Airtel’s Digital Market Strategy:
Airtel is going beyond conventional telecom services with this new plan. Airtel is indicating a move away from merely providing mobile connectivity by working with JioCinema to create a digital ecosystem. This is in line with the expanding practice of “platform bundling”, in which telecom providers improve customer experience by fusing connectivity and content. This action aims to increase brand stickiness and long-term customer engagement.
Notice:
Although the “validity up to 90 days” may be mentioned in some advertising materials, the JioCinema premium subscription lasts for three months, while the actual validity of this recharge plan is seven days.
