On July 10, 2026, Airtel Africa CEO Sunil Taldar committed to connecting 5,000 schools across its operating countries to free internet by 2027 through the Airtel Africa Foundation and a partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). On the same date, the Airtel Africa Foundation also renewed its scholarship partnership with Mukuru Promotion Centre, extending its commitment to supporting education for disadvantaged learners in Kenya by providing full tuition scholarships for 22 students at St. Michael’s Secondary School between 2026 and 2028. Previously on July 9, analysts projected Bharti Airtel to lead India’s telecom sector growth in Q1FY27 with stronger profitability and subscriber additions, expecting the sector to post steady growth driven by premiumisation and improving Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). Earlier that day, an analysis identified Bharti Airtel as a primary mobile service provider in India, alongside Reliance Jio, contributing to the country’s trend towards digital duopolies. This followed data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) revealing Bharti Airtel added the highest number of mobile subscribers in May 2026, outpacing Reliance Jio, as India’s overall telephone subscriber base rose by 5.56 million to 1.343 billion.
