If last year’s India Mobile Congress, considered the biggest telecom summit in South Asia, was about business leaders Sunil Bharti Mittal and Mukesh Ambani sharing the same dais despite intense rivalry, this edition will possibly be dominated by the upcoming 5G play and spectrum auction. The official agenda is silent on Mittal and Ambani’s participation this time, and the list of speakers is overflowing with the next-gen from big business groups.  

However, in a first, Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to inaugurate the India Mobile Congress, scheduled from October 14 to 16. Typically, telecom ministers inaugurate the summit.
