Company. He sold his bicycle parts and yarn factories and
moved to Mumbai. In 1981, he purchased importing

imported thousands of Suzuki Motors's portable electric-
power generators from Japan. The importing of generators
was suddenly banned by the then Indian Government.

which he earlier used to import from a Taiwan company,
Kingtel, replacing the old fashioned. Bharti Telecom Limited

with Siemens AG of Germany for manufacture of electronic
push button phones. By the early 1990s, Mittal was making
fax machines, cordless phones and other telecom gear. He
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 licences auctioned in India. Mittal clinched a
deal with the French telecom group Vivendi. 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.
