The average data consumption per user per month for Videocon Telecom is 239 MB whereas the industry average is just 220 MB.
Speaking about the growth, Arvind Bali, Director & CEO, Videocon Telecom, said, “I am often asked this interesting question by many industry specialists on us being a 2G player and our survival without offering 3G services when the industry is transforming towards 3G, and my answer would always be that there is room for everybody. I think we have been able to make a little more space for us by upgrading our network to 2.75G EDGE and creating a niche for ourselves. Our marketing team has been on their toes working on the 5 Ps of marketing, and strategizing to ensure we are in the race competing with the 3G players. I am delighted with the results and the fact that we have been able to surpass the industry trends. Even last year, our data growth was almost 3 times the industry growth at 126% against 42% that of the industry and the success continues.”
