Tejas Networks Limited is an India-based optical, broadband, and wireless networking products company headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Incorporated in April 2000, the company designs, develops, and manufactures high-performance, carrier-class equipment required for building telecommunication networks, including high-speed communication infrastructure that carries voice, data, and video traffic. Tejas Networks plays a significant role in India’s homegrown technology landscape, positioning itself as a core player in the "Design in India" and "Make in India" initiatives for telecommunications. The company operates through an asset-light manufacturing model in collaboration with global Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) partners. Its extensive product portfolio comprises xPON-based fiber broadband access (GPON/XGS-PON), converged packet optical transport (DWDM/OTN), packet transport networks (PTN), carrier Ethernet routing and switching (IP/MPLS routers), 4G/5G mobile radio access networks (RAN), converged 4G/5G core solutions, satellite communication devices, and direct-to-mobile broadcast technologies. These software-defined hardware platforms allow for customer-specific adaptations and product convergence. Tejas Networks serves telecommunications service providers, internet service providers, utility companies, defense forces, and government entities across more than 75 countries. Beyond its global footprints, the company has been a strategic partner in major public infrastructure and national networking projects in India, including the BharatNet rural broadband rollout, the National Knowledge Network (NKN), and extensive deployments for Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL). Notably, the company executed a massive pan-India 4G/5G RAN deployment for BSNL across 100,000 sites and upgraded its pan-India IP-MPLS-based Access and Aggregation Network. A heavily R&D-driven enterprise, Tejas Networks allocates a substantial portion of its resources to research and engineering, with over 65% of its workforce dedicated to developing intellectual property. This intense focus on innovation has resulted in a portfolio of over 600 global patents and numerous national and international awards. The company further broadened its technological depth through subsidiaries like Saankhya Labs, which specializes in satellite-IoT, 5G broadcast solutions, and semiconductor chip design. In July 2021, the Tata Group, through its subsidiary Panatone Finvest Limited, made a strategic investment in Tejas Networks, subsequently acquiring a majority shareholding to integrate the firm into its broader industrial and technology ecosystem. Tejas Networks is publicly traded on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in India. While the company achieved an operational revenue milestone of over INR 8,900 crore in the fiscal year 2025 due to large-scale network deployments, its subsequent fiscal year 2026 financial reports indicated a consolidation phase, reporting a net revenue of INR 1,103 crore. The company continues to be led by key executives, including CEO and MD Anand Athreya, alongside co-founders Arnob Roy and Dr. Kumar N. Sivarajan.
