新德里互联网服务提供商目前有近3000名员工。
该公司由总部位于荷兰的控股公司100%拥有，此前主要从欧洲的私募股权或私募股权基金筹集资金。
目前，该公司拥有近90万用户，预计到2023年年底用户将超过120万。
Raina表示，该公司希望将每用户平均收益保持在500卢比。“现在大约是470卢比，我们希望保持在这个水平，因为它不应该成为家庭的负担。”
“我们将前往城市中不那么优越的地区，任何人都应该负担得起我们的服务。我们正在以合理的价格提供具有竞争力的光纤到户(FTTH)服务，”这位高管补充道。
现有的电信运营商，如依赖Jio而且Bharti Airtel平均用户收入接近700卢比。
除了电信公司，Excitel还与其他公司竞争Fibernet行动该公司表示，其大多数竞争对手仍在使用传统的基于铜的网络。
“在附近的旅馆我们在德里排名第二，因为电信公司有近100万FTTH用户，而我们有50万。”
去年，这家总部位于德里的公司宽带该公司在班加罗尔和海德拉巴的投资增加了一倍，将服务业务扩展到多达28个城市。
“我们通过当地合作伙伴运营，在德里，我们有600多家当地合作伙伴，确保最后一英里的使用权。我们控制客户的入局和支持，并有一个集中的客户服务，包括聊天、自我护理和帮助热线，”Raina补充道。
根据他的说法，路权(RoW)是电信公司和isp面临的最大问题之一，政府和监管机构最近的举措是在正确的方向上。
“政府的作用应该是促进者，该行业不应该被征税，因为它在一个只有3000万FTTH家庭的贫穷邦是如此重要。”
美国贸易和开发署将资助扩大印度农村宽带连接的研究
美国贸易和开发署星期三说，这样的项目可以改变社区，刺激更具包容性的经济增长。
Raina说，中央应该允许5年的免税期，一旦有线宽带普及，玩家可能会被征税。
“宽带是一个很大的平等器，发展中国家的人民有这样的愿望。事实上，管理人员应该考虑鼓励有线宽带的普及。”
”5克绝对不能取代有线宽带。无线宽带是为人们提供的，而对于娱乐、学习和在家工作(WFH)等带宽密集型应用，FTTH是唯一的出路。”
此外，Excitel还与OTT聚合商PlayboxTV合作，提供捆绑服务。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: Broadband service provider<\/a> Excitel<\/a> aims to raise Rs 500 crores next year to fund its ambitious expansion strategy that includes big-ticket technology upgrade, seamless customer service and increasing employee base.\"By next year, we are opening a bigger round to attract Rs 500 crores for expansion, research and development<\/a> (R&D), big technology interventions and seamless customer experience,\" Vivek Raina, co-founder & CEO, Excitel told ETTelecom, adding that the company would also scale up its workforce.
The Delhi-based internet<\/a> service provider has nearly 3,000 employees currently.
<\/div><\/div>Last year, the company raised Rs 100-crore in a funding round primarily to scale up operations and expansion in new territories including the west India region such as in Mumbai.
The firm is 100% owned by the Netherlands-based holding company, and previously raised money mostly from private equity or PE funds in Europe.
Currently, it has close to 9 lakh subscribers, and expects to surpass 12 lakh users by the end of CY 2023.
Raina said that the company wants to keep average revenue per user at Rs 500. \"It's now at about Rs 470, and we want to keep it there as it should not be a burden for households.\"
\"We are going to not so privileged areas of cities, and anyone should afford our service. We are offering competitive fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) service at affordable pricing,\" the top executive added.
Incumbent telecom operators such as Reliance Jio<\/a> and Bharti Airtel<\/a> have an average user revenue of close to Rs 700.
Besides telcos, Excitel competes with the likes of ACT Fibernet<\/a>, and said that a majority of its rivals continue to to be on legacy copper-based networks.
\"After Airtel<\/a>, we are No. 2 in Delhi as the telco has nearly a million FTTH users, and we have half-a-million,\" Raina said.
Last year, the Delhi-based broadband<\/a> company doubled down its investments in Bangalore and Hyderabad, taking service operations to as many as 28 cities.

<\/div><\/div>\"Delhi\/NCR, Haryana and major cities of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan are now covered. In Telangana, we are present in many towns,\" he said, adding that the company aims to be among top three service providers in cities, and is focussed on the unstructured market which constitutes 80% of the territories.
\"We operate through local partners, and in Delhi we have more than 600 local partners who ensure last mile access. We control customer onboarding and support, and have a centralised customer service including chat, self care and helpline,\" Raina added.
Right-of-way (RoW) is one of the biggest issues that telcos and ISPs face, and the recent moves by the government and regulator are in the right direction, according to him.
\"Role of the government should be as a facilitator and the sector should not be taxed much as it's so vital yet in a poor state with only 3 crore FTTH households.\"
