History
Reliance Jio InfoComm Limited, commonly known as Jio, has emerged as a transformative
force in the telecommunications landscape of India. Founded in 2007, it is a subsidiary of
Reliance Industries Limited, one of India's largest conglomerates, led by business magnate
Mukesh Ambani. Jio's journey has been marked by groundbreaking innovations, rapid
expansion, and significant disruptions in the Indian telecom sector.
Evolution:
The genesis of Jio can be traced back to India's growing demand for affordable and high-
speed internet services. Recognizing this opportunity, Reliance Industries made strategic
investments in spectrum acquisitions, network infrastructure, and technological capabilities.
After years of meticulous planning and development, Jio officially launched its services to
the public on September 5, 2016.
Jio's entry into the market was characterized by disruptive pricing strategies, offering free
voice calls and incredibly low-cost data plans. This move triggered a price war among
telecom operators, leading to a significant reduction in tariffs and increased accessibility to
mobile data services across India. Jio's nationwide rollout of 4G LTE network infrastructure
played a pivotal role in bridging the digital divide and bringing millions of Indians online for
the first time.
With a focus on digital inclusion, Jio expanded its offerings beyond traditional
telecommunications services. The company ventured into digital content streaming, e-
commerce, fintech, and other sectors, leveraging its robust network infrastructure and user
base to create a comprehensive digital ecosystem.
Jio's relentless pursuit of innovation has propelled it to the forefront of India's digital
revolution. The company has continually introduced new technologies and services, including
VoLTE (Voice over LTE), fiber broadband, IoT (Internet of Things) solutions, and more
recently, 5G network trials.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

Introduction of telecom industry :
India is currently the world’s second-largest telecommunications market and has registered
strong growth in the past decade and half. The Indian mobile economy is growing rapidly and
will contribute substantially to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), according to report
prepared by GSM Association (GSMA) in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group
(BCG). The liberal and reformist policies of the Government of India have been instrumental
along with strong consumer demand in the rapid growth in the Indian telecom sector. The
government has enabled easy market access to telecom equipment and a fair and proactive
regulatory framework that has ensured availability of telecom services to consumer at
affordable prices. The deregulation of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) norms has made the
sector one of the fastest growing and a top five employment opportunity generator in the
country. The Indian telecom sector is expected to generate four million direct and indirect
jobs over the next five years according to estimates by Randstad India. The employment
opportunities are expected to be created due to combination of government’s efforts to
increase penetration in rural areas and the rapid increase in smartphone sales and rising
internet usage. International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts India to overtake US as the
second-largest smartphone market globally by 2017 and to maintain high growth rate over the
next few years as people switch to smartphones and gradually upgrade to 4G.

FINDINGS OF THE
INTERNSHIP PROJECT

OBJECTIVE:
Analyzing the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) for the network operators involves several
key objectives aimed at understanding and enhancing the financial performance and customer
experience of the targeted regions as Kolkata, East India and Pan India. Here are the primary
objectives for an ARPU analysis:
2. Customer Segmentation
• Churn Analysis: Analyze the correlation between ARPU and customer churn rates to
develop strategies for retention.

Data Collection:
The data was sourced from the official TRAI website (www.trai.gov.in), which publishes
quarterly and annual reports on the performance of the telecom sector in India. These reports
include detailed statistics necessary to calculate ARPU, subscriber base, revenue and other
key performance indicators.

CONCLUTION

CONCLUTION-
Overall, Jio emerges as the leader in subscriber numbers, capturing a significant market share
across all regions. Airtel follows closely behind, particularly excelling in revenue generation
at the pan-India level. VI, while holding the third position in both subscribers and revenue,
demonstrates competitive strength in the Kolkata market.
Airtel's ability to maintain the highest Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) signifies its
effectiveness in extracting value from its customer base. Jio, on the other hand, opts for a
broader market approach with lower ARPU but high subscriber numbers. VI's ARPU
variations across regions highlight its potential for growth in specific markets like Kolkata.
In summary, while Jio dominates in subscriber numbers, Airtel leads in revenue generation,
and VI shows potential for regional growth. Each telecom operator has its strengths and
focuses, contributing to a dynamic and competitive telecom landscape in India.
