Mats Granryd, Director General of the GSMA, said Vittal's knowledge and experience make him well-positioned to lead the Board and the industry through the current challenges and opportunities, including how to leverage AI and complete 5G for new business models and revenue streams.
This honor follows the announcement in 2024 that His Majesty The King had graciously conferred the Honorary Knighthood upon Mittal for his significant contributions to UK-India business relations, as stated by the British High Commission in New Delhi.
As the industry grapples with the challenges of infrastructure modernisation and the increasing demand for high-speed connectivity, such investments could play a crucial role in shaping the future of British telecoms.
