Business need

Bharti Airtel needed to transform its IT with a superior architecture that can scale with the customer growth and keep up with USPs business demands and also enable business transformation.

Key challenges

A rapidly expanding telecom market in India fueled exponential growth in the subscriber base of Bharti Airtel, the country's largest mobile service provider. But business processes that were not yet fully integrated and a complex IT infrastructure building that could scale at speed meant that Bharti Airtel had to employ substantial energies away from its core business of integrated telecom services.
