PREFACE
Now a days organization are more sophisticated & discriminated towards making
investments in workforce services as well as wealth creation. Organization Development is
usually facilitated by change and effort of HRM. Most of the companies are recruiting
experts to develop their human resource effectively in order to align the company’s objective
with individual’s objective. Investors and top managers are frequently involved throughout
the development process and perform contrasting roles that serve as checks and balances on
one another. In no cases were significant innovation development problems solved without
intervention by top managers or investors.
The Reliance Group founded by Dhirubhai H. Ambani (1932-2002) is India's largest business
house with total revenues of over Rs 99,000 crore (US$ 22.6 billion), cash profit of Rs 12,500
crore (US$ 2.8 billion), net profit of Rs 6,200 crore (US$ 1.4 billion) and exports of Rs
15,900 crore (US$ 3.6 billion).
The Group's activities span exploration and production (E&P) of oil and gas, refining and
marketing, petrochemicals (polyester, polymers, and intermediates), textiles, financial
services and insurance, power, telecom and Infocomm initiatives.
Reliance Communicationis the outcome of the late visionary DhirubhaiAmbani's (1932-2002)
dream to herald a digital revolution in India by bringing affordable means of information and
communication to the doorsteps of India's vast population.
"Make the tools of commnication available to people at an affordable cost, they will
overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility", DhirubhaiAmbani charted out the
mission for Reliance Communication in late 1999. He saw in the potential of information and
communication technology a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for India to leapfrog over its
historical legacy of backwardness and underdevelopment.
Working at breakneck speed, from late 1999 to 2002 Reliance Communication built the
backbone for a digital India - 60,000 kilometers of fibre optic backbone, crisscrossing the
entire country. The Reliance Communication pan-India network was commissioned on
December 28, 2002, the 70th - birth anniversary of Dhirubhai. This day also marked his first
birth anniversary after his demise July - 6, 2002.

RELIANCE COMMUNICATION
INTRODUCTION
The Late DhirubhaiAmbani dreamt of a digital India - an India where the common man
would have access to affordable means of information and communication. Dhirubhai, who
single-handedly built India's largest private sector company virtually from scratch, had stated
as early as 1999: "Make the tools of information and communication available to people at an
affordable cost. They will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility."
It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Infocomm)
started laying 60,000 route kilometres of a pan-India fibre optic backbone. This backbone
was commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of Dhirubhai's 70th
birthday, though sadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002.
6
Reliance Communications has a reliable, high-capacity, integrated (both wireless and
wireline) and convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. It is capable of delivering a
range of services spanning the entire infocomm (information and communication) value
chain, including infrastructure and services - for enterprises as well as individuals,
applications, and consulting.
Dhirubhai preached — and personally practised — one mantra throughout his life: Dream
with conviction.
He built the Reliance empire from scratch and, in a short span of 25 years, it catapulted to
become one of the top Fortune 500 corporations of the world — an achievement unparalleled
in history.
7
He was deeply rooted in traditional Indian values, and at the same time, Dhirubhai possessed
a very modern outlook - truly that of a 21st century person. His corporate philosophy was
short, simple and incredibly effective: “Think big. Think different. Think fast. Think ahead.
Aim for the best.” This was clearly reflected in his passion for mega-sized projects, as well as
his fascination for cutting-edge technology and desire to always achieve the highest possible
productivity. At Reliance, Dhirubhai was a pillar of inspiration for one and all. By practicing
what he preached, he inspired and encouraged everyone to surpass the best in the world.
Dhirubhai fully realised that true empowerment of the people is possible only through
education. Being an effective communicator, he continued to inspire, guide, educate and
motivate everyone through his communications. He was a firm believer in the power of
information and communication, and how it can be utilised and turned to the advantage of
one and all, by making time and distance irrelevant.
He would always say that if a telephone call could be made cheaper than a postcard, it would
transform every home, empower every Indian, remove every obstacle to opportunity and
growth, and tear apart every barrier that divides Indian society. He was convinced that
infocom could energise enterprises, drive governance, and render learning an interesting
experience, apart from making life exciting.

INDIA 'S LEADING INTEGRATED TELECOM COMPANY
Our business encompasses a complete range of telecom services covering mobile and fixed
line telephony. It includes broadband, national and international long distance services and
data services along with an exhaustive range of value-added services and applications. Our
constant endeavour is to achieve customer delight by enhancing the productivity of the
enterprises and individuals we serve.
