Bangalore´
PurposeCellular Phones represent the best of modern wireless technology and are one of the best popular
tools of the early twenty first century facilitating business, recreation and vital emergency
communication. It has ceased to be a luxury as more people are realizing its advantages. Hence,
it will not be surprising when in the near future the number of landline telephone owners is less
than the number of cell phone users.
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. In1883 telephone
services were merged with the postal system.
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 (DOT) was established. It was an exclusive provider of domestic and long
distance service that would be its own regulator (separate from the postal system). In 1986, two
wholly government-owned companies were created: the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL)
for international telecommunications and Mahanagar Telephone 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 in1999 and cellular services were also launched in the same year.
y
The Telecom industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India.
y
India has nearly 200 million telephone lines making it the third largest network in the
world after China and USA.
y
Indian telecom industry has the highest growth rate of 45% in the world.
y
Indiaµs mobile phone subscriber base is growing at a rate of 82.2%.
y
There is a need for study the perception of retailer towards the Micromax mobile handset
company.
6. As Micromax is the recently launched upcoming company in the mobile handset industry. So to
study about how they are making sustainable environment for survival in this cut throat
competition and enhance the opportunity.
Perception can be defined on a process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory
impression in order to give meaning to their environment. However, what one perceives can be
substantially different from objective reality. It need not be, but there is often disagreement.
Retailer perception is very important because they are the individuals who have direct interaction
with the ultimate consumer; they act as a link between the company and consumer. So, if the
company tries to understand what are the expectations of retailers and meet that and satisfy then
there is wider opportunity to increase the market.
AimAim of the study is to analyse the gap and suggest strategy to retailers, for marketing Micromax
mobile handsets.
