Scandinavia-based Telenor has said that 2011 will be a decisive year for its India operation. “Our goal is to get back on the business plan next year in terms of revenues and cash flow,” said Sigve Brekke, chief executive officer, Uninor at Telenor’s investor meeting. “I am not going to say that we are confident. A year from now we’ll know what we’re able to do.”

He added that Uninor may meet its profitability target in three years although the company has been “humbled” by its setbacks.

Further, Brekke said that Uninor aims to become one of the top six companies in each of its circles and is close to that goal in several circles. After taking over from Stein Erik Vellan as CEO, he has changed managers in four circles where performance lagged and introduced a pricing plan that requires users to keep the Uninor SIM card in their phone to take advantage of fast-changing discounts.
