Connectivity, innovation, and trust in local capabilities are reshaping the nation's trajectory. A shining example of this ambition is the resurgence of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), which has joined hands with four global technology giants to create a future-ready telecom ecosystem.

BSNL's revival, with consecutive quarterly profits after 18 years, demonstrates its turnaround and relevance.

This initiative aims to transform India into a global hub for telecom research, advanced training, and innovation.
