What role Mavenir could be playing in India going forward?<\/strong>
While we are headquartered in the US, we make huge investments in India, and are doing most of our work out of here, which no other Indian company is doing. We are as good Indians as anybody else.
I believe that Mavenir should be seen as any other Indian company. Let us play under the same rules. Because to me, it's actually to India's disadvantage if we are not seen from that lens. I don't think it's good for the Indian government to push create an Indian entity, which will focus on the Indian market only, because then you won't be competitive globally. You may have a substandard solution in India, which won't meet the world quality market.
If every government starts doing that, it won't help anybody and the entity will have trouble going outside, because they will be viewed as “okay, they were created by the Indian Government for the Indian market...so why should they be allowed to play the same way?” Huawei had the same troubles…So, why repeat their mistakes, which other people tried and got hammered with? The Government should not take that approach. We have open technology and it shouldn’t matter where we are headquartered.
How do you see India as a market and base for your R&D?<\/strong>
More than 60% of our workforce is in India. We have offices in Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Pune and Delhi. We do actually have our core R&D and l support in India. Even if our systems are deployed in the US or Germany or other places the support work along with R&D is getting done in India.
The Indian market is important to us. We have been working with Indian operators. We have our presence in Vodafone Idea and Airtel. We were present in Jio before they started doing their own thing. 5G spectrum auction will happen sometime this year and telcos will start building their networks out.
India is part of the QUAD initiative. As part of that general meeting within the US government, we discussed that a good strategy for India would be to deploy OpenRAN only. We are talking to Indian operators and they would like to adopt OpenRAN.
How bullish Indian telcos are on OpenRAN as they prepare for 5G? Are you engaging with them?
<\/strong>
One thing is that you can't use Chinese vendors for 5G, resulting in limited options. But, more importantly, OpenRAN gives you more flexibility on the supply chain. Currently, telcos buy proprietary solutions which are exported to the Indian market as compared to OpenRAN solutions including the software and hardware which can be built and manufactured in India.
We're already building radios with Jabil in Pune. Whether Indian operators use it or not, we are actually building worldwide radios in Pune. If Indian telcos pick us for deployment then we would have Indian-built radios deployed in India. Similarly, servers are something we are working on and believe that the server technology can be built in India.
Software is anyway getting done in India. So, largely even though we are not an Indian company, we are enabling everything made in India with all the components.
Do you want to collaborate with Indian telecom gear makers to offer an end-to-end 5G OpenRAN stack?
<\/strong>
In BSNL for example, when the government made the rules, we actually worked with Indian companies. We even moved our IP to India. We are who we are and we can’t change it to something else because we are a US-headquartered company and our investors are in the US.
But, our work is largely getting done in India. We are willing to partner with Indian companies. We are already working with Tech Mahindra, HCL. Wipro and Infosys for our deployments all over the world.
Your views on the design-led 5G manufacturing PLI scheme by the Indian government? Do you think Mavenir can take advantage of the scheme?<\/strong>
The IP for our 4G and 5G residing within the Indian entity. And, we can licence to system integrators. No major OEM has done that so far. However, we don't want to change our strategy based on the government policy. We're spending our money in India. Our intellectual property is based in India, but it's still part of the US entity, which we cannot change.
Mavenir raised $500 million to fund the R&D and expansion. How much of it is being used for the Indian market?
<\/strong>
We spend the money in doing R&D to a large extent and now in sales and marketing, which is global. A lot of new money went into actual investment in India. We have expanded our locations. We actually acquired companies, which had a presence in India as well. So we have been kind of acquiring companies, which are also following the same trajectory with R&D being in India and sales and marketing all over the world.
Also despite the COVID situation during the last 1.5 years, we added 1500 employees in India with the investment that we have got to expand our R&D work.
If you don't want to hire people in China. There's only one place you can get it… in India. There’s not many places where you can hire people.
Do you think that in the initial phase, OpenRAN will be a part of the 5G networks? <\/strong>
We are one of the leading players in OpenRAN. We have engaged with all the customers in the market and all operators have shown interest but we can’t announce more than what is already there in the public domain. There is more than what is in the public domain with respect to our engagement with telcos in India. In the first phase, it is in telcos’ plan to move towards OpenRAN.
And how much percentage of the network can be OpenRAN initially?<\/strong>
If it works, then it should be 100%. Of course, if it doesn't work, it will be okay. Very small. Right. And, it is working in other places. So I would think that if it works, I would say you know, they should just adopt it 100%. In a phased manner, it will work. Telcos will have to get comfortable with the technology.

Is system integration cost a challenge that is bothering telcos?
<\/strong>
We are actually making it easier for them. We already work with players like Dell, RedHat and use their hardware and software with our own to offer a combined solution.
There are interoperability labs setups across to test. We have already tested with 16 different vendors. So, once the maturity of the ecosystem happens, it will be done through multiple players. But, initially, telcos would prefer one vendor to run. But, it took them just one year to figure out that OpenRAN just works.
Are you open to acquiring more companies to bolster your position in the marke<\/strong>t?<\/strong>
We pretty much acquire one company every year. We bought ip.access actually in 2020. Last year, we bought a company called Telestax. They also have a deployment centre in India, so roughly one acquisition per year.
Do you see any possibility around partnering with Reliance Jio on 5G?<\/strong>
They picked up partners they wanted to work with. If their desire is to take their solution outside then they will view us as a company competition. They will rather work with the players who they think won't be challengers when they go out. But, on the other hand, if it is just for their network, we probably are the right partners.
Any last comments?
<\/strong>
Well, we are well invested in India and continue to invest in India. We have been doing that since 2005. So it's not something that started yesterday. So we are committed to India whether it helps or Indian operators help or not. We are building open radios. The Indian government can invest in creating open radio companies, which can build different variants for different markets. .

乐动娱乐招聘ETTelecom采访:Mavenir应该被认为是一家印度公司,克里Pardeep总裁兼首席执行官说
“我不认为这对印度政府说印度创建一个实体,只关注印度市场,因为你不会有竞争力。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。”
Pardeep克里,总裁和首席执行官。(档案照片)
总裁兼首席执行官Pardeep克里OpenRAN专业Mavenir说,该公司应被视为一家印度公司参与国家的5 g的旅程。与ET的丹麦汗,克里说,Mavenir在印度投资,其知识产权在4 g和5 g技术居住在印度。他还讨论了Mavenir与沃达丰的工作理念和Airtel和竞争依赖Jio。编辑摘录。
Mavenir扮演什么角色可以在印度前进吗?
当我们总部在美国,我们在印度进行巨大的投资,和所做的大部分工作离开这里,没有其他印度公司正在做的事情。我们和其他人一样好印第安人。
我相信Mavenir应被视为其他印度公司。让我们在相同的规则下玩。因为对我来说,它实际上是印度的缺点如果我们不从,镜头。我不认为这对印度政府推动印度创建一个实体,它将只关注印度市场,因为你不会在全球竞争。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。
如果每一个政府都开始这样做,它也不会帮助任何人和外面的实体将有困难,因为他们会被视为“好的,他们是由印度政府对印度市场……为什么他们应该被允许玩同样的方式吗?“华为有同样的问题…所以,为什么重复自己的错误,而别人试过和惨败吗?政府不应该采取这种方法。我们有开放的技术,我们总部不重要。
你如何看待印度作为一个市场和研发基地吗?
在印度超过60%的劳动力。我们在班加罗尔设有办事处,Bhubaneshwar,浦那和德里。我们有核心研发和l在印度的支持。即使我们的系统部署在美国或德国或其他地方的支持工作以及研发完成在印度。
印度市场对我们非常重要。我们已经与印度的运营商合作。我们有在沃达丰的想法和旅馆。我们之前在Jio他们开始做自己的事情。5 g频谱拍卖将在今年某个时候发生和电信公司将开始构建自己的网络。
印度是四举措的一部分。作为大会的一部分在美国政府中,我们讨论了,印度将是一个好的策略部署OpenRAN只。我们跟印度的运营商,他们愿意采用OpenRAN。
看好印度电信公司是如何在OpenRAN准备5 g ?你与他们吗?
