Vi supports its partners with setup and operational guidance to streamline the launch process. 

Focus on Customer Experience and Growth 

Vi’s retail stores collectively serve over 50,000 customers daily, while many users also opt to resolve their issues through the Vi App. According to Vi, its focus on customer experience is driving consistent growth in the postpaid segment, supported by enhanced in-store services and stronger value propositions. 

Record Low Customer Churn 

Reflecting its enhanced service strategy, the latest data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) indicates that Vi recorded its lowest customer churn rate in February 2025, marking a significant milestone since the merger of Vodafone and Idea Cellular.
