When Soumendra Sahu took over as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Airtel Uganda in December 2024, he stepped into one of the most competitive, politically sensitive, and fast-evolving sectors of Uganda’s economy. Telecom is unforgiving: customer expectations shift daily, technology cycles move at speed, and regulatory, security, and customer trust issues sit permanently in the spotlight. One year on, December 2025 marks a meaningful checkpoint — not just of activity, but of direction.

In a house that opened its doors to cousins, neighbours and strangers, where Bible study at six a.m. was non-negotiable, and the sitting room doubled as a dormitory, the habits of generosity, presence and service were not taught as theory but lived out in daily ritual.
