GTPL Broadband names Vivek Raina CEO
Former Excitel chief takes charge as GTPL targets growth across B2C and B2B
NEW DELHI: GTPL is looking to dial up growth, and it has brought in a broadband veteran to help make the connection. GTPL Broadband has appointed Vivek Raina as its new chief executive officer, tasking him with steering the company’s next phase of expansion across consumer and enterprise markets.
Raina joins the company after serving as co-founder and chief executive officer of Excitel Broadband, where he helped build one of India’s notable broadband brands. With more than 25 years of experience spanning product development, operations and channel-led growth, he brings deep industry expertise to the role.
In his new position, Raina will lead GTPL Broadband’s growth strategy across both B2C and B2B businesses. His mandate includes expanding the company’s footprint in existing and new markets, enhancing customer experience and introducing additional digital services as competition intensifies in India’s broadband sector.
The appointment comes at a time when demand for high-speed internet continues to grow across households, businesses and digital-first enterprises. Broadband providers are increasingly focusing on service quality, customer retention and value-added digital offerings to differentiate themselves in a crowded market.
Before his entrepreneurial stint at Excitel Broadband, Raina held leadership roles at several major telecom and cable companies, including Digicable, Reliance Communications and Hathway. His career has spanned multiple phases of India’s telecom and broadband evolution, giving him firsthand experience in scaling networks, distribution and customer-centric services.
Industry observers view the move as a strategic step for GTPL as broadband consumption continues to rise, fuelled by streaming, remote work, online education and cloud-based services. The company’s focus on both consumer and enterprise segments suggests a broader ambition to strengthen its position across the digital connectivity ecosystem.
With a seasoned industry hand now at the helm, GTPL Broadband is betting that its next growth chapter will be built on stronger networks, broader reach and a sharper focus on customer experience. In a market where speed matters, the company appears determined not to stand still.
