India’s telecom and IT infrastructure industry has grown very rapidly over the last two decades. Coming with the introduction of 5G and the expansion of cloud computing as well as targeted initiatives to ensure that broadband access reaches rural India, the clamor for strong, innovative solutions has gone through the roof.

While India finds itself in a digital-first future, companies such as Aksentt Tech are increasingly becoming the key enablers who are bridging the connectivity gap between urban and rural areas.

Launched in 2007, Aksentt Tech started with a vision to revolutionize India’s communication infrastructure. Initially focused on network deployment services under the IP-1 license, the company quickly identified the growing demand for high-quality telecom and IT solutions. Over the years, it has expanded into telecom network planning, data center build, system integration, IT-enabled services and managed services, positioning itself as a trusted partner in India’s Digital India mission.

Aksentt Tech has executed some of the country’s most impactful projects, including the first statewide MPLS based rural broadband network under BharatNet. A flagship example is Aksentt Tech’s role in BharatNet Phase II, one of the world’s most ambitious rural broadband projects.

As part of the ITI-Aksentt consortium, the company is laying 35,000+ km of optical fiber to connect 12,513 Gram Panchayats. The digital backbone will enable a range of services, including telemedicine, e-education, G2C services, and Wi-Fi access, transforming rural governance and connectivity.

Facilities & Workforce Excellence

Aksentt Tech’s operation centers are equipped with cutting edge technology infrastructure that supports its vast service portfolio. The company’s workforce is its heartbeat, which includes a pool of highly trained professionals energized by innovation and a shared purpose.

The organization develops a culture that embodies technical rigor along with empathy and therefore builds an ongoing culture of learning, and cross-domain understanding within the organization. Unique to the Aksentt is the hands-on nature of the leaders who are actively involved with the ground-level monitoring and stakeholder engagements, building a trust and an agile culture in the organization.

A conference free flow of information within the organization creates an environment where ideas, feedback, and problems are voiced without holding back. It creates a high sense of empowerment and ownership among the employees who are treated as major partners in the company’s success.

Expanding its sphere of influence from the technology verticals like cybersecurity, IT, and emerging 5G networks, Aksentt Tech had to go through a great diversity of challenges that challenged its operational and cultural integrity. The first major obstacle was aligning a skilled workforce that could manage the legacy systems and advanced technologies. By fostering mentorship programs and lateral movement opportunities, the company ensured employees could adapt to new roles without fear or insecurity, transforming potential disruption into opportunity.

Aksentt Tech has also been assessed at CMMI Level 5 (DEV & SVC) and PCMM Level 5, placing it among a select group of global organizations known for operational excellence and people-centric maturity. These certifications validate Aksentt Tech’s capability to deliver secure, reliable, and high-quality digital solutions.

Balancing Culture & Expansion

The company’s rapid expansion across diverse geographies and technology fields presented another challenge: preserving its foundational culture and core values. To overcome it, Aksentt Tech designed a values-first leadership framework that embedded cultural ambassadors within every team, ensuring that the company’s ethos was deeply understood and practiced. Regular virtual town halls, cross functional

hackathons, and 'culture circles' became vital instruments for maintaining a united and purpose-driven workforce despite the physical distance.

Execution complexity also surged as Aksentt Tech managed simultaneous large infrastructure rollouts and pilot projects addressing the sensitive realms of cybersecurity and emerging 5G technologies. A hybrid delivery model emerged as the answer, combining the predictability of traditional project management with the adaptability of agile methodologies, supported by real-time digital dashboards.

It blend enabled cross unit coordination and enhanced transparency, leading to smoother implementation. Employee well-being became an imperative focus, as the intensity and scale of projects risked burnout. Initiatives such as mental health support, flexible working hours, and ‘Work-Life Integration’ allowed teams to tailor their schedules during demanding phases, fostering psychological safety and resilience.

Aksentt Tech innovated by building strong in-house capabilities, especially in GIS and network design with its proprietary Path GIS platform, significantly reducing vendor dependency and improving operational efficiency. Strategic collaborations with OEMs and startups complemented these initiatives, particularly in 5G and customer premises equipment design. Looking back, a top executive comments, “Our focus on people, purpose, and performance has allowed us not only to overcome challenges but to turn them into opportunities for growth and innovation”.


Employee Development & Continuous Learning

Aksentt Tech understands that sustainable success hinges on developing world-class talent that keeps pace with technological evolution. To it end, the company has established a multi-faceted and structured employee development ecosystem. Its flagship program, Aksentt EDGE (Empowering Digital Growth & Excellence), provides specialized training tracks in 5G architecture, cybersecurity labs with hands-on environments, and cloud computing certifications covering AWS, Azure, and Google platforms.

The employee growth goes beyond technical skills; the company supports certification sponsorships and reimbursements for globally recognized qualifications like CISSP, AWS Solutions Architect and CCNA, encouraging employees to share acquired knowledge internally. The TechBridge Learning Hub consolidates hundreds of courses, live master classes, and project-based learning led by technical leaders sharing practical insights from ongoing projects.

Rotational internships and exposure of the fresh graduates and early-career professionals to innovation hackathons offer exposure, resulting in the burgeoning of ideas into prototypes and new product initiatives. The company also runs Telecom Versity, a purpose-driven skilling initiative that connects rural youth to telecom job opportunities. By offering practical, certification-backed training, TelecomVersity strengthens India’s digital workforce while driving inclusive growth.
