At PITA 29, Bankai Group received a warm reaction from the Pacific telecom community. We demonstrated our next-gen digital solutions for the region’s telecom operators, carriers, and enterprises, empowering them to boost digital readiness.

The event powerfully underscored a shared mission: building a digitally sovereign and resilient Pacific. At Bankai Group, we resonate with the sentiment and stand firmly to take it forward.

During their panel discussion, Aayush Barot and Vikas Desai shared actionable insights and strategies on how digital services can accelerate the region’s self-sufficiency. Reflecting on the path to sustainable growth, Aayush emphasized, “Digital resilience, built in collaboration with local partners, paves the way for long-term progress for the Pacific. To truly make the region independent, the focus should be to nurture the local ecosystem to lead rather than be dependent.”
