Bharti Airtel (“Airtel”), India’s largest integrated telecommunications company, marked its entry into the fast-growing cloud communications market with the launch of Airtel IQ today.

Airtel IQ, a cloud-based omni-channel communications platform, enables
brands to deepen engagement with customers through timely and secure
communication. Take for example a customer ordering food through an
online platform and calling the delivery agent to find out the status
of her order. The entire communication is orchestrated seamlessly and
securely over Airtel IQ. The communication is encrypted and all
mobile/telephone numbers are masked.
A true game changer in the Indian enterprise communication segment, Airtel IQ eliminates the need for multiple communication platforms for
different channels. With just a slice of code, businesses can embed
communication services such as Voice, SMS, IVR in their applications
and digital properties across desktop and mobile, all through a
unified platform. For more details www.Airtel.in/iq
Airtel IQ has been fully developed by Airtel’s in-house engineering teams and highlights the company’s growing digital prowess to deliver world-class solutions. Natively integrated into telco grade infrastructure and architected by top digital talent, Airtel IQ is robust, secure, cost-efficient and intuitive.
Many of India’s biggest companies such as Swiggy, Justdial, Urban Company, Havells, Dr. Lal Path Labs and Rapido have signed up as customers for Airtel IQ during the beta phase itself.
Commenting on Airtel’s latest innovation, Vivek Sunder, COO, Swiggy, said, “Seamless and secure communication between our customers, delivery partners and partner restaurants is key to our service enablement.
With Airtel IQ, we have been able to deliver seamless and highly intuitive communication between all parties across our platform in a privacy contained and simplified fashion.”

The Indian cloud communications market, estimated to be worth USD 1
billion*, is growing close to 20 per cent annually.
Airtel is India’s largest player in the B2B connectivity space and serves over one million businesses with an integrated portfolio that includes
connectivity, cloud, security and collaboration and data centre
solutions. The company is uniquely positioned to capture this large
emerging opportunity and be a leading player in this segment.