9
Reliance Mobile (formerly Reliance India Mobile), launched on 28 December 2002,
coinciding with the joyous occasion of the late DhirubhaiAmbani's 70th birthday, was among
the initial initiatives of Reliance Communications. It marked the auspicious beginning of
Dhirubhai's dream of ushering in a digital revolution in India. Today, we can proudly claim
that we were instrumental in harnessing the true power of information and communication,
by bestowing it in the hands of the common man at affordable rates.
We endeavour to further extend our efforts beyond the traditional value chain by developing
and deploying complete telecom solutions for the entire spectrum of society.
Reliance Group, an offshoot of the Group founded by Shri Dhirubhai H Ambani (1932-
2002), ranks among India's top private sector business houses in terms of net worth. The
group has business interests that range from telecommunications (Reliance Communications
Limited) to financial services (Reliance Capital Ltd) and the generation and distribution of
power (Reliance Power Limited and Reliance Infrastructure Limited).
Reliance Group's flagship company, Reliance Communications is India's foremost and truly
integrated telecommunications service provider. The Company has a customer base of above
118 million including over 2.6 million individual overseas retail customers. Reliance
Communications corporate clientele includes over 39,000 Indian and multinational
corporations including small and medium enterprises and over 290 global, regional and
domestic carriers.
10
Other major group companies - Reliance Power, Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Capital
- are widely acknowledged as the market leaders in their respective areas of operation.
Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their country's economic
fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still have left behind
a legacy that is more enduring and timeless.
As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the true genius of
Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the proud patriot, the leader of
men, the architect of India's capital markets, the champion of shareholder interest.
But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of India's greatest wealth creator. In
one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, India's largest private sector
enterprise.
When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of barely US$
300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted this fledgling
11
enterprise into aRs 60,000 crore colossus-an achievement which earned Reliance a place on
the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to do so.
Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of India's capital markets. In 1977, when Reliance
Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a place patronised
by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of stocks.
Under Dhirubhai's extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of the greatest
growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to become India's
largest private sector enterprise.
Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary
shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the initial
investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the world's largest shareholder families.
The second son of a school teacher, Dhirubhai was born in 1932 in the village of Chorwad
inGujarat in circumstances that can best be described as modest. Driven by hardship and
want, hehad to drop out of school early.
In 1949, at the age of 17, he went to Aden (now Yemen) in search of opportunity, and
worked asa dispatch clerk for A. Besse& Co. A couple of years later, the company became a
distributor forShell products and Dhirubhai was promoted to manage the company’s oil-
filling station at the portof Aden. It was here that he dreamed of setting up and owning a
refinery, which he later realisedwith his petrochemicals venture.
He returned to India in 1958 to launch his first business venture, a spice trading company
namedReliance Commercial Corporation.
12
In 1962, Dhirubhai identified an emerging opportunity in yarn trading and shifted to the
newbusiness. Three years later, he changed the name of his company to Reliance Textile
IndustriesLimited.
In 1966, he purchased land in Naroda, Gujarat, to set up a textile mill. In 1975, a technical
teamfrom the World Bank recognised the Naroda mill as one of the best composite textile
mills in Indiaand certified it as ‘excellent even by developed country standards’.
In the event, The Reliance IPO was an unlikely success. Against all odds, Dhirubhai managed
toconvince a sufficiently large number of sceptical middle class investors to put their money,
andfaith, in what was then a small, relatively unknown company.
The subsequent growth and success of Reliance and its philosophy of generously
rewardingshareholders rapidly gave Dhirubhai an iconic status in the Indian financial
markets.
Under Dhirubhai’s charismatic leadership, the Annual General Meetings (AGM) of Reliance
tookon the character of large public spectacles. Typically held in large public arenas, and
attended bythousands of adoring shareholders, the Reliance AGM became a day to remember
in the annualcorporate calendar of India. In 1986, the Reliance AGM held in Cross Maidan,
Mumbai, was
attended by as many as 30,000 stockholders—a record in India’s corporate history.
13
By the mid-80s, Dhirubhai had become something of a living legend, widely hailed by peers
andcritics alike as one of the greatest corporate visionaries in the history of post-Independent
India.
But Dhirubhai was never one to rest on his laurels. In the early 80s, he had taken the
firstimportant step in strategic backward integration for Reliance with the commissioning of
thePatalganga plant which initially manufactured polyester filament yarn and polyester staple
fibre.
In 1991, he set up Reliance Hazira, for the manufacture of petrochemicals—the next link in
thebackward integration chain. At the time, Reliance Hazira represented the single
largestinvestment made by a private sector group in India at a single location.
The refinery was not only commissioned ahead of schedule, but also set up at a cost that
wassignificantly lower than the prevailing global benchmark for a project of such magnitude.
