         over the last decade; how will it evolve over the next 5 years?

    matching ROI.
•   Price wars to somehow gain business volume; hamper income and the
    business viability.
•    Stake holders are compelled to follow the market in pricing, in order to
    retain market share.

Strategy In rural
•   Studies the commercial viability of a rural based on parameters
    such as source of livelihood, average income, and involvement in
    frequent commercial transactions or travels.
•   Qualifying villages are first to receive a base station
•    Bharti Airtel tracks the revenue generated per base station (instead
    of ARPU, which is considered less relevant in a rural context).
•   Use of local languages, Vans.
•   Set up PCO’s to increase brand awareness and service.
•   Customer service centre are set up with the use of local employees
•   Bharti Airtel has already established over 18,000 service centers in
    rural India, covering over 400 languages and local dialects
Future Strategy
• Changes in the organization structure

• QUALCOMM (US based company- has broadband
  license in four circle-Mumbai, Delhi, kerala &
  Haryana)

• Also keep an eye on- UNINOR, VIDEOCON, STEL.

• Additional 40,000 towers for rural market
Strength And weakness
• Strength
  – Very focused on Telecom
  – Leadership in fast growing telecom sector
  – Pan-India footprint


• Weakness
- Price competition from vodafone and idea
- Untapped rural market.
