The event will include a host of prominent speakers from the region – both from government and industry.

Prestigious speakers at the event include the Chairman of the India regulator, TRAI, who will be discussing how the regulatory environment in India is evolving to meet the needs of the local telecom market. Also participating in the conference will be senior level executives from leading service providers: Bharat Sanchar Nigam, Reliance Communications, and Bharti.

“India is a unique telecom market based on its rate of growth, and opportunities,” said Keith Willetts, Chairman of the TM Forum and Officiator of the event. “This summit will explore the current market in the Indian sub-continent but it will also debate what can be learned form markets around the world where growth has slowed as markets saturate. The summit is a great opportunity for international debate and exploring how TM Forum can better serve companies based in the region.”