有一件事是,你不能用中国供应商5 g,导致有限的选项。但是,更重要的是,在供应链OpenRAN给你更多的灵活性。目前,电信公司购买专有的解决方案是出口到印度市场相比OpenRAN解决方案,包括软件和硬件,可以建在印度制造。
我们已经与捷普集团建立无线电在浦那。印度的运营商是否使用与否,我们实际上是构建全球收音机在浦那。如果印度电信公司接我们部署之后我们会有艘收音机部署在印度。同样,服务器是我们正在关注的事情,相信服务器技术可以构建在印度。
在印度软件是无论如何完成。所以,很大程度上,尽管我们不是一家印度公司,我们让一切在印度的所有组件。
你想与印度电信设备制造商提供一个端到端的5 g OpenRAN栈?
例如在BSNL,当政府规则,我们与印度公司合作。我们甚至我们的IP搬到印度。我们我们是谁,我们不能改变其他东西,因为我们是US-headquartered公司在美国和我们的投资者。
但是,我们的工作主要是在印度完成。我们愿意与印度公司合作。马恒达科技公司我们已经使用盐酸。Wipro和印孚瑟斯部署在世界各地。
你的意见设计驱动5 g制造业PLI由印度政府计划?你认为Mavenir可以利用计划?
4 g的IP和5 g居住在印度的实体。我们可以授权系统集成商。没有主要的OEM,到目前为止完成的。然而,我们不想改变我们的策略的基础上,政府政策。在印度我们花费我们的钱。我们的知识产权是建立在印度,但它仍然是我们实体的一部分,我们不能改变。
Mavenir筹集了5亿美元用于研发和扩张。有多少被用于印度市场吗?
我们花的钱在做研发在很大程度上和现在在销售和营销,这是全球性的。很多新资金进入实际投资在印度。我们已经扩大了我们的位置。我们收购的公司,在印度的业务。所以我们一直在收购公司也遵循同样的轨迹与研发在印度和世界各地的销售和营销。
也尽管COVID形势在过去的1.5年,我们增加了1500名新员工在印度投资,我们必须扩大我们的研发工作。
如果你不想在中国雇佣员工。只有一个地方你可以…在印度。不是有很多地方你可以雇佣人。
你认为在初始阶段,OpenRAN将5 g网络的一部分?
我们是一个领先的球员OpenRAN。我们与所有市场的客户和运营商有兴趣但是我们不能宣布比已经在公共领域。不止是在公共领域对我们参与电信公司在印度。在第一阶段,走向OpenRAN电信公司的计划。
多少比例的网络可以OpenRAN最初?
如果成功的话,那么它应该是100%。当然,如果它不工作,它会好的。非常小。正确的。它是在其他地方工作。所以我认为,如果成功的话,我想说你知道,他们应该采用100%。以分阶段的方式,它将工作。电信公司必须熟悉这项技术。
读也
系统集成的成本是一个挑战,让电信公司感到困扰吗?
我们实际上是方便他们。我们已经使用像戴尔这样的球员,RedHat和使用与我们自己的硬件和软件提供一个综合的解决方案。
有互操作性测试实验室设置。我们已经测试了16个不同的供应商。所以,一旦发生了生态系统的成熟,它将通过多个玩家。但是,最初,电信公司宁愿一个厂商。但是,他们只用了一年发现OpenRAN只是工作。
你是开放获取更多的公司来支持你的位置标记
t ?
我们几乎每年收购一家公司。我们买了ip。实际上在2020年的访问。去年,我们买了一家名为Telestax。他们也有部署中心在印度,所以大约每年一个收购。
你周围的任何可能性与信实Jio 5 g ?
他们拿起合作伙伴。如果他们的愿望是把他们的解决方案之外就会认为我们是一个公司的竞争。他们会喜欢的球员,他们认为工作而不是出去时不会挑战者。但是,另一方面,如果只是为他们的网络,我们可能是合适的合作伙伴。
最后的评论吗?
嗯,我们都投资于印度和印度继续投资。自2005年以来,我们一直在这样做。所以它不是昨天开始的。所以我们致力于印度是否它帮助或印度的运营商帮助。我们正在建设打开收音机。印度政府可以投资创建开放的广播公司,它可以为不同的市场。构建不同的变体。
Pardeep Kohli, President & CEO.

乐动娱乐招聘ETTelecom采访:Mavenir应该被认为是一家印度公司,克里Pardeep总裁兼首席执行官说
“我不认为这对印度政府说印度创建一个实体,只关注印度市场,因为你不会有竞争力。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。”
Pardeep克里,总裁和首席执行官。(档案照片)
总裁兼首席执行官Pardeep克里OpenRAN专业Mavenir说,该公司应被视为一家印度公司参与国家的5 g的旅程。与ET的丹麦汗,克里说,Mavenir在印度投资,其知识产权在4 g和5 g技术居住在印度。他还讨论了Mavenir与沃达丰的工作理念和Airtel和竞争依赖Jio。编辑摘录。
Mavenir扮演什么角色可以在印度前进吗?
当我们总部在美国,我们在印度进行巨大的投资,和所做的大部分工作离开这里,没有其他印度公司正在做的事情。我们和其他人一样好印第安人。
我相信Mavenir应被视为其他印度公司。让我们在相同的规则下玩。因为对我来说,它实际上是印度的缺点如果我们不从,镜头。我不认为这对印度政府推动印度创建一个实体,它将只关注印度市场,因为你不会在全球竞争。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。
如果每一个政府都开始这样做,它也不会帮助任何人和外面的实体将有困难,因为他们会被视为“好的,他们是由印度政府对印度市场……为什么他们应该被允许玩同样的方式吗?“华为有同样的问题…所以,为什么重复自己的错误,而别人试过和惨败吗?政府不应该采取这种方法。我们有开放的技术,我们总部不重要。
你如何看待印度作为一个市场和研发基地吗?
在印度超过60%的劳动力。我们在班加罗尔设有办事处,Bhubaneshwar,浦那和德里。我们有核心研发和l在印度的支持。即使我们的系统部署在美国或德国或其他地方的支持工作以及研发完成在印度。
印度市场对我们非常重要。我们已经与印度的运营商合作。我们有在沃达丰的想法和旅馆。我们之前在Jio他们开始做自己的事情。5 g频谱拍卖将在今年某个时候发生和电信公司将开始构建自己的网络。
印度是四举措的一部分。作为大会的一部分在美国政府中,我们讨论了,印度将是一个好的策略部署OpenRAN只。我们跟印度的运营商,他们愿意采用OpenRAN。
看好印度电信公司是如何在OpenRAN准备5 g ?你与他们吗?
有一件事是,你不能用中国供应商5 g,导致有限的选项。但是,更重要的是,在供应链OpenRAN给你更多的灵活性。目前,电信公司购买专有的解决方案是出口到印度市场相比OpenRAN解决方案,包括软件和硬件,可以建在印度制造。
我们已经与捷普集团建立无线电在浦那。印度的运营商是否使用与否,我们实际上是构建全球收音机在浦那。如果印度电信公司接我们部署之后我们会有艘收音机部署在印度。同样,服务器是我们正在关注的事情,相信服务器技术可以构建在印度。
在印度软件是无论如何完成。所以,很大程度上,尽管我们不是一家印度公司,我们让一切在印度的所有组件。
你想与印度电信设备制造商提供一个端到端的5 g OpenRAN栈?
