CxO Interviews- Experiences & Views
Mr. H.L. Gupta : Sr. V.P, Jio & Ex. V.P Airtel
“At Jio, we strongly feel in creating differentiation. It can be user experience, can
be innovative products or pricing and this endeavour can be achieved better by
continuously building in-house capabilities“
Mr. N.L.Garg : Chief Commercial Officer, Aircel
“Long back, we started with strategic outsourcing model but now with maturity
of operations and with great learning, we strongly feel that cost leadership via
OS model was a myth”
Mr. Mangesh Badri, Ex Sr. V.P, Operations, Idea Cellular
“ Who can better understand than us that outsourcing operations to MNC
vendors is not a cheaper option. It was a pure strategic call, decades ago, by
selective telecom operators in a mad race of foot print & volume enhancement”
“ After seeing big jolt on their P&L in a current market situations, they have
already started consolidating core skills back under CTO domain. It’s a matter of
time, when they will start looking back to basics”
GlobalSource: Statistica 2017
