Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Domestic enterprise business expected to grow strongly at 18-20%, driven by connectivity, CPaaS (e.g., SpamShield), IoT, cloud, and analytics.
  • Adjacent segments to connectivity (cloud, analytics, digital services) show rapid growth potential, with recent strategic alliances like with Google to capture the $18 billion Indian cloud market by 2027.
  • Non-mobile businesses (homes, B2B, digital) comprising about 20% of portfolio poised for faster growth due to adjacencies and rising demand.
  • Broadband business requires acceleration, with focus on fiber rollout, fixed wireless access (FWA) scaling in 25 cities, and convergence plans to increase customer stickiness.
  • Mobility segment shows strong smartphone net additions and device upgrades; 5G base growing steadily with 72 million customers as of March 2024.
  • Overall, sustained growth supported by structural investments, network improvements, and digital product innovation, though global enterprise business faces challenges.