It was one of Dhirubhai’s great dreams in life to see ordinary Indians enjoy the
enormouseconomic benefits of being able to access affordable yet world class
telecommunicationsinfrastructure. He wanted Reliance to spearhead a communications
revolution that woulddramatically cut down the cost of connectivity, and propel India into the
digital age. His ultimateambition: To make the cost of a phone call cheaper than that of a post
card. It was therefore
entirely logical for Reliance to enter the telecommunications space when the sector was
openedup for private participation in the 1990s.
14
Today, Reliance Communications is India’s largest information and communications
servicesprovider with over 20 million subscribers, and offers the full range of integrated
telecomservices—at prices that are, by far, the lowest anywhere in the world.

VISION
"We will leverage our strengths to execute complex global-scale projects to facilitate leading-
edge information and communication services affordable to all individual consumers and
businesses in India.
We will offer unparalleled value to create customer delight and enhance business
productivity.
We will also generate value for our capabilities beyond Indian borders and enable millions of
India's knowledge workers to deliver their services globally."
Reliance Communications is now among the three most valuable private sector companies in
India, and the five most valuable telecom companies in Asia. In the current
Fiscal, Reliance Communications will spend Rs 16,000 crore to further expand and
strengthen its network coverage across India and the rest of the world.
24
Opportunities available in the telecommunications sector. "We are currently evaluating a
number of inorganic opportunities in select international markets to further expand our
footprint," Ambani said.
Reliance Communication's One India, One Tariff plan allowed millions to connect across
India at just one rupee a minute. The company was the first one to break the Rs 1,000 entry-
barrier with the launch of the lowest-cost classic brand handset at Rs 777.
As per its expansion plan, Reliance Communications will have the single largest wireless
network in the world, covering over 900 mn Indians or more than 15% of the global
population. It will cover 23,000 towns or every single Indian habitation with a population of
over 1,000. Reliance Communications will cover almost 100% of all rail routes, providing
seamless voice, video, radio, and Internet connectivity to 14 mn commuters every day. It will
also cover almost 100% of all national highways, and 84% of all state highways, giving
millions of users the power to talk, text, surf, play, chat or simply stay in touch across nearly
the entire length of India's 2,00,000-km-long road network.
Having achieved tremendous growth, the main challenge for Reliance Communications is to
improve quality of service and ARPU. Its enterprise business is also not in a position to
compete with the global majors. Stock market valuations may boost the fortunes of an
entrepreneur, but Ambani needs to address the issues faced by the growing mobile customer
base, especially in India, where bureaucracy takes pride in checking the businessman.
25
To work with vigour, dedication and innovation to achieve excellence in service,
quality, reliability, safety and customer care as the ultimate goal.
To earn the trust and confidence of all stakeholders, exceeding their expectations and
make the Company a respected household name.
To be a responsible corporate citizen nurturing human values and concern for Society,
the environment and above all, the people.
To promote a work culture that fosters individual growth, team spirit and creativity to
overcome challenges and attain goals.
To uphold the guiding principles of trust, integrity and transparency in all aspects of
interactions and dealings
26
CORPORATE PROFILE
Organizations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth on the
support and goodwill of the communities of which they are an integral part, and must pay
back this generosity in every way they can... This ethical standpoint, derived from the vision
of our founder, lies at the heart of the CSR philosophy of the Reliance - ADA Group.
While we strongly believe that our primary obligation or duty as corporate entities is to our
shareholders - we are just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist in
isolation; it is part of a much larger compact which we have with our entire body of
stakeholders: From employees, customers and vendors to business partners, eco-system, local
communities, and society at large.
We evaluate and assess each critical business decision or choice from the point of view of
diverse stakeholder interest, driven by the need to minimize risk and to pro-actively address
long-term social, economic and environmental costs and concerns.
For us, being socially responsible is not an occasional act of charity or that one-time token
financial contribution to the local school, hospital or environmental NGO. It is an ongoing
year-round commitment, which is integrated into the very core of our business objectives and
strategy.
Because we believe that there is no contradiction between doing well and doing right. Indeed,
doing right is a necessary condition for doing well.

1. Values and Commitments
2. Code of Ethics
3. Business Policies
4. Ethics Management
Introduction
Every significant management decision has ethical value dimensions. Managing ethics is
particularly relevant for RADAG Companies today because it is critical to understand and
manage highly diverse values in the workplace. Attention to business ethics is critical during
times of fundamental change - times much like those faced now by businesses like ours. In
times of such fundamental change, values that were previously taken for granted are now
strongly questioned. Many of these values are no longer followed. Consequently, there is no
clear compass to guide us through complex dilemmas about what is right or wrong. To that
end, RADAG Companies' Values and Commitments are presented here. These should be
used to guide our actions in business conduct.
