Bharti Airtel’s business model was applauded by IBM CEO Sam Palmisano during IBM business leadership forum in China where top CEOs from the western world participated. In Feb-2004, Sunil Mittal, CEO of Bharti took a bold step in outsourcing its cellular network operations to its equipment vendors – Nokia, Ericsson and Siemens. Sunil’s views were he could focus more on better customer service. This rocked the IBM forum as this was a bold and unique move by any large telco/cellco in the world.

After 2 years, Hutch a joint venture between Hutchinson Whampoa and Essar group is following similar model by outsourcing their network operations to Nokia.
