Vodafone Idea synergies to be realised by FY21. That will enable the cash generation from operations to improve, say Balesh Sharma, CEO & MD, and Akshaya Moondra, CFO, Vodafone Idea, in interview with ETNOW. Edited excerpts:

Where is Vodafone Idea after creating this mega telecom company?

Balesh Sharma: Vodafone Idea creates a new company out of the merger of number two and number three telecom players. There are very strong sets of credentials whether you look at the infrastructure present already with larger pool of spectrum, well invested networks, fibre networks, two very strong brands as well as 387 million customers and of course, the parentage of the Aditya Birla and the Vodafone groups. So, we have got all that it needs to create a great company.
