INTRODUCTION

A DREAM COME TRUE

The Late Dhirubhai Ambani 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.

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.

Today, Reliance Communications is revolutionising the way India communicates and

networks, truly bringing about a new way of life.

10

INDIA ’S LEADING INTEGRATED TELECOM COMPANY

Reliance Communications is the flagship company of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani

Group (ADAG) of companies. Listed on the National Stock Exchange and the

Bombay Stock Exchange, it is India’s leading integrated telecommunication company

with over 80 million customers.

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.

Reliance Mobile (formerly Reliance India Mobile), launched on 28 December 2002,

coinciding with the joyous occasion of the late Dhirubhai Ambani’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.

11

LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD

Reliance – Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, an offshoot of the Reliance Group founded

by Shri Dhirubhai H Ambani (1932-2002), ranks among India’s top three 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

Infrastructure Limited).

Reliance – ADA Group’s flagship company, Reliance Communications, is India's

largest private sector information and communications company, with over 80 million

subscribers. It has established a pan-India, high-capacity, integrated (wireless and

wireline), convergent (voice, data and video) digital network, to offer services

spanning the entire infocomm value chain.

Other major group companies — Reliance Capital and Reliance Infrastructure — are

widely acknowledged as the market leaders in their respective areas of operation.

ABOUT SH. DHIRUBHAI AMBANI

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 enterprise into a Rs 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.

Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-time retail

investors to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard-earned

money in the Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their trust,

substantial return on their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of

mutual respect and reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.

13

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.

Ambani, 48, is the chairman of all listed companies of the Reliance ADA Group,

VISION OF RELIANCE COMMUNICATION

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.

In addition to organic growth, Reliance Communications will leverage the advantages

derived from this impressive financial platform to explore and pursue any significant

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

18

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.

19

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.

Code of Conduct

(Adopted by the Company)

Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group of Companies continually reviews corporate

governance best practices to ensure that they reflect global developments. It takes

feedback into account, in its periodic reviews of the guidelines to ensure their

continuing relevance, effectiveness and responsiveness to the needs of local and

international investors and other stakeholders.

The Code of Conduct(s) and Business Policies adopted by the Reliance Anil

Dhirubhai Ambani Group (RADAG) Companies are given here.

Values and Commitments

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.

22

Ethics and Values at RADAG Companies

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. 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 captur ed in words, a brief description of

what we really feel about these virtues is outlined below:

forthright with one another and with all our stakeholders.

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.

and continually affirm that they are responsible to themselves for the pursuit of

every conceivable way in the progress and integrity of India. We are committed to

driven from the heart towards upholding of these values in our day to day conduct.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

For any business to run one needs four M’s namely Man, Money, Machine and

Material. Managing other three resources other than men, are easy to handle. Men are

very difficult to handle because no two human beings are similar in all way. Human

beings can think, feel and give response. Handling humans is more important for any

business because human being have crucial potential that may be very profitable for

the business. And these potential can be developed to an unlimited extent if they are

provided with proper environment. So the function of managing men is as important

as finance or marketing function in any business.

HRM refers to practices and policies framed for the management of human resources

in an organization, including Recruiting, screening, rewarding and appraising.”

Human resources have at least two meanings depending on context. The original

usage derives from political economy and economics, where it was traditionally called

labor, one of three factors of production. The more common usage within

corporations and businesses refers to the individuals within the firm, and to the

portion of the firm's organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other

personnel issues. This article addresses both definitions.

The objective of Human Resources is to maximize the return on investment from

the organization's human capital.

32

THE SCOPE OF HRM is indeed very vast. All major activities in the working life

of a worker-from the time of his or her entry into the organization until he or she

leaves- come under the purview of HRM.

Specifically, the activities include are

HR Planning

Job analysis and design

Recruitment and selection

Orientation and placement

Training and development

Performance Appraisal and Job evaluation

Employee and executive remuneration

Employee Motivation

Employee Welfare

It is the responsibility of human resource managers to conduct these activities in an

effective, legal, fair, and consistent manner.

"Human resource management aims to improve the productive contribution of

individuals while simultaneously attempting to attain other societal and individual

employee objectives." Schwind, Das & Wagar (2005).
