“The collaboration with Bharti Enterprises and Warburg Pincus marks an important milestone in Haier India’s development journey,” Haier said in the statement.

The strategic partnership fully embodies Haier’s approach of “serving globalisation with global capabilities and advancing globalisation through localisation.”

The deal further diversifies Bharti Enterprises’ portfolio beyond its core telecom business led by Bharti Airtel. The group also has interests in telecom towers through Indus Towers, satellite communications via Eutelsat-OneWeb, insurance through its Bharti AXA Life Insurance joint venture, and real estate and hospitality through Bharti Realty.
