Tata Communications Limited is a leading Indian telecommunications and global digital ecosystem enabler that powers today’s fast-growing digital economy across more than 190 countries and territories. Headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, the company was originally incorporated by the Government of India in 1986 as Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL). Under the disinvestment program of the Indian government, the company was acquired by the Tata Group in 2002 and was officially rebranded as Tata Communications Limited on February 13, 2008. Today, it operates as a key subsidiary of the Tata Group, which holds a majority stake of approximately 58.87%, while the remaining shares are held by public investors. The company is publicly traded on both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India. The company's extensive infrastructure serves as a critical backbone for global internet traffic. Tata Communications operates the world’s largest wholly owned subsea fiber-optic cable network, spanning over 500,000 circuit kilometers, complemented by more than 200,000 kilometers of terrestrial fiber. This Tier-1 IP network carries approximately 30% to 35% of the world’s internet routes and connects businesses to 80% of the world's cloud giants. It also maintains relationships with over 600 mobile network operators, enabling connectivity for four out of five mobile subscribers worldwide. Tata Communications structures its business offerings around an integrated "digital fabric" that encompasses network services, cloud hosting, cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, and customer interaction solutions. Its comprehensive portfolio includes next-generation connectivity like SD-WAN, Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Communication Platform as a Service (CPaaS), and Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS). The company serves approximately 5,000 to 7,000 customers globally, including 300 of the Fortune 500 companies, multinational corporations, and digital native enterprises. Additionally, it provides specialized media and entertainment solutions, acting as the official broadcast connectivity partner for major international events such as Formula 1 and World Athletics. To fuel its global expansion and enhance its digital products, Tata Communications has pursued strategic mergers and acquisitions. Significant milestones include the acquisition of Teleglobe, BitGravity, and more recently in 2023, the completion of its acquisitions of the major CPaaS platform Kaleyra and video production firm The Switch. Financed by robust operations, the company recently surpassed the INR 20,000-crore revenue milestone, reporting a gross revenue of INR 24,803 crore for the fiscal year. Led by Managing Director and CEO Amur Lakshminarayanan, the company has maintained its position as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Global WAN Services for 13 consecutive years as of 2026, while also committing to sustainability targets verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
