Telecom Prices 'Broken' Kyun Hain?
Bharti Airtel ka kehna hai ki India ka jo current telecom pricing structure hai na, woh bilkul bhi sustainable nahi hai. Company ke executives bohot dissappointed hain ki pichle quarter mein Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) mein sirf ₹3 ka badhotri hui hai. Is slow growth ka reason hai ek flawed pricing model, jo revenue ko limit kar deta hai. Speciallly jab India mein unlimited data plans, Europe aur US jaise markets ke expensive plans ke compare mein kam revenue generate karte hain.
Airtel Ka Naya Plan: Tiered Pricing!
Is situation ko theek karne ke liye, Airtel ek naye pricing system ki taraf badh raha hai – usage-based, tiered plans. Matlab, customers ko alag-alag data options milenge jaise – small, medium, large, aur extra-large. Isse users ko automatically upgrade karne ka motivation milega jaise unka data consumption badhega. CEO Shashwat Sharma ne explain kiya ki yeh structure customers ko unke actual consumption ke hisab se upgrade karne ka ek "natural pathway" dega.
ARPU Badhane Ke Aur Bhi Tareeke
ARPU ko lift karne ke liye, Airtel kuch aur bhi important cheezein push karne wala hai. Isme post-paid customers ka base significatly badhana aur users ko plan upgrade karne ke liye encourage karna jab unki data needs badhti hain. Company ko higher-tier post-paid plans se, 5G adoption se, international roaming badhne se, aur feature phones se upgrade karne wale customers se revenue growth ki kaafi umeed hai. Fibre-based broadband services mein bhi kaafi paisa lagaya jaa raha hai, fibre infrastructure par capital expenditure badha kar ek premium customer experience deliver karne ke liye.
Network Ready Hai, Ab Diversification Bhi!
Sharma ne confirm kiya ki Airtel ka 5G network ab fully Standalone (SA) ready hai. Core network enhancements ke alawa, company future-proofing ke liye "calibrated experiments" ke through naye areas mein bhi invest kar rahi hai. In ventures mein data centers, financial services, aur Airtel Cloud shamil hain, jo strategic expansion ko different growth sectors mein dikha rahe hain.
