While globally most of the telcos outsource most of their work to third party vendor, MTNL runs its own call centre. This in turn results in higher employee cost. This in results have resulted in higher losses for MTNL.In Delhi & Mumbai MTNL has about 40000 employees. on the other hand the likes of Airtel have 15000 employees across India for managing 22 circle operation. Most of the work is outsourced in Airtel.
The high cost on employee is a reason MTNL is not able to invest on technology and improve its services.

In last quarter MTNL has increased its revenue by 25 crore and reduces expenditure also. Hopefully this VRS scheme will help in MTNL to achieve its past glory.

"Thomas Cook India launches "Silver Breaks" - customized International and Domestic Holidays for senior citizens". The theme is #NeverTooOld
There has been two TVC in this segment to popularize the product.
The first TVC having a Muslim old man narrating his story How he has seen 3 brothers and two sisters....How he has seen so many wars and riots, how brothers separated etc etc. and Now he is going to to see London
Similarly the second TVC features an old Hindu lady from a village who narrates her story how she has been seen her life changed from a girl to a wife through arrange marriage, how she has seen various life changing agents. and now she is going to see Paris.
I personally felt the ads to be very powerful and targeted at the senior citizens with a strong message. That they have already seen the routine life now its time to see the rest.

Blue is a primary corporate colour, associated with depth and stability. It indicates trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence and faith. Saffron radiates warmth and happiness by combining the physical energy and stimulation of red with the cheerfulness of yellow. Green implies balance, harmony and growth.
NPCI is a company that believes in transparency and clear work ethics. The open P and the liberal spaces around N and C bear testimony to this fact.
The font is stylishly slender, thus expressing flexibility and nimbleness. The letters are in italics giving it the feeling of speed and representing an organization that is swiftly embracing futuristic technologies. The fast forward symbols represent a brand that is rocketing ahead; a brand that is keeping pace with changing times to emerge as a clear winner every time.
The company logo of NPCI was unveiled at the hands of the M Balachandran, chairman, NPCI at the Board Meeting held on December 15, 2015.
