By MYBRANDBOOK
Key players in the telecom industry, such as Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm; Sunil Bharti Mittal, founder and chairman of Bharti Airtel and Akshaya Moondra, MD and CEO of Vodafone Idea, were among the people with whom Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia held meetings.
They worked together to plan and delineate the telecom industry's future course of expansion. Scindia talked about fostering cooperative telecom sector growth while preserving the interests of the country and its citizens.
"We have identified a rather deep agenda for these committees. Now the members of these committees and we will be working together," Scindia told reporters after the meeting.
After the increase in mobile tariff in the range of 10-27 percent, it was the first meeting between the minister and the telecom chiefs.
Vodafone Idea CEO Akshaya Moondra and industry body Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) Director General S P Kochhar were also present at the meeting of the advisory committee of telecom service providers.
Scindia mentioned that the initial presentations by these committees are scheduled to take place over the next few weeks.
"Then we will be taking on each individual issue, delving into the details and devising an action plan, timelines and actionable items, so that we can take our sector forward," Scindia said. He said the six committees are the backbone of the Indian communication sector.
"By forging these committees we hope to take the sector forward realising Prime Minister's goal of creating not only a Atmanirbhar (self reliant) Bharat but a telecom superpower within India that we will hopefully transcend our boundaries in days to come," Scindia said.
An official statement said that the Telecom Service Providers SAC (stakeholders advisory committee) discussed strategies to enhance service delivery and address challenges faced by telecom operators as well as key issues aimed at different aspects concerning the sector including futuristic and innovative areas of growth.
The minister also met representatives of internet service providers and infrastructure committee as well as those of academia and R&D committee.
