Airtel brings Zoom alternative BlueJeans video conferencing app; key features

Airtel has teamed up with US based telecom company Verizon to bring a new video conferencing service called Airtel BlueJeans to India.

BlueJeans was founded by Indian entrepreneurs Krish Ramakrishnan and Alagu Periyannan and was acquired by Verizon in May 2020.

Unlike Zoom and other competing services, BlueJeans is aimed at catering to large businesses, as it can host meetings with up to 50,000 participants.

Hans Vestberg, Chief Executive Officer of Verizon said “Security is our primary plan and that’s how BlueJeans differentiates itself from the other competitors in the market”, reassuring users of BlueJeans’ focus on privacy protection.
