Reliance Communications – The RoadMap

Reliance Communications LtdAnil 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.
