“Growth will come from data coupled with apps,” said Rahul.
AIRCEL
Aircel is betting on Geo-Location as it is a big challenge for VAS where OTT has beaten them almost.
“When it would be easy enough for customers to find out what he wants. And, how closely can we find out what the customers want? When we achieve these two, we would feel we are at home,” said Reena Rathi, Business Head, VAS, Aircel Limited.

MoMagic is focusing on consolidation of VAS services.
“From user’s point of view, they don’t want to go to multiple places for different purposes. Consolidation has to happen. For example, through a messenger, one must be able to chat, book a flight, see videos, book a restaurant and so on; more of an API-driven service,” said
MICROMAX
Payment is the next big thing.
“How easily can one pay? We have repeatedly failed with VAS retail cards,” said

The next best thing is advertising.
“If we could get the brands to sponsor the experiences for the customers, like through a sponsored view or a sponsored click, VAS would benefit largely,” he added.
