amaysim, an Australian mobile service provider, is transitioning into a full-service telecommunications company by expanding into fixed home internet services. This strategic move includes appointing Virinder Nath as the new Vice President of amaysim and Optus’ Challenger Brands, which also include Coles Mobile and Catch Connect.
Virinder Nath brings nearly two decades of experience from Airtel India, where he significantly expanded the company’s broadband business and led large-scale telco transformation projects. His expertise and innovative approach earned him multiple Bharti Airtel Chairman’s Awards. Matt Williams, Managing Director of Customer Solutions at Optus, expressed enthusiasm about Nath’s appointment, highlighting his potential to disrupt the market and add value to customers.
Since its acquisition by Optus, amaysim has grown its customer base by 25%, now exceeding 1.5 million subscribers. The company also holds the lowest Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) complaints score in the industry. Under Nath’s leadership, amaysim plans to launch amaysim nbn Home Internet, leveraging AI-driven solutions for enhanced customer support.
This expansion responds to the rising demand for high-quality internet services, with 81% of Australian households already adopting nbn connections. The increasing cost-of-living pressures further highlight the need for affordable and reliable internet solutions.
amaysim’s entry into the fixed home internet market aims to offer seamless connectivity and affordable plans for activities like streaming, gaming, and remote work. This move will transform amaysim into a comprehensive telco provider, continuing its legacy of delivering exceptional value to Australians.
