VOICE FROM OPERATORS Bharti Airtel leading mobile revolution through innovation “What is most innovative about Bharti Airtel in my opinion is their business model and how they construct their company. It’s quite different from the rest of our industry,” recommended by Craig Ehrlich, former Chairman of GSMA. At GSMA Asian Congress in November 2008, Mr. Manoj Kohli, President and CEO of Bharti Airtel delivered a keynote speech themed Leading Mobile Revolution through Innovation, and shared with the industry peers their key to success. By Manoj Kohli, CEO of Bharti Airtel Seizing the huge potential India has the second largest population in the world. In a couple of decades, India will probably surpass China in population. The GDP growth rate, which was around 9% in India has marginally come down to about 7%. This is actually a sustainable growth rate, given the current global financial impact of today. The GDP of India is about USD1 trillion and grows at a rate of about 8% a year. In six years, we can double the GDP to USD2 trillion . The India telecom sector will be a catalyst to the growing economy and continue to show healthy growth both in customers and traffic at a very speedy rate. Inflation has fortunately come down to 6% from a high of over 12%, meaning that there is more and more disposable income coming to the telecom, media, and Internet services from other sectors. Luckily for Bharti Airtel, a zero-debt company, financing is not a problem. We can finance the growth and lead future growth in a very robust way. The mobile penetration is quite low at around 27%, with over 346 million mobile subscribers as of the end of December 2008, among them over 84 million are Airtel (wireless) brand users. Unfortunately, the broadband penetration is as low as 0.42% with over 5.3 million users. The good thing is that now the government is promoting broadband, targeting to reach 20 million broadband subscribers by 2010. The broadband revolution is following the mobile revolution and the Indian economy. Clearly, India has deep domestic demand and fantastic potential for growth in the next few years. Key drivers of telecom growth Based on the prediction for the next five years for 1 Win-Win / FEB 2009
Bharti Airtel is on a journey of excellence through innovation. This journey definitely has no destination. Other than that Bharti Airtel will continue to be a catalyst to India’s economy and an engine for the economic growth. — Manoj Kohli, CEO of Bharti Airtel FEB 2009 / Win-Win 2
