- Video Streaming & OTT Platforms
- Online Gaming
- Video Conferencing & Calls
- High-Speed Downloads & Cloud Access
Strengthening Network Capabilities
Vi’s 4G services have already been recognized for delivering exceptional performance in Mumbai, as confirmed by a recent OpenSignal report. With 5G now live, Vi is reinforcing its network to meet increasing demands for high-speed connectivity and bandwidth-intensive applications.
Financial Backing and Expansion Plans
Over the past year, Vi has successfully raised equity of approximately Rs. 26,000 Crore, including India’s largest FPO worth Rs. 18,000 Crore and promoter contributions of around Rs. 4,000 Crore. These funds will accelerate the company’s capital expenditure (capex) plans.
