We are delighted to see the first innovation hub open on our Mumbai campus as I believe Mumbai is the perfect location to foster the innovation needed.”

TM Forum innovation hub will also focus on the Open Digital Architecture (ODA). ODA enables cloud-native software to replace traditional OSS and BSS.
