The three key drivers of dynamism, innovation and vision and a sharp focus on quality, with ongoing investments in research and development have made Tanla a leading Telecom Infrastructure Solutions powerhouse in India. Founded in 1999 by a multi-talented group of professionals, Tanla today is a rapidly growing, profitable company that has 500 employees globally.

Amongst the first Indian companies that focused on integrated solutions and products for the wireless world, Tanla carved its niche in the mobile communications industry very early on with a rare distinction of rolling out its sophisticated SMSC product within three months of inception. Tanla was the first Indian company to indigenously make the SMSC and VMS that now successfully compete with offerings from established global players. Its SMSC has been deployed by leading players in India's telecom industry, including Reliance, BPL, Hexacom, Airtel and Essar.

To complement its organic growth, Tanla had acquired a UK-based telecom services company, an Indian software development company and has recently acquired Openbit, a Finnish mobile payments company. These complementary acquisitions have further strengthened Tanla's core Telecom Infrastructure Solutions expertise and extended its focus to include offshore development and maintenance and infrastructure management services.

Tanla offers end-to-end mobile commerce, mobile entertainment, mobile Internet and mobile advertising solutions. The company is a global provider of mobile commerce, mobile entertainment, mobile marketing and advertising solutions to the Telecommunications, Media and Digital Content industries.

Today, telecom companies face the challenge of integrating various IT systems, technologies, communication methods and applications to benefit from convergence. Tanla aims to bridge this gap for customers by "connecting the various dots” and providing fully managed services, including end-to-end mobile content management, billing, messaging and delivery of mobile services.

Tanla is listed on India's leading stock markets, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The company has offices in Colombo, Dubai, Dublin, Hyderabad, London, New York and Singapore.