例如在BSNL,当政府规则,我们与印度公司合作。我们甚至我们的IP搬到印度。我们我们是谁,我们不能改变其他东西,因为我们是US-headquartered公司在美国和我们的投资者。
但是,我们的工作主要是在印度完成。我们愿意与印度公司合作。马恒达科技公司我们已经使用盐酸。Wipro和印孚瑟斯部署在世界各地。
你的意见设计驱动5 g制造业PLI由印度政府计划?你认为Mavenir可以利用计划?
4 g的IP和5 g居住在印度的实体。我们可以授权系统集成商。没有主要的OEM,到目前为止完成的。然而,我们不想改变我们的策略的基础上,政府政策。在印度我们花费我们的钱。我们的知识产权是建立在印度,但它仍然是我们实体的一部分,我们不能改变。
Mavenir筹集了5亿美元用于研发和扩张。有多少被用于印度市场吗?
我们花的钱在做研发在很大程度上和现在在销售和营销,这是全球性的。很多新资金进入实际投资在印度。我们已经扩大了我们的位置。我们收购的公司,在印度的业务。所以我们一直在收购公司也遵循同样的轨迹与研发在印度和世界各地的销售和营销。
也尽管COVID形势在过去的1.5年,我们增加了1500名新员工在印度投资,我们必须扩大我们的研发工作。
如果你不想在中国雇佣员工。只有一个地方你可以…在印度。不是有很多地方你可以雇佣人。
你认为在初始阶段,OpenRAN将5 g网络的一部分?
我们是一个领先的球员OpenRAN。我们与所有市场的客户和运营商有兴趣但是我们不能宣布比已经在公共领域。不止是在公共领域对我们参与电信公司在印度。在第一阶段,走向OpenRAN电信公司的计划。
多少比例的网络可以OpenRAN最初?
如果成功的话,那么它应该是100%。当然,如果它不工作,它会好的。非常小。正确的。它是在其他地方工作。所以我认为,如果成功的话,我想说你知道,他们应该采用100%。以分阶段的方式,它将工作。电信公司必须熟悉这项技术。
读也
系统集成的成本是一个挑战,让电信公司感到困扰吗?
我们实际上是方便他们。我们已经使用像戴尔这样的球员,RedHat和使用与我们自己的硬件和软件提供一个综合的解决方案。
有互操作性测试实验室设置。我们已经测试了16个不同的供应商。所以,一旦发生了生态系统的成熟,它将通过多个玩家。但是,最初,电信公司宁愿一个厂商。但是,他们只用了一年发现OpenRAN只是工作。
你是开放获取更多的公司来支持你的位置标记
t ?
我们几乎每年收购一家公司。我们买了ip。实际上在2020年的访问。去年,我们买了一家名为Telestax。他们也有部署中心在印度,所以大约每年一个收购。
你周围的任何可能性与信实Jio 5 g ?
他们拿起合作伙伴。如果他们的愿望是把他们的解决方案之外就会认为我们是一个公司的竞争。他们会喜欢的球员,他们认为工作而不是出去时不会挑战者。但是,另一方面,如果只是为他们的网络,我们可能是合适的合作伙伴。
最后的评论吗?
嗯,我们都投资于印度和印度继续投资。自2005年以来,我们一直在这样做。所以它不是昨天开始的。所以我们致力于印度是否它帮助或印度的运营商帮助。我们正在建设打开收音机。印度政府可以投资创建开放的广播公司,它可以为不同的市场。构建不同的变体。
Pardeep Kohli, President & CEO. (file photo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Pardeep Kohli, president and chief executive officer of OpenRAN major Mavenir<\/a> said that the company should be considered as an Indian company to participate in the country’s 5G journey. In an interaction with ET’s Danish Khan, Kohli said that Mavenir is well invested in India and has its intellectual property around 4G and 5G technologies residing in India. He also discussed Mavenir’s work with Vodafone Idea and Airtel and competition with Reliance Jio<\/a>. Edited excerpts.
What role Mavenir could be playing in India going forward?<\/strong>
While we are headquartered in the US, we make huge investments in India, and are doing most of our work out of here, which no other Indian company is doing. We are as good Indians as anybody else.
I believe that Mavenir should be seen as any other Indian company. Let us play under the same rules. Because to me, it's actually to India's disadvantage if we are not seen from that lens. I don't think it's good for the Indian government to push create an Indian entity, which will focus on the Indian market only, because then you won't be competitive globally. You may have a substandard solution in India, which won't meet the world quality market.
If every government starts doing that, it won't help anybody and the entity will have trouble going outside, because they will be viewed as “okay, they were created by the Indian Government for the Indian market...so why should they be allowed to play the same way?” Huawei had the same troubles…So, why repeat their mistakes, which other people tried and got hammered with? The Government should not take that approach. We have open technology and it shouldn’t matter where we are headquartered.
How do you see India as a market and base for your R&D?<\/strong>
More than 60% of our workforce is in India. We have offices in Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Pune and Delhi. We do actually have our core R&D and l support in India. Even if our systems are deployed in the US or Germany or other places the support work along with R&D is getting done in India.
The Indian market is important to us. We have been working with Indian operators. We have our presence in Vodafone Idea and Airtel. We were present in Jio before they started doing their own thing. 5G spectrum auction will happen sometime this year and telcos will start building their networks out.
India is part of the QUAD initiative. As part of that general meeting within the US government, we discussed that a good strategy for India would be to deploy OpenRAN only. We are talking to Indian operators and they would like to adopt OpenRAN.
How bullish Indian telcos are on OpenRAN as they prepare for 5G? Are you engaging with them?
<\/strong>
One thing is that you can't use Chinese vendors for 5G, resulting in limited options. But, more importantly, OpenRAN gives you more flexibility on the supply chain. Currently, telcos buy proprietary solutions which are exported to the Indian market as compared to OpenRAN solutions including the software and hardware which can be built and manufactured in India.
We're already building radios with Jabil in Pune. Whether Indian operators use it or not, we are actually building worldwide radios in Pune. If Indian telcos pick us for deployment then we would have Indian-built radios deployed in India. Similarly, servers are something we are working on and believe that the server technology can be built in India.
Software is anyway getting done in India. So, largely even though we are not an Indian company, we are enabling everything made in India with all the components.
Do you want to collaborate with Indian telecom gear makers to offer an end-to-end 5G OpenRAN stack?
<\/strong>
In BSNL for example, when the government made the rules, we actually worked with Indian companies. We even moved our IP to India. We are who we are and we can’t change it to something else because we are a US-headquartered company and our investors are in the US.
But, our work is largely getting done in India. We are willing to partner with Indian companies. We are already working with Tech Mahindra, HCL. Wipro and Infosys for our deployments all over the world.
Your views on the design-led 5G manufacturing PLI scheme by the Indian government? Do you think Mavenir can take advantage of the scheme?<\/strong>
The IP for our 4G and 5G residing within the Indian entity. And, we can licence to system integrators. No major OEM has done that so far. However, we don't want to change our strategy based on the government policy. We're spending our money in India. Our intellectual property is based in India, but it's still part of the US entity, which we cannot change.
Mavenir raised $500 million to fund the R&D and expansion. How much of it is being used for the Indian market?
<\/strong>
We spend the money in doing R&D to a large extent and now in sales and marketing, which is global. A lot of new money went into actual investment in India. We have expanded our locations. We actually acquired companies, which had a presence in India as well. So we have been kind of acquiring companies, which are also following the same trajectory with R&D being in India and sales and marketing all over the world.
Also despite the COVID situation during the last 1.5 years, we added 1500 employees in India with the investment that we have got to expand our R&D work.
If you don't want to hire people in China. There's only one place you can get it… in India. There’s not many places where you can hire people.
Do you think that in the initial phase, OpenRAN will be a part of the 5G networks? <\/strong>
We are one of the leading players in OpenRAN. We have engaged with all the customers in the market and all operators have shown interest but we can’t announce more than what is already there in the public domain. There is more than what is in the public domain with respect to our engagement with telcos in India. In the first phase, it is in telcos’ plan to move towards OpenRAN.
