Future Prospects: The competition from Reliance Jio is tremendous. Though the company is entered into the Payment bank business, it is difficult to say that Customers like me will not go to Paytm and will come to Airtel. There is Indus Tower and, Bharti Infotel, Airtel DTH, but their contribution to revenue is not significant. Debt piling is a critical issue; the cost of Spectrum Auctions and other fixed fees are billions of dollars. The only thing which can help the company is Soft-bank and its $100 billion Vision fund, as they intend to invest in the company directly or indirectly.
