3. ABOUT MATRIX - MAKING A DIFFERENCE SINCE 1995
The only thing consistent in today’s ever changing world is change itself. It is this change that
gives birth to the need of constantly staying connected at all times, no matter where one is. That’s
where we come in.
Our journey began in 1995 in the heart of India’s capital where we initially sold local Indian SIM
cards to foreign travelers coming to India. Soon we started our operations by catering to Indians
travelling to UK by offering them country specific mobile solutions for the UK. With rapid growth in
the Indian outbound travel market, today Matrix Cellular (International) Services Pvt. Ltd. is the
leading provider of complete telecommunication solutions for Indians travelling abroad. It offers
wireless communication and data service for international use at price plans suitable for any
audience.
Matrix has also launched the Matrix Forex Card – a one stop solution for all foreign exchange
needs. With this, we aim to further prove our commitment towards connecting people across the
glove with cost effective and convenient solutions.
WHY MATRIX

which provide good connectivity and convenience for you across the world. In today’s ever changing
telecommunications sector, we enable you to stay connected wherever you are through easy and

We have evolved with the aim to stand for something distinctive – touching your heart as well as
minds. Our brand promise – easy and smart – is an important asset and embodies our purpose and