And how much percentage of the network can be OpenRAN initially?<\/strong>
If it works, then it should be 100%. Of course, if it doesn't work, it will be okay. Very small. Right. And, it is working in other places. So I would think that if it works, I would say you know, they should just adopt it 100%. In a phased manner, it will work. Telcos will have to get comfortable with the technology.

Is system integration cost a challenge that is bothering telcos?
<\/strong>
We are actually making it easier for them. We already work with players like Dell, RedHat and use their hardware and software with our own to offer a combined solution.
There are interoperability labs setups across to test. We have already tested with 16 different vendors. So, once the maturity of the ecosystem happens, it will be done through multiple players. But, initially, telcos would prefer one vendor to run. But, it took them just one year to figure out that OpenRAN just works.
Are you open to acquiring more companies to bolster your position in the marke<\/strong>t?<\/strong>
We pretty much acquire one company every year. We bought ip.access actually in 2020. Last year, we bought a company called Telestax. They also have a deployment centre in India, so roughly one acquisition per year.
Do you see any possibility around partnering with Reliance Jio on 5G?<\/strong>
They picked up partners they wanted to work with. If their desire is to take their solution outside then they will view us as a company competition. They will rather work with the players who they think won't be challengers when they go out. But, on the other hand, if it is just for their network, we probably are the right partners.
Any last comments?
<\/strong>
Well, we are well invested in India and continue to invest in India. We have been doing that since 2005. So it's not something that started yesterday. So we are committed to India whether it helps or Indian operators help or not. We are building open radios. The Indian government can invest in creating open radio companies, which can build different variants for different markets. .

Currently, telcos buy proprietary solutions which are exported to the Indian market as compared to OpenRAN solutions including the software and hardware which can be built and manufactured in India.
We're already building radios with Jabil in Pune. Whether Indian operators use it or not, we are actually building worldwide radios in Pune. If Indian telcos pick us for deployment then we would have Indian-built radios deployed in India. Similarly, servers are something we are working on and believe that the server technology can be built in India.
Software is anyway getting done in India. So, largely even though we are not an Indian company, we are enabling everything made in India with all the components.
Do you want to collaborate with Indian telecom gear makers to offer an end-to-end 5G OpenRAN stack?
<\/strong>
In BSNL for example, when the government made the rules, we actually worked with Indian companies. We even moved our IP to India. We are who we are and we can’t change it to something else because we are a US-headquartered company and our investors are in the US.
But, our work is largely getting done in India. We are willing to partner with Indian companies. We are already working with Tech Mahindra, HCL. Wipro and Infosys for our deployments all over the world.
Your views on the design-led 5G manufacturing PLI scheme by the Indian government? Do you think Mavenir can take advantage of the scheme?<\/strong>
The IP for our 4G and 5G residing within the Indian entity. And, we can licence to system integrators. No major OEM has done that so far. However, we don't want to change our strategy based on the government policy. We're spending our money in India. Our intellectual property is based in India, but it's still part of the US entity, which we cannot change.
Mavenir raised $500 million to fund the R&D and expansion. How much of it is being used for the Indian market?
<\/strong>
We spend the money in doing R&D to a large extent and now in sales and marketing, which is global. A lot of new money went into actual investment in India. We have expanded our locations. We actually acquired companies, which had a presence in India as well. So we have been kind of acquiring companies, which are also following the same trajectory with R&D being in India and sales and marketing all over the world.
Also despite the COVID situation during the last 1.5 years, we added 1500 employees in India with the investment that we have got to expand our R&D work.
If you don't want to hire people in China. There's only one place you can get it… in India. There’s not many places where you can hire people.
Do you think that in the initial phase, OpenRAN will be a part of the 5G networks? <\/strong>
We are one of the leading players in OpenRAN. We have engaged with all the customers in the market and all operators have shown interest but we can’t announce more than what is already there in the public domain. There is more than what is in the public domain with respect to our engagement with telcos in India. In the first phase, it is in telcos’ plan to move towards OpenRAN.
And how much percentage of the network can be OpenRAN initially?<\/strong>
If it works, then it should be 100%. Of course, if it doesn't work, it will be okay. Very small. Right. And, it is working in other places. So I would think that if it works, I would say you know, they should just adopt it 100%. In a phased manner, it will work. Telcos will have to get comfortable with the technology.

Is system integration cost a challenge that is bothering telcos?
<\/strong>
We are actually making it easier for them. We already work with players like Dell, RedHat and use their hardware and software with our own to offer a combined solution.
There are interoperability labs setups across to test. We have already tested with 16 different vendors. So, once the maturity of the ecosystem happens, it will be done through multiple players. But, initially, telcos would prefer one vendor to run. But, it took them just one year to figure out that OpenRAN just works.
Are you open to acquiring more companies to bolster your position in the marke<\/strong>t?<\/strong>
We pretty much acquire one company every year. We bought ip.access actually in 2020. Last year, we bought a company called Telestax. They also have a deployment centre in India, so roughly one acquisition per year.
Do you see any possibility around partnering with Reliance Jio on 5G?<\/strong>
They picked up partners they wanted to work with. If their desire is to take their solution outside then they will view us as a company competition. They will rather work with the players who they think won't be challengers when they go out. But, on the other hand, if it is just for their network, we probably are the right partners.
Any last comments?
<\/strong>
Well, we are well invested in India and continue to invest in India. We have been doing that since 2005. So it's not something that started yesterday. So we are committed to India whether it helps or Indian operators help or not. We are building open radios. The Indian government can invest in creating open radio companies, which can build different variants for different markets. .

乐动娱乐招聘ETTelecom采访:Mavenir应该被认为是一家印度公司,克里Pardeep总裁兼首席执行官说
“我不认为这对印度政府说印度创建一个实体,只关注印度市场,因为你不会有竞争力。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。”
Pardeep克里,总裁和首席执行官。(档案照片)
总裁兼首席执行官Pardeep克里OpenRAN专业Mavenir说,该公司应被视为一家印度公司参与国家的5 g的旅程。与ET的丹麦汗,克里说,Mavenir在印度投资,其知识产权在4 g和5 g技术居住在印度。他还讨论了Mavenir与沃达丰的工作理念和Airtel和竞争依赖Jio。编辑摘录。
Mavenir扮演什么角色可以在印度前进吗?
当我们总部在美国,我们在印度进行巨大的投资,和所做的大部分工作离开这里,没有其他印度公司正在做的事情。我们和其他人一样好印第安人。
我相信Mavenir应被视为其他印度公司。让我们在相同的规则下玩。因为对我来说,它实际上是印度的缺点如果我们不从,镜头。我不认为这对印度政府推动印度创建一个实体,它将只关注印度市场,因为你不会在全球竞争。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。
如果每一个政府都开始这样做,它也不会帮助任何人和外面的实体将有困难,因为他们会被视为“好的,他们是由印度政府对印度市场……为什么他们应该被允许玩同样的方式吗?“华为有同样的问题…所以,为什么重复自己的错误,而别人试过和惨败吗?政府不应该采取这种方法。我们有开放的技术,我们总部不重要。
你如何看待印度作为一个市场和研发基地吗?
在印度超过60%的劳动力。我们在班加罗尔设有办事处,Bhubaneshwar,浦那和德里。我们有核心研发和l在印度的支持。即使我们的系统部署在美国或德国或其他地方的支持工作以及研发完成在印度。
印度市场对我们非常重要。我们已经与印度的运营商合作。我们有在沃达丰的想法和旅馆。我们之前在Jio他们开始做自己的事情。5 g频谱拍卖将在今年某个时候发生和电信公司将开始构建自己的网络。
印度是四举措的一部分。作为大会的一部分在美国政府中,我们讨论了,印度将是一个好的策略部署OpenRAN只。我们跟印度的运营商,他们愿意采用OpenRAN。
看好印度电信公司是如何在OpenRAN准备5 g ?你与他们吗?
