Executive Summary

Internship was my first step in practical life, through which I learnt a lot and it has aided

me in being well equipped with valuable experience that would help me once I enter the

professional life after the completion of my studies.

During the month of Aug and Oct 2007, I worked in Mobilink GSM as an internee. My

association with this company was being a part of the Finance Department. It was a great

experience for me and it helped me in realizing where my potential lies. What I learnt at

Mobilink over the weeks was how to get along with the people that I have to work with

everyday, building confidence and improving my skills. This internship has also prepared

me for my future career in Finance so this internship has helped me a great deal. The

experience has taught me responsibility, teamwork and how to handle problems occurring.

Even though the nature of work was quite basic as an internee, nevertheless I got to see

what practical life is. This internship overall has been a great experience. This report

gives a profile of Mobilink and an insight into the Finance department where I was

assigned to work. This report also reflects my learning and experiences at Mobilink

along with my responsibilities and the tasks that I performed. Last part of the report

consists of some recommendations and suggestions that I have given.

1.1Orascom Telecom

Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. ("Orascom Telecom") or ("OTH") it was

established in 1998 and has grown to become a major player in the telecommunication

market.

OTH is considered among the largest and most diversified network operators in the

Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, and has acquired in early 2008 a license to operate

mobile services in North Korea. Orascom Telecom is a leading mobile

telecommunications company operating in six emerging markets having a population

In Pakistan, the Pakistan Mobile communications Ltd (“Mobilink”) started its operations

in 1994 and, until early 2001, had a market share of 40%. In April 2001, OTH took over

management control of the company.

As the market leader, Mobilink serves more than 31.5 million subscribers, representing a

market share of 38.5% (as of March 2008).

OTH has positioned itself as a leader in the region for its diverse GSM operations with

various GSM support and Internet operations. One of OTH's main strategies is to create its

own non- GSM subsidiaries to act as a backbone of support for its regional GSM

operations. OTH has achieved this by dedicating financial, technical and management

resources for supporting its subsidiaries. This includes network support and installation of

GSM operations, equipment procurement, handset procurement and distribution

companies, Value Added Services, and Internet operations. OTH is dedicated to providing

the best quality services to its customers, value to shareholders and a dynamic working

environment for its more than 15,000 employees.

OTH established a strong presence in the GSM Association (the world's leading wireless

industry representative body) only five years after its inception. OTH's Chairman and

CEO, Mr. Naguib Sawiris, was selected to join the GSM Association's CEO Board in

2002. OTH's stocks are traded on the Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchange (CASE),

(under the symbol ORTE.CA, ORAT EY) and on the London Stock Exchange (where its

GDR is traded under the symbol ORTEq.L, OTLD LI).

OTH is dedicated to provide the best quality services to its customers, value to

shareholders, and a dynamic working environment for its more than 15,000 employees.

Page 24: Mobilink Internship Shahid Mehmood.pdf

2.1SWOT Analysis

(Strength Weaknesses Opportunities Threads)

Strengths

Franchise of Orascom, a well Known Egyptian telecom company is

considered very strong and reliable.

Being the oldest international telecom company, Mobilink has captured

most of the potential customers by penetrating in the early stages of market

development.(Now 28million)

Covering over 10,000 cities, towns and villages across the Pakistan.

First operator to introduce IR for the people of Pakistan. Currently our

network covers more then 100 countries across the globe with over 300

roaming partners.

Human resources are considered as the asset of the organization.

Marketing strategies of Mobilink are more effective and more captivating

than any of its competitors present in Pakistan.

Ventures with well-known banks like MCB, Citibank for Mobilink banking

etc.

A very strong brand image

24

Page 25: Mobilink Internship Shahid Mehmood.pdf

Weaknesses

Instead of all its strength still considered to be the most expensive telecom

company both in call rates and SMS as compared to the its competitors.

Engineering department of Mobilink is not that well competent as

compared to its new competitors.

With first expending customer based customer care facilities need to be

expended simultaneously for customer retention along side switch

capacity networks coverage.

Opportunities

Potential opportunity is there as telecommunication has become the need of

people all around the world.

The fourth expend its networks in the areas where other network have been

unable to reach.

To bring in more innovative services like Mobilink PCO, Mobile banking

lost /stolen phone information etc. this can be done by hiring fresh and

competitive staff.

Services in the future can be

Fixed line Telephone

Wireless

Calling Cards

25

Page 26: Mobilink Internship Shahid Mehmood.pdf

Threats

Biggest threats are the new competitors like Telenor who recently entered

in telecom market of Pakistan.

Employees retention is also issue of concern for Mobilink as most of the employees get attracted by the more handsome salary paid by recently happenings multi-nationals

Loss of loyal customer can be one of the issues as they are moving toward the less expenses package of competitors.

