Bharti Airtel, a publicly owned company headquartered in India, was founded in 1995 and employs approximately 18,970 people. The company reported $24.2B in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as an India-based multinational telecoms group, it specializes in providing telecommunications services.
On October 9, 2026, a senior Bharti Airtel official advocated for satellite communication (satcom) players intending to use spectrum already deployed by mobile service providers to adhere to similar rules as telecom players, including acquiring spectrum through auction, contrasting with the current administrative process for satellite players. Earlier the same day, Airtel Business's CEO stated that the company's data center business has grown faster than the industry, having secured 33 customers for its sovereign cloud infrastructure within the past year. Concurrently, Bharti Airtel Chief Regulatory Officer Rahul Vatts confirmed that Airtel-backed Eutelsat OneWeb has completed its infrastructure and security demonstrations and is awaiting government approvals to launch satellite communication services in India. Previously, on October 9, Airtel Money, the African digital financial services platform, debuted on the London Stock Exchange, representing the exchange's largest initial public offering in several years, a move highlighted by Sunil Mittal, Founder of Airtel and Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, as building on Bharti's UK interests. This follows comments on October 7 at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026, where Airtel’s Chief Business Officer Abhishek Biswal emphasized that data sovereignty extends beyond merely storing data on Indian servers.