有一件事是,你不能用中国供应商5 g,导致有限的选项。但是,更重要的是,在供应链OpenRAN给你更多的灵活性。目前,电信公司购买专有的解决方案是出口到印度市场相比OpenRAN解决方案,包括软件和硬件,可以建在印度制造。
我们已经与捷普集团建立无线电在浦那。印度的运营商是否使用与否,我们实际上是构建全球收音机在浦那。如果印度电信公司接我们部署之后我们会有艘收音机部署在印度。同样,服务器是我们正在关注的事情,相信服务器技术可以构建在印度。
在印度软件是无论如何完成。所以,很大程度上,尽管我们不是一家印度公司,我们让一切在印度的所有组件。
你想与印度电信设备制造商提供一个端到端的5 g OpenRAN栈?
例如在BSNL,当政府规则,我们与印度公司合作。我们甚至我们的IP搬到印度。我们我们是谁,我们不能改变其他东西,因为我们是US-headquartered公司在美国和我们的投资者。
但是,我们的工作主要是在印度完成。我们愿意与印度公司合作。马恒达科技公司我们已经使用盐酸。Wipro和印孚瑟斯部署在世界各地。
你的意见设计驱动5 g制造业PLI由印度政府计划?你认为Mavenir可以利用计划?
4 g的IP和5 g居住在印度的实体。我们可以授权系统集成商。没有主要的OEM,到目前为止完成的。然而,我们不想改变我们的策略的基础上,政府政策。在印度我们花费我们的钱。我们的知识产权是建立在印度,但它仍然是我们实体的一部分,我们不能改变。
Mavenir筹集了5亿美元用于研发和扩张。有多少被用于印度市场吗?
我们花的钱在做研发在很大程度上和现在在销售和营销,这是全球性的。很多新资金进入实际投资在印度。我们已经扩大了我们的位置。我们收购的公司,在印度的业务。所以我们一直在收购公司也遵循同样的轨迹与研发在印度和世界各地的销售和营销。
也尽管COVID形势在过去的1.5年,我们增加了1500名新员工在印度投资,我们必须扩大我们的研发工作。
如果你不想在中国雇佣员工。只有一个地方你可以…在印度。不是有很多地方你可以雇佣人。
你认为在初始阶段,OpenRAN将5 g网络的一部分?
我们是一个领先的球员OpenRAN。我们与所有市场的客户和运营商有兴趣但是我们不能宣布比已经在公共领域。不止是在公共领域对我们参与电信公司在印度。在第一阶段,走向OpenRAN电信公司的计划。
多少比例的网络可以OpenRAN最初?
如果成功的话,那么它应该是100%。当然,如果它不工作,它会好的。非常小。正确的。它是在其他地方工作。所以我认为,如果成功的话,我想说你知道,他们应该采用100%。以分阶段的方式,它将工作。电信公司必须熟悉这项技术。
读也
系统集成的成本是一个挑战,让电信公司感到困扰吗?
我们实际上是方便他们。我们已经使用像戴尔这样的球员,RedHat和使用与我们自己的硬件和软件提供一个综合的解决方案。
有互操作性测试实验室设置。我们已经测试了16个不同的供应商。所以,一旦发生了生态系统的成熟,它将通过多个玩家。但是,最初,电信公司宁愿一个厂商。但是,他们只用了一年发现OpenRAN只是工作。
你是开放获取更多的公司来支持你的位置标记
t ?
我们几乎每年收购一家公司。我们买了ip。实际上在2020年的访问。去年,我们买了一家名为Telestax。他们也有部署中心在印度,所以大约每年一个收购。
你周围的任何可能性与信实Jio 5 g ?
他们拿起合作伙伴。如果他们的愿望是把他们的解决方案之外就会认为我们是一个公司的竞争。他们会喜欢的球员,他们认为工作而不是出去时不会挑战者。但是,另一方面,如果只是为他们的网络,我们可能是合适的合作伙伴。
最后的评论吗?
嗯,我们都投资于印度和印度继续投资。自2005年以来,我们一直在这样做。所以它不是昨天开始的。所以我们致力于印度是否它帮助或印度的运营商帮助。我们正在建设打开收音机。印度政府可以投资创建开放的广播公司,它可以为不同的市场。构建不同的变体。
Pardeep Kohli, President & CEO. (file photo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Pardeep Kohli, president and chief executive officer of OpenRAN major Mavenir<\/a> said that the company should be considered as an Indian company to participate in the country’s 5G journey. In an interaction with ET’s Danish Khan, Kohli said that Mavenir is well invested in India and has its intellectual property around 4G and 5G technologies residing in India. He also discussed Mavenir’s work with Vodafone Idea and Airtel and competition with Reliance Jio<\/a>. Edited excerpts.
What role Mavenir could be playing in India going forward?<\/strong>
While we are headquartered in the US, we make huge investments in India, and are doing most of our work out of here, which no other Indian company is doing. We are as good Indians as anybody else.
I believe that Mavenir should be seen as any other Indian company. Let us play under the same rules. Because to me, it's actually to India's disadvantage if we are not seen from that lens. I don't think it's good for the Indian government to push create an Indian entity, which will focus on the Indian market only, because then you won't be competitive globally. You may have a substandard solution in India, which won't meet the world quality market.
If every government starts doing that, it won't help anybody and the entity will have trouble going outside, because they will be viewed as “okay, they were created by the Indian Government for the Indian market...so why should they be allowed to play the same way?” Huawei had the same troubles…So, why repeat their mistakes, which other people tried and got hammered with? The Government should not take that approach. We have open technology and it shouldn’t matter where we are headquartered.
How do you see India as a market and base for your R&D?<\/strong>
More than 60% of our workforce is in India. We have offices in Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Pune and Delhi. We do actually have our core R&D and l support in India. Even if our systems are deployed in the US or Germany or other places the support work along with R&D is getting done in India.
The Indian market is important to us. We have been working with Indian operators. We have our presence in Vodafone Idea and Airtel. We were present in Jio before they started doing their own thing. 5G spectrum auction will happen sometime this year and telcos will start building their networks out.
India is part of the QUAD initiative. As part of that general meeting within the US government, we discussed that a good strategy for India would be to deploy OpenRAN only. We are talking to Indian operators and they would like to adopt OpenRAN.
How bullish Indian telcos are on OpenRAN as they prepare for 5G? Are you engaging with them?
<\/strong>
One thing is that you can't use Chinese vendors for 5G, resulting in limited options. But, more importantly, OpenRAN gives you more flexibility on the supply chain. Currently, telcos buy proprietary solutions which are exported to the Indian market as compared to OpenRAN solutions including the software and hardware which can be built and manufactured in India.

We are actually making it easier for them. We already work with players like Dell, RedHat and use their hardware and software with our own to offer a combined solution.
There are interoperability labs setups across to test. We have already tested with 16 different vendors. So, once the maturity of the ecosystem happens, it will be done through multiple players.

总裁兼首席执行官Pardeep克里OpenRAN专业Mavenir说,该公司应被视为一家印度公司参与国家的5 g的旅程。与ET的丹麦汗,克里说,Mavenir在印度投资,其知识产权在4 g和5 g技术居住在印度。他还讨论了Mavenir与沃达丰的工作理念和Airtel和竞争依赖Jio。编辑摘录。
Mavenir扮演什么角色可以在印度前进吗?
当我们总部在美国,我们在印度进行巨大的投资,和所做的大部分工作离开这里,没有其他印度公司正在做的事情。我们和其他人一样好印第安人。
我相信Mavenir应被视为其他印度公司。让我们在相同的规则下玩。因为对我来说,它实际上是印度的缺点如果我们不从,镜头。我不认为这对印度政府推动印度创建一个实体,它将只关注印度市场,因为你不会在全球竞争。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。
如果每一个政府都开始这样做,它也不会帮助任何人和外面的实体将有困难,因为他们会被视为“好的,他们是由印度政府对印度市场……为什么他们应该被允许玩同样的方式吗?“华为有同样的问题…所以,为什么重复自己的错误,而别人试过和惨败吗?政府不应该采取这种方法。我们有开放的技术,我们总部不重要。
你如何看待印度作为一个市场和研发基地吗?
