Airtel, third largest mobile operator
Bharti Airtel (Airtel), a leading telecommunications service provider
with operations in 20 countries across South Asia and Africa has become
the third largest mobile operator in the world in terms of subscribers.
As per the latest data published by WCIS, Airtel with over 303
million mobile subscribers across its operations, has moved up one
position in the global rankings.
Airtel began operations in November 1995 in New Delhi (India) and in
less than two decades it has emerged as one of the top brands in the
emerging markets with an unmatched scale and diversity of operations.
The company pioneered the low-cost business model based on outsourcing
that has allowed it to expand its services rapidly and give customers
affordable access to mobile telephony.
Chairman, Bharti Airtel, Sunil Bharti Mittal said, "This is a major
landmark in the journey of Airtel and underlines the strength of our
business model and our brand that is loved by customers across 20
countries. Today, we seamlessly manage global scale operations in
diverse geographies and deliver the same world-class services to each
customer, this perhaps is one of our biggest achievements."
"I want to thank our employees and our business partners for
supporting us through this exciting journey and with the mobile internet
play about to happen in the developing world, things will only get
brighter from here on," he said. |
