📱 From Hutch to Vi: A Journey of Transformation 🌐 Remember the iconic "You & I" tune from Hutch? A brand synonymous with innovation and reliability, Hutchison Essar captured hearts with its adorable pug and stellar services. 🐾 Fast forward to 2007, Vodafone acquired Hutch and transitioned into Vodafone India, becoming a telecom giant that connected millions. The iconic red brand became a household name, leading with campaigns like "Power to You." However, the telecom landscape in India faced intense competition and unprecedented challenges. In 2018, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular merged to create Vodafone Idea Limited (Vi), a bold move to combine resources and expertise. With a fresh identity as Vi, the brand symbolizes unity, strength, and a focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences.
