ussia may make most waves in the business press through its abundant reserves of natural resources, but it is also home to VimpelCom, which has recently emerged as one of the world’s largest groups of integrated telecommunications services operations. The company was founded in 1992, initially to operate a limited network hub in the Moscow area. However, in the hands of a visionary management team, it became the first Russian company to list on the New York Stock Exchange in 1996.

Having consolidated its position in Russia in 2008 with the acquisition of a 49.9 per cent stake in Euroset, the largest mobile retailer in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the company soon went on to replicate its success further afield. In May 2009, commercial operations were launched outside of the CIS for the first time, initially targeting Cambodia and then Vietnam.

2010 was a transformational year for VimpelCom. It was a year which saw the creation of a new identity and put in place the framework that would elevate the company to the forefront of the industry. Early in the year, the company successfully brought together Kyivstar and OJSC VimpelCom to create a new business entity, VimpelCom Ltd. Overnight, the merger with Kyivstar created the largest operator group in Russia and the CIS countries.

Negotiations also began in 2010 for a deal that would secure VimpelCom’s position as a truly global player. In April 2011, it finally closed a

transaction with Wind Telecom to combine the two groups. As a result of that deal, VimpelCom now owns 51.7 per cent of Orascom Telecom and 100 per cent of WIND Italy, a leading international telecommunications company offering mobile, fixed, internet and international communication across three continents.

This transaction immediately transformed VimpelCom into one of the largest mobile telecommunications providers in the world and positioned the company to capitalize on strong growth in emerging markets, industry consolidation, and the rapid development of mobile data which has continued to show heady

year-on-year growth despite the global downturn.At a stroke, it more than doubled VimpelCom’s

footprint in emerging markets, providing a springboard to fast-growing new markets in Africa and Asia. The acquisition of WIND Italy also facilitated a more diversified and better balanced portfolio of operations and enhanced the ability to capitalize on the rapid growth in data services.

Last year saw annual revenues almost double in a single year to exceed the $20 billion mark. President and chief operating officer Khaled Bichara attributes the company´s strength in the market to its geographical diversity and capacity to adapt to an ever-changing cultural landscape. The operating model is carefully structured across to reflect a mix of brands which include Beeline, Kyivstar, djuice, WIND, Infostrada, Mobilink, Leo, Banglalink, Telecel and Djezzy. In some instances, centralised service centres have been developed, for

example, in Rome, Moscow, Cairo and Amsterdam. However, there are also many discrete regionalised operations to maintain the strength of local branding and identity.

Beeline is one of the stars of the portfolio. Named by the European Brand Institute as the Most Valuable Russian Brand 2009, it has an estimated value in the region of €8 billion. The brand has always been positioned to appeal to a youthful audience in search of fun and simplicity. Six years ago, it was re-launched with its current characteristic black-and-yellow striped circle in a campaign to associate the brand with the principles of brightness, friendliness, effectiveness, simplicity and positive feelings in an award-winning campaign.

The brand now has 48 million subscribers in Russia alone and is carefully nurtured to retain
