 HISTORY
Sunil Bharti Mittal founded the Bharti Group. In 1983, Sunil Mittal was into an agreement with
Germany's Siemens to manufacture the company's push-button telephone models for the Indian
market. In 1986, Sunil Bharti Mittal incorporated Bharti Telecom Limited (BTL) and his
company became the first in India to offer push-button telephones, establishing the basis of
Bharti Enterprises. This first-mover advantage allowed Sunil Mittal to expand his
manufacturing capacity elsewhere in the telecommunications market. By the early 1990s, Sunil
Mittal had also launched the country's first fax machines and its first cordless telephones. In
1992, Sunil Mittal won a bid to build a cellular phone network in Delhi. In 1995, Sunil Mittal
incorporated the cellular operations as Bharti Tele-Ventures and launched service in Delhi. In
1996, cellular service was extended to Himachal Pradesh. In 1999, Bharti Enterprises acquired
control of JT Holdings, and extended cellular operations to Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. In
2000, Bharti acquired control of Skycell Communications, in Chennai. In 2001, the company
acquired control of Spice Cell in Calcutta. Bharti Enterprises went public in 2002, and the
company was listed on Mumbai Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India. In
2003, the cellular phone operations were rebranded under the single Airtel brand. In 2004,
Bharti acquired control of Hexacom and entered Rajasthan. In 2005, Bharti extended its
network to Andaman and Nicobar.

In 2009, Airtel launched its first international mobile network in Sri Lanka. In 2010, Airtel
began operating in Bangladesh and 16 African countries.

Today, Airtel is the largest cellular service provider in India and fifth largest in the world.
