Airtel & Nokia Power India’s Tech Future
Nokia has teamed up with Bharti Airtel to make the operator’s network capabilities accessible to developers and enterprises nationwide. The collaboration leverages Nokia’s Network as Code platform and a dedicated developer portal, allowing third-party innovators to tap into Airtel’s pan-India network. Through this initiative, developers and businesses can access network functions via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) on a subscription basis, enabling the creation of advanced digital solutions that utilize 5G, AI, and edge computing technologies.
The platform aims to simplify complex telecom operations, allowing developers to integrate network functions without deep technical expertise. Following successful pilot trials, the program will expand to a broader set of participants, including system integrators and enterprises. The move is expected to generate new revenue streams for Airtel while fostering innovation across the Indian digital ecosystem.
This partnership marks a key step for Nokia’s Network as Code initiative, which seeks to streamline network access and monetization for telecom providers worldwide. Arvind Khurana, Head of Cloud and Network Services, India, said the initiative highlights Nokia’s commitment to helping telecom operators leverage their networks for innovation and revenue generation. Airtel Business CEO Sharat Sinha added that the collaboration reinforces the company’s vision of building a future-ready, developer-friendly ecosystem. Globally, the Network as Code platform already includes over 60 partners spanning telecommunications providers, AI and data centre firms, CPaaS providers, systems integrators, and independent software vendors.
