The company\u2019s predecessor, Econet <\/a>was the first telecoms operator to launch GSM services in Nigeria in 2001.<\/p>\n Airtel Nigeria is a subsidiary of the BhartiAirtel<\/a> which is the parent company of Airtel Nigeria. The company is located in India and was founded in 1996 by Sunil Bharti Mittal. Bharti was the first company in India to offer push button telephones when other companies were still using rotary phones.<\/p>\n Bharti launched its telecommunication services in 1995 in Delhi as Bharti Tele-Ventures but it was later rebranded to become Airtel.<\/p>\n Airtel has since grown to become one of India\u2019s largest telecoms operators.

This was the deal that made Airtel the fourth largest mobile telecoms operator in the world. Currently, Airtel is the third largest mobile operator<\/a> in the world.<\/p>\n Airtel was rebranded in 2010<\/a>. This was part of a global strategy and one of the effects of the rebranding was the change of the company\u2019s logo and the style of writing the company\u2019s name. Currently, the Airtel name is currently written in lower case. The rebranding was implemented in the Airtel Africa Group in November 2010.<\/p>\n In Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria is currently the third largest operator in the country with over 33 million subscribers as of November 2016.
