Telecommunications provider du has launched a new Travel eSIM service aimed at enhancing connectivity for transit passengers passing through the United Arab Emirates . This initiative allows travellers to maintain seamless data connectivity across more than 190 countries without the need for physical SIM cards.

The Travel eSIM is designed to offer convenience and affordability to international travellers. By scanning a QR code, users can activate the eSIM on their compatible devices, enabling immediate access to data services without the hassle of purchasing local SIM cards or incurring roaming charges. This digital solution aligns with the global shift towards eSIM technology, which integrates SIM functions directly into devices, eliminating the need for physical cards.

Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO of du, highlighted the company’s commitment to enhancing customer experiences: “Our Travel eSIM is a testament to du’s dedication to innovation and customer-centric solutions. We understand the needs of modern travellers and aim to provide them with seamless connectivity, no matter where they are in the world.”

The eSIM offers a range of data bundles tailored to different durations and data requirements. For instance, users can select packages that provide unlimited data for specific periods, such as one day or seven days, depending on their travel needs. This flexibility ensures that both short-term visitors and long-term travellers can find a plan that suits their usage patterns.

To activate the eSIM, travellers can visit du’s official website or authorized retailers to purchase a data bundle. After completing the purchase, they receive a QR code, which, when scanned, installs the eSIM profile on their device. It’s recommended to activate the eSIM upon arrival at the destination to ensure the data bundle period aligns with the travel schedule. Devices must be eSIM compatible and network unlocked to utilize this service.

The introduction of the Travel eSIM addresses common challenges faced by international travellers, such as the inconvenience of swapping physical SIM cards and the unpredictability of roaming charges. By offering a digital solution, du aims to streamline the connectivity process, allowing users to stay connected with ease.

In addition to data services, the eSIM provides access to local networks, enhancing the quality and reliability of the connection. This feature is particularly beneficial for business travellers who require consistent and high-speed internet access for work-related tasks.

The global eSIM market has been experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing adoption of eSIM-compatible devices and the demand for flexible connectivity solutions. Analysts predict that the number of eSIM-enabled smartphones will continue to rise, further solidifying the importance of services like du’s Travel eSIM in the telecommunications industry.

Travellers have expressed positive feedback regarding the convenience of eSIMs. A user on a travel forum shared their experience: “I arrived in Dubai and was able to get a tourist eSIM from the Virgin mobile shop. It was a straightforward process and didn’t involve getting a normal SIM as a stepping stone.” Such testimonials underscore the practicality and user-friendliness of eSIM technology.

However, it’s essential for users to ensure their devices are compatible with eSIM technology. Most modern smartphones from leading manufacturers support eSIM functionality, but travellers are advised to verify compatibility before attempting to install the eSIM. Additionally, devices should be network unlocked to prevent any activation issues.

The longstanding business model of India’s information technology industry is facing obsolescence due to the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence , according to industry leaders. At the recent Nasscom Technology and Leadership Forum in Mumbai, HCL Technologies’ CEO, C Vijayakumar, emphasized the urgency for IT companies to adopt a “paranoid” mindset to remain relevant and drive growth.

Vijayakumar highlighted that the traditional model, characterized by a linear scaling of revenues and personnel over the past three decades, is now ripe for disruption. He revealed that HCL has been challenging its teams to achieve double the revenue with half the workforce, leveraging AI-driven automation to enhance productivity. This approach underscores the necessity for the industry to rethink its operations in the face of AI’s transformative potential.

Echoing this sentiment, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh concurred on the need for vigilance to stay relevant in the evolving landscape. He noted that a significant portion of the industry operates on input-based models and stressed the importance of transitioning to output and platform-based services. Parekh emphasized that AI is a massive productivity development tool, bringing in new work that otherwise wouldn’t have been possible.

The rise of generative AI technologies, which can automate tasks such as code generation, has been identified as a significant factor disrupting current business models. Vijayakumar pointed out that AI’s impact is considerably different from past technological shifts like cloud computing and digitization, necessitating proactive measures including the creation of new revenue streams and business ventures. For instance, generative AI can greatly enhance productivity by accelerating project timelines, exemplified by a potential reduction of a billion-dollar, five-year tech program to three and a half years.

To mitigate dependency on external models and geopolitical risks, Vijayakumar advocated for Indian tech firms to invest in building their own language models, citing the decreasing costs of setting up training infrastructure. This move could offer a long-term competitive advantage as costs decrease. Infosys has already taken steps in this direction by launching an open-source responsible AI toolkit to enhance trust and transparency in AI, furthering its commitment to creating an inclusive AI ecosystem that ensures safety, security, privacy, and fairness.
