VSNL re-branded as Tata Communications globally

VSNL has been formally renamed Tata Communications. The new brand aims to be a leading provider of communications, integrating the former VSNL and Teleglobe brands. Tata Communications will leverage its Tata Global Network (TGN) and experience of operating in emerging markets in Asia and Africa to deliver globally managed communications solutions.

The launch represents the culmination of recent major international investments that expanded the company’s global reach and ability to deliver IP-leveraged communications solutions to businesses and consumers worldwide. The changed logo bears Tata’s patent blue colour.

Tata Communications plans to invest more than $2 billion over the next three years to further fuel its global expansion plans.
