Towards a New Era of Network API Adoption
In a significant move aimed at reshaping the telecommunications landscape, Aduna, a global aggregator of network APIs, has announced that two leading system integrators, Tech Mahindra and Wipro, are now part of its extensive partner ecosystem. This strategic collaboration is poised to play a crucial role in accelerating the adoption of network APIs across various industries, facilitating deeper participation from mobile operators in the burgeoning network API economy.
Aduna provides a unified platform where developers can leverage network capabilities via standardized APIs. The integration of Tech Mahindra and Wipro signifies a pivotal step towards meeting the demands of modern enterprises, which increasingly rely on digital transformation to thrive in today's competitive market.
The Significance of the Partnership
As trusted partners to numerous Fortune 500 companies and telecom operators, Tech Mahindra and Wipro are set to integrate Aduna’s suite of harmonized network APIs, which includes critical functionalities such as SIM Swap, Number Verification, Device Location, and Quality on Demand. This initiative is expected to streamline the process of enterprise transformation across a myriad of sectors, from financial services to logistics, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency.
Anthony Bartolo, CEO of Aduna, expressed optimism about this collaboration, stating, "This is a major step forward in operationalizing network APIs at scale. Tech Mahindra and Wipro sit at the intersection of enterprise transformation and telecom innovation.

Bridging the Gap Between Telecom and Enterprise
Global system integrators (GSIs) like Tech Mahindra and Wipro occupy a unique position that facilitates the connection between telecommunications capabilities and enterprise systems. By embedding network APIs within digital workflows, they not only enhance security and onboarding processes but also improve communication and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This reduces the complexity traditionally associated with telecommunications.
The role of GSIs extends beyond mere integration; they offer invaluable consulting services, technical support, and onboarding assistance to mobile operators aiming to collaborate with the Aduna platform. This partnership aims to:
- - Support Communication Service Provider (CSP) onboarding,
- - Co-develop industry-specific use case accelerators,
- - Enhance global rollout of network APIs through managed services,
- - Facilitate the embedding of network APIs into cloud-native environments.
