4. SIGNATURE OF THE
STUDENT
OBJECTIVE OF THE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING :
The Main Objective of Industrial Training was to get an
Industrial Interface, because it becomes very necessary to get
an overview of working in an Industry. It is very helpful to the
Students who want to be a part of the Industry after the MBA.
A major aspect of career counseling and guidance is
knowledge of the world of work. Ignorance of the many ways in
which people earn a living has been a great deterrent to freedom
of occupational choice.
The value of work experience in education has long been
recognized and is now emphasized in the counseling of youth.
Industrial Training is not only to train the Students in a particular
field but also to teach them the value of working environment.

OUR LEARNING
. After the close analysis of the above data the Asia
largest private telecommunication company Airtel Ltd.
my own learning
I got a chance to get training in such a large amount of
learning in this telecom industry with the interesting topic; I could
apply this absorbed knowledge while opening new outlets in
those areas where gapes were. As have been mentioned all
details of new outlets in the list; are covered that areas which
had lack of full information’s regarding the services. These new
customers have taken interest by accepting the proper solutions
of problems came from customers.
They were also told about the welfare schemes prepared for
their continuous transaction of service which are as followings:-
27. • The retailer will be informed about the new product
launching as fast as possible.
• The retailer will be in a regular contact of FOS of that
area.
• The retailer will be provided some attractive POP to inform
and attract the customer.
• The retailer can contact the FOS any time.
PREFACE
28. As a management student, it is very important to get
acquainted with the practical knowledge of related field.
In same way I have completed my summer training in
“airtel” gwalior, which has largest market share of
private telecom service providers.
If we want to get the real knowledge of marketing
activities, the tricks to introduction of product, position of
the product and services to face the competitions,
telecom industry is unique example for it. Beside all
these things customer satisfaction is essential in each
and every service sector.
Telecom industry uses all the marketing mix
activities and in this way marketing force of the company
plays a vital role of existence of the company.
