machines, cordless phones and other telecom gear. In 1992, he successfully bid for one of the four mobile
phone network licences auctioned in India. He was one of the first Indian entrepreneurs to identify the mobile
telecom business as a major growth area. His plans were finally approved by the Government in 1994 and he
launched services in Delhi in 1995, when Bharti Cellular Limited (BCL) was formed to offer cellular services
