Yes, my apologies. Karthik also brought this to my attention. I know all of
these companies quite well and certainly know the difference between Airtel
and Aircel. I consider this a typo mistake on my part. I definitely meant
to say Aircel, and we greatly appreciate Aircel's support.
Best Regards,
Kul

AirTel is another telcom provider ( One of the top 3) in India

Dear Wikimedians,
thanking the Wikimedia Foundation for deploying Wikipedia Zero in India
in association with Aircel, I was surprised to see that
- #IWikiWhen <https://twitter.com/search?q=%23IWikiWhen&src=tren> was
trending in Twitter India and Mumbai trend-lists.
That is because Aircel India is running a contest asking their fans for
the "reason they wiki", and I can see that it has actually worked. They are
giving away HTC One X Phone.[1] Would request everyone to take this up and
tweet about Wikipedia (you can also participate :D)!! People will be
looking at the trending hashtags! :D

Nice promotion from Aircel.
It was surprise for me also. I wish the interaction
between WMF and
Chapter can be improved so that more chapter members and community can
support India initiatives better.
Hi Arunja,
We're glad to see this promotion from Airtel as well. They ran a few
marketing ideas by us before the launch but we weren't aware of this one in
advance; we found out the same time as everyone else. We don't have the
available staff to work with Airtel on these promotions so we rely on them,
as we do with other partners, to run many of them at their own discretion.
I also believe it would be great if WMF could coordinate with the chapters
more but we'll need additional resources to do so. It's definitely worth
talking about...
Kul