Background
At RADAG Companies, the issue of ethics is simple: it is a simple process that involves
defining what is right or wrong, and then doing the right thing. Ethics Management at
RADAG Companies is about values and associated behaviors. It is a process of defining
values and ensuring that corporate and individual employee behaviors epitomize those values.
34
We at RADAG Companies believe that any business conduct can be ethical only when it
rests on the nine core values of Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Fairness, Purposefulness, Trust,
Responsibility, Citizenship and Caring. Strong commitments to these high values have long
been building principles for RADAG Companies. These values are not to be lost sight of by
anyone at RADAG Companies under any circumstances irrespective of the goals that are
intended to be achieved. To us, means are as important as the ends. Though the deeper
significance of these values for us can not be captured in words, a brief description of what
we really feel about these virtues is outlined below:
Honesty
We are committed to be truthful in all our actions. We strive to be honest and forthright with
one another and with all our stakeholders.
Integrity
RADAG Companies insists on honesty, integrity and fairness in all aspects of its business
and expects the same in its relationships with all those with it does business. There exists a
clear vision and picture of integrity throughout RADAG Companies. Our reward and
promotion systems are aligned with this vision of integrity. Upholding the RADAG
Companies reputation is paramount. We are judged by how we act. Our reputation will be
upheld if we act with integrity in all our dealings, even at a personal level, and we always do
what we think is right at all times. We say what we mean, and deliver what we promise, and
promise to stand for what is right. We always honour all our commitments. We stand for
loyalty and trustworthiness.
Respect
We are committed to treat everyone fairly and with respect and dignity. We appreciate and
value the skills, strengths, and perspectives of our diverse workforce. We request the
uniqueness of each employee. We believe that each employee makes a meaningful
contribution in RADAG Companies' success.
35
Fairness
RADAG Companies is firmly committed to fairness and objectivity in all its action and
interactions. Justice and fairness imbibed in the Organization's fabric ensure procedural
fairness, impartiality and consistency in RADAG Companies operations.
Purposefulness
RADAG Companies sees its activities in terms of higher purposes and ideals. This
purposefulness is a way of operating which ties RADAG Companies to its environment at a
mutually beneficial dimension.
Trust
We endeavor to foster a participatory work environment where trust and confidence between
team members is spontaneous. We always encourage teamwork with open, candid and speedy
communication.
Responsibility
Our employees are expected to demonstrate highest levels of personal responsibility and
continually affirm that they are responsible to themselves for the pursuit of excellence. At
RADAG Companies accountability is individual rather than collective. Our employees are
committed and enthusiastic to assume responsibility for actions for the organization.
Citizenship
We are a fiercely patriotic company, fully committed to achieving and participating in every
conceivable way in the progress and integrity of India. We are committed to obey all the law
s of India and the countries in which we do business and to do our part to make the
communities in which we live better.
36
Caring

provide employees with job-specific information to raise their level of awareness and
sensitivity to key ethical issues. While strongly recommending that employees err on the side
of the caution, to begin with, here are some practical ways to hone individual sensitivities
towards ethical dimensions in decision making.
1.1. Objective
to promote a productive work environment;
1.2 not to tolerate verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature by any employee
thatharasses, disrupts, or interferes with another’s work performance or that creates
anintimidating, offensive, or hostile environment.
43
Harassment that is unchecked has the potential to hurt the employer’s operationsthrough
decreased productivity and increased employee turnover.
2. Scope
This policy is applicable to all allegations made against an employee, irrespective ofwhether
sexual harassment is alleged to have taken place within or outside Companypremises.
3.1 Sexual harassment can be defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests forsexual
favours, and other verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature by anyperson(s) when:
submission to that conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or
condition of an individual’s employment;
submission to or rejection of that conduct by an individual is used as the
basis of employment decisions affecting the individual or denying equal
opportunity in pursuit of career development; or
the conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an
individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive
working environment.
44
3.3 Based on these criteria, sexual harassment typically is categorized into two types:
a. "Quid Pro Quo (this for that) Harassment": Sexual harassment by managers
andsupervisors generally is considered "quid pro quo" harassment when it involves
thesolicitation of sexual favours in exchange for some type of employment decision. Toprove
quid pro quo harassment, a complaining employee must show that he/she wassubject to an
unwelcome request for sexual favours by a supervisory employee andthat his/her
acquiescence to, or rejection of, the request was used as the basis fordecisions affecting
his/her compensation, terms, conditions, or other privileges ofemployment. Preferential
Treatment also may constitute quid pro quo harassment.
