My Company Profile

1. Company Overview

2. Industry and Opportunity
Indian telecom industry relatively unaffected by recession; expected to grow to $50
billion by 2012 from $31 billion in 2009 (TRAI); total telecom subscriber base Longer Term: Continuing
expected to reach 717 million by 2013 (Gartner Research) Opportunities
Large number of new telecom operators; significant growth in rural telephony.
LTE Networks Deployment
Number portability will create additional opportunities for network optimization
3G, WiMAX and LTE rollouts expected to create significant opportunities for WiMax Networks Deployment
network services companies
3 G Deployment
Industry and Opportunity
Globally, telecom markets can broadly be categorized into mature markets (US,
Europe), growth markets (Middle East, East Asia) and upcoming markets (Africa). Expansion of Rural telephony;
entry of new 2 G licensees
Opportunities exist in all these markets including mature markets where India’s low
2009 2012 2015
cost base can be leveraged to provide high-end services remotely
Indian Industry forecasts 1.5L additional employment opportunities in next 12
months. Resourcing of skilled manpower is one of the largest challenges confronting
the industry
No education provider delivers courses covering the entire spectrum of Telecom
deployment, Operations, Sales and Management. Moreover, a small set of
programs offered today are mostly theoretical.
Limited effort by Industry players to Cross-skill or Up-skill their employees
The primary method of education delivery is through training departments of
existing Telecom companies – Operators, OEMS and Service providers
Current independent education providers are small to mid size training companies
which deliver class-room courses and tie up with existing service providers for field
exposure. Not an optimum model.
Global education providers in mature markets providing class-room and distance
learning options for higher end courses
