Basi huyo mmiliki ana majina mengi sana, mwanzo alikuwa anaitwa Bharti Celtel, baadae kidogo akaitwa Bharti Zain na sasa anaitwa Bharti Airtel. Du sijui pass yake za kusafiria plus vyeti vya chuo na cheti chake cha kuzaliwa kimekaeje maana yeye kila muda ni kubadili ubini tu

ha ha ha, ingia wikipedia for more details, mwanzo ilikuwa Celtel ambayo owner alikuwa Mo Ibrahim,, baadae akaiuza kwa faida sana usd billion 3 kwa watu wengine ambao nao wakaiita Zain,, baada ya muda Bharti Airter ndo akainunua kutoka Zain na kuiita jina lake Airtel
