Abstract

The purpose of this study is to apply the SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges) framework to a comprehensive assessment of India's telecoms industry. The goal of the study is to present a thorough picture of the industry's current situation while highlighting the major variables affecting its per-formance and future growth prospects. By examining both internal and external dynamics, the research iden-tifies the sector's competitive strengths, areas for improvement, opportunities for future development, and challenges to overcome. The goal of this analysis is to help stakeholders - policymakers, investors, and indus-try experts - make strategic decisions that will help the Indian telecoms sector become more robust and flexi-ble. The study employs a qualitative research approach, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Pri-mary data is sourced from industry reports and corporate documents, while secondary data includes academ-ic journals, government publications, and reputable online sources. The SWOC analysis framework is used to systematically evaluate the internal strengths and weaknesses of India's telecommunications sector, as well as the external opportunities and challenges it faces. This methodology allows for a thorough examination of the sector, providing valuable insights for stakeholders and guiding strategic decision-making.
