Bharti Airtel, whose operations are in 20 countries across Africa and Asia, started its operations in 1995 and reached the 100 million customers mark in 2009. The company crossed the 200 millionth mark in 2012. The additional 100 million subscribers have joined the Airtel family in just less than two years.
