Tata Docomo’s online purchase portal “www.eShop.tatadocomo.com” was awarded  under the Marketing  category for India's first and only full service telecom e-commerce platform that enables online purchase of pre-paid, post-paid SIMs and Internet access dongles (Photon) enabling door step delivery and activation. eShop was successfully launched last year across 47 cities in India that accounts for over 90 percent of India’s current e-commerce potential.

In the Product Innovation category, Tata Docomo was recognised for developing innovative Multi-SIM (Micro & Nano SIM built in normal classic SIM); which led to the reduction of overhead costs   associated with maintaining multiple SIM types and also led to an overall reduction in carbon footprint.
