The stock is up by 50 per cent in just 1 year and has given multibagger returns of 260 per cent in 5 years.
Bharti Airtel has revolutionized the process of obtaining a new SIM card through a groundbreaking partnership with Blinkit, the rapid delivery platform. This innovative collaboration allows customers in 16 major Indian cities to receive their Airtel SIM cards at their doorstep within an astonishing ten minutes. This first-of-its-kind service from a telecommunications provider significantly streamlines the customer experience, eliminating the need for in-store visits and long waiting times. For a minimal convenience fee of ₹49, users can now seamlessly transition to the Airtel network or acquire a new connection from the comfort of their homes, marking a significant leap forward in customer convenience within the telecom sector.
The process is designed for swiftness and security. Upon receiving the SIM card, customers can activate their new number through a simple and secure self-KYC process leveraging Aadhaar-based authentication. This digital approach ensures a hassle-free activation experience without the need for physical documentation. Airtel provides customers with the flexibility to choose from a range of postpaid and prepaid plans, as well as the option to initiate Mobile Number Portability (MNP) for those wishing to join the Airtel network while retaining their existing number. To further simplify the activation, customers can access an online link and a helpful activation video, ensuring a smooth and intuitive process.
Airtel has also prioritized customer support to complement this new service. All Airtel customers have access to the Airtel Thanks App help center for any assistance they may require during or after the activation process. New customers needing support can directly contact the provided helpline number. It is important to note that customers must activate their delivered SIM card within a 15-day window to ensure a seamless transition. This strategic partnership between Airtel and Blinkit, initially available across major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, and Kolkata, among others, signifies Airtel's commitment to leveraging technology for enhanced customer convenience and accessibility.
