DiGi Telecommunications

What DiGi Telecommunications does

CelcomDigi Berhad is Malaysia's largest telecommunications operator, formed in December 2022 from the merger of Celcom Axiata Berhad and Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (the latter founded in 1990) and listed on Bursa Malaysia under ticker CDB. The company operates 4G LTE and 5G Standalone (5G-SA) mobile networks, fixed fibre broadband, mobile broadband, and an integrated device-financing programme (Easy360 and Pakej MegaJimat). It claims Malaysia's widest and fastest 5G network following the merger. The product surface spans postpaid plans from RM60 to RM190/month, prepaid plans from RM30 to RM65/month, home fibre plans starting at RM97/month for 300Mbps, and the CelcomDigi ONE converged bundle combining postpaid lines with 500Mbps fibre and entertainment subscriptions.

CelcomDigi generates revenue through eight principal streams: mobile postpaid, mobile prepaid, device sales and financing, home fibre and broadband, entertainment subscriptions (StreamMORE), safety and protection services (MobileSHIELD, WebSHIELD, PhoneCARE, PhoneFIX, SafePAY Jr), roaming and international passes, and B2B enterprise solutions. Distribution combines company-owned CelcomDigi and Digi stores, Store Express Partners, e-commerce storefronts, the unified CelcomDigi App, and a dedicated CelcomDigi Business division serving enterprises and SMEs. Go-to-market is hybrid: product-led growth via app-based self-serve and eSIM (Spark, Malaysia's first eSIM-only experience), direct-to-consumer through nationwide retail, enterprise field sales for B2B, and channel partners including device manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung and Google.

Strategic positioning centres on monetising the merged network through converged plans, content aggregation, and emerging B2B 5G-SA use cases. Notable enterprise partnerships include Malaysia's first industrial 5G-SA Advanced Intelligent Warehouse with Intel, 5G-enabled AI HoloMedicine with Universiti Malaya Medical Centre, MediRover and MediDoc with HPUNIMAS in Sarawak, and large-scale plantation connectivity with IOI Corporation. Albern Murty was appointed CEO in February 2026 and Kesavan Sivabalan serves as CTO. The company is currently executing a large-scale network and operational integration programme combining the former Celcom and Digi operations.
