Mobile phone operator, Bharti Airtel, became the first Indian telecom company to serve 50 million customers last month, and is now the world’s tenth largest wireless carrier.

Bharti has doubled its user base in the past 14 months alone, and hopes to reach 100 million subscribers by 2010, according to company executives.

“Our next 50 million will largely come from rural India as our plan is to reach 5,200 census towns and over five lakh villages, covering 96 per cent of the Indian population,” said Bharti Airtel president and CEO, Manoj Kohli, at a news conference this week.
