Airtel looks to generate meaningful revenue streams from digital offerings

Bharti Airtel is looking to generate meaningful revenue streams from its digital offerings in the next 12 months as it looks to position itself as a combination of technology and telecom firm. As per Gopal Vittal, MD & CEO (India and South Asia), the company has built a digital team of almost 1,200 people over the last three years and has apps like Airtel Thanks, Wynk, X Stream and retail app Mitra, among others, under its portfolio.

“I believe we have now scaled our capabilities substantially. We have over 150 million monthly active users across our digital assets – Airtel Thanks, Wynk or X Stream. We have over 1.1 million retailers transacting and making payments every day on our Mitra App,” Vittal said during the post results investor call.
