Republic Business Leadership Conclave: Rajan Bharti Mittal With Arnab Goswami on The Bharti Airtel Story

At the Republic Business Leadership Conclave, Rajan Bharti Mittal, Vice Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, delivered a compelling keynote tracing Airtel's transformation from a small import business to a global telecom giant. He highlighted the pivotal 1992 bid for a Delhi mobile license, launching Bharti Cellular Limited (later Airtel) in 1995 with just 1,000 subscribers, which grew exponentially through innovative outsourcing models like the "minutes factory" with Nokia and Ericsson, enabling Airtel to focus on branding and customer reach.Mittal detailed Airtel’s milestones, including the 2009 Zain Africa acquisition, expanding its footprint to 18 countries, and the 2022 5G rollout amid intense competition from Reliance Jio.

He reflected on navigating challenges like the 2G scam and COVID-19, where Airtel’s network connected 1.4 billion people, cementing its Rs 10 lakh crore valuation. Looking forward, Mittal emphasized Airtel’s shift toward enterprise solutions, satellite broadband via OneWeb, and social impact through the Bharti Airtel Foundation’s 150+ Satya Bharti Schools. His narrative underscored Airtel’s role as India’s digital backbone, advocating for AI and sustainable tech to drive inclusive growth, inspiring attendees at the conclave’s discussions on fintech, manufacturing, and beyond.
