
Models of consumer behavior:
One of the best known of the explanatory models that have been developed
to explain the interactions involved is that of Howard and Sheth. This
contains a deal of common sense, although, as is often the case with such
19

models, the rather obscure terminology makes it appear more confusing than
it really is. The inputs (stimuli) that the consumer receives from his or her
environments are:1. Significative the real (physical) aspects of the product or
service (which the consumer will make use of)
2. Symbolic the ideas or images attached by the supplier (for
example by advertising)
The outputs are what happens, the consumers actions, as observable
results of the input stimuli.
Between the inputs and outputs are the constructs, the processes which the
consumer goes through to decide upon his or her actions.
Howard and Sheth group these into two areas:1. Perceptual those concerned with obtaining and handling
information about the product or service,
2. Learning the processes of learning that lead to the decision
itself.
Such models can help theorists to explain consumer behavior better, but it
can be difficult to put them to practical use.
Brand Image and Brand Identity and Corporate Identity:
Brand image, in the other hand, is the totality of consumer perceptions about
the brand, or how they see it, which may not coincide with brand identity;
20

companies have to work hard on the consumer experience to make sure that
what customers see and think is what they want then to.
Brand identity is the total proposition that a company makes to consumers
the promise it makes. It may consist of features and attributes, benefits,
performances, quality, service support, and the values that the brand
possesses. The brand can be viewed as a product, a personality, a set of
values, and a position it occupies in peoples minds. Brand identity is
everything the company wants the brand to be seen as,
Corporate identity is concerned with the visual aspects of a companys
presence, when companies undertake corporate identity exercises; they are
usually modernizing their visual image in terms of logo, design, and
collaterals.
Such efforts do not normally entail a change in brand values so that the heart
of the brand remains the same what it stands for, r its personality.
Unfortunately, many companies do not realize this fallacy, as they are
sometimes led to believe by agencies and consultancy companies that visual
changes will change the brand image. But changes to logos, signage, and
even outlet design do not always change consumer perceptions of quality,
service, and the intangible associations that come to the fore when the brand
name is seen or heard.
In total Tse and Wilton (1988) has given some detail in their definition for
customer satisfaction as:-

21

The consumers response to the evaluation of the perceived discrepancy

between prior expectations (or some norm of performance) and the actual
performance of the product as perceived after its consumption.

1.2 Industry Profile

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
22

(DOT) was established. It was an exclusive provider of domestic and longdistance service that would be its own regulator (separate from the postal
system).
In 1986, two wholly government-owned companies were created: the Videsh
Sanchar
and

Nigam Limited (VSNL) for

Mahanagar Telephone

International

telecommunications

Nigam Limited (MTNL)

for

service in

metropolitan areas.

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
23

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.
Market Share of Public and Private Players
Both fixed line and mobile segments serve the basic needs of local calls,
long distance calls and the international calls, with the provision of
broadband services in the fixed line segment and GPRS in the mobile arena.
Traditional telephones have been replaced by the codeless and the wireless
instruments. Mobile phone providers have also come up with GPRS-enabled
multimedia messaging, Internet surfing, and mobile-commerce. The muchawaited 3G mobile technology is now entered the Indian telecom market.
The GSM, CDMA, WILL service providers are all upgrading themselves to
provide 3G mobile services.

24

Along with improvement in telecom services, there is also an improvement

in manufacturing. In the beginning, there were only the Siemens handsets in
India but now a whole series of new handsets, such as Nokia's latest Nseries, Sony Ericsson's W-series, Motorola's PDA phones, Apple iphone,
Blackberry mobile etc. have come up. Touch screen and advanced
technological handsets are gaining popularity. Radio services have also been
incorporated in the mobile handsets, along with other applications like high
storage memory, multimedia applications, multimedia games, MP3 Players,
video generators, Camera's, etc. The value added services provided by the
mobile service operators contribute more than 10% of the total revenue.

The telecom sector in the country has already adopted the latest
technological advancements to cater to the demands of the growing market.
Telecom Expo India, Convergence India, VAS India and IPTV India being

25

organized year to year are all efforts in this direction. Moreover, with
cheaper handsets and lesser tariffs, it is expected that by the year 2010 there
will be over 500 million subscribers in the Indian telecom market.

Also, the telecom industry this year will be focusing more on rural areas to
connect them with the urban areas so that the farmers and the small-scale
industries can have faster access to information related to weather and
market conditions.

The Industry can be segmented into:

I. Fixed line (Landline)
II. Wireless (CDMA, GSM, WLL))
III. Internet Services (Dial-up, Broadband etc.)
Segmentation of the target customers
Customers were divided on the basis of their occupation
1. Home users (Residential)
2. Small & Medium Enterprises (SME)
3. Corporate Sector (SMB)

Findings

1. Quality of the service provided plays an important role in

keeping the existing customers and to bring new customers.
2. In most of the organization, Internet plays an important role in
the day to day activities.
3. Most of the organizations prefer broadband connection over
other type of connection because of speed and other
compatibility of service.
4. A number of the organization preferred Airtel because of the
quality of service provided and also for the speed of data
transmission.
5. Many customers have rated the speed of data transmission is
very good. Some customers had complaints regarding the
speed. This is mostly due to number of systems connected by
single broadband connection.
66

6. The safety and security of Airtel network is rated very well by

most of its customers. Safety of data is very important in any
type of organization. Airtel with its own PC security suite helps
organizations protect its data from theft and prevents it from
harmful attacks.
7. After sales service plays essential part of customer satisfaction.
More than 10% customers have complaints regarding the after
sales service of Airtel broadband. But a number of customers
have reported it excellent and very good.
8. Customers feel Airtel broadband was much better than other
competitive products of the same category. This shows the
place Airtel has achieved in the minds of the customer in Indore
region.
9. The overall satisfaction level is very high among customers.

Suggestions
On completion of the project work Customer perception towards Airtel
broadband service among Small and medium scale industries (SME)
customers of Indore, I would like to give my suggestions which the
company can make use of:1. The customer rate quality of the service as the most relevant one and
hence Airtel Broadband services should maintain the quality in
services and should make improvements in this feature.
2. Some customers are planned to discontinue because of high billing
and after sales service is not good. Though it is a small percentage the
company should focus on these to keep the brand image in the minds
of people.
3. If any complaint is observed from the customers, it should be dealt
quickly. This will reduce the chance for dissatisfaction.

67

4. Many dissatisfied customers asked for more information about other

plans or change of plans. So the dissatisfaction may be due to
providing wrong plans by the sales persons. So the company can make
use of this opportunity to retain its customers by providing the right
plans.
5. SME segment is a high potential market (especially in Indore) and the
company should take care of more promotional activities in which
advertisement plays and effective role and hence to have a
competitive edge over other brands.
6. Lack of awareness about the plans is high among customers. So the
company must provide an awareness program about the specialized
plans for them.
7. The detailed billing is provided as a value added service in Airtel
broadband. It is free of cost in its competitors like BSNL. So the
company could provide the service as free of cost. It will help
customers clear their doubts about billing and hence to improve their
satisfaction level.

CONCLUSION

The project titled A study on customer perception of Airtel broadband

services among small medium enterprises, Indore was carried out
among the customers/consumers in Indore Region. The overall objective of
the study was to fine out how the customer perceives Airtel broadband
services and to find out their satisfaction towards the service against its
competitors. The study revealed the picture of customers perception and
satisfaction which help Airtel broadband to encourage more people to be the
customers/consumers of Airtel Broadband.
