Airtel and Google partner to offer Google One subscription to its Postpaid and Wi-Fi customers

Hyderabad/New Delhi, May 20 (UNI) Bharti Airtel, a global communications solutions provider, and Google, on Tuesday, announced a partnership that brings a compelling Google One cloud storage subscription service for Airtel customers, helping address the mounting challenge of limited device storage.
All postpaid and Wi-Fi customers will get access to six months of 100 GB of Google One cloud storage at no extra cost. They will also be able to share this storage with up to five additional people, the private telecom provider said in a release.

The partnership aims to address the issue of growing data storage constraints faced by users by ensuring that customers have ample space to store their cherished photos, videos, documents, and other digital content without the need to frequently delete files or resort to expensive physical storage expansions.

Additionally, WhatsApp chats on Android are backed up to Google Account storage, which will make device switching easier for customers.
The cloud storage provision is compatible with both Android and iOS platforms, making it widely accessible to Airtel's diverse customer base.
Siddharth Sharma, Director Marketing and CEO – Connected Homes, Bharti Airtel, said, “With smartphones becoming the main device for managing both personal and professional information, storage has become a significant concern for users. This partnership will present an opportunity for millions of our postpaid, Wi-Fi customers, allowing them access to a further 100 GB of storage.”
Karen Teo, Vice President, Platforms & Devices Partnerships, APAC, Google, said, “We are excited to partner with Airtel to bring Google One to millions in India.
Together, we will make it easier for our users to safely back up photos, videos, and important files on their phones with more storage across Google Photos, Drive, Gmail, and more.”
As an introductory offer, the 100 GB cloud storage will be available at no extra cost for the first six months from the date of activation, enabling customers to back up their data and experience the convenience of cloud storage.

To avail of this offer, customers will have to simply log on to the Airtel Thanks App and claim the benefit. After six months of 100 GB storage at no charge, a nominal fee of Rs 125 per month will be added to the customer’s monthly bill. If a customer chooses not to continue the subscription, they can cease to be a Google One member.
With Google One storage, members can get 100 GB of cloud storage to use across Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail.
