Ooredoo Maldives has once again earned international acclaim after being named Telco of the Year – Small Markets at the Twimbit Telecom Awards 2025, marking the second consecutive year the company has received this prestigious honour. The accolade reaffirms Ooredoo’s leadership in digital innovation, inclusive service delivery, and transformative impact within the Maldivian telecommunications landscape.
The Twimbit Telecom Awards are widely recognized for celebrating excellence in the telecommunications industry, specifically highlighting operators who excel in areas such as innovation, customer experience, and digital transformation. The Small Markets category, in particular, was highly competitive this year, featuring strong contenders including Dhiraagu (Maldives), DST (Brunei), Bhutan Telecom, and others that showcased significant strides in performance and customer service.
Despite the intensified competition, Ooredoo Maldives distinguished itself through its visionary initiatives and commitment to enabling a digitally inclusive society. The award reflects the company’s strategic advancements across multiple domains—from expanding 5G connectivity and enhancing fintech solutions via m-Faisaa, to introducing AI-driven customer experiences and championing impactful community programmes under its “Digital Maldives” vision.
In response to the recognition, Khalid Al-Hamadi, CEO of Ooredoo Maldives, expressed his pride and gratitude, stating: “Winning this award for the second year in a row is a proud moment for our team and a true reflection of our continued commitment to excellence. We share this recognition with our dedicated employees, valued customers, and partners who continue to inspire us to push boundaries and build a more connected digital Maldives.”
Ooredoo Maldives’ consistent recognition on the global stage signals its role not only as a telecommunications provider, but also as a key enabler of national progress, committed to bridging digital divides and enhancing the everyday lives of its customers through cutting-edge technology and sustainable innovation.
As the company looks to the future, it remains focused on driving digital empowerment, ensuring equitable access to services, and strengthening its position as a transformative force within the Maldives and beyond.
