Airtel’s fight against fraud reduces financial losses for its customers by nearly 70%
Data from Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center shows remarkable impact
Jammu, 16 September 2025: Bharti Airtel today announced that its anti-fraud initiatives have resulted in a significant decline in cybercrime complaints, and that this has been further endorsed by recent information from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) — Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
According to the MHA-I4C, there has been a staggering 68.7% decrease in the value of financial losses and a 14.3% drop in overall cybercrime incidents on the Airtel network, thereby validating the efficacy of Airtel’s fraud detection solutionin curbing cybercrime and creating a safe network for its customers.The data analyzed by MHA-I4C compares key cybercrime indicators from September 2024—prior to the launch ofAirtel’s Fraud & spam detection solution—with those from June 2025.
Commenting on the initiative, Gopal Vittal, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Bharti Airtel, said, “We are on a mission ofeliminating Spam and financial frauds for our customers.In the past one year, our AI-powered network solutions have identified over 48.3 billion spam calls and blocked 3.2 lakhs fraudulent links. However,we see this as small steps in a much larger fight. We will continue to innovate and invest heavily in this area until our networks are free of digital spam and scam.”
“The impact shared by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) - Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) encourages us tremendously and validates our efforts in this mission. I would like to commend the MHA I4C and DoT for their initiatives to curb spam and fraud and we will look forward to collaborating deeply with the authorities to eliminate the threats of cyber-crimes & frauds.”,Vittal added.
In September 2024, in a pioneering move to curb the country’s spam menace, the company launched India’s first network-based AI-powered Spam detection solution. It went a significant way towards solving the growing menace of spam calls and messages. The solution remains a first-of-its-kind solution by a telecom service provider in the country, to alert customers in real-time to all suspected spam calls and SMSes. In continuation to this, in May 2025 the company unveiled world’s first, solution that detects and blocks malicious links across all forms of communication on its network, in real time. This safe service has been seamlessly integrated with, and auto-enabled for all Airtel mobile and broadband customers at no additional cost. The findings of the I4C analysis highlight the effectiveness of these proactive measures by Airtel for its customers.

NIPPON INDIA MUTUAL FUND SETS NEW MILESTONE ONLY AMC TO ESTABLISH BRANCH IN LEH, LADAKH

Leh, 01 August 2025 – Nippon Life India Asset Management Limited (NAM India), asset manager of Nippon India Mutual Fund (NIMF), one of the India's largest asset managers, today announced the opening of its new branch in Leh, Ladakh. This marks a significant milestone for the mutual fund industry as NIMF becomes the only asset management company in the country to establish a physical presence in such a high-altitude region.

This milestone marks NAM India’s 167th branch and extends our presence to 266 pin codes across the country, underscoring our commitment to democratizing access to investments, especially in underserved and remote regions.

Ladakh, a Union Territory known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage, has seen a surge in tourism and economic activity in recent years. However, the region's financial landscape remains relatively underdeveloped, with limited access to a diverse range of investment products.

General Ved Prakash Malik (Retd.), Independent Director at Nippon Life India Asset Management Ltd. says, “Leh holds a unique place in India’s national consciousness—not just for its altitude and terrain, but for its strategic and cultural significance. Nippon India Mutual Fund’s decision to set-up a branch here goes beyond financial services—it’s a signal of confidence in Ladakh’s local spirit and the aspirations of our armed forces, veterans, and civilian communities alike. By supporting financial inclusion in a region known for its strength and diversity, NIMF is enabling dreams to grow in soil that has long stood strong for the nation.”

The average assets under management (AAUM) in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh is ₹10,844 crore as of June 2025 which still accounts for less than ~0.14% of India’s total mutual fund assets. In contrast, India’s overall mutual fund AAUM reached an impressive ₹74.80 lakh crore as of June 2025. With a presence in Leh, Ladakh, NIMF aims to bridge the financial literacy gap, develop a healthy Mutual Fund ecosystem and offer local residents the opportunity to participate in the Indian capital markets.

Sundeep Sikka, ED and CEO of Nippon Life India Asset Management Ltd, expresses, “We are excited to expand our footprint to Leh, Ladakh—a region with immense potential. Today, Nippon India Mutual Fund is present in 100% of districts and 97% of pin codes across India. We continue to deepen our reach because we believe every Indian deserves to participate in the country’s growth story and journey towards financial inclusion. We’re proud to be the only asset management company in the mutual fund industry with a physical presence in Leh, reinforcing our commitment to empowering investors in every corner of the nation.”

In a landmark initiative aimed at promoting financial literacy among the armed forces, an Investor Awareness Program (IAP) was successfully conducted for 300 Army personnel on the same day as the launch of a new branch. This strategic move reinforces our commitment to making quality investments accessible to maximum investors in every corner of the country.

We aim to contribute to the region's economic growth and empower individuals to achieve their financial goals. Financialization of savings through increased participation of retail investors in mutual funds is a key focus area and our large base of unique investors is testimony of the efforts in that direction. As India's economy continues to flourish, we remain dedicated to providing innovative investment options that cater to the evolving needs of our investors."

With increasing investor awareness and improving access, Jammu & Kashmir is showing promising signs of financial inclusion. The region’s average assets under management (AAUM) grew from ₹8,703 crore in June 2024 to ₹10,825 crore in June 2025—a healthy 24% year-on-year rise. NIMF presence in Leh will help create financial literacy and awareness for potential future investors.

India's financial instruments is rapidly expanding, with over 19Cr demat accounts and 9.19Cr systematic investment plans (SIPs) recorded as of June 2025. This robust growth, coupled with SIP AUM reaching a record ₹15.30 lakh crore as of June 2025, is a strong indicator of increasing financialization across the country.

However, far-flung area like Leh and Kargil, significant challenges regarding financial literacy persist. Nippon India Mutual Fund is dedicated to addressing these challenges. The establishment of only Mutual Fund branch in Leh is not just a business expansion; it represents a commitment to financial inclusion and empowerment in one of India's most picturesque yet underserved regions.
