Final Report - Vedansh Kapoor
I was assigned the project title "Financial Analysis and Forecasting for Jio" by the company for the
duration of my internship.
In JIO I worked as a financial analyst and was responsible for doing variance analysis of project
finance, operations & maintenance, business finance, and business planning.
In project finance, I was responsible for analyzing how to make the right of way and invoice
processing easier and identifying loopholes to have a great impact on the cost aspect.
My another role was to adopt different analysis techniques so that a proper and more enhanced
process could be developed to reduce the errors while working with a huge vendor data list.
Another role was involved related to business finance where I learned how to onboard different
enterprises which were categorized as ED (enterprise distribution), ARD (activation and recharge
distribution), and many more. In this role, my work was to analyze how the onboarding process
could be made easier and hassle-free for both vendors and for JIO by working on the loopholes.
As a working analyst, it was important to help JIO with my ideas and analysis and provide a method
where my analysis would save some costs related to various aspects like tower installation, which
included rent, electricity bills, and fuel. It was crucial to determine which type of tower was cost-
effective while providing maximum range, such as RTT (roof top tower) and GBM (ground-based
monopoly tower).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The report is structured into various topics, providing an insight into the concept of working capital
and its necessity for companies. In project finance, my role involved analyzing methods to streamline
right of way and invoice processing, identifying loopholes to optimize costs effectively.
Another role was undertaken in relation to business finance, where I acquired the knowledge of
recharge distribution), and more. In this role, my task was to analyze how the onboarding process
could be simplified and made hassle-free for both vendors and JIO by addressing any existing
loopholes.
By creating a table in Excel, we utilized a combination to determine the appropriate percentages for
Assuming there were 1000 Fiber Service Areas (FSAs) each covering 10km, the total area would be
10,000km. Out of this 10,000km, 70% was allocated for Underground installations and 30% for Aerial
installations. To optimize costs, it was crucial to review the mix percentages for cost-effectiveness. My
task involved collaborating with the finance department and my mentor to explore various
combinations, aiming to achieve the most cost-efficient solution. Once the final percentages were
determined, approval from the project department and ROW team was obtained.

SPECTRUM INFO
The 700 MHz band is being adopted as a prime coverage band for deployment of LTE/5G
technology.
Spectrum in 800 MHz band , 900 MHz band and 1800 MHz band ,was primarily being used
for providing voice service (2G service) in India. Now these bands are predominantly being
used to deliver high speed data services using LTE.
2100 MHz spectrum band (3GPP band B1) was opened up in India for deploying 3G
networks.
The telco had to spend INR 3.02 Cr per MHz, which was the second-highest cost of
acquisition of spectrum during the auction.
Reliance Jio (INR 88,078 Cr) was the biggest spender at the spectrum auction,
The Akash Ambani-led telco bought the rights to use 24,740 MHz of spectrum for 20
years.
followed by Bharti Airtel (INR 43,084 Cr)
and Vodafone Idea (INR 18,799 Cr)
10
Jio was the only telco that bought the premium 700 MHz spectrum band, taking the telco’s
cost for acquisition of spectrum to INR 3.56 Cr per MHz.
The five most expensive circles were Delhi, Mumbai, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra
Pradesh related to spectrum.

The main work of fibre is to provide net in the broadband in the boxes which is commonly known as

BUILDING NO TOWER RANGE
The ISC is an internal small cell which helps in providing the network range to the building. This is
done because tower provides network to a certain area and where these towers don’t able to
provide the network or range then ISC comes into use.

STEP 2 – Another step is create a mix. Mix consist of inclusion of both UG and AERIAL.
Scope UG AERIAL
FSA 1 5KM 70% 30%
FSA 2 10KM
FSA 3 20KM
FSA 4 8KM
FSA 5 25KM
With the help of making this table in the excel we use mix to know that what percentage can we
take of UG and what percentage can we take of Aerial.
So let us assume that there are 1000 FSAs of 10km. So the total area will be of 10,000km.
Now out of 10,000 km if we are doing 70% using UG and 30% using AERIAL.
Now in order to make it less expensive we have to do cost optimization. In order to do this it is
important to revise the percentages of the mix to make it cost effective and my work is to do that
only.
With the help of the finance department and my mentor using permutation and combination means
by taking different percentages of the mix in order to find out that how can we come to the
minimum cost but after finalizing the final percentages it needs to approved by the project
department and row team.
32
So a data was provided by the mentor where I have to do in-depth analysis of this and work on cost
optimization. And this is just the example that I am quoting actual data and process of doing this is
lengthy and includes several parameters while doing this analysis.
OT MOLING HDD
NOW FROM 70% OF UG WE HAVE TO DECIDE ABOUT THE METHOD THAT NEED TO BE USED IN
DOING UF THAT IS OPEN TRENCH, MOILING AND HDD.
33
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Financial analysis of some important parameters from the annual reports of various
competitor banks helped to understand the reason behind why a particular competitoris
doing so well in the market than the others. Some of the important parameters couldbe cost
to income ratio, Net NPA ratio, advances, deposits, operating profit followedby net profit.
As working as a analyst it is important to help JIO with my ideas and analysis and provide a
method where my analysis will save some cost related to anything like cost of tower installation
which includes rent, electricity bill and fuel. And to find out that which type of tower cost
effective along with maximum range such as RTT( roof top tower), GBM(groundbased monopoly
tower)
In invoice processing where material controlling and reconciliation is the most crucial thing that
needed to be taken care off. So when i saw the data related to the material that is assigned to the
concerned vendor I presented the report with the help of different charts related to the amount of
material assigned and material used in different new locations of Delhi so that loopholes can be
findout and the areas where material consumption is highest.
I have also learned that how to do Indepth analysis of several variables with the help of short data
provided along with limited time to get it done which not only enhances time management but
alsoimproves our ability of thinking.
