But the lack of infrastructure and ineffective market penetration strategies are working against the interests of the telecom providers.
    • The cut-throat competition: Lucrative Indian telecom marketing sector has attracted several large corporations to jump on the wagon. These organizations are often quite large and try to control the market by lowering price. Such practices make telecom scenario more competitive.
    • Poor management of growing sales force: Another big challenge before the providers are proper management of increasing sales force. According to Randstand India, telecom industry will generate over 40 lakh job opportunities with 5 years. No doubt, a great chunk will be part of the sales force. Under-utilization of such huge human resource can cost a huge amount of revenue.
