Airtel Congo is a telecommunications company operating in the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville). It is a subsidiary of Airtel Africa plc, an Indian multinational company providing telecommunications and mobile money services across Africa. Airtel Africa is majority owned by Bharti Airtel, an Indian telecommunications company. Airtel Congo's establishment was a result of Bharti Airtel's acquisition of Zain's mobile operations in 15 African countries in 2010. This acquisition made Airtel the world's fifth-largest wireless carrier by subscriber base at the time. The company offers mobile voice and data services, as well as mobile money services.
