4-Conclusion
1-Introduction
Reliance Communications was founded in India on 31 July 2002 as
Reliance Limited with the introduction of its
Nationwide  CDMA200  service. It became Reliance Communications Limited in
2006. The company introduced its GSM service in 2008. It began
using MIMO technology in 2011 to improve the quality of its 3G service,
providing a data rate of up to 28 Mbit/s.
In the 2010 Spectrum auction, Reliance obtained licenses for 3G spectrum in three
cities at a total licensing fee of58,642.9 million. The company reduced the price of
its 3G service by 61 percent in May 2012.
Reliance and Lenovo introduced their co-branded Android Smartphone’s in India
in 2013.
The company ended its CDMA operations in 2016, and migrated its subscribers to
its GSM and LTE networks by September the same year.
In February 2019, the company filed for bankruptcy as it was unable to sell assets
to repay its debt. It has an estimated debt of 50,000crore against assets
worth 18,000crore.

2-Research Problemidentified and explanation

The research problem that we have identified during the course of our research is
that in 2015-2017 there were number of existing competitors such as AIRTEL,
VODAFONE, and IDEA CELLULAR. R. Communication faced decline in
number of subscribers when we compare the subscribers of reliance
communication they have reduced from 80million to 38million. The average
revenue per user was decreasing and came down to Rs.141against airtel Rs. 158 in
March 2017.

3-Research Objective
  The research objective is to find why the company was bankrupted as on
2019.
 Why the consumers were not satisfied and subscribers were decreasing

4-Why this problem was chosen

This problem was chosen because:

1. Lack of consumer satisfaction- Consumers were not satisfied with the

services that were provided by reliance communication because of low
quality services and perceived value.
2. Rush for 4G services provided by JIO- It entered in market in 2016, and
provided 4G data services and had 128 million subscribers in 2016 and it led
to the reduction in number of subscribers.
3. Improper decision by top and middle level management- The decisions
taken by the company related to investment acted as non-profitable business,
for example, merger with Ericsson was non-profitable, and led to the
company in position of debt.
