You must have come across the brand promo of Aircel across various TV channels. I just stumbled over the same cool TV commercial wherein the Indian Cricket Team were stuck in the midst of heavy rail fall and the team captain – M S Dhoni uses his Aircel based mobile phone to search, book and pay for room services with the ad concluding with the tagline “Aircel – Its Time to Move on”. So, after watching the video, even I feel its really high time to move on. 🙂
The above video is really worth watching if you are either a mobile lover/ cricket fan. 😉

Malaysia?s largest telecom company Maxis Communications, in partnership with Apollo Hospitals promoter Reddys, will buy Aircel for $1.08 billion. Maxis plans to list Aircel.
Maxis will take a direct 65% stake in Aircel by spending $702m. It will hold the remaining stake indirectly through a joint venture, owned 74% by Apollo and 26% by Maxis.
This implies an enterprise valuation of $800m for Aircel. With Aircel?s mobile subscriber base of over 2.2m, the payment per subscriber will be around $364. Vodafone paid $1,000 per subscriber for Bharti while $570 a subscriber was paid by Hutchison Essar for BPL.
