India’s leading telco Vi showcased a range of 5G and AI-powered use cases on the opening day of India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025, under its theme ‘Advantage India with Human-novations’. This year, the telco is demonstrating how advanced technologies like AI, Mixed Reality, and intelligent networks, when combined with human ingenuity, can unlock new opportunities by empowering citizens and enterprises to accelerate India’s vision for Viksit Bharat 2047.
“At Vi, we believe advanced connectivity has become essential for daily life, economic growth and national progress. The 5G and AI use cases we are showcasing highlight how technology can create real impact, right from equipping India with skills at scale to protecting citizens from cyber frauds to empowering MSMEs and enterprises with cutting-edge solutions to digitize and transform,” said Abhijit Kishore, CEO, Vi.
Some of the standout use cases include:
- Citizen-focused innovations: Vi is showcasing several initiatives aimed at empowering citizens and bridging the digital divide:

- Vocal for Local makes a case for an AI-powered platform for Indian Artisans to help them reimagine traditional crafts in contemporary design
- Telco API Solutions for Fraud Prevention: This solution leverages mobile network-based authentication to seamlessly verify a user’s phone number in the background, eliminating the need for manual input or user interaction. At its core is SIM binding — a robust security feature that links the user’s registered mobile number’s SIM card to their account and device. This binding establishes a secure authentication layer that is highly resistant to SIM swap fraud, and the interception of SMS-based one-time passwords, resulting in a frictionless, yet highly secure user experience
- Vi is also displaying its AI-powered interactive game CyberShield, designed to raise cyber fraud awareness. This game is a part of Vi Foundation’s ‘JaaduGinniKa’, a national initiative that has reached more than two crore citizens across the country. The game simulates real-life scenarios such as fake-payment requests, impersonation, and fraudulent job offers, helping users make informed decisions
- Satellite Communications: Vi is showcasing how satellite technology will revolutionise remote connectivity through an engaging showcase in collaboration with AST SpaceMobile. Central to the exhibit is a prototype of the BlueBird 3 satellite, highlighting the potential of satellite communications to bridge the digital divide in regions beyond the reach of traditional terrestrial networks. The use case demonstrates how satellite networks support uninterrupted, high-speed, low-latency connectivity for remote communities, enabling critical communication during natural disasters, and enhancing safety for travellers and professionals in far-flung areas
- AI Smart Sustainability: One of the key use cases on display is Vi’s AI-powered Self-Organized Network (SON), which demonstrates how cutting-edge technology is driving sustainable practices in telecom operations. Vi has deployed a multi-vendor, multi-technology agnostic AI module that analyzes real-time network usage patterns to optimize energy consumption.
