Opportunities and Challenges

Opportunities:

Entry into GSM: During the year, Reliance reached a historic landmarkwhen it obtained permission as well as spectrum to launch GSM services in 14 telecom circles. Reliance is making preparations to roll out network and will launch GSM services in a phased manner by the end of this calendar year.

Offer Dual Technology: The Pan-India UAS License places them in the unique position of being able to offer the subscribers the unique and special benefits of dual technology. For example, while CDMA technology will give consumers the benefits of data and VAS, GSM will enable Reliance subscribers to access wider range of handsets and functional features, including roaming.

Enhance CDMA mobility: While offering dualtechnology, Reliance will also benefit from the massive network execution already completed in CDMA during 2007-2008. This will enable the Company to offer highly attractive tariffs and products, leveraging the available capacity.

HR Opportunities - Employer Brand: The events of the last year (permission to offer GSM services under UASL, network expansion, enhanced brand visibility) have made the Company highly sought after as an employer. This employer brand appeal has been further enhanced by implementation of HR practices such as ESOPs and flexible worktimings besides core working hours. The Company is, therefore, in a strong position to attract best talent in India and abroad.

Association with Bollywood and Cricket thereby attracting youth: The association with ICC and other Cricket tournaments, and also with leading Bollywood events have made the Company and its brand much sought after by the youth segment. This will enable the Companyto increase its business in this highly profitable and growing market segment.

ADC removal and Mobile Number Portability (MNP): The removal of ADC will provide an extra fund to pool to increase rural volumes and penetration in a focused manner. The Company has already voluntarily taken aggressive steps to provide substantial discounts on acquisition of rural subscribers, in line with the suggestion made byTRAI while notifying removal of ADC. Similarly, introduction of MNP, which is slated to be introduced in first half of 2009, will provide the Company with a unique opportunity of attracting subscribers from other operators on to its own dual technology platform.

Challenges

Entry of many new competitors:

The year 2008 - 09 will witness the entry of several new players in the mobile industry. It is also possible that some of the players who have acquired license recently will enter into tie-ups with leading international service providers. These events will intensify competition and may lead to pressure on tariff. The Company is uniquely positioned to meet the situation with its superior and world class network roll-out and expansion plans.

Entry of Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) / Brand franchisees: It is possible that the Government may progressively relax MVNO norms, and more players may access to Indian markets through this route. These operators may put pressure on tariffs.

Risks and concerns

1. Some of the licences are subject to regulatory compliance and Terms and conditions.

The rules and regulations, issued by the government and regulatory authorities, having jurisdiction over the Company's operations and licenses, schedules and obligations require it to meet specified conditions, network build-out requirements. However, the Company does not perceive any default on this account.

2. Rapid technological changes may increase competition and render the Company's technologies, products or services obsolete.

The telecommunication services industry is characterised by rapid technological change and significant capital requirements. However, the Company is constantly assessing such changes in the technologies and taking immediate action whenever necessitated.

3. The Company may be adversely affected by changes in tariff structures for services.

The Company is subject to regulations on its tariff structures. There is no assurance that the Company's business, financial condition and result of operations will not be materially affected by any government mandated or other tarrif adjustments in future.

4. The Company faces significant and intense competition in its markets, which could result in decreases in current and potential customers, revenues and profitability.

The Company faces significant competition in its markets. In particular, competition is expected to intensify amongst providers of mobile telecommunication services, and this will continue to drive prices for services and handsets lower.

Profile:

The Late Dhirubhai Ambani dreamt of a digital India — an India where the common man would have access to affordable means of information and communication. Dhirubhai, who single-handedly built India’s largest private sector company virtually from scratch, had stated as early as 1999: “Make the tools of information and communication available to people at an affordable cost. They will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility.”

It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Infocomm) started laying 60,000 route kilometres of a pan-India fibre optic backbone. This backbone was commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of Dhirubhai’s 70th birthday, though sadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002.

Reliance Communications has a reliable, high-capacity, integrated (both wireless and wireline) and convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. It is capable of delivering a range of services spanning the entire infocomm (information and communication) value chain, including infrastructure and services — for enterprises as well as individuals, applications, and consulting.

Today, Reliance Communications is revolutionising the way India communicates and networks, truly bringing about a new way of life.

The Founder:

About Sh. Dhirubhai Ambani

Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their country’s economic fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still have left behind a legacy that is more enduring and timeless.

As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the true genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the proud patriot, the leader of men, the architect of India’s capital markets, the champion of shareholder interest.

But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of India’s greatest wealth creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, India’s largest private sector enterprise.

When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of barely US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted this fledgling enterprise into a Rs 600000.000 Millions colossus—an achievement which earned Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to do so.

Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of India’s capital markets. In 1977, when Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a place patronised by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of stocks.

Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-time retail investors to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard-earned money in the Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their trust, substantial return on their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of mutual respect and reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.

Under Dhirubhai’s extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of the greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to become India’s largest private sector enterprise.

Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the world’s largest shareholder families.

Business:

India ’s leading integrated telecom company

Reliance Communications is the flagship company of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) of companies. Listed on the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange, it is India’s leading integrated telecommunication company with over 57 million customers.

Our business encompasses a complete range of telecom services covering mobile and fixed line telephony. It includes broadband, national and international long distance services and data services along with an exhaustive range of value-added services and applications. Our constant endeavour is to achieve customer delight by enhancing the productivity of the enterprises and individuals they serve.

Reliance Mobile (formerly Reliance India Mobile), launched on 28 December 2002, coinciding with the joyous occasion of the late Dhirubhai Ambani’s 70th birthday, was among the initial initiatives of Reliance Communications. It marked the auspicious beginning of Dhirubhai’s dream of ushering in a digital revolution in India. Today, they can proudly claim that they were instrumental in harnessing the true power of information and communication, by bestowing it in the hands of the common man at affordable rates.

They endeavour to further extend the efforts beyond the traditional value chain by developing and deploying complete telecom solutions for the entire spectrum of society.

Organizations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth on the support and goodwill of the communities of which they are an integral part, and must pay back this generosity in every way they can

This ethical standpoint, derived from the vision of the founder, lies at the heart of the CSR philosophy of the Reliance – ADA Group.

While they strongly believe that the primary obligation or duty as corporate entities is to the shareholders – they are just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist in isolation; it is part of a much larger compact which they have with the entire body of stakeholders: From employees, customers and vendors to business partners, eco-system, local communities, and society at large.

They evaluate and assess each critical business decision or choice from the point of view of diverse stakeholder interest, driven by the need to minimize risk and to pro-actively address long-term social, economic and environmental costs and concerns.

For them, being socially responsible is not an occasional act of charity or that one-time token financial contribution to the local school, hospital or environmental NGO. It is an ongoing year-round commitment, which is integrated into the very core of the business objectives and strategy.

Because they believe that there is no contradiction between doing well and doing right. Indeed, doing right is a necessary condition for doing well.
