Speaking at the launch that was held at Serena Hotel, Amit Kapur, the Chief Commercial Officer for Airtel Uganda said that since the outbreak of the pandemic and its effects like the lockdown, people spend a lot of time on the internet, not for leisure but for work purposes.
“In the last one year or so, the world has changed as data has become one of the most sought after items. Students are now using the internet to do distance learning, health and entertainment industry uses the internet to extend services to people. We, therefore, decided to introduce data bundles that don’t expire,” Kapur said.
