Zoom completes rollout of Zoom Phone in six telecom circles, with plans for further expansion in India
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) today announced the further expansion of its industry-leading Zoom Phone service to four major metro telecom circles in India — Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Karnataka (Bengaluru), and Andhra Pradesh & Telangana (Hyderabad). The Delhi NCR Telecom Circle includes the Union Territory of Delhi, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, NOIDA, and Gurgaon. Licensed by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) India, Zoom Phone is now available in six telecom circles in India, including Maharashtra (October 2024) and Tamil Nadu (Chennai) Telecom Circles (February 2025), thereby covering key business and technology hubs in the country. Zoom also plans to bring Zoom Phone to additional telecom circles across India, accelerating its commitment to make AI-first modern telephony available to more organizations across key states in India.
'Zoom Phone addresses the growing demand for cloud telephony by offering simplicity and modern functionality for distributed workforces. India is an important market for us, and our expansion plans beyond the six key telecom circles demonstrate our commitment to providing customers with a unified work platform. This expansion also reflects the growing traction Zoom Phone is receiving, especially from multinational companies, as businesses in India move away from legacy PBX systems toward more flexible, AI-first collaboration solutions that enhance employee productivity,' said Velchamy Sankarlingam, president of Product and Engineering, Zoom.
Zoom Phone offers businesses simplicity and modern functionality, empowering dynamic workstyles and hybrid teams. Available as an add-on for existing paid Zoom customers, it supports inbound and outbound calling through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), enabling enterprises to replace legacy private branch exchange (PBX) systems and consolidate communication needs onto a single AI-first platform in Zoom Workplace.
Zoom Phone also integrates seamlessly with Zoom Contact Center to offer a unified experience with features like call transfer, call forwarding, and call recording accessible within the Zoom Contact Center environment. Zoom Contact Center can access Zoom Phone user details like extensions, Direct Inward Dialing (DID) numbers, and usernames, enabling caller identification and routing.
In addition to services in the six active telecom circles, Zoom Phone enables businesses to maintain seamless collaboration across India, even in regions where Zoom Phone service is not yet available. Through Zoom's self-service web portal, customers can acquire native phone numbers based on specific telecom circles, such as Karnataka, Delhi NCR, and Mumbai, enabling them to establish a local presence in those regions. These native numbers operate over the PSTN, allowing customers to place outbound calls and receive inbound calls nationwide, regardless of their physical location. This allows organizations to maintain continuity and flexibility in their collaboration strategy, even in telecom circles where Zoom Phone is not directly available.
Enhanced by Zoom AI Companion, which is included at no additional cost with eligible Zoom paid accounts, Zoom Phone offers powerful AI features to boost productivity. These include post-call summaries so users can focus on conversations instead of taking notes, voicemail task extraction to easily identify next steps, and voicemail prioritization to better manage time and attention. Zoom Phone also integrates seamlessly with Zoom Workplace, leading business applications, and hardware providers, offering robust security, scalability, and an intuitive user interface.
'We are thrilled that Zoom Phone is now available in six of India's most prominent business and technology hubs. Each of these cities is home to thriving ecosystems of local enterprises and multinational corporations that will benefit from Zoom Phone's flexibility and seamless integration into their existing workflows. Bringing Zoom Phone to additional telecom circles is a natural next step in our commitment to empower more organizations with access to reliable, modern AI-first telephony,' said Sameer Raje, general manager and head of India & SAARC region at Zoom. 'Zoom Phone and Zoom Contact Center are purpose-built to work seamlessly together to empower organizations to deliver unified communications and superior customer and employee engagement. With this launch, we are excited to help businesses streamline collaboration, support flexible workforces, and enhance employee and customer experiences.'

Paytm Grants INR 215 Crore in Fresh ESOPs
The options were allocated at an exercise price of INR 9 per share, significantly below the company's current market value of INR 906 per share You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Paytm has issued a new round of employee stock options (ESOPs) worth approximately INR 215 crore, according to a regulatory filing by One97 Communications, the company that operates the fintech platform. The move comes as part of its ESOP 2019 scheme, under which a total of 23,70,790 stock options have been granted. The options were allocated at an exercise price of INR 9 per share, significantly below the company's current market value of INR 906 per share. Each option entitles the holder to one fully paid-up equity share with a face value of INR one. Based on the current market rate, the total value of the allocation is estimated at INR 215 crore. These ESOPs can be exercised at any point during the employee's active tenure with the company, following the vesting period. The scheme also outlines provisions for how options are to be handled in scenarios such as resignation, termination, retirement, death, or permanent incapacity. Further, the company has specified that the equity shares resulting from the exercise of these options will not be subject to any lock-in period. According to the filing, 3,46,746 options have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the ESOP 2019 plan. The company noted that the plan includes mechanisms to adjust the number of stock options in the event of corporate actions such as mergers, stock splits, bonus issues, or divestitures. These adjustments, the filing states, would be "appropriately made, in a fair and reasonable manner." This latest grant comes amid a broader trend of Indian tech firms using ESOPs to retain talent in a competitive market. Paytm's ESOP 2019 scheme is one of its core retention strategies, designed to align long-term employee incentives with shareholder value. The stock options are governed by the rules laid out in the ESOP 2019 plan, which has been previously approved by Paytm's board and shareholders.
