ARPU(USDpermonth)
GSM CDMA
Minutes of Usage per Month – Mobile Services
ARPU* in India – Mobile Services
Despite a low teledensity of approximately 19
percent, India has the second highest minutes of
usage per month. This offers huge growth opportunity
to telecom companies.
The declining ARPU implies that India Inc. is tapping a
large market at the bottom of the pyramid by reducing
tariffs; thereby, enhancing affordability.
7. Future Strategies
• Translate its expertise in Indian markets to
other emerging economies. This could call for
acquisitions globally.
• Technology leadership is a must.
• Indian market inspite of being the worlds
largest is still not matured. Opportunities
abound in the hinterland which must be
exploited.

Business Challenge
Bharti Airtel needed to maximize its future flexibility and
growth potential by adopting a business-driven framework
for integration, allowing it to implement and deliver new
services rapidly. With competition intensifying in the Indian
telecom services market,
Bharti Airtel needed to find a way to focus on developing
new services that could set it apart from the competition
and strengthen its customer relationships.
