Anil Ambani managed Reliance Communications has bounced back and not only aims to be the leader in Indian market but also globally. Here is an insight into the business of Reliance Communications Ltd.
Post split of the Reliance empire built by the controversial Polyester Prince, Dhirubhai Ambnai, Reliance Communications Ltd [RCom] was bleeding heavily. Within 3 quarters the entire story has changed. JM Morgan Stanley and Macquaire Research Equities India are betting big on the fortunes of RCom.
RCom is now organized into 3 business verticals – Wireless, Global and Broadband.
RCom Wireless: S P Shukla heads this division and manages wireless operations of both Reliance Telecom [GSM] and Reliance Infocomm [CDMA]. This division is currently the hottest and major source of revenue for RCom. Has 3G rollout plan in place. Competes head on with Bharti Airtel Ltd.
RCom Global: Global bandwidth operations including that of Flag Telecom are managed by this business division. RCom had also bid for telecom licenses in Kenya and Sri Lanka but has been unsuccessful till now. However, sooner or later, RCom will start rolling out its services outside India just like Bharti Airtel in Channel Islands. This business segment competes with VSNL.
RCom Broadband: Headed by Prakash Bajpai. Though Reliance broadband for consumers is still few quarters away, Reliance is pampering business customers and retail consumers in business discticts. Reliance Web World, Reliance World Video Conference and Reliance Telephone are run by this division. Reliance IPTV if comissioned will be through this division. My insiders in Mumbai tipped me that Petit Hall residence of Meswani brothers were fully wired and had IPTV trials when RCom was still a part of RIL. Not sure if Anil has unwired them. Reliance may go for IPTV or DishTV or both ?
On the financials front RCom is expected to report a net profit of $500 million for FY ending in March-07. I can’t upload the various research reports I have on RCom but drop me a line if you need one.

Is Reliance BroadBand dependable. Order was taken from me on 16th June, 2007 with a cheque of Rs.500 as Installation cahrges. Local staff does not respond. I have been calling them and also written as below. Money as also not been returned.

Mr. Ghatge,
On 18th June, 2007 I placed order for Broadband. Manjunath of Reliance Communication, cell:9370122438, took a cheque No 724986, ICICI Bank for Rs.500 as Installation charges. He checked up with the office and told me that the Broadband will be installed within 10 days.
I have been constantly chasing Reliance, but no one has informed me about the status. I was given number of the manager Imran, 020-30331766, responsible for Installation. Last week I called Imran, first Imran told me that the society has not given permission, when I told Imran that I have independent Bungalow so there is no question of Society permission, then he got Manjunath and a few people on the conference call and did some shouting to Manjunath. After some time Imran told me that he will call me back to update on Status.
I am still awaiting. If Broadband was not feasible order should not have been taken. Even if later some problem was found, I should have been given status. It seems service of Reliance is very bad, as who so ever I talked informed me why did I go for Reliance.
Can I expect my money back with Interest and nuisance charges for chasing Reliance or immediate connection.
Thanks,
M.M.Handa
