In recent years, the telecommunications industry has worked tirelessly to keep the Indian economy and society functioning. Not only the economy but also the overall development of a country depends on a robust communication network. In 1995 private players were admitted to the sector. Since then, Indian telecommunications companies have continued to push the boundaries of innovation. Also contributing to this is Sumant Kant Kaul, an entrepreneur who has established himself as an all-rounder and has mastered this by learning and implementing services such as strategic planning, team building, management consulting, project management, leadership development, marketing strategy and training, all together with leading the telecommunications market from scratch by opening its Delhi, NCR, UP and Maharashtra offices in the 1990s to support mobile operators like Airtel and BPL Cellular Ltd now Vodafone

Sumant Kant Kaul also advised Lars Eric Wheelborg, the factory director of Ericsson Telecom in India, which was the technology supplier to Bharti Airtel and Birla AT&T.

Telephony in India has come a long way. Sumant Kant Kaul, Founder CMD of Hitech Cellular and Paging Services P Ltd., is a mechanical engineer who redesigned this area of ​​telephony with his impeccable marketing planning.

He introduced programs to subsidize cell phones and incoming and outgoing calls significantly when the incoming call tariff was officially INR 16.8. Sumant, on his part, gave telecom operators checks for inbound call subsidies that could be used by customers, which paved the way for the telecom industry boom, and made incoming calls free to the general public and outgoing calls to Re for a considerable period of time 1 per minute 1997-98, while it wasn’t officially implemented by the government until 2003.

Telecommunications is perhaps the greatest engine of global economic growth, and Sumant Kant Kaul envisioned in 1995 that everyone from street vendors, housekeepers and farmers to rickshaw drivers should have the services that would make the country possible to network economically and move forward. He brought many innovative marketing programs such as the connection to Airtel and BPL Cellular US West in the Hitech showrooms and collected a free diamond pendant and even initiated free gift vouchers in 3/4 star hotels, gold-plated Ray-Ban glasses and free cell phones to encourage people in Delhi and Maharashtra to subscribe to Airtel and BPL Cellular US West, now known as Vodafone Idea.

Sumant Kant Kaul’s innovative idea of ​​offering free incoming and outgoing calls at Re 1 per minute preferred the decision of the middle class and the lower middle class to the Indian population and thus paved the way for the gigantic economic boom in our country.

Sumant Kant Kaul says, “Much of the credit goes to telecommunications wizards such as Sunil Bharti Mittal and Rajan Bharti Mittal from Airtel, Rajeev Chandershekran from BPL Cellular, Mukesh Ambani from Reliance and their executive Samuel Selvakumar who became President of Vodafone, Suneel Vohra GM Airtel, Sanjay Kapoor CEO Airtel, N.Arjun “.

The telecommunications industry has evolved from 2G to 5G. While India is on the way to unlocking its digital future, rural areas are still unaware of the miracles that happen at the push of a button. Since it is technically and economically not feasible for rural areas to adapt to these changes, it is important to develop a blueprint that makes it easier for them to use them.

Sumant Kaul is a mechanical engineer who began his career in the 1980s at Cummins Ltd, the world’s largest manufacturer of high-speed diesel engines. He learned the precision that is required in this area. His efforts to work with laudable business tycoons earned him the hands-on experience of starting his own business and various prominent contracts with the Prime Minister’s Office, Parliament Building, Border Security, Central Reserve Police, Nuclear Research Laboratory, CBI and Police Headquarters complete Delhi, Tihar Jail and Indian Railways and many more under different Indian government ministries.

Sumant Kant Kaul brought the advanced technologies with him and practically used them to fix failures in the high-speed diesel engines, the locomotives, dump trucks, bulldozers, excavators, cranes used in nation building such as dams, roads and buildings, and captive power plants with diesel generators, it predict predictive maintenance, where it could scientifically predict an engine failure before it could occur. This helped customers save millions and downtime that would have resulted in lost production and also huge costs for the machines due to a failed motor.

Sumant Kaul is also a black belt in judo and the Ex All India Champion. He also won the Prof. Jigaro Kano International Judo Championship with a victory over Sri Lanka.

The telecommunications maestro, with a firm mind to make a difference for society, made sure his works enabled the communities to grow. As part of various industries, Sumant Kant Kaul has built a reputation that leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets. His persistent efforts have allowed the country to push the boundaries of innovation and bring the country one step closer to the city.
