Emtel | Corporate

Chairman’s message

“Emtel, the pioneer of mobile telephony in the Southern Hemisphere, has demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability during the world’s most challenging times. The first handheld mobile phone became commercially available in 1983, and Mauritius adopted mobile telephony just six years later, thanks to Emtel, the first cellular operator in the Southern Hemisphere. This was a significant achievement.

Our commitment to innovation, data-centricity, and operational excellence continues to drive sustained growth and value creation for our shareholders. We have remained steadfast in pursuing a diversified strategy that has shown great success in recent years. Our foresight continues to propel us to a leadership position in the industry, and today, we stand tall as a significant TechCo in the region.

Emtel’s robust financial performance reflects the pioneering spirit that has helped us deliver long-term shareholder value. We have achieved significant milestones in revenue growth and profitability, demonstrating the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives across various business segments and prudent financial management.

As we celebrate 35 years of innovation, we are excited by the opportunities that lie ahead, including the expansion of the 5G network, investments in new infrastructure, growth in Fintech, and new possibilities in space tech through Emtel Technopolis. Our strategic investments in infrastructure and talent will enable us to leverage emerging global trends and drive sustainable growth in the years to come.

At the core of our success lies our dedication and commitment to our stakeholders – employees, customers, business partners, and shareholders alike. We uphold the values that have guided our founders for many years: foresight, integrity, responsibility, passion, and openness. As we navigate the complexities of today’s business environment and evolving technology landscape, we remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and ethical conduct.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to all our stakeholders for their continued trust and support. Together, we will continue to build a smarter future for our company and sustainable growth for our country.

Thank you for your confidence in Emtel, the fastest mobile network in Mauritius.”
