with us and build a lasting

relationship with you by delivering better results

every time. And this, reflects in our mission as

well.

The company’s mission is to Hunger to win

of our customers. Our obsession is to win

customers for life through an exceptional

experience.

The company aims at work towards the vision,

driven by our values of AIR - Alive, Inclusive &

Company Leadership

The board of directors of the company has an

good mix of executive and non-executive

directors. Sunil Bharti Mittal is the Founder and

Chairman of Bharti Enterprises.

A recipient of several awards including Padma

Bhushan, believes that a responsible corporate

has a duty to give back to the community in

which it operates. This belief has resulted in the

Bharti Foundation, which operates 254 schools

as well as remedial centers and renders quality

support to government schools, providing

holistic education to over 50,000 under-

privileged children in rural India. Sunil was

ranked among the Top 25 Philanthropists in the

World in 2009 by the Barron’s Magazine

“Growing markets is not for the weak-hearted: infrastructure issues are there. The middle class is absent in most of the countries. We have to cater to the low end of the market to grow”

Positioning over the years High tariff rates were charged by the

government in the 1990s as a result of

which the cellular players has little choice

but to impose high call charges on

customers. He call charges were as high as

Rs 16 per minute as against Rs 1.20 for

landline communication at that point of

time.

India being a high potential and growth

market, several key competitors entered the

segment which increased competition. Due

to such factors, Airtel repositioned itself to

increase its market share. They chose to

address the visual benefits delivered to the

customers in addition to value. They came

out with a series of imaging campaigns

including ‘Airtel Express Yourself’ during this

time. This was followed by the incorporation

of the new “Express yourself” tagline with a

new logo to give it a more energetic look.

Advertisements in regional languages

followed to connect better and

advertisements were made to highlight

Airtel’s superior network. Through their

consistent exercises, they segmented both

Upper middle class as well as Lower middle

class.

College going students and youth were

targeted through campaigns including

offering SIM cards free of cost outside

colleges.

It again repositioned itself through a

branding exercise in 2010 with the release of

its new logo along with a new brand

architecture. This upgrade by the company

was with a reason to stay fresh before its

customers. Wide spread campaign followed

and the new strategy was to appeal masses

since it was introducing new services of 3g,

video calling, video downloading and Airtel

money.

WHAT DOES AIRTEL OFFER?

With Airtel, the subscriber wouldn't just get

a personal phone that lets him/her be in

touch, always, but also gets a host of

benefits that let him/her manage his/her

time like never before.

An Airtel subscriber is provided with a

Subscriber Identity Module Card (SIM card) -

that is the key to operating his/her cellular

phone. His card activates Airtel cellular

services and contains a complete micro-

computer chip with memory to enable one

to enjoy one's cellular phone thoroughly.

Each SIM card contains a PIN code (Personal

Identity Number) which may be entered by

one. Just plug your SIM card into your

cellular phone, enter the PIN code and it

becomes 'your' personal phone'.

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

The pattern of cellophane subscriber growth

observed elsewhere in the world reveals

that the growth in the market is initially slow

followed by a sharp acceleration, but so far

that has not happened in India. As far as the

Product Life Cycle is concerned. Indians are

at the beginning of the maturity stage.

Basically, the company is tasked with

the work of operating

telecommunication services in the

larger Indian subcontinent. The

company’s business services include

BRAND PROFILE

mobile services, enterprise services

and Telemedia services. The mobile

services comprise of fixed wireless

services and mobile services which

use GSM network technology across

major telecommunication circles in

the country.

With a Pan-India presence, Airtel an

established player in providing 3G

services is now planning aggressively

to roll out its 4G services in a phased

manner. These services are now

available in metros and big cities like

Bangalore and Mumbai. The company

also provides world class landline

telephone and broadband services

and the enterprise unit across 95

cities in India. Some of Bharti Airtel

competitors include the following:

Idea

Tata Docomo.

Reliance Communications Limited

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.

Vodafone (strongest competitor)

Products in the marketing mix

Place in the marketing mix of

Airtel

Airtel’s penetration in India is quite

impressive because the services and

networks can be found even in India’s

remotest regions. Currently, gross

subscriber base has pass the 200

million mark while the total wireless

subscriber base for CDMA, GSM and

WLL is about 162 million. Clearly, the

customer base of Airtel is strong in

India. It is also worth mentioning that

millions of the network’s lines are

added per year.

Airtel enjoys a well distributed

network of distributors including

even businesses like groceries and

chemist outlets. One of the things that

have made Bharti Airtel a force to

reckon in telecommunication

industry in India and Africa is that it

has the strategy of making the first

moves and emerging as a winner. It

has managed to buy Kuwait’s Zain

and Tata steel in the past, making it a

top 5 wireless carrier in the world by

subscription.

