Finally, the takeover process of Hutch by Vodafone is complete. UK Telecom major Vodafone had bought 67% stake in Hutchison Essar for around USD 11 billion. Well, the advertisements have started flashing the original Hutch boxer standing on a red carpet and instead of the usual Hutchison Essar logo its replaced by Vodafone Essar logo. The British telecom major has really taken a wise step by entering the lucrative Indian markets which are undergoing a mobile revolution. And when I mean revolution its really a REVOLUTION. Just yesterday, as I was travelling in a rickshaw, to my surprise the driver started speaking on his mobile handsfree earphone. I almost let out a gasp. If Vodafone needs to survive it has to cope up with the competitive rates, better networks and quality customer service. Once inside the Indian markets, it will have to face stiff competion from other telecom majors like Bharti Airtel, Tata Indicom and Reliance. Well, it has already taken a few steps which include cheaper roaming rates, better connectivity in villages........
Mr. Mittal, are you listening?
