Even as Indian telco Bharti Airtel continues its aggressive 5G rollout across the country, the company is looking for other ways to expand its reach with digital transformation services for Indian consumers and enterprises. To that end, Airtel and Meta announced a new partnership this week that the companies say will help to grow India’s digital ecosystem. The companies said they’re working together to extend a subsea cable system, increase Open RAN use and research, and expand Airtel’s Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) offerings.
