It would be tragic if India is reduced to a two private player telecom market, says Airtel chairman

Mittal also said that it is important for companies to get into new businesses and said that companies that previously said will not disappear “have gone off the face of the business charts for not staying relevant.”

Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal has said that it would be tragic if India ends up having only two telecom operators. He further noted that a country as big as India should have at least three private sector players. Mittal also said that it is important for companies to get into new businesses and said that companies that previously said will not disappear “have gone off the face of the business charts for not staying relevant.” Mittal’s comments come at a time when telecom company Vodafone Idea or Vi is trying to find investors and looks at improving its financial position in the market.
