Google is in talks with Airtel to make large investments
The tech giant is in an ‘advanced stage of negotiations’ with Airtel
The deal size could be ‘substantially large’
Currently, the outlines of the partnerships are being worked upon
Google had invested $4.5 bn in Jio Platforms, Airtel’s rival, in July 2020
It was for a 7.7% stake and a board seat
If the Google-Airtel deal happens, it will be a breather for Sunil Mittal
His company now faces stiff competition in the telecom sector
