Busy is further entrenching its relationship with the media with the start of media engagements on its operations.
The sessions have been designed as Knowledge Series to expose media practitioners across both the electronic and print media to different aspects of Busy’s 4G operations. “We want our customers and media to walk our journey with us; by doing this, Busy is able to gather at first hand the feedback the media, and consumers have about our products and services so we can improve upon our offerings and delight our customers”, Praveen Sadalage, Chief Executive Officer of Busy 4G said.
Mr. Sadalage explained that feedback from users remain a key influencer in the decision the company takes in rolling out new products, tweaking services, upgrading and re-aligning coverage areas. He reiterated that the meeting with the media, which will be extended to others who missed the first one is to further explain what Busy does and to throw some more light on its products and services.
