Message from
Chairman
The global economy went through another challenging year. Even as the US experienced sustained recovery, growth in the Euro area remained muted and China continued to slow down, dragging down global economy conspicuously.

A Bold Leap Forward
70,000
Base stations deployed in FY 2015-16
A leap by its very nature does not follow a linear pattern. For us at Bharti Airtel, every leap is an ambitious, orbit-shifting trajectory to chart a new course, set a higher benchmark and take a historic step forward.
In FY 2015-16, we announced a ` 600,000 Mn investment on a comprehensive network transformation programme – ‘Project Leap’. It will help us build a smart and dynamic communication architecture to improve customer experience through high quality voice and data experience across India.
A New Generation’s Take on Life
6 Lakh+
Over 6 Lakh customers are already part of the ‘myPlan’ family
Yes, that’s the prism through which we look at the transformative power of communications. In a country with a significant youth bulge (over 65% of the population is 35 or under, and half the country’s population is under 25 years of age) our strategy is to continue to innovate for New India; and find the courage to chase seemingly ‘off-the-wall’ ideas. We believe that’s the fastest lane through which we can get closer to aspirations, and create an experiential world, our customers desire and deserve to live in.
Africa’s Conversation is Changing

We believe there is a great disconnect between dated perceptions and rapidly changing realities on ground in Africa. At Bharti Airtel, we are helping the continent leverage the right network and build consensus on critical socio-economic issues. We are fostering development by changing the face of communications. Africa now has a new narrative to share with the world.