Area of My Work and Experience

3.1Finance Department Hierarchy

During my six weeks of internship I performed many duties which added to

my experience and learning. All the tasks that I executed gave me a sense of

responsibility. Sometimes there was too much responsibility on me, too

much burden was there. At times things were slow, yet I wanted to work

more. Following tasks and duties were performed by me during my

Internship:

Page 28: Mobilink Internship Shahid Mehmood.pdf

Field Operations

In the Field Operations of Finance department I earned a great experience and

learnt a lot of skills which will be very helpful in coming future career.

3.2Commission PaymentWith the help of Mr. Faizan A2 Commission Officer. What I have learnt with him

is he was responsible for commission payment. Commission is paid on the sale of

post-paid and Prepaid Sims to the franchises all over the country. Commission on

prepaid Sims is paid in lump sum while commission on the postpaid Sim is paid

and adjusted in three installments. Commission is paid to B.D.O’S (Business

Development Officer Out Source Employees of the Mobilink usually on contract),

to agencies and the employees who collect due bill from the post paid customers

and direct commission is paid to the employees of the Mobilink for sale of Sims

and the cards. Commission policy keeps on changing and new commission charges

are calculated on the basis on new commission policy which is formulated by the

sales manager.

3.3Movement Record of Blackberry HandsetsMobilink offers the business cell phone blackberry for the convince of customer. I

maintain the record of blackberry received in the main business centre (Lahore)

issued to the different regional centers transfer-in, transfer-out and sales of

handsets. In the head quarter Mobilink maintain the record of movement of

blackberry of all business center and regional centers wise movements on the daily

bases and MTD (month to date) bases. If any error was found it would be corrected

by comparing the record received from the business and regional centers and

record being maintained in the head office.

3.4Process of Vendors Bills (Phoenix)Phoenix provides the cash carrying services for the Mobilink in all over the

country. Phoenix sent its monthly bills due to Mobilink for payment. After

receiving bills these are compared with the bills records maintained by the

28

Page 29: Mobilink Internship Shahid Mehmood.pdf

Mobilink and if any discrepancy being found in these are rectified according to the

negotiated terms and conditions being mentioned on the contracts between the

Phoenix and Mobilink.

3.5Processing of refund Cheques

The customers who have the Indigo (postpaid) connections when they temporarily or

permanently want to closed their accounts they file the application for refund of their

security deposits. After receiving the request from the customers, I have entered the

relevant information in the Oracle data base and printed the Cheques, then after processing

the Cheques I have mailed the no objection request with their Cheques to their relevant

destinations (Franchises).

3.6Preparation of Reports Regarding Payment of TaxMobilink basically pays three types of tax:-

o Customer tax or advance tax

o Sales tax

o Activation tax

Customer Tax and Advance Tax

It’s a tax type in which the Mobilink deducts the tax from the customer in advance and pay this tax to government.

Sales Tax

The tax which Mobilink pays to the government on the sale of its products (Sims Cards, Easy loads).

29

Page 30: Mobilink Internship Shahid Mehmood.pdf

Activation Tax

The Mobilink pays that tax only when Sim is activated after purchase.

I have prepared reports for the tax charges calculation and then compared it with the tax due bills being sent by the government. If error is found it is being informed and corrected, and if error not found it is sent to the superiors.

Conclusion

Mobilink is a place where one can live his dreams and pursue a career that

reflects his skills and passions. People in Mobilink give flexibility for change, the

opportunity to learn, and providing career options with endless possibilities

This report is about mobilink Pakistan the leading telecom company in Pakistan. The

methodological working and skill based areas of service-oriented organization.

In that course I was given an orientation on the particular attributes and working of all the

various segments especially of finance department. Mobilink is the leading telecom

company in Pakistan and their various policies. And procedures have enabled them to

reach to the top.

In the end we would like to conclude that this course of internship has helped me a lot In

understanding the main concept of practical life and has also provided us with The

knowledge that would be helpful for the future.

30

Page 31: Mobilink Internship Shahid Mehmood.pdf

Recommendations

Although Mobilink is the leading share holder of its category and till the time they

emerged in Pakistan they have been doing every thing right .but still their can be a few

recommendation which feel they should consider.

Reconsider their rates

The policy makers of mobilink should reconsider their call and sms ratesAs they

are no more a monopoly in the country now they are to face competition, which by

no regard is easy.

Step for retention of the customers

Human being are prone to experiment; same is the case here as more telecom

companies are entering the competition people are moving more towards them. so

for the skew of retaining their customer mobilink should become more dynamic by

introducing new and more customer friendly packages.

Mobilink should work on network improvement

Mobilink should attract maximum customers and satisfy them.
