Airtel rolls out #5Gforbusiness with global firms and leading brands
Mumbai: Bharti Airtel has rolled out the #5Gforbusiness initiative to demonstrate a wide range of enterprise-grade use cases using high speed and low latency networks.
As part of the initiative, Airtel is joining forces with leading global consulting and technology companies such as Accenture, AWS, CISCO, Ericsson, Google Cloud, Nokia, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to work with industry-leading brands such as Apollo Hospitals, Flipkart, and several leading manufacturing companies to test 5G based solutions.
These solutions will be deployed on the 5G test spectrum allotted to Airtel and include use cases like smart factory, smart healthcare, 5G powered quality inspection, digital twin, connected frontline workforce, and AR/VR based use cases amongst others. The use case demonstrations will be conducted both at end-user locations and at Airtel’s advanced 5G lab in the network experience centre at Manesar (Gurgaon).
“The 5G ecosystem will open limitless possibilities for enterprises to enhance productivity and serve their customers even better with digitally enabled applications,” said Bharti Airtel chief technology officer Randeep Singh Sekhon. “We are delighted to work with our strategic technology partners and some of our enterprise customers to start testing real-life 5G applications of the future. This also offers tremendous learnings across the value chain and lays a solid foundation for future application roadmap.”
Earlier this year Airtel demonstrated India’s first 5G experience over a live 4G network. It has also demonstrated India’s first rural 5G trial as well as the first cloud gaming experience on 5G. Airtel is also spearheading the O-RAN Alliance initiatives in India to build 5G solutions. It has already announced partnerships with Tata Group, Qualcomm, Intel, Mavenir, and Altiostar.

Bullet microdrama app crosses 10 million downloads on Play Store
Top shows clock millions of views as platform expands across 7 languages
MUMBAI: Short, sharp and shooting ahead, Bullet microdrama app is proving that in the age of shrinking attention spans, brevity isn’t just the soul of wit, it’s the engine of growth. The platform has crossed 10 million downloads on the Google Play Store, marking a significant milestone as microdramas carve out a firm space in India’s fast-evolving digital entertainment ecosystem. The surge reflects a growing appetite for snackable, high-impact storytelling, with Bullet leaning heavily into quick, engaging narratives that resonate across diverse audiences.
The traction is visible not just in downloads but in content performance. Among its top titles, Rickshaw Romeo leads the pack with 9.1 million views, followed by Auto Raja at 3.4 million, Laxmi Raj at 2.6 million, Lady Boss, With Love at 2.2 million, and Dear Didimoni at 1.9 million. The numbers point to a platform steadily building repeat engagement rather than one-hit virality.
Beyond the app, Bullet’s digital footprint is also expanding. The platform has crossed 100,000 followers on Instagram, signalling a growing community that extends beyond passive viewing into active content discovery and sharing.
A key differentiator lies in its linguistic spread. With content available across 7 Indian languages, Bullet is positioning itself as one of the more inclusive players in the microdrama space, tapping into regional storytelling to drive scale and relevance simultaneously.
The milestone comes at a time when short-format storytelling is gaining serious momentum, with platforms experimenting to balance volume, novelty and retention. Bullet’s early traction suggests that audiences are not just scrolling, they’re sticking around, one bite-sized episode at a time.
