History
The company Unitech Wireless was until 2009 a subsidiary of Unitech Group, holding a wireless services license for 21 Indian telecom circles since 2008. In early 2009, Unitech Group and Telenor agreed on a majority take-over by Telenor of Unitech's wireless business, including Unitech Wireless' national-wide mobile licence. By March, May and November, Telenor acquired a 33%, 49% and 60% stake in Unitech Wireless, respectively. In September, the mobile operation changed it's name to Uninor. On October 19 the Indian Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) announced that it has approved Telenor's acquisition of up to 74% in Unitech Wireless, and the shareholder's agreement sets a 67,25% Telenor ownership in Uninor.[3]
[edit] Uninor's strategy
Uninor is India's eighth nation-wide mobile operator, in a competitive landscape of 13 nation-wide or regional mobile operators. The company is targeting an 8 % pan-Indian market share, and the opening of one million retail points and breaking even on EBITDA within three years.[4] It will provide mobile communication and Value Added Services.
In order to reduce time-to-market, Uninor will outsource infrastructure and back-end services to partner organizations with established core competencies.[5] The operational model is low-cost with a gradual network-build up, infrastructure sharing, GSM equipment at competitive cost, full-scale IT-outsourcing and a long term cost and capex efficiency.
Uninor will organise with headquarters just outside Delhi (Gurgaon), and 11 regional hubs covering one or more of the total of 22 telecom circles. Hub head offices are located in the following cities:
* Chennai - Chennai, Tamil Nadu & Kerala Circle
* Bangalore - Karnataka Circle
* Hyderabad - Andhra Pradesh Circle
* Kolkata - Kolkata, West Bengal & Orissa Circle
* Delhi / Noida (NCR) - Delhi, Western Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand & Rajasthan Circle
* Patna - Bihar & Jharkhand Circle
* Mumbai - Mumbai, Maharashtra & Gujarat Circle
* Lucknow
* Guwahati
* Chandigarh
* Indore
