U.S. telecom operator AT&T Inc. has not been much of a presence in India in recent years after exiting two of its domestic ventures, Idea Cellular Ltd (2005) and BPL Communications Ltd (2003). The company’s chairman and CEO, Randall Stephenson, accepts the difficulty of entering the Indian wireless business at this juncture but he hopes to find a start in his big U.S. customers who do a lot of business in India. [via Mint] AT&T will be handling the Indian telecommunication needs of General Motors and IBM. “As we scale this, as we get our footprints in order, you will see us move towards the Indian enterprises,” Stephenson said. He added that the company will be targeting not just large Indian enterprises but small and medium-sized businesses as well.
