Hutch has become the first telecom operator to cross the 30-lakh (three million)

about Hutch’s growing presence and leadership status in Gujarat, a campaign was launched
for employees as well as customers. The message was communicated through press,
outdoor promotions, banners and car stickers. Posters and elevator branding in various
corporate offices were also deployed.
In the neighbouring state of Rajasthan, Hutch celebrated breaking the one million
customer mark.
