'BSNL is eyeing to enter the IoT space'

Rajesh Kumar, Sr General Manager (NB) – BSNL

“BSNL was corporatized in 2000 and prior to that it was part of the Dept of Telecom. After that we have traversed a journey of 17 years. When we started, we started as an old generation enterprise, but now we are trying to become a next generation enterprise by adopting the latest generation technologies, by associating itself in different areas which are very relevant to the current conditions. We are known as a telecom service provider but we have taken a lot of initiatives to enter into the area of IoT, digitization as well as Smart City initiatives of the Govt. of India. We are also trying to associate ourselves with the common people of the country. We have got a huge infrastructure and our presence is throughout the country. We have started from landline business and today we are virtually offering all types of telecom solutions required by the subscribers and enterprise customers.”

Being the champion in the conceptualization of getting new business opportunities in BSNL, Rajesh Kumar was speaking at the 15th VARINDIA INFOTECH FORUM held in New Delhi on 25th May on various business perspectives. The VARINDIA INFOTECH FORUM entered its 15th year by bringing together the who’s who of the ICT industry, IT consultants and senior government officials and PSUs and setting up a platform for a day-long event consisting of power-packed sessions of technical presentations, panel discussions and discourses on issues impacting the technology landscape and, most importantly, business networking.
