Bharti Airtel is India’s 2nd largest Telecom company, with 32% market share in the telecom wireless subscriber market. Airtel is also the 2nd largest company in the Broadband industry with 29% market share.
Bharati Airtel was formerly known as Bharati Telecom Limited. During the early 1980s, Sunil Mittal (Founder and Chairman) imported push-button phones from a Singaporean company (Singtel) and assembled them in India.
This background in the telecom industry helped when Delhi Cellular Licenses auctioned four mobile phone network licenses. The only condition was, the bidder had to have some experience in the telecom industry. Mittal had a clear edge among his peers and clinched the deal with French Telecom group, Vivendi.
Within a few years, with a clear goal-oriented road map, Airtel hit 20 lakh mobile subscribers in India.
When the STD / ISD rates were soaring high in India, Airtel cut it down under the brand name ‘India One’.
In 2008, Airtel came up with its in-house DTH services for its consumers.
Once the leader in the telecom market, things changed with the entry of Reliance Jio in 2016. The market was disrupted, most telecom players suffered losses and were forced to shut down their business. Only 3 players have survived the Jio onslaught – Airtel, Vi and the state-run BSNL.
While Vi continues its struggle, market-leader Jio is the biggest competitor to Airtel.