在印度超过60%的劳动力。我们在班加罗尔设有办事处,Bhubaneshwar,浦那和德里。我们有核心研发和l在印度的支持。即使我们的系统部署在美国或德国或其他地方的支持工作以及研发完成在印度。
印度市场对我们非常重要。我们已经与印度的运营商合作。我们有在沃达丰的想法和旅馆。我们之前在Jio他们开始做自己的事情。5 g频谱拍卖将在今年某个时候发生和电信公司将开始构建自己的网络。
印度是四举措的一部分。作为大会的一部分在美国政府中,我们讨论了,印度将是一个好的策略部署OpenRAN只。我们跟印度的运营商,他们愿意采用OpenRAN。
看好印度电信公司是如何在OpenRAN准备5 g ?你与他们吗?
有一件事是,你不能用中国供应商5 g,导致有限的选项。但是,更重要的是,在供应链OpenRAN给你更多的灵活性。目前,电信公司购买专有的解决方案是出口到印度市场相比OpenRAN解决方案,包括软件和硬件,可以建在印度制造。
我们已经与捷普集团建立无线电在浦那。印度的运营商是否使用与否,我们实际上是构建全球收音机在浦那。如果印度电信公司接我们部署之后我们会有艘收音机部署在印度。同样,服务器是我们正在关注的事情,相信服务器技术可以构建在印度。
在印度软件是无论如何完成。所以,很大程度上,尽管我们不是一家印度公司,我们让一切在印度的所有组件。
你想与印度电信设备制造商提供一个端到端的5 g OpenRAN栈?
例如在BSNL,当政府规则,我们与印度公司合作。我们甚至我们的IP搬到印度。我们我们是谁,我们不能改变其他东西,因为我们是US-headquartered公司在美国和我们的投资者。
但是,我们的工作主要是在印度完成。我们愿意与印度公司合作。马恒达科技公司我们已经使用盐酸。Wipro和印孚瑟斯部署在世界各地。
你的意见设计驱动5 g制造业PLI由印度政府计划?你认为Mavenir可以利用计划?
4 g的IP和5 g居住在印度的实体。我们可以授权系统集成商。没有主要的OEM,到目前为止完成的。然而,我们不想改变我们的策略的基础上,政府政策。在印度我们花费我们的钱。我们的知识产权是建立在印度,但它仍然是我们实体的一部分,我们不能改变。
Mavenir筹集了5亿美元用于研发和扩张。有多少被用于印度市场吗?
我们花的钱在做研发在很大程度上和现在在销售和营销,这是全球性的。很多新资金进入实际投资在印度。我们已经扩大了我们的位置。我们收购的公司,在印度的业务。所以我们一直在收购公司也遵循同样的轨迹与研发在印度和世界各地的销售和营销。
也尽管COVID形势在过去的1.5年,我们增加了1500名新员工在印度投资,我们必须扩大我们的研发工作。
如果你不想在中国雇佣员工。只有一个地方你可以…在印度。不是有很多地方你可以雇佣人。
你认为在初始阶段,OpenRAN将5 g网络的一部分?
我们是一个领先的球员OpenRAN。我们与所有市场的客户和运营商有兴趣但是我们不能宣布比已经在公共领域。不止是在公共领域对我们参与电信公司在印度。在第一阶段,走向OpenRAN电信公司的计划。
多少比例的网络可以OpenRAN最初?
如果成功的话,那么它应该是100%。当然,如果它不工作,它会好的。非常小。正确的。它是在其他地方工作。所以我认为,如果成功的话,我想说你知道,他们应该采用100%。以分阶段的方式,它将工作。电信公司必须熟悉这项技术。

系统集成的成本是一个挑战,让电信公司感到困扰吗?
我们实际上是方便他们。我们已经使用像戴尔这样的球员,RedHat和使用与我们自己的硬件和软件提供一个综合的解决方案。
有互操作性测试实验室设置。我们已经测试了16个不同的供应商。所以,一旦发生了生态系统的成熟,它将通过多个玩家。但是,最初,电信公司宁愿一个厂商。但是,他们只用了一年发现OpenRAN只是工作。
你是开放获取更多的公司来支持你的位置标记
t ?
我们几乎每年收购一家公司。我们买了ip。实际上在2020年的访问。去年,我们买了一家名为Telestax。他们也有部署中心在印度,所以大约每年一个收购。
你周围的任何可能性与信实Jio 5 g ?
他们拿起合作伙伴。如果他们的愿望是把他们的解决方案之外就会认为我们是一个公司的竞争。他们会喜欢的球员,他们认为工作而不是出去时不会挑战者。但是,另一方面,如果只是为他们的网络,我们可能是合适的合作伙伴。
最后的评论吗?
嗯,我们都投资于印度和印度继续投资。自2005年以来,我们一直在这样做。所以它不是昨天开始的。所以我们致力于印度是否它帮助或印度的运营商帮助。我们正在建设打开收音机。印度政府可以投资创建开放的广播公司,它可以为不同的市场。构建不同的变体。
Pardeep Kohli, President & CEO. (file photo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Pardeep Kohli, president and chief executive officer of OpenRAN major Mavenir<\/a> said that the company should be considered as an Indian company to participate in the country’s 5G journey. In an interaction with ET’s Danish Khan, Kohli said that Mavenir is well invested in India and has its intellectual property around 4G and 5G technologies residing in India. He also discussed Mavenir’s work with Vodafone Idea and Airtel and competition with Reliance Jio<\/a>. Edited excerpts.
What role Mavenir could be playing in India going forward?<\/strong>
While we are headquartered in the US, we make huge investments in India, and are doing most of our work out of here, which no other Indian company is doing. We are as good Indians as anybody else.
I believe that Mavenir should be seen as any other Indian company. Let us play under the same rules. Because to me, it's actually to India's disadvantage if we are not seen from that lens. I don't think it's good for the Indian government to push create an Indian entity, which will focus on the Indian market only, because then you won't be competitive globally. You may have a substandard solution in India, which won't meet the world quality market.
If every government starts doing that, it won't help anybody and the entity will have trouble going outside, because they will be viewed as “okay, they were created by the Indian Government for the Indian market...so why should they be allowed to play the same way?” Huawei had the same troubles…So, why repeat their mistakes, which other people tried and got hammered with? The Government should not take that approach. We have open technology and it shouldn’t matter where we are headquartered.
How do you see India as a market and base for your R&D?<\/strong>
More than 60% of our workforce is in India. We have offices in Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Pune and Delhi. We do actually have our core R&D and l support in India. Even if our systems are deployed in the US or Germany or other places the support work along with R&D is getting done in India.
The Indian market is important to us. We have been working with Indian operators. We have our presence in Vodafone Idea and Airtel. We were present in Jio before they started doing their own thing. 5G spectrum auction will happen sometime this year and telcos will start building their networks out.
India is part of the QUAD initiative. As part of that general meeting within the US government, we discussed that a good strategy for India would be to deploy OpenRAN only. We are talking to Indian operators and they would like to adopt OpenRAN.
How bullish Indian telcos are on OpenRAN as they prepare for 5G? Are you engaging with them?
<\/strong>
One thing is that you can't use Chinese vendors for 5G, resulting in limited options. But, more importantly, OpenRAN gives you more flexibility on the supply chain. Currently, telcos buy proprietary solutions which are exported to the Indian market as compared to OpenRAN solutions including the software and hardware which can be built and manufactured in India.
