Sunil Mittal

Sunil Bharti Mittal was born in Ludhiana, Punjab into an Agarwal family.{{cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/the-leisure-lounge/lunch-with-rajan-bharti-mittal/articleshow/3150529.cms?from=mdr|publisher=economictimes.com|title=Lunch with Rajan Bharti Mittal}} His father, Sat Pal Mittal, had been a Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha (Indian National Congress) from Ludhiana, Punjab. He first joined the Wynberg Allen School in Mussoorie,{{cite book|last=Mittal|first=Airtel|title=Pesu!|date=July 2008|edition=Tamil|publisher=Kizhakku|isbn=978-81-8368-864-2|page=14}} but later attended Scindia School at Gwalior and he graduated in 1976 from Panjab University, Chandigarh, with a Bachelor of Arts and Science for which he studied in Arya College, Ludhiana.{{cite web |url= https://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/10/billionaires-2009-richest-people_Sunil-Mittal-family_EM57.html |title= The World's Billionaires|date= 11 March 2009 |work= Forbes |access-date=1 April 2010}} His father died of cardiac arrest in 1992.

A first-generation entrepreneur, Sunil started his first business in April 1976{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU39b9g1oOo | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706081032/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU39b9g1oOo| archive-date=2014-07-06 | url-status=dead|via=YouTube|title=Sunil Mittal TimesNow interview|access-date=1 April 2010}} at the age of 18, with a capital investment of {{INRConvert|20000}} borrowed from his father. His first business was to make crankshafts for local bicycle manufacturers.{{cite news |url= https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/01/22/8397979/index2.htm |title= Wireless Wonder: India's Sunil Mittal |author= Clay Chandler |date= 17 January 2007 |publisher= CNN |access-date=1 April 2010}}

In 1980, he along with his brothers Rakesh Mittal and Rajan Mittal started an Import Enterprise named Bharti Overseas Trading Company. He sold his bicycle parts and yarn factories and moved to Mumbai. In 1981, he purchased importing licenses from exporting companies in Punjab. He then imported thousands of Suzuki Motors's portable electric-power generators from Japan. The importing of generators was suddenly banned by the then Indian Government.

In 1984, he started assembling push-button phones in India, which he earlier used to import from a Taiwan company, Kingtel, replacing the old fashioned, bulky rotary phones that were in use in the country then. Bharti Telecom Limited (BTL) was incorporated and entered into a technical tie up with Siemens AG of Germany for the manufacture of electronic push button phones. By the early 1990s, Sunil was making fax machines, cordless phones and other telecom gear. Sunil says, "In 1983, the government imposed a ban on the import of gensets. I was out of business overnight. Everything I was doing came to a screeching halt. I was in trouble. The question then was: what should I do next? Then, opportunity came calling. While in Taiwan, I noticed the popularity of the push-button phone – something which India hadn't seen then. We were still using those rotary dials with no speed dials or redials. I sensed my chance and embraced the telecom business. I started marketing telephones, answering/fax machines under the brand name Beetel and the company picked up really fast.". He named his first push-button phones as 'Mitbrau'.

In 1992, he successfully bid for one of the four mobile phone network licenses auctioned in India. One of the conditions for the Delhi cellular license was that the bidder have some experience as a telecom operator. So, Mittal clinched a deal with the French telecom group Vivendi. He was one of the first Indian entrepreneurs to identify the mobile telecom business as a major growth area. His plans were finally approved by the Government in 1994 and he launched services in Delhi in 1995, when Bharti Cellular Limited (BCL) was formed to offer cellular services under the brand name AirTel in 1997. Within a few years Bharti became the first telecom company to cross the 2-million mobile subscriber mark. Bharti also brought down the STD/ISD cellular rates in India under brand name 'Indiaone'.

In May 2008, it emerged that Sunil Bharti Mittal was exploring the possibility of buying the MTN Group, a South Africa-based telecommunications company with coverage in 21 countries in Africa and the Middle East. The Financial Times reported that Bharti was considering offering US$45 billion for a 100% stake in MTN, which would be the largest overseas acquisition ever by an Indian firm. However, both sides emphasize the tentative nature of the talks, while The Economist magazine noted, "If anything, Bharti would be marrying up," as MTN has more subscribers, higher revenues and broader geographic coverage.{{cite news |url= http://www.economist.com/daily/news/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11323216&top_story=1 |title= Emerging-market telecoms: Eyes on Africa |date= 6 May 2008 |newspaper= The Economist|access-date=1 April 2010}} However, the talks fell apart as MTN group tried to reverse the negotiations by making Bharti almost a subsidiary of the new company.{{cite news |url= https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/25/technology/25bharti.html |title= $50 Billion Telecom Deal Falls Apart |author= Heather Timmons|date= 25 May 2008 |work=The New York Times |access-date=1 April 2010}} In May 2009, Bharti Airtel again confirmed that it was in talks with MTN and the companies agreed to discuss the potential transaction exclusively by 31 July 2009. Talks eventually ended without agreement, some sources stating that this was due to opposition from the South African government.{{cite web |url= http://www.telecoms.com/14914/bharti-mtn-call-off-merger-talks/ |title= Bharti and MTN have called off merger discussions once again|author= James Middleton |date= 1 October 2009 |publisher=Telecoms.com |access-date=1 April 2010}}