Wider distribution network as

compared to competitors

Network is widespread bringing many

customers daily to Airtel

Fourth largest mobile operator in the

world with presence in 20 countries

Promotion in the Marketing mix

of Airtel

Airtel engages in aggressive

marketing strategy ranging from

traditional print media to social

network marketing. However, the

company’s recent rebranding efforts

bombed in the market and were not

received positively. The company also

engages in large scale TV and print

advertising. The company frequently

uses big celebrities who endorse the

BRAND PROFILE

PAGE NO. 17

services. The company also managed

to create its signature tune from Oscar

winning musician A.R.Rahman which

has become one of the most

downloaded tunes in India.

It is also interesting to note that even

such seemingly redundant activities

like providing wallpapers and

screensavers to computer users has

proved a very effective marketing

strategy. The company also offers

special discounts and offers to its

subscribers.

Apart from that Airtel has been hiring

several figures from Bollywood right

from the legendary Amitabh Bachhan

to Vidya Balan as their brand

ambassadors. The God of cricket,

Sachin Tendulkar too has been a part

of their advertisement campaigns too.

The advantage of Airtel is that I goes

regional with its advertisement

efforts.

Some salient points about the

promotions of Airtel are

Uses ATL(Above the line) and

BTL(bellow the line) activities

Makes an effort to go regional

Recent rebranding effort has failed in

the market

Has good word of mouth and a good

brand image.

Price in the marketing mix of

Airtel

The company uses competitive

pricing strategy just like any other

network providers because of the

competition which is present in this

sector. However, Airtel also provides

flexible pricing mechanism

depending on the prevailing market

conditions. For instance, when the

BRAND PROFILE

PAGE NO. 18

company relaxes taxation, it also

reduces its prices across all affected

products. The make my plan

introduced by Airtel was a smart

strategy as customers could now

modify their plan as they see fit.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The Indian economy has seen a significant

development in the last two decades. Several

hundred million people are benefiting from the

country's progress. Concurrently, India's

population too has risen to more than 1.2 billion,

placing an increasing burden on existing

resources. Access to basic services like

education, health, financial services, banking etc.

are often beyond the means of the common

person.

Airtel's sustainability journey endeavours to

contribute further to our society and to our

environment. It is our firm belief that not a single

man, woman or child should be denied access to

education, health and prosperity.

We believe in social inclusion of people

everywhere, and have made this the

cornerstone of our sustainability programme.

We leverage our network presence, reach and

accessibility, through mobile telephony, direct-

to-home television and broadband services, to

contribute towards a sustainable future, not just

for people everywhere but also for our planet

and economy. We are confident that we can be

a force of good, positive change, in society and

also augment the efforts of the government,

public-private groups, Bharti Foundation and

NGOs in the area of sustainability.

In 2011, we made a commitment to widen our

sustainability journey. It is with this commitment

towards sustainability, Airtel has been able to

maintain a balanced approach towards all three

dimensions of sustainability and quests to

progress on the path of sustainability in the years

to come.

Anchored deeply into its business strategy,

sustainability and corporate social

responsibility are fundamentals to Airtel's

business commitments and initiatives. For

Airtel, sustainability is about a responsible

BRAND PROFILE

PAGE NO. 19

business approach that creates long-term

stakeholder value by taking into consideration

every dimension of how business operates in

the social, cultural and economic environment.

Airtel strongly believes that its approach will

help create a long-term shared value for its

customers, employees, suppliers,

shareholders and the community.

Through its pioneering initiatives and

innovations, Airtel has continuously quested to

bring a transformational change by delivering

societal development and a positive

environmental footprint. Airtel's 'Blueprint for

Social Inclusion' is one of the instances,

which makes sure that millions of people with

no network access are included and

empowered with digi-presence.

Our goal: Millions more are

included and empowered

through sustainable social and

economic development

Governments from across the world have widely

acknowledged internet accessibility as an

imperative for long-term economic growth.

Apart from providing public services like e-

governance, health, education and

entertainment, the internet has opened up new

avenues for growth, helping economies become

and remain connected and highly competitive. A

large part of today's information is accessible on

the internet and in other electronic forms.

Digi–presence at Airtel means creating a

platform for digital accessibility of

telecommunication, internet and digital

television services. We are determined to take

the benefits of digi-presence beyond urban or

affluent areas to remote areas.

"No one left out" is a commonly heard call to

action at Airtel.

