Telenor Pakistan crosses 30 Million subscriber mark

As the country’s second largest mobile operator, Telenor Pakistan grew in 2011-2012 by adding subscribers at a growth rate of 12 percent. Telenor achieved this milestone after less than eight years of operation in Pakistan.

Employees and customers contribute to success

“Our success is attributable first and foremost to the dedicated employees of Telenor Pakistan who exhibit ‘ karo mumkin’ philosophy in their daily work.   An equally important role is played by our distribution network and business partners.  We mustn’t forget the regulatory framework in Pakistan that promotes fair and competitive environment, which has helped our country leapfrog others in mobile phone penetration and allowing tens of millions of people in Pakistan to take advantage of the benefits of mobile communications.  And last but not least, we thank the 30 million customers who show their support by choosing Telenor for their communications needs,” said Aamir Ibrahim, Chief Marketing Officer, Telenor Pakistan.

Telenor Pakistan is Pakistan’s largest European investor, having brought in an investment of more than USD two billion. Telenor has previously won the Best Place to Work Award from Pakistan Society of HR Management & Engage Human Resources, and Telenor Pakistan’s branchless banking solution “easypaisa” has been lauded both locally and internationally for its success in banking the unbanked. Recently Telenor Pakistan was awarded the Telenor Group performance award for being the business unit that has best strengthened its market position.
