Huawei marks 20 years of digital transformation in India

Huawei marked 20 years of helping to build a better connected India. In recognition of this milestone, Huawei India launched its integrated campaign on Huawei “As Committed as Ever – With India, For India”. The campaign underlines Huawei’s long-term partnership to India’s digital journey, supporting the government’s Digital India and Skill India visions through close cooperation with telecom and industry partners, and developing local innovations to help foster a healthy and robust ICT ecosystem.

Speaking on the occasion, David Li, CEO, Huawei India said, “Huawei has been a proud partner to India’s digital transformation over the last 20 years. It has been our privilege to assist India’s businesses, institutions and people to go digital. As an ICT global leader, we have bought our expertise to help grow the Indian ecosystem and integrate it into the global value chain for a self-reliant India.

The 20-year Campaign
Commemorating the occasion is the new 20-year anniversary logo. Its colours inspired by India’s national bird, the Peacock, while the flowing lines and swirl of myriad hues of the ‘Zero-0’ symbolize India’s essence – Unity in diversity of cultures, ethnicity and people, a dynamic nation perpetually evolving and growing. The ‘Samarkan’ font used to write ‘India’ is inspired by the scripts of popular Indian languages Hindi, Marathi, and Bengali – a modern India that carries its traditional identity as it marches into the future.

Huawei also launched advertisements reiterating to be “As Committed As Ever” to India’s digital journey. The commitment, supported by its three business groups, focuses on its vision of building a strong Digital India. The images in the creative pay homage to key cultural icons of India, celebrating the diverse culture of this ancient nation. Along with the advertisements Huawei India will also release a video narrating its two-decade dynamic journey in the country.