We're already building radios with Jabil in Pune. Whether Indian operators use it or not, we are actually building worldwide radios in Pune. If Indian telcos pick us for deployment then we would have Indian-built radios deployed in India. Similarly, servers are something we are working on and believe that the server technology can be built in India.
Software is anyway getting done in India. So, largely even though we are not an Indian company, we are enabling everything made in India with all the components.
Do you want to collaborate with Indian telecom gear makers to offer an end-to-end 5G OpenRAN stack?
<\/strong>
In BSNL for example, when the government made the rules, we actually worked with Indian companies. We even moved our IP to India. We are who we are and we can’t change it to something else because we are a US-headquartered company and our investors are in the US.
But, our work is largely getting done in India. We are willing to partner with Indian companies. We are already working with Tech Mahindra, HCL. Wipro and Infosys for our deployments all over the world.
Your views on the design-led 5G manufacturing PLI scheme by the Indian government? Do you think Mavenir can take advantage of the scheme?<\/strong>
The IP for our 4G and 5G residing within the Indian entity. And, we can licence to system integrators. No major OEM has done that so far. However, we don't want to change our strategy based on the government policy. We're spending our money in India. Our intellectual property is based in India, but it's still part of the US entity, which we cannot change.
Mavenir raised $500 million to fund the R&D and expansion. How much of it is being used for the Indian market?
<\/strong>
We spend the money in doing R&D to a large extent and now in sales and marketing, which is global. A lot of new money went into actual investment in India. We have expanded our locations. We actually acquired companies, which had a presence in India as well. So we have been kind of acquiring companies, which are also following the same trajectory with R&D being in India and sales and marketing all over the world.
Also despite the COVID situation during the last 1.5 years, we added 1500 employees in India with the investment that we have got to expand our R&D work.
If you don't want to hire people in China. There's only one place you can get it… in India. There’s not many places where you can hire people.
Do you think that in the initial phase, OpenRAN will be a part of the 5G networks? <\/strong>
We are one of the leading players in OpenRAN. We have engaged with all the customers in the market and all operators have shown interest but we can’t announce more than what is already there in the public domain. There is more than what is in the public domain with respect to our engagement with telcos in India. In the first phase, it is in telcos’ plan to move towards OpenRAN.
And how much percentage of the network can be OpenRAN initially?<\/strong>
If it works, then it should be 100%. Of course, if it doesn't work, it will be okay. Very small. Right. And, it is working in other places. So I would think that if it works, I would say you know, they should just adopt it 100%. In a phased manner, it will work. Telcos will have to get comfortable with the technology.

Is system integration cost a challenge that is bothering telcos?
<\/strong>
We are actually making it easier for them. We already work with players like Dell, RedHat and use their hardware and software with our own to offer a combined solution.
There are interoperability labs setups across to test. We have already tested with 16 different vendors. So, once the maturity of the ecosystem happens, it will be done through multiple players. But, initially, telcos would prefer one vendor to run. But, it took them just one year to figure out that OpenRAN just works.
Are you open to acquiring more companies to bolster your position in the marke<\/strong>t?<\/strong>
We pretty much acquire one company every year. We bought ip.access actually in 2020. Last year, we bought a company called Telestax. They also have a deployment centre in India, so roughly one acquisition per year.
Do you see any possibility around partnering with Reliance Jio on 5G?<\/strong>
They picked up partners they wanted to work with. If their desire is to take their solution outside then they will view us as a company competition. They will rather work with the players who they think won't be challengers when they go out. But, on the other hand, if it is just for their network, we probably are the right partners.
Any last comments?
<\/strong>
Well, we are well invested in India and continue to invest in India. We have been doing that since 2005. So it's not something that started yesterday. So we are committed to India whether it helps or Indian operators help or not. We are building open radios. The Indian government can invest in creating open radio companies, which can build different variants for different markets. .

乐动娱乐招聘ETTelecom采访:Mavenir应该被认为是一家印度公司,克里Pardeep总裁兼首席执行官说
“我不认为这对印度政府说印度创建一个实体,只关注印度市场,因为你不会有竞争力。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。”
读到
Mavenir扮演什么角色可以在印度前进吗?
当我们总部在美国,我们在印度进行巨大的投资,和所做的大部分工作离开这里,没有其他印度公司正在做的事情。我们和其他人一样好印第安人。
我相信Mavenir应被视为其他印度公司。让我们在相同的规则下玩。因为对我来说,它实际上是印度的缺点如果我们不从,镜头。我不认为这对印度政府推动印度创建一个实体,它将只关注印度市场,因为你不会在全球竞争。你可能有一个不合格的解决方案在印度,它不会满足世界市场质量。
如果每一个政府都开始这样做,它也不会帮助任何人和外面的实体将有困难,因为他们会被视为“好的,他们是由印度政府对印度市场……为什么他们应该被允许玩同样的方式吗?“华为有同样的问题…所以,为什么重复自己的错误,而别人试过和惨败吗?政府不应该采取这种方法。我们有开放的技术,我们总部不重要。
你如何看待印度作为一个市场和研发基地吗?
在印度超过60%的劳动力。我们在班加罗尔设有办事处,Bhubaneshwar,浦那和德里。我们有核心研发和l在印度的支持。即使我们的系统部署在美国或德国或其他地方的支持工作以及研发完成在印度。
印度市场对我们非常重要。我们已经与印度的运营商合作。我们有在沃达丰的想法和旅馆。我们之前在Jio他们开始做自己的事情。5 g频谱拍卖将在今年某个时候发生和电信公司将开始构建自己的网络。
印度是四举措的一部分。作为大会的一部分在美国政府中,我们讨论了,印度将是一个好的策略部署OpenRAN只。我们跟印度的运营商,他们愿意采用OpenRAN。
看好印度电信公司是如何在OpenRAN准备5 g ?你与他们吗?
有一件事是,你不能用中国供应商5 g,导致有限的选项。但是,更重要的是,在供应链OpenRAN给你更多的灵活性。目前,电信公司购买专有的解决方案是出口到印度市场相比OpenRAN解决方案,包括软件和硬件,可以建在印度制造。
我们已经与捷普集团建立无线电在浦那。印度的运营商是否使用与否,我们实际上是构建全球收音机在浦那。如果印度电信公司接我们部署之后我们会有艘收音机部署在印度。同样,服务器是我们正在关注的事情,相信服务器技术可以构建在印度。
在印度软件是无论如何完成。所以,很大程度上,尽管我们不是一家印度公司,我们让一切在印度的所有组件。
你想与印度电信设备制造商提供一个端到端的5 g OpenRAN栈?
例如在BSNL,当政府规则,我们与印度公司合作。我们甚至我们的IP搬到印度。我们我们是谁,我们不能改变其他东西,因为我们是US-headquartered公司在美国和我们的投资者。
但是,我们的工作主要是在印度完成。我们愿意与印度公司合作。马恒达科技公司我们已经使用盐酸。Wipro和印孚瑟斯部署在世界各地。
你的意见设计驱动5 g制造业PLI由印度政府计划?你认为Mavenir可以利用计划?
4 g的IP和5 g居住在印度的实体。我们可以授权系统集成商。没有主要的OEM,到目前为止完成的。然而,我们不想改变我们的策略的基础上,政府政策。在印度我们花费我们的钱。我们的知识产权是建立在印度,但它仍然是我们实体的一部分,我们不能改变。
Mavenir筹集了5亿美元用于研发和扩张。有多少被用于印度市场吗?
我们花的钱在做研发在很大程度上和现在在销售和营销,这是全球性的。很多新资金进入实际投资在印度。我们已经扩大了我们的位置。我们收购的公司,在印度的业务。所以我们一直在收购公司也遵循同样的轨迹与研发在印度和世界各地的销售和营销。
也尽管COVID形势在过去的1.5年,我们增加了1500名新员工在印度投资,我们必须扩大我们的研发工作。
如果你不想在中国雇佣员工。只有一个地方你可以…在印度。不是有很多地方你可以雇佣人。
你认为在初始阶段,OpenRAN将5 g网络的一部分?
