Ooredoo Maldives has once again cemented its reputation as a regional leader in innovation and digital transformation, taking home the coveted “Telco of the Year – Small Markets” award at the Twimbit Telecom Awards 2025. This marks the second consecutive year the company has claimed the title, triumphing over strong contenders such, Brunei’s DST, and Bhutan Telecom.
The Twimbit Telecom Awards recognize outstanding achievements by telecom operators globally across various categories, including innovation, customer experience, and technological advancement. The “Small Markets” category celebrates exceptional performance by operators serving nations with populations under two million.
Ooredoo Maldives stood out for its bold advancements in digital infrastructure, particularly its continued rollout of 5G connectivity, which forms a key component of the company’s long-term “Digital Maldives” strategy. The company’s efforts have significantly enhanced digital access and mobility across the country’s dispersed islands, reinforcing the Maldives’ image as a digitally connected paradise.
In addition to 5G, Ooredoo impressed judges with the continued expansion of its m-Faisaa fintech platform, enabling easier, more inclusive mobile financial services for citizens and tourists alike. The telco has also made notable strides in AI-powered customer experiences, ensuring intuitive, seamless service delivery in an increasingly digital-first world.
Beyond technology, Ooredoo Maldives has distinguished itself through community-driven initiatives that promote digital inclusion and social impact. These efforts reflect the company’s mission to not only lead in connectivity but also act as a catalyst for national development, leveraging digital tools to uplift communities and empower individuals.
Khalid Al Hamadi, CEO of Ooredoo Maldives, expressed immense pride in receiving the award once again, attributing the achievement to the dedication of the company’s workforce and the continued trust of its customers.
“This recognition is more than just an award; it is a validation of our tireless efforts to create a more digitally inclusive and empowered Maldives,” said Al Hamadi. “We share this honour with our employees, customers, and partners who continue to motivate us to push boundaries and innovate with purpose.”
The recognition also underscores the company’s role as a key enabler in the Maldives’ broader national goals, particularly in areas such as digital literacy, financial inclusion, and smart tourism, further enhancing the Maldives’ appeal not only as a top-tier travel destination but also as a forward-thinking, tech-enabled island nation.
With this back-to-back victory, Ooredoo Maldives has reaffirmed its place at the forefront of telecom innovation in small markets. As the country continues to welcome global visitors seeking connectivity, convenience, and an immersive digital experience, Ooredoo stands as a trusted partner, bridging islands, connecting people, and powering a digital future.
