Airtel,
Sri Lanka’s fifth mobile telecom operator launched
its services on Monday in grand style in tune with its
build up. Headed by one of India’s popular business
icons Sunil Bharti Mittal, Barati Airtel is investing
US$ 200 million to roll out its services and become market
leader in a year’s time though prospects are tough
given the fact that the mobile telecom industry is engaged
in fierce competition. Given the high hopes and strategic
venture, Mittal had a Presidential audience on Monday
and presented a memento to President Mahinda Rajapaksa
at Temple Tress. Minister Sarath Amunugama is also present