我们是一个领先的球员OpenRAN。我们与所有市场的客户和运营商有兴趣但是我们不能宣布比已经在公共领域。不止是在公共领域对我们参与电信公司在印度。在第一阶段,走向OpenRAN电信公司的计划。
多少比例的网络可以OpenRAN最初?
如果成功的话,那么它应该是100%。当然,如果它不工作,它会好的。非常小。正确的。它是在其他地方工作。所以我认为,如果成功的话,我想说你知道,他们应该采用100%。以分阶段的方式,它将工作。电信公司必须熟悉这项技术。
读也
系统集成的成本是一个挑战,让电信公司感到困扰吗?
我们实际上是方便他们。我们已经使用像戴尔这样的球员,RedHat和使用与我们自己的硬件和软件提供一个综合的解决方案。
有互操作性测试实验室设置。我们已经测试了16个不同的供应商。所以,一旦发生了生态系统的成熟,它将通过多个玩家。但是,最初,电信公司宁愿一个厂商。但是,他们只用了一年发现OpenRAN只是工作。
你是开放获取更多的公司来支持你的位置标记 t ?
我们几乎每年收购一家公司。我们买了ip。实际上在2020年的访问。去年,我们买了一家名为Telestax。他们也有部署中心在印度,所以大约每年一个收购。
你周围的任何可能性与信实Jio 5 g ?
他们拿起合作伙伴。如果他们的愿望是把他们的解决方案之外就会认为我们是一个公司的竞争。他们会喜欢的球员,他们认为工作而不是出去时不会挑战者。但是,另一方面,如果只是为他们的网络,我们可能是合适的合作伙伴。
最后的评论吗?
嗯,我们都投资于印度和印度继续投资。自2005年以来,我们一直在这样做。所以它不是昨天开始的。所以我们致力于印度是否它帮助或印度的运营商帮助。我们正在建设打开收音机。印度政府可以投资创建开放的广播公司,它可以为不同的市场。构建不同的变体。
What role Mavenir could be playing in India going forward?<\/strong>
While we are headquartered in the US, we make huge investments in India, and are doing most of our work out of here, which no other Indian company is doing. We are as good Indians as anybody else.
I believe that Mavenir should be seen as any other Indian company. Let us play under the same rules. Because to me, it's actually to India's disadvantage if we are not seen from that lens. I don't think it's good for the Indian government to push create an Indian entity, which will focus on the Indian market only, because then you won't be competitive globally. You may have a substandard solution in India, which won't meet the world quality market.
If every government starts doing that, it won't help anybody and the entity will have trouble going outside, because they will be viewed as “okay, they were created by the Indian Government for the Indian market...so why should they be allowed to play the same way?” Huawei had the same troubles…So, why repeat their mistakes, which other people tried and got hammered with? The Government should not take that approach. We have open technology and it shouldn’t matter where we are headquartered.
How do you see India as a market and base for your R&D?<\/strong>
More than 60% of our workforce is in India. We have offices in Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Pune and Delhi. We do actually have our core R&D and l support in India. Even if our systems are deployed in the US or Germany or other places the support work along with R&D is getting done in India.
The Indian market is important to us. We have been working with Indian operators. We have our presence in Vodafone Idea and Airtel. We were present in Jio before they started doing their own thing. 5G spectrum auction will happen sometime this year and telcos will start building their networks out.
India is part of the QUAD initiative. As part of that general meeting within the US government, we discussed that a good strategy for India would be to deploy OpenRAN only. We are talking to Indian operators and they would like to adopt OpenRAN.
How bullish Indian telcos are on OpenRAN as they prepare for 5G? Are you engaging with them?
<\/strong>
One thing is that you can't use Chinese vendors for 5G, resulting in limited options. But, more importantly, OpenRAN gives you more flexibility on the supply chain. Currently, telcos buy proprietary solutions which are exported to the Indian market as compared to OpenRAN solutions including the software and hardware which can be built and manufactured in India.
We're already building radios with Jabil in Pune. Whether Indian operators use it or not, we are actually building worldwide radios in Pune. If Indian telcos pick us for deployment then we would have Indian-built radios deployed in India. Similarly, servers are something we are working on and believe that the server technology can be built in India.
Software is anyway getting done in India. So, largely even though we are not an Indian company, we are enabling everything made in India with all the components.
Do you want to collaborate with Indian telecom gear makers to offer an end-to-end 5G OpenRAN stack?
<\/strong>
In BSNL for example, when the government made the rules, we actually worked with Indian companies. We even moved our IP to India. We are who we are and we can’t change it to something else because we are a US-headquartered company and our investors are in the US.
But, our work is largely getting done in India. We are willing to partner with Indian companies. We are already working with Tech Mahindra, HCL. Wipro and Infosys for our deployments all over the world.
Your views on the design-led 5G manufacturing PLI scheme by the Indian government? Do you think Mavenir can take advantage of the scheme?<\/strong>
The IP for our 4G and 5G residing within the Indian entity. And, we can licence to system integrators. No major OEM has done that so far. However, we don't want to change our strategy based on the government policy. We're spending our money in India. Our intellectual property is based in India, but it's still part of the US entity, which we cannot change.
Mavenir raised $500 million to fund the R&D and expansion. How much of it is being used for the Indian market?
<\/strong>
We spend the money in doing R&D to a large extent and now in sales and marketing, which is global. A lot of new money went into actual investment in India. We have expanded our locations. We actually acquired companies, which had a presence in India as well. So we have been kind of acquiring companies, which are also following the same trajectory with R&D being in India and sales and marketing all over the world.
Also despite the COVID situation during the last 1.5 years, we added 1500 employees in India with the investment that we have got to expand our R&D work.
If you don't want to hire people in China. There's only one place you can get it… in India. There’s not many places where you can hire people.
Do you think that in the initial phase, OpenRAN will be a part of the 5G networks? <\/strong>
We are one of the leading players in OpenRAN. We have engaged with all the customers in the market and all operators have shown interest but we can’t announce more than what is already there in the public domain. There is more than what is in the public domain with respect to our engagement with telcos in India. In the first phase, it is in telcos’ plan to move towards OpenRAN.
And how much percentage of the network can be OpenRAN initially?<\/strong>
If it works, then it should be 100%. Of course, if it doesn't work, it will be okay. Very small. Right. And, it is working in other places. So I would think that if it works, I would say you know, they should just adopt it 100%. In a phased manner, it will work. Telcos will have to get comfortable with the technology.

Is system integration cost a challenge that is bothering telcos?
<\/strong>
We are actually making it easier for them. We already work with players like Dell, RedHat and use their hardware and software with our own to offer a combined solution.
There are interoperability labs setups across to test. We have already tested with 16 different vendors. So, once the maturity of the ecosystem happens, it will be done through multiple players. But, initially, telcos would prefer one vendor to run. But, it took them just one year to figure out that OpenRAN just works.
Are you open to acquiring more companies to bolster your position in the marke<\/strong>t?<\/strong>
We pretty much acquire one company every year. We bought ip.access actually in 2020. Last year, we bought a company called Telestax. They also have a deployment centre in India, so roughly one acquisition per year.
Do you see any possibility around partnering with Reliance Jio on 5G?<\/strong>
They picked up partners they wanted to work with. If their desire is to take their solution outside then they will view us as a company competition. They will rather work with the players who they think won't be challengers when they go out. But, on the other hand, if it is just for their network, we probably are the right partners.
Any last comments?
<\/strong>
Well, we are well invested in India and continue to invest in India. We have been doing that since 2005. So it's not something that started yesterday. So we are committed to India whether it helps or Indian operators help or not. We are building open radios. The Indian government can invest in creating open radio companies, which can build different variants for different markets. .
