"About Bharti: Founded in 1976, by Sunil Bharti Mittal, Bharti Enterprises (Holding) Private Limited (BEHPL) [popularly known as Bharti or Bharti Enterprises] has grown from being a manufacturer of bicycle parts to one of the largest and most respected business groups in India. With its entrepreneurial spirit and passion to undertake business projects that are transformational in nature, Bharti has created world-class businesses in telecom, financial services, retail and foods. Bharti started its telecom services business by launching mobile services in Delhi (India) in 1995. Since then there has been no looking back and Bharti Airtel, the group’s flagship company, has emerged as one of top telecom companies in the world and is amongst the top five wireless operators in the world.

In addition, the group also has mobile operations in Jersey, Guernsey. Over the past few years, the group has diversified into emerging business areas in the fast expanding Indian economy. With a vision to build India’s finest conglomerate by 2020 the group has forayed into the retail sector by opening retail stores in multiple formats – small and medium - as well as establishing large scale cash and carry stores to serve institutional customers and other retailers.