3.5 Any of the above conduct, or other offensive conduct, directed at individuals because
oftheir race, caste, creed, religion, physical disability, family background, pregnancy or ageis
also prohibited.
Any employee who believes that a supervisor’s, manager’s or other employee’s actions
orwords constitute unwelcome harassment has a responsibility to report or complain aboutthe
situation as soon as possible. The report or complaint should be made to thedepartment head
or Personnel Manager.
5. Compliant Procedure
45
5.1 The report or complaint should be made to the employee’s supervisor or to thedepartment
head or Personnel Manager if the complaint involves the supervisor ormanager.
5.5 Each complaint should be resolved within a period of 2 months from the complaint
andcommunicated to the parties involved.
5.6 Any employee utilizing the compliant procedure will be treated courteously.
5.7 A person knowingly making a false claim shall also be subject to disciplinary action.
6. Investigation Procedure
The supervisor or other person receiving the complaint should refer the complaint to
thepersonnel department without delay. The personnel department should choose
aninvestigator. Typically, the investigator should be a human resources professional who
isspecially trained to conduct sexual harassment investigations. The investigator should
besensitive to the emotional nature of this type of investigation. He/She should
alsounderstand what constitutes sexual harassment under both the employer’s policy and
thelaw in order to evaluate the complaint properly. Apart from business
46
relationship,investigators should not have any involvement with the complainant or the
allegedharasser.
The process should provide a fair method for both sides to be heard and to
receiveinformation. The employer and its investigator should not prejudge the alleged
harasser’sguilt. Witnesses should be interviewed as soon as possible. All responses should
bedocumented and, if possible, statements should be written and signed by the
personproviding the information. In addition, all participants in the investigation should
bereminded that their cooperation and confidentiality are required.
The complaining party should be interviewed first, to ensure that all important details
andwitnesses are identified promptly.
Both parties should be told to avoid contact with one another, and ways to minimizecontact
should be implemented.
Witnesses should be told as little as possible about the details of the complaint in order
toreduce the employer’s exposure to later claims of defamation.
47
The investigator should recognize that there might be no eyewitnesses. Thus, theemployer
may have to resolve a sexual harassment claim based on the credibility of theparties.
b. the definition of harassment, with particular attention paid to the legal definitions ofsexual
harassment;
d. the consequences of violating the policy against harassment, and the types of
behaviour that may lead to immediate termination;
f. encouragement to report harassment and reassurance that there will not be any
retaliation for complaints or reports of harassment.
7.3 In addition to training, all employees should receive a copy of the written policy and
anyfurther revisions. Employers also should provide training for all new hires and for
thoseemployees who are new to management positions.
48
8.1 Supervisors and managers play a key role in preventing and eliminating harassmentsince
they are in a position to identify potentially harassing behaviour.
8.3 However, supervisors and managers can cause severe problems if they engage in anyform
of harassment themselves. If proved guilty, they will be subject to strict disciplinaryaction, up
to and including termination.
Any employee, supervisor, or manager who is found to have violated the harassmentpolicy
will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
The Company prohibits any form of retaliation against employees for bringing bona
fidecomplaints or providing information about harassment. However, if an investigation of
acomplaint shows that the complaint or information was false, the individual who
providedthe false information will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination.

theconfidentiality of all such information obtained in the course of his or her work at

Conclusion
Indian economy is an emerging one and is growing very fast at the average GDP rate 8-9% so
in this emerging market competition level among telecommunication services provides new
players are coming who will necessarily intensify the competition. New products and new
schemes are being offered by the telecom service providers. The need for large information
capacity has grown tremendously due to the demand of real time information.
Telecommunication has now become a major information transmission system and telecom
has undoubtedly emerged as the most important industry in India. Indian telecom companies
are putting in their best offer to rope in major telecom operators of the world e.g. Vodafone,
77
Aircel and MTN etc. are playing their role in synergy with the operation of the Indian
companies. Process of acquisition and merger are in process and future will be only for those
companies who have an edge over others in the field. Service provided and the better quality
of network etc. is provided at affordable cost. In this process of competition it is assumed that
only those companies will survive who adopt suitable market strategy and technology
innovation and up gradation to suit the aspiration and demand of the consumer.
RCOMM cellular ltd. An Anil Ambani Group of cos. Is very fast catching up with the market
by providing cheaper calling rates. The market strategies adopted by its executives are
