At Airtel X Labs, our work has been fundamentally transforming the way people communicate and the way businesses operate. Since our early days in the mobile era, Airtel has worked relentlessly to break down communication barriers and deliver solutions that truly enrich the lives of our customers. This, indeed, has been at the core of our attempts at creating the future of digital experiences.
Today, we generate
100’s of trillions of records
annually from calls, network, apps, IoT devices, phones, GPS and more. Very few entities in India, or globally, come even within the lower orders of magnitude of this volume of data. The data is protected under “Bharti Airtel Information Privacy Policy (BIPP)” which is in alignment with the Information Technology (IT) Rules 2011 and best practices of GDPR regulation.
The Growth team at Airtel X Labs drives user retention, acquisitions, and revenue by optimizing Airtel’s products and inventing high-impact marketing channels. For example, the growth team built the Airtel Online Store to enable customers to buy premium devices with instant credit verification and approval, and secure plans – all with a few clicks.
The Digital Intelligence team works across the company to process high volumes of data, create microtargeting marketing campaigns, improve personalization and optimization, ensure revenue, and generate reporting and analytics. The platform triggers insights from activities of 400+ million customers.
At its core, the Product team ensures that Airtel retains its competitive edge in a rapidly-evolving digital landscape. From customer experience and online experience to data services and incubations, the team’s focus is to innovate, personalize and differentiate the Airtel experience by making it future forward. This team forms the basis of all innovations in design and experience –across products such as My Airtel App, Wynk, Airtel Payments Bank et. al.
In addition to building products, Airtel X Labs is focused on improving connectivity through IoT. This team spans automotive automation, movable assets, smart energy and smart cities.