We believe that telecom connectivity is an

important medium to achieve social and

economic inclusion for all Indians. We are

committed to providing robust and dependable

telecom services to customers even in adverse

terrains and geographies. Airtel is the only

operator which provides coverage in a fully

underground mine in the Tehri hydro power

plant. We have connectivity at the highest

motorable road, at Khardung La pass, in Ladakh.

We also connect fishermen off the coast of

Kerala, and in the sparsely populated, dense

forests of the Sunderbans.

BRAND PROFILE

PAGE NO. 20

In order to strengthen our network resilience,

we use the Automatically Switched Optical

Network (ASON) technology. This ensures

service continuity even in the case of multiple

fibre ring failure. This is particularly essential for

Indian conditions, since road expansion is a

constant activity on our national highways and

intra-city roads.

The internet paradigm is changing, from dialup

to broadband, from kilobits to gigabits, and from

connected people to connected things. Our

networked world is changing in speed, size,

scale, and scope. Towards this goal, Airtel has a

sustained annual programme for the expansion

and improvement of our network in both urban

and rural areas. Our 2G network covers almost

all of urban and rural India with a capacity to

connect most of India's population through high

quality voice and data services.

In terms of everyday living, this means that from

Kashmir to Kerala and from Gujarat to Bengal,

people everywhere are increasingly able to

speak, connect, transact and grow. A migrant

labourer in Mumbai, for example, can speak to

his family in Bihar, access regional news and

channels, listen to Bhojpuri music, and send

money home to his friends and family, all

through the Airtel network. With a robust, go-to-

market strategy, backed by 1.3 million

distribution outlets nationally, and a strong

network, we ensure that affordable and

omnipresent services march hand in hand with

our network to benefit people.

mCommerce

While banking and financial services are

permeating across India, there is still a vast

population that is unbanked or under-banked.

India's subscriber base is fast approaching 900

million, with almost 300 million subscribers from

rural areas. Over 50% of these rural subscribers

do not have bank accounts. We believe that the

mobile industry which covers a significant mass

of India's population can utilise its existing

national coverage and infrastructure, and

collaborate with banks to play a significant role

BRAND PROFILE

PAGE NO. 21

in enabling financial inclusion as well as payment

services across India.

Payment services on mobile phones have seen a

huge transformation in recent times. The earlier

days offered basic information-based services

such as balance or transactions enquiry, funds

transfer and bill payments. These services

offered immense convenience and flexibility to

customers who could avail these facilities

"Anywhere and Anytime". Today, a mobile

wallet has the potential to cause large scale

digitisation and/ or virtualisation of cash

transactions. Ubiquitous mobile connectivity,

wide distribution network, large scale customer

service infrastructure and robust micro

transaction processing are some of the key

capabilities that Airtel has built over the years.

We are leveraging these capabilities to create a

state-of-the-art payments infrastructure across

the country.

Airtel is one of the first telecom operators in

India to get a licence from RBI to build mobile

payment services. Airtel Money, a product of

Airtel mCommerce Services Ltd (AMSL), is

building a railroad that could transform the

existing payments landscape. Today the benefits

of Airtel Money include utility bill payments for

electricity, water and cooking gas bills,

remittance for medical and education services,

payment of citizen services, convenient

shopping at local kirana (grocery) stores - all of

these without carrying a card or cash or having

the constant worry of losing either.

There is a profound interdependence

between the corporates and communities.

An organisation does not exist in isolation,

detached from the people and communities

it lives in. Both give and take from each

other, and this intertwined relationship

builds and grows over time to be increasingly

beneficial and rewarding.

As a corporate, we make our presence felt in

the communities we serve and also where

our employees live and work. We are

BRAND PROFILE

PAGE NO. 22

focused on creating a sustained, positive and

deep-rooted impact on the society at large.

Our philanthropic efforts, employee

volunteerism, and community outreach

initiatives support the desire to be seen as a

trusted partner - one that honours its

commitments and takes pride in the role it

plays in community wellness.

Inequality and discrimination in education of

children with diverse backgrounds and

abilities remains one of the major challenges

in India. We are convinced that holistic well-

rounded development will go a long way in

developing children as the leaders of

tomorrow. With the aim of helping them

actualise their true potential and become

productive members of society, we

concentrated most of our employee

volunteerism and philanthropic efforts

towards our contributions to Satya Bharti

schools . Launched in 2006, the Satya Bharti

School Programme initiated by Bharti

Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Bharti

Enterprises, is one of the largest end-to-end

rural education initiatives undertaken by a

corporate in India.

This programme supports the pursuit of

excellence and aims to set benchmarks for

quality education across the country. The

programme provides free, quality education

to underprivileged children, with a special

focus on the girl child, in the deepest rural

pockets of the country.
