Commenting on the market forces driving Indian telecom industry, Satya N Gupta, said, “Indian telecom sector has been in turmoil during the year, due to VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambigous) nature as well as the onslaught by some disruptive business models. But it has resulted into more good than harm for the consumers, who are getting almost everything for free. Growth of the sector has not slowed down in any manner, though it is more skewed towards data services, as is natural.”
