Airtel has operations in 20 countries across South Asia and Africa and moved up from fourth to third position ahead of China Unicom and America Movil with 299.09 million and 274.14 million mobile subscribers in the fourth and fifth positions respectively.
China Mobile and Vodafone Group are in the first and second spot with 626.27 million and 403.08 million respectively.
Airtel began operations in November 1995 in New Delhi, India, and in less than two decades emerged as one of the top brands in the emerging markets with an unmatched scale and diversity of operations. It pioneered a low-cost business model based on outsourcing that has allowed it to expand its services rapidly and give customers affordable access to mobile telephony.
Reacting to the development, the 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.”
