About
IMIL is a pan-India IP-1 provider of high quality shared passive
infrastructure for the wireless industry. We place a high priority
on maximizing quality and co-location in all of our operating
decisions--from design, to site location, to construction quality
and timeliness, to developing and leveraging state-of-the-art
monitoring and automation systems, to management processes and
employee training. Our focus on driving high levels of co-location
while increasing quality will reduce telecom operators’ direct
expenses and improve an operator’s ability to deliver reliable
quality service to its subscribers. IMIL believes that it is in
a different business than simply deploying and maintaining towers.
IMIL was conceived early in 2005 and incorporated in June of 2006.
We have deliberately and steadily built a pan-India operation located
in ten circles plus our national headquarters in Gurgaon. Rather than
sprint to deploy towers in these early days of the independent tower
industry, IMIL has chosen to pursue a strategy of first developing
internal management and process competencies after which we now are
poised to enter a phase of more rapid deployment and lease-up.
One person at a time, IMIL has assembled a team that has extensive
telecom, construction, operations & maintenance, enterprise systems,
and process experience. This team has over a thousand years of
combined experience at leading Indian telecom organizations.
Complimenting this domestic experience are a select number of
individuals with experience at leading foreign tower companies
such as SpectraSite (now part of American Tower), Global Signal
(now part of Crown Castle) and Verizon. These expatriates, working
with Indian colleagues, are tailoring and applying technology and
know-how for use in India. We believe that we are meaningfully
ahead of others in being able to apply certain knowledge to such
diverse activities as advanced site monitoring and to organizing
a co-location team with a streamlined process.
IMIL’s current footprint extends from its headquarters in Gurgaon
to the following ten circles: Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka,
Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, UP West,
and UP East. The two additional circles that are in the process of
being opened are Bihar and West Bengal. We intend to expand to the
full 23 circle national footprint by the end of fiscal year 2008/9.
IMIL is well funded. Our parent company, The Keffi Group Ltd.
(domiciled in the United States), has committed a significant amount
of its own capital. In addition, we are aligned with several well
respected global equity investors and have strong relationships with
leading domestic and global lending institutions.
IMIL is an unbiased independent provider of quality shared infrastructure.
Independence, quality and co-location lead to a better and more cost-effective
user experience for telecom operators. As stated above, this differs markedly
from simply deploying towers and maintaining these assets. It also differs
meaningfully from being a Turnkey Service Provider. IMIL has been built
from the ground up with this vision, and is confident that as its industry
matures, we will differentiate ourselves and, on this basis, sustain
stronger long-term relationships and more stable growth. Telecom
operators should want to do business with us.
