Strategy Overview and Operations:

 

The world of Carriers and telecom service providers is being increasingly challenged with issues such as declining revenues, ARPUs, rapidly changing technology landscape, regulatory changes etc. All these issues impact the financial and operational performances of the telcos. There is increasing realization that Carriers and telecom service providers need to partner with a credible entity that would help them overcome these challenges, manage new network build-outs, efficiently operate delivery processes and finally support a faster go-to-market.

 

The Company is a 100% subsidiary of Tata Communications (parent), and it is in the business of providing such telecom network transformation services to carriers and telecom service providers. The company has exhaustive understanding of telecom services and processes which is leveraged to devise and deliver solutions for its customers at every stage of telecom process lifecycle viz. Network Engineering, Service Fulfilment and Service Assurance.

 

The Company has established two world-class delivery centres in Pune and Chennai. The facilities at these centres are completely independent from the operations of its Parent, preserving full confidentiality in managing all customers' business processes.

 

The Company is committed to carry on its operations with the rich traditions and business ethics of the Tata Group of Companies.

 

The Company has created and deployed its own Processes and Platforms for identified telecom practice areas and internal support functions, which differentiates it from its competitors in the market place
