A piece of news that won’t turn into money very quickly, but could be relevant given that India probably has a lot of API developers.
Summary by AI
Nokia and Bharti Airtel are starting a collaboration where Airtel’s network capabilities will be opened to third parties via Nokia’s Network as Code platform.
Network API interfaces will be available on a subscription basis for developers, integrators, and enterprises across India.Goals of the collaboration:
- Enable the development of new applications and services utilizing Airtel’s AI, 5G, edge-computing, and other network features.
- Create new revenue streams for the operator by virtualizing parts of the network and offering them directly to developers.
- Accelerate ecosystem innovation and digitalization.
According to Nokia, this expands the Network as Code ecosystem and helps operators monetize their network investments.
The platform already has over 60 partners globally, including operators, data center and AI customers, as well as CPaaS and software providers.

If the AI supercycle delivers as promised, the company’s recent press releases may be remembered as the moment when a once‑familiar brand quietly re‑entered the growth conversation—this time from the server room instead of the store shelf.
