Partnering with Government to drive development and e-Governance

At Airtel, we are partnering with government to enable digital empowerment, build trust and identify areas of cooperation to create value for a wider stakeholder community. In our endeavor to ensure inclusive growth, we have partnered with government to undertake a deeper responsibility to co-create value for the community at large. We joined hands with several state governments in India to facilitate and create advanced telecommunication services, aligning to the government’s vision of ‘Digital India’. Some of the projects undertaken were as follows:

  • High-Speed Network in Smart Cities
  • Telepresence Services for Rajasthan Government
  • Crime and Criminal Tracking Networks and Systems

Strengthening our partnerships with suppliers

At Airtel, how we treat our suppliers is also an important part of our long-term sustainable strategy. While we foster a culture of innovation and integrity in our internal operations, we put equal thrust on developing strong partnerships with our suppliers. Our strong sourcing policy describes a detailed approach to responsible procurement practices from suppliers who are aligned to sustainable business practices. Our right selection of key suppliers helps in shaping a sustainable future and creates value for our stakeholders.

Airtel’s ‘Partner World’, a one stop online portal for end-to-end partner management enables the suppliers to share information, interact/ collaborate, and ultimately form closer relationships with the company. The Annual Confluence, a partnership event, provides opportunities for our partners to interact with the top management and align towards achieving long-term goals of Airtel.
