Robi Axiata Limited is a telecom company in Bangladesh that was originally called Aktel but rebranded to Robi in 2010. The rebranding was necessary because Aktel was losing customers to competitors and had a tariff that did not attract new users. While Robi aimed to align with local culture by choosing a Bengali name, its marketing campaigns had mixed results in boosting the subscriber base significantly. Robi focuses on rural areas and uses various promotional activities, but high marketing expenditures have not always led to specific gains for its products and services.
