Ooredoo Maldives Crowned Small Telco of the Year for Second Consecutive Year
Ooredoo Maldives has once again earned international recognition by securing the title of "Telco of the Year – Small Markets" at the prestigious Twimbit Telecom Awards 2025. This marks the second consecutive win for the company in this highly competitive category, celebrating telecom operators from countries with populations under two million.
The award underscores Ooredoo’s continued excellence in areas such as digital innovation, customer experience, and inclusive service delivery—all pillars of its long-term strategy to transform Maldives into a fully connected digital society.
Standing Out in a Competitive Field
Competing against regional heavyweights like Dhiraagu, Brunei’s DST, and Bhutan Telecom, Ooredoo Maldives emerged at the top for its bold investments in digital transformation. Judges cited the company’s forward-thinking initiatives and real-world impact on communities across the Maldives.
Championing a Digital Future
A core reason behind Ooredoo's recognition was its successful rollout of 5G technology, a key milestone in the brand’s ongoing "Digital Maldives" roadmap. The initiative aims to enhance nationwide connectivity, streamline digital services, and improve the quality of life through cutting-edge infrastructure.
Other standout achievements include the growth of m-Faisaa, Ooredoo’s innovative fintech platform, and the integration of AI-powered customer service solutions. These enhancements have not only made everyday transactions easier for Maldivians but have also helped foster greater financial inclusion in remote communities.
Leadership with Vision
Speaking on the achievement, Ooredoo Maldives CEO Khalid Al Hamadi expressed pride in the team's dedication:
“Winning this award for the second year in a row is a great honour. It reflects our unwavering commitment to building a digital future for the Maldives and improving the lives of the people we serve.”
He emphasized that Ooredoo remains committed to delivering cutting-edge technology while focusing on local needs, ensuring no one is left behind in the digital era.
Driving National Development Through Technology
Beyond commercial success, Ooredoo Maldives continues to position itself as a vital player in national progress. By focusing on bridging the digital divide, the company is helping to ensure that technology becomes a tool for social upliftment, economic participation, and education across the islands.
With this back-to-back accolade, Ooredoo solidifies its reputation not just as a telecom provider, but as a key architect of a more inclusive and technologically advanced Maldives.
