Airtel Kenya has launched Airtel Lite, a Progressive Web App (PWA) designed to provide a fast, lightweight, and data-free self-care experience for customers. The new platform offers nearly all the features of the My Airtel App but is optimized for smartphones with low memory and limited processing power.
Zero Data Charges for Airtel Lite & My Airtel App
In a game-changing move, Airtel Kenya has zero-rated the My Airtel App, meaning customers can now access self-care services without using mobile data. Similarly, Airtel Lite allows seamless access to key services without requiring downloads, updates, or extra memory space.
Why Airtel Lite is a Game Changer
With many smartphone users conscious of data consumption and storage limitations, Airtel Lite transforms how customers interact with Airtel’s services. The PWA-based platform ensures:
✅ Zero memory requirements – No downloads or updates needed
✅ Instant access to essential services – Check balances, recharge, buy bundles, send money, make payments, and view transaction history
✅ Ultra-fast, lightweight interface – Optimized for quick loading and smooth performance
Airtel Kenya’s Commitment to Digital Inclusion
Speaking about the launch, Airtel Kenya Managing Director, Mr. Ashish Malhotra, emphasized the company’s focus on customer-centric innovation:
“At Airtel Kenya, we continuously strive to enhance our customers’ digital experience. Many Kenyans still face challenges such as limited storage space and high data costs. Airtel Lite is our solution to eliminate these barriers and ensure seamless access to self-care services for all.”
He further highlighted Airtel Lite’s role in accelerating Kenya’s digital transformation:
“As Kenya moves towards a fully digitized economy, Airtel Lite serves as a bridge for users who rely on USSD services to transition to digital self-care. It also promotes financial inclusion by making mobile banking and digital payments accessible, especially in remote areas.”
With Airtel Lite, Airtel Kenya is breaking barriers and ensuring that every customer, regardless of their device or location, stays connected in the digital era.
