India’s Bharti Airtel has launched a new suite of end to end networking and connectivity services for global companies looking to set up businesses in the market.

The new India with Airtel services are aimed at improving the ease of setting up a business in India by offering companies a complete suite of fixed, mobile and added services.

Besides telephony, India with Airtel combines global and domestic data capacity and connectivity services, VSAT, VPN, data center and cloud cervices, VAS and payment/billing integration, M2M and managed services, among others.

“Given Airtel’s integrated product portfolio, we believe that we are uniquely placed to seamlessly serve the connectivity needs of companies looking to set up businesses in India. Also, companies can leverage Airtel’s deep understanding of the Indian market and leverage our vast customers and distribution network.”