In June 2010, Bharti led by Mittal acquired the African business of Zain Telecom for $10.7 billion (enterprise value) making it the largest ever acquisition by an Indian telecom firm.{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Bharti-completes-acquisition-of-Zains-Africa-biz-for-10-7bn/articleshow/6023848.cms |title=Bharti completes acquisition of Zain's Africa biz for $10.7bn|work=The Times of India |date=8 June 2010 |access-date=12 November 2015}} In 2012, Bharti tied up with Wal-Mart, the US retail giant, to start a number of retail stores across India.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-09-21/wal-mart-in-talks-with-bharti-after-india-eases-rules|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120924205229/http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-09-21/wal-mart-in-talks-with-bharti-after-india-eases-rules|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 September 2012|title=Wal-Mart May Open India Retail Stores Within Two Years|magazine=Bloomberg Businessweek|access-date=5 April 2013}} In 2014, Bharti planned to acquire Loop Mobile for INR 7 billion, but the deal was called off later.{{cite news|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/bharti-airtel-calls-off-rs-700-crore-deal-to-acquire-loop-mobile/articleshow/45044945.cms|title=Airtel calls of deal to acquire Loop telecom|work=The Economic Times|access-date= 30 June 2015}} His son Kavin Bharti Mittal is the CEO and founder of hike Messenger.{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/profile/sunil-mittal/ |title=Sunil Mittal & family |work=Forbes |access-date=2 December 2016}}

In September 2010, Mittal's son, Shravin Mittal, joined Bharti Airtel as a manager having worked for Merrill Lynch in New York and Ernst & Young in London.{{Cite news|url=http://in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-51260720100903|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100930072922/http://in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-51260720100903|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 September 2010|title=Sunil Mittal's son joins Bharti Airtel, fuels succession talk|author=Reuters Editorial|agency=Reuters India|access-date=13 August 2017}}

In 2012, Mittal took Bharti Infratel public with an IPO that raised $760 million. Mittal noted that the sale, considered by many to be only a modest success, was a "strong endorsement from qualified investors".{{Cite web|url=https://www.ft.com/content/495256d0-486b-11e2-a1c0-00144feab49a|title=Bharti Infratel IPO raises $760m|website=Financial Times|access-date=13 August 2017}}{{subscription required}} The board was restructured ahead of the IPO with Mittal remaining as Chairman and Managing Director.{{Cite news|url=http://www.firstpost.com/business/bharti-rejigs-board-ahead-of-tower-arm-ipo-471330.html|title=Bharti rejigs board ahead of tower arm IPO|date=27 September 2012|work=Firstpost|access-date=13 August 2017}} After the IPO, shares of Bharti Infratel dropped sharply at the commencement of trading.{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/bharti-infratel-listing-idINDEE8BR02M20121228|title=Bharti Infratel shares drop 13 percent in market debut|date=28 December 2012|work=Reuters|access-date=13 August 2017}}

In 2013, Mittal was ordered to appear before a special Delhi court to answer questions about the additional allocation of airwaves to certain companies. Allegations against Mittal state that there had been collusion with key telecoms officials in the government to illegally secure an extra spectrum. No charges were issued against Mittal, however the trial court judge noted that there was enough material on record to proceed.{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/naazneenkarmali/2013/03/20/billionaires-sunil-mittal-ravi-ruia-face-court-grilling-in-telecom-probe/|title=Billionaires Sunil Mittal, Ravi Ruia Face Court Grilling in Telecom Probe|last=Karmali|first=Naazneen|work=Forbes|access-date=13 August 2017}}

Mittal has also been working towards educating India through the Bharti Foundation, which is the philanthropic arm of Bharti Enterprises. The Foundation has established schools in villages across India and offers free quality education with free books, uniform and mid day meals to poor children.{{cite web |url= http://online.barrons.com/article/SB125935466529866955.html |title= The 25 Best Givers |author= Suzanne McGee |date= 30 November 2009 |work= Barron's|access-date=1 April 2010}}
