Powering livelihoods and employment
Enabling income generation and entrepreneurship across communities and markets

Sustainable employment and livelihoods drive long-term prosperity.
Across our markets, many individuals operate within informal or micro-enterprise economies. Reliable connectivity and digital payments allow businesses to trade more efficiently, reach new customers and reduce operational risk. Our distribution ecosystem plays a central role in this.
In 2025/26, we supported more than 2.4 million Airtel Money agents. These agents are small business owners embedded within their communities. For many, Airtel Money provides a steady income stream and a pathway into formal enterprise activity.
Gender balance reached 29.9%, reflecting continued progress in building a more inclusive workforce. Within our organisation, we delivered over 655,900 total training hours to strengthen skills and long-term employability.
By enabling enterprises, investing in skills and strengthening distribution networks, we help build more resilient local economies that create opportunities beyond our immediate customer base.
