[KUALA LUMPUR] Axiata Group – one of the largest telcos in Asia (*see amendment note) – is set to grow its market share in Indonesia to at least 20 per cent following a series of mergers in the country over the past two years, its top executive said.

Axiata Group – listed on Bursa Malaysia with a market capitalisation of nearly RM24 billion (S$6.9 billion) – is one of the largest telcos in Asia, with operations in nine countries and serving over 160 million customers.
