MoS Telecom @PemmasaniOnX
Urges Telecom companies to take the following steps.
One: Strengthen KYC - re-verification when flagged
must happen in days, not months
- Two: Move the Calling Name Presentation framework
from pilot to full deployment
-Three: Improve TSP-level filtering of spoofed
international calls at the gateway — this remains the
single largest attack vector
-Four: Make intelligence-sharing between TSPs — on
SIM-farm patterns and bulk SMS aggregator abuse
a routine practice. @ConnectCOAI
At the COAI DIGICOM Summit 2026, in his Chairperson Address, Mr. Abhijit Kishore, Chief Executive Officer, Vodafone Idea and Chairperson, COAI, underscored that India is living through what the Hon’ble Prime Minister has termed the ‘Techade’—a defining decade where technology will shape the nation’s economic destiny.
He highlighted that the telecom sector has been the backbone of India’s digital transformation, delivering connectivity, scale and affordability at a globally unmatched level. As the sector now stands at an inflection point, he noted a shift from a phase driven by rapid expansion and access to one focused on sustainability, resilience, and differentiation.
He further emphasised that continued investments in capacity, quality, security, and innovation are critical to maintaining a robust telecom ecosystem. He also reiterated the importance of constructive engagement between the government, regulatory bodies, and industry stakeholders to support India’s broader digital ambitions.
