Family Offices Reportedly Eyes Stake in Haier Appliances India Reliance Industries Limited (NSEI:RELIANCE) has emerged as a key contender for a significant stake in the Indian operations of China’s Haier, said people in the know. Haier is seeking to localise its consumer electronics and appliance manufacture business by roping in a homegrown strategic partner. The move pits Reliance Industries against a consortium that includes Sunil Mittal of the Bharti Group, among others, mirroring their competition in the telecommunications sector. Haier Appliances (India) P. Ltd, ranked third after LG and Samsung, had been considering a plan to dilute 25% - 51% equity, including an MG Motors-style structure, in which an Indian entity becomes the single largest shareholder. It has been seeking a $2 billion - $2.3 billion valuation, which includes a control premium, said the people cited. RIL entered the race after nonbinding offers were made at the beginning of the year. Its advisers have directly approached Haier’s headquarters in Qingdao, according to the people. Mittal too had gone to China a few weeks ago to meet the Haier top management, two industry executives said. It’s understood that the Reliance retail unit will be the vehicle for the potential acquisition, said the people cited. Reliance is keen on going solo, unlike the others, as of now, they said. It’s been building its own-brand business in electronics with licensed labels such as BPL and Kelvinator. Reconnect and Wyzr, brands that Reliance founded, have met with limited success.ET was first to report on December 25 that Mittal had formed a consortium with Warburg Pincus. In this battle of billionaires, the other groupings include TPG and the Burman family of Dabur; Goldman Sachs and the Amit Jatia family; and GIC of Singapore with BK Goenka of Welspun, after initially joining forces with Uday Kotak. The combine of the family office of Puneet Dalmia of the Dalmia Bharat Group and Bain Capital has opted out. Tillkännagivande • Apr 25

Airtel Confirms Talks with Tatas for DTH Biz Merger Bharti Airtel Limited (BSE:532454) has confirmed it is in talks with Tata Sons Private Limited (Tata Group) to explore merging their direct-to-home (DTH) businesses, Bharti Telemedia Limited (Airtel Digital TV), and Tata Play Limited. The proposed merger would create India’s largest pay-TV operator and one of the largest globally in terms of subscriber base. In a stock market disclosure on February 26, 2025, the Sunil Mittal-owned telecom operator said the two firms are in bilateral discussions to explore merger of Tata Group’s DTH business with Bharti Telemedia, a subsidiary of Airtel, “in a structure acceptable to all parties.” “The matter is at a discussion stage only,” it said. ET on 25 February 2025 had reported a rapid progress in negotiations for merging the two loss-making DTH operations. This development comes at a time when content consumption behaviour is undergoing a significant shift, and the broadcast sector is experiencing a consolidation. ET had also first reported on a possible Airtel Digital TV-Tata Play deal on October 8 last year. The proposed merger is likely to occur through a share-swap arrangement, with Airtel emerging as the majority partner, people aware of the negotiations told ET. Airtel is projected to own 52% - 55% of the combined entity, while Tata Play’s shareholders, including Walt Disney (The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)), would hold 45% - 48%, they said. Both sides are expected to finalise a heads of terms agreement in the coming days, initiating the due diligence process. According to sources, Disney will retain its stake in the merged entity, as the other shareholders are not planning a buyout at this stage. The US media conglomerate has been looking to exit the TV distribution business. The proposed merged entity is expected to be led by Airtel’s senior management, while Tata is seeking two board seats. Industry sources estimate the valuation of both DTH businesses at INR 60.00 billion - INR 70.00 billion. “This will be a non-binding agreement,” an executive had told ET. “But with both sides engaged for months, they should move fast to close out all the outstanding issues. For Tata, this has been a drag, and like telecom, they are striking an alliance with a group they are comfortable with.” Sources suggest both companies are committed to finalising the deal swiftly. “The goal is to wrap up the integration of the two companies this year itself,” an official said on condition of anonymity.

