Our Strengths

Visionary Management team - We have a strong professional management team with a proven track-record. The management team conceptualized Infrastructure Sharing in India and have successfully led the growth of this company from less than 100 towers to become the largest Independent Infrastructure Company with 38,000 towers a presence across the country.
Creation of Shareholder Value - Viom Networks commenced commercial operations in 2005 and in 5 years is estimated to be over USD 5-6 bn. The ability of the management to create value is evident from the backing that the company has received from marquee international investors. Some of these include SBI Macquarie, Swedfund, Bio and IDFC.
Successful track record of partnerships with operators - We have successfully managed a transaction wherein we acquired 12,000 towers of Tata Teleservices in 2008-09. We maintained industry benchmark SLA during the seamless integration and transition of business processes, technology, employees and tower assets of Tata Teleservices.
Business and operational expertise - We operate and manage 38,000 towers in India highest standard of 'Quality of Services' (QoS) to our customers.
Project management and roll out capabilities - We can manage growth while maintaining quality. In 2009-10, we rolled out 16,000 towers in less than 12 months, a record un-matched by any other tower operator worldwide. This enabled Uninor (Telenor) to roll out a near pan-India coverage in less than a fifth of the time taken by its competitors.
Our capabilities to increase efficiencies - We know how to continuously build efficiencies while maintaining and improving network KPI's for our operator partner.
- As an example, we enabled a reduction in per site Capex by ~30% during the period April-Dec 2009.
- Our technology orientation enables efficiencies in Opex. E.g. Our Tower Operations Centre ('TOC') enables near 100% remote management of sites.
Strong Sales and Account Management - We have created value for Viom and have the highest tenancy ratio in the industry of 2.3 tenants per tower against an industry average of 1.60. We achieved this through:
- Strong Customer focus through account management teams.
- Network planning and engineering that enabled converging the network plans of 2 or more operators.
Focus on Learning and Development - As an organization we are focused on the development of our people. In Viom, we have created the world's first and only Tower University with learning modules on each segment of the business. This enables us to impart the collective knowledge within the organization to new teams as well as to further strengthen the concepts of existing teams and acts as a leadership development program for select employees.
