Mission of .Airtel is to be the entry point for all things Airtel – across geographies, products and services. It is to build brand recall and trust and build a seamless, consistent web experience. Numerous and often non-synergized conventions⁄ cybersquatting in the existing TLDs may mislead our customers to various phishing⁄malicious web sites, leading to possible online fraud.
