Kolkata, August 2025 – In a heartfelt tribute to India’s remarkable progress in mobile technology, the All India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA) unveiled a commemorative postal stamp to mark 30 years of India’s mobile journey. The event took place at The Almond, Kolkata, and was attended by key industry leaders, mobile retailers, and dignitaries who have witnessed the evolution of mobile connectivity in the country.
From India’s first cellular call in 1995 to today’s 5G-powered smart ecosystem, mobile phones have transformed every aspect of life — business, communication, entertainment, and commerce. This commemorative stamp captures not just the technological advancement but also the critical role of mobile retailers and distributors in taking mobile services to every nook and corner of the country.
AIMRA, which represents lakhs of mobile retailers across India, emphasized the significance of this milestone as a moment of pride for the entire industry. The event also included a retrospective exhibition showcasing key moments in India’s mobile evolution — from bulky handsets to sleek smartphones, from SMS packs to high-speed data.
Speaking at the event, AIMRA representatives highlighted the organization’s continuous efforts to empower local retailers, strengthen policy dialogue with telecom stakeholders, and promote digital literacy at the grassroots level.
This postal stamp is more than a memento — it is a symbol of the aspirations and achievements of a connected India. It pays homage to the pioneers who introduced mobile technology and the millions of retailers who continue to make it accessible and affordable.
As India marches toward a fully digital economy, such milestones serve as a reminder of the collective spirit that fuels innovation, inclusion, and progress.
