Airtel Business introduces IQ Gateway

News Desk, News Nation 360: Airtel Business, Bharti Airtel’s enterprise arm, has launched Airtel IQ Gateway, India’s first telco-grade network intelligence and customer communications platform, which unifies disparate messaging and voice channels under a single secure control plane; compliant with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, the sovereign platform consolidates SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, business voice, and network-first silent authentication, enabling BFSI, government, e-commerce, logistics, and other enterprises to mitigate fragmented multi-vendor management, delivery misreporting, and compliance bottlenecks of manual Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) template workflows, by integrating carrier-level intelligence layers including Airtel IQ Verify for proactive fraud scoring, SIM-binding authentication for elimination of SMS OTP vulnerabilities, and automated vendor failover, which proactively thwarts toll fraud and inflated billing from bot-driven International OTP pumping, with Airtel Business CEO Sharat Sinha stating that after successful trial deployments across major financial institutions, the solution embeds trust at the network layer as it debuts nationwide at the India Mobile Congress 2026.
