As India’s leading and the first telecom industry magazine, Voice&Data has been chronicling the journey of the telecom ecosystem in India since the first telecom policy was announced to open up the sector. The publication has been an industry voice, actively highlighting its achievements, underlining the challenges and advocating for policy updates and changes, playing an independent role of the fourth pillar to drive and influence factors of growth. The CyberMedia Group publication has also been motivating the industry to do more, better and innovate by recognizing the leaders and trailblazers.
Keeping up with its tradition, Voice&Data brings to you the 20th edition of annual Telecom Leadership Forum and Awards – a meeting of the telecom leaders and other key stake holders from India and across. It is a platform to meet, discuss, and explore new and emerging business models, technology options, revenue streams and changing customer expectations. Over the years, the platform has also evolved as the confluence of policymakers, thinktank, and the executioners to come together and set the direction for the growth of the industry.
Connect with Decision Makers and Influencers of Telecom ecosystem.
