Riding on 5G tech, Tech Mahindra aims to boost communications revenues

After years of slow growth in the telecommunication segment, Tech Mahindra is expecting to get back to strong growth mode in this business, primarily driven by fifth-generation (5G) cellular mobile technologies.

According to Manish Vyas, president of communications business and chief executive officer of Network Services at Tech Mahindra, the company is making sure it is ready to tap some of these opportunities by investing in technology, grooming internal talents, and forging partnerships with the external ecosystem.

At the Mobile World Congress last month, the firm showcased a host of communications and 5G solutions, including Netops.ai, a 5G-ready software platform, with partners like Juniper Networks, AltioStar, Affirmed Networks, F5, Intel and Red Hat, among many others. While globally telecom service providers are waiting for 5G clearances, TechM says this is where the future lies.
