Microsoft India plans to partner with Airtel to encourage the latter's customers to buy the recently launched Lumia 4G smartphones.
Once the deal is formalised, Airtel 4G customers purchasing the Lumia 950 or 950 XL will get free data bundled with the devices, which run on the Windows 10 operating system.
The 4G data - bundling pact will be extended to the more affordable Lumia 550, a 4G smartphone slated for launch in India around Christmas time.
