Airtel Cloud customer count touches about 40; manufacturing firms account for quarter

New Delhi: Bharti Airtel’s homegrown cloud platform has signed up around 40 customers within a year, with manufacturing companies accounting for about a quarter of its clientele, as the telecom major looks to tap growing demand for sovereign cloud infrastructure from Indian enterprises, according to sources.

The latest tally reflects a steady expansion of the cloud business since its launch in August 2025, when Airtel’s digital subsidiary Xtelify rolled out Airtel Cloud, a sovereign, telco-grade cloud platform designed for Indian companies.

The cloud customers count has touched about 40 in all, and nearly 25 per cent of these are manufacturing customers, sources said.
