We live in a world where an hour without internet feels like an eternity! Whether for work, social media, googling ‘Business Brains’, WhatsApp calls, or even while reading this article, having an internet connection is a must.
Now, imagine life without access to 30% of the internet—pretty hard to imagine, right? But there is an Indian company that will never let that happen! So, who is that company?

It is none other than Tata Group. Its subsidiary, Tata Communications, controls about 30% of the world’s Internet routes. Not only does it connect businesses to 80% of the world’s cloud giants, but it also connects 4 out of 5 mobile subscribers worldwide. Pretty awesome, right?
Tata Communications, formerly known as Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL), represents more than 300 Fortune 500 companies.
Submarine cables handle 99% of international internet traffic worldwide, and without them, there would be no email, social media, Netflix, Spotify, online shopping, search engines or cloud computing—everything we rely on in the modern internet.
And Tata Communications operates the world’s largest wholly-owned and most advanced submarine fiber network, carrying more than 30% of global Internet routes, and has a data center network located in 44 locations worldwide.
They offer services such as ethernet, cloud services, private lines and manage other support services such as security, satellite teleports, fiber-based video networks, transcoding and more.
Their network includes over 500,000 km of submarine fiber, and 210,000+ km of terrestrial fiber, and oversees over 130,000 miles of fiber cables, 2,40,000+ km of global fiber optic ring, and 500+ PoPs.
They cover more than 240 countries and territories with nearly 1 million square feet of data center and colocation space worldwide.
And although this much fiber is enough to wrap around the globe 15 times, they used it to connect 6 continents.
Every year, they carry 53 billion minutes of international voice traffic – that’s 1 in 10 voice calls worldwide – which also means that more than 1 lakh of you are currently using their voice network for international calls.
Today, they own and operate the world’s largest submarine cable network, reaching countries representing 99.7% of the world’s GDP.
So, with that additional 30% internet, doesn’t life become much more efficient and complete?
Tata Communications is listed on both the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India, and its revenue in 2022-23 stood at approximately ₹ 17,838 crore.
