Bharti Airtel is also in FMCG
TIL Bharti (owner of airtel) is also in FMCG. Del Monte Foods Private Limited is a 50:50 joint venture between Bharti Enterprises and Del Monte Pacific Limited 2010 - Bharti unveils FieldFresh in joint venture with Del Monte 2021 - FieldsFresh Foods renames itself ‘Del Monte Foods Private Limited’ This revenue diversification and risk mitigation strategy of Airtel makes even more sense in 2023 after how Jio, backed by Reliance's financial strength, came from nothing in 2016, exercised the ‘Power of Free’ market penetration strategy, and basically captured the telecom market.
