Airtel has emerged stronger from several 'near-death experiences' including Jio entry: Sunil Mittal SECTIONS Share Synopsis "We have gone through, I would say several near-death experiences. We have now arrived today, after three or four big crises into a very healthy shape," Mittal said at the Amazon Sambhav Summit 2021 on Thursday. AFP Bharti Airtel has emerged stronger from the throes of several 'near-death moments', including rival telco Reliance Jio’s predatory pricing, and is now adding more users than rivals in wireless services, has become the leader in direct-to-home connectivity, and is growing its data centre and payments businesses, Chairman Sunil Mittal said.
