"India is a very dynamic environment and is driving innovation in core telecom infrastructure such as 5G technology. For example, 5G represents an enormous leap forward in capacity and speed for its solid base of 300 million connected users that are currently driving data capacity requirements. This supports the company's next-generation technologies, as well as its growing network of technology partners that enable Coriant to provide industry-leading, end-user services and applications including: 5G, IoT, Cloud and the Industrial Internet. With that, I am excited to lead Coriant's initiatives in India and throughout the region," said Shanbhag.
