DOHA/MALE: Wataniya Maldives recently announced that it is the first operating company in Asia to transform into Ooredoo, adopting the new global brand of the Ooredoo group.
Ooredoo Maldives launched its service in the Maldives on August 1, 2005.
The company provides a wide range of leading-edge wireless voice and data services, delivered with high quality, designed to cater to the demands of today’s discerning customer.
Ooredoo has delivered a major network upgrade in the Maldives this year, launching the first and fastest-ever 4G network in April, as part of a series of major enhancements.
The brand launch was inaugurated by Maldivian Minister of Transport and Communications, Ameen Ibrahim, and Group CEO of Ooredoo, Dr Nasser Marafih.
The event, which was broadcast live across the Maldives, was also attended by key officials and stakeholders of the company, along with senior community representatives.
“We welcome our customers in the Maldives into the new world of Ooredoo. Our Maldives operation is our first operation in Asia to become one with our global identity, and this underlines how committed we are to this market,” said Dr Marafih. “This is a proud and historic day for the Maldives. We are hosting the Asian launch of the new brand of the world’s fastest-growing communications company, and promising our customers that they will enjoy a world-class range of life-enriching services in the months and years ahead,” said CEO of Ooredoo Maldives, Haroon Shahul Hameed.
In addition to focusing its efforts on enhancing the customer experience with the introduction of a revamped portfolio of services, a new website with online account management and the opening of the Ooredoo experience centre, Ooredoo will continue to build on the company’s proud tradition of supporting community initiatives in the Maldives.
Ooredoo has a number of on-going international partnerships in place set to add value in the country, including its relationship with the Leo Messi Foundation, which has seen the company bring mobile health clinics to towns and villages in Indonesia.
Ooredoo global brand ambassador and football hero Lionel ‘Leo’ Messi will be featured in the advertising campaign for the launch with the headline ‘Your world just got better’. The Peninsula
