By prioritizing high-traffic areas, leveraging spectrum efficiently, and focusing on delivering a quality indoor experience, we’re building a future-proof, high-performance network. The addition of 1 lakh towers in six months and recognition for the best 4G experience underscores Vi’s commitment to delivering consistent, quality connectivity while creating long-term value for our customers.”

The film turns telecom towers into teammates, showing how our strong network, like a great cricket team, never drops the ball—or the signal. One lakh new towers, one rock-solid team. This is our strongest side yet.”
