Summary
Dato' Izzaddin Idris, President and Group CEO of Axiata Group Berhad, shares his vision for the Malaysia-based telecommunications group and its operating companies at the Asia Pacific Telecom Summit 2021. Axiata is pursuing operational excellence across its footprint in Asia's emerging markets, spanning markets from Malaysia and Indonesia to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Nepal.
His central conviction is that cost leadership is not optional but a prerequisite for making mobile data services genuinely affordable for the mass population across the region's developing economies. That premise shapes how the group thinks about network investment, service pricing, and the balance between profitability and inclusion for underserved communities.
Cloud computing, edge infrastructure, and 5G are expected to open new growth avenues beyond the group's core connectivity business. Axiata's approach to building resilience into its operating companies, while pursuing new revenue streams adjacent to its traditional mobile business, runs throughout his remarks to Twimbit, spanning both defensive resilience and offensive growth ambitions.
