The new brand identity is built to be strong, ever-dependable, agile, intuitive and a brand in tune with the needs of the customers in these ever-changing times. It is designed to help customers move ahead in life, for a better today and a brighter tomorrow.
Launching the new brand, Ravinder Takkar, MD & CEO, Vodafone Idea Limited said, “Vodafone Idea came together as a merged entity two years ago. We have, since then focussed on integrating two large networks, our people and processes. And today I am delighted to present Vi, a brand that will bring important meaning to lives of our customers. Indians are optimistic and want to get ahead in life. They would love a credible partner to help them on this journey. Vi’s positioning is built around this promise and will focus on meeting the customer needs to help them thrive.”
The brand integration not only marks the completion of the largest telecom merger in the world but also sets us on our future journey to offer world class digital experiences to 1 Billion Indians on our strong 4G network. The new brand signifies our desire not just to deliver, but delight our customers, stakeholders, communities and our employees and signals our passion and commitment to be a Champion for Digital India. With Vi we are confident of building a brand that continues to command respect and trust, and will be admired and loved by all. We look forward to your continued support as we get ready to deliver a superior Vi experience,” added Ravinder Takkar.
Commenting on the new brand, Kavita Nair, chief digital transformation and brand officer, Vodafone Idea, said, “Vi leverages the strength of two of India’s most loved brands, Vodafone and Idea.

“India is the second largest telecom market and the largest data consumer, globally. With 1.2 Bn Indians accessing voice and data services at the world’s lowest tariffs across 5 lakh villages, the ubiquitous wireless network in India is unmatched for its reach and impact in people’s lives. With our new brand -Vi, we stand committed to partner the Government to accelerate India’s progression towards a digital economy, enabling millions of citizens to connect to the digital revolution and build a better tomorrow,” noted Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman, Aditya Birla Group and Vodafone Idea Ltd.
Meanwhile, Vodafone Group Plc CEO Nick Read said, “This is an important next step to launch our new unified business under a new unified brand, Vi. Back in 2018, the combination of Vodfaone India and Idea created the new champion for the government’s vision of Digital India. As the integration of the two business is complete, it’s time for a fresh start. That’s why we believe that now is the perfect time to launch Vi, one company which combines the strengths of Vodafone India and Idea. Vi’s focus will be to deliver to citizens and businesses in India a superior network experience, better customer service and leading products and services.”
