    AFTER more than a year since its merger, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) wants to leverage its enhanced scale and synergies to branch out into new growth opportunities – in fixed home-broadband and digital services.

    The company was established in 2022 following the merger of Indonesian telecommunications providers Indosat and Hutchison 3 Indonesia, then the third- and fourth-largest telcos in the country respectively.

    When the merger was first floated, analysts had doubts about whether it would succeed, chief executive officer Vikram Sinha recalled during a recent interview with The Business Times.
