over wide geographical area routinely expect to gather information at their remote out put at
the push of the button. This realization resulted in a sophisticated way of communication
which has leads to development of mobile and telecommunication industry.
In the earlier days the telecommunication sector was operated by government. But as
the economy had its growth with more population and companies coming in the need for
communicating mobile, gathered importance. This leads to liberation and privatization of
economy where new companies emerged in the mobile industry. In this whole process
companies like AirTel, Spice, Hutch and Reliance have taken birth.

CONCLUSIONS
It is concluded that the over all field of AirTel is appreciable, in the prevailing cut
threat competition among the powerful telecom industry it appeared that AirTel has not only
entered play but to win and indeed it has one. If AirTel continues its brand identify,
awareness, image and service as it is doing now it would not be exaggerating AirTel may
force other brands vanish from the market. It appears that the brand AirTel has no doubt made
these mobile handsets available in the hands of people of all walks, but with an eye on
monetary gain.
It is a privilege to flash or own a brand AirTel mobile connections, it has become an identity
of pride and fashion. The growth of AirTel was graphically ascending but steadily spreading
its wings all over the market with uniformity. The AirTel brand enables customer to identify
so well that he is tempted to levy it again. There by setting him to be among the upper and
privilege class.
Brand awareness of the AirTel mobile connection it as such providing ideas, feelings to a
common man to enjoy the service. AirTel connection is boom bridging the long distance
eliminating the feeling of separation.
AirTel of Bharti Enterprises is enjoying a virtual monopoly as it has made a very good place
for itself in the competitive market.
