Bharti Airtel Limited (“Airtel”), India’s largest
telecommunications services provider, and Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), a
leading provider of software and services to communications and
media companies, today announced a strategic partnership creating
an innovation foundry to bring exciting new services to
Airtel’s customers in India. The partnership includes a
long-term contract to introduce cutting edge technologies and
practices to enhance Airtel’s customers’ service experience.
Gopal Vittal, MD and CEO (India and South Asia), Bharti Airtel

ecosystem of strategic business partners and look forward to
collaborating with them to build a solid innovation pipeline for
the future. Amdocs’ sharp focus on telecoms and their DNA of
cutting edge innovation will add immense value to Airtel’s digital

technologies across Airtel’s multiple lines of business to help
pre-empt and self-heal operational issues, introduce smartbots into
digital channels, and quickly launch and activate new services,
thereby enabling a seamless customer experience.

India’s fast growing and dynamic market and the communications
industry’s amazing pace of change,” said Eli Gelman, president and
chief executive officer at Amdocs. “Airtel India is a pioneer and
innovator, our partnership will be an innovation engine to the
industry and drive our joint success.”