Plan Afoot for Singtel, Mittals to Equalise Direct Stake in Airtel Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SGX:Z74) (Singtel) and the Mittal family — the promoters of Bharti Airtel Limited (BSE:532454)— are preparing a plan for each of them to hold equal direct stakes in India’s second-largest telecom operator, said a top Singtel executive. Currently, Singtel directly owns 9.5% in Bharti Airtel through its affiliate, Pastel Ltd, while the Sunil Mittal-led promoter family holds a 3.31% direct stake through Indian Continent Investment Ltd. (ICIL), a promoter group entity. “…we will look to equalise our direct stakes over time. (While) we are in no hurry in equalising that stake, we are looking to do that in the medium term,” Arthur Lang, group chief financial officer at Singtel, told analysts during the company’s first half FY25 earnings call on November 13, 2024. Industry executives said the exercise is part of Singtel’s plans to boost shareholder returns and increase returns on invested capital. They added that the Singapore-based carrier has also set in motion a value unlocking strategy to raise funds for other ventures like data centres. Singtel and the Bharti Group did not respond to ET’s queries. Currently, Singtel and the Mittal family effectively own 29.44% and 23.7%, respectively, in Bharti Airtel through a mix of direct and indirect holdings. The indirect holdings are routed through Bharti Telecom Ltd. (BTL) — the main controlling company that owns 40.33% in Airtel. Singtel’s 29.44% effective holding in Airtel comprises a 9.5% direct stake via Pastel and a 19.94% indirect stake through BTL. Likewise, the Mittal family’s 23.7% overall holding in Airtel comprises a 3.31% direct stake via ICIL and a 20.39% indirect stake through BTL. The Mittal family-controlled Bharti Group and Singtel own 50.56% and 49.44% in BTL, respectively. If the direct stakes of both partners equalise at about 6% each and the shareholding structure of BTL and its 40.33% stake in Airtel remains unchanged, the Mittal family could potentially end up with a higher effective shareholding than Singtel in the New Delhi-based telco.

Airtel Business Partners with Zscaler to Launch 'Airtel Secure Digital Internet' Airtel Business, the B2B arm of Bharti Airtel, partnered with Zscaler to launch `Airtel Secure Digital Internet ' India's first, fully managed Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) based solution designed to protect enterprises from a wide range of cyber threats. Strengthening enterprise cybersecurity, `Airtel Secure Digital Internet' is a fully managed solution that integrates Airtel's Internet Leased Line (ILL) connectivity with Zscaler's cloud security technology & Security Service Edge (SSE) technology as well as Zscaler Internet AccessTM (ZIATM) to provide advanced security features such as comprehensive threat protection, SSL inspection, cloud firewall and secure access to cloud applications. Built on the core principle of `never trust, always verify the User, Device and Network' `Airtel Secure Digital Internet' will enable enterprises in India to navigate the complexities of the digital world by leveraging its unique capabilities in an effective, scalable and costefficient manner. India is at the forefront of technology innovation and adoption with enterprises, small and large, leading the way on a global scale. However, this exponential growth has also caught the attention of threat actors who are increasingly targeting local entities to launch attacks. For instance, according to Zscaler ThreatLabz, in the past year alone, Indian enterprises have seen over 79 million phishing attacks and more than 5 billion encrypted attacks, making India among the top three most targeted markets globally. Now, more than ever before, it is important for organizations in India to strengthen their cybersecurity while managing multivendor security stacks, budget constraints, skill gaps and time to market issues. The zero trust architecture of `Airtel Secure Digital Internet' reduces attack surfaces while simplifying security management by centralising policy enforcement. Its inherent cloud native security ensures consistent protection for users across all locations. The scalable, cloud based platform also eliminates the need for costly hardware, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership. To further optimise its network performance and minimise latency, Airtel has also strategically enhanced its Internet Points of Presence (PoPs) through the integration of Zscaler's advanced security stack. As a distinguished Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) partner of Zscaler, Airtel is equipped to deliver comprehensive managed services, encompassing the entire security lifecycle--from initial deployment to continuous, premium grade support. Enterprises can now leverage Airtel's extensive, panIndia Internet Leased Line (ILL) connectivity to achieve secure, consistent connectivity across all their office locations.

Bharti Airtel Launches AI-Powered Network Solution for SPAM Detection Bharti Airtel on September 25, 2024 launched India's first network-based, AI-powered spam detection solution that will significantly solve the issue of spam calls and messages for its customers. A first-of-its-kind solution by a telecom service provider in the country, the tool will alert customers in real-time to all suspected spam calls and SMSes. The solution is free of cost and will get auto-activated for all Airtel customers without them having to raise a service request or download an app. Developed in-house by Airtel's data scientists, the AI-powered solution uses a proprietary algorithm to identify and classify calls and SMSes as Suspected SPAM. The network powered by AI algorithm analyses various parameters such as the caller or sender's usage patterns, call/SMS frequency, call duration amongst several others, on a real time basis. By cross-referencing this information against known spam patterns, the system flags suspected spam calls and SMSes accurately. Additionally, the solution also alerts customers to malicious links received via SMS. For this, Airtel has built a centralised database of blacklisted URLs and every SMS is scanned in real time by a AI algorithm to caution users from accidently clicking on suspicious links. The solution can also detect anomalies such as frequent IMEI changes - a typical indicator of fraudulent behavior. By layering these protective measures, the company is ensuring its customers receive maximum level of defense against the evolving landscape of spam and fraud threats. Tillkännagivande • Aug 22
