Bharti Airtel reported a strong June quarter, with first-quarter profit rising to ₹8,867 crore and revenue growing 18.4% year-on-year. Speaking to Business Today, the market expert Sudip Bandyopadhyay said the results were better than expected, driven by a strong India wireless business and a continued turnaround in the Africa operations. He noted that the domestic business has remained consistently strong, while Africa has emerged as a key contributor to consolidated earnings. The robust performance has boosted investor sentiment, sending Bharti Airtel shares higher following the announcement of its impressive quarterly results.
