Tejas Networks has just sealed a bold new partnership with Rakuten Symphony—and the markets noticed. The stock of Tejas Networks rose by 3.7% following the announcement, a clear vote of confidence in the deal.
The big picture? The two companies will work together to integrate Rakuten Symphony’s cloud-native RAN software with Tejas’ 4G and 5G radio tech. In simpler terms: they’re teaming up to build open, flexible telecom networks. Think faster, cheaper, and more transparent networks across India and the world.
This is a big win for Tejas Networks, which already has a strong footprint in over 75 countries. The company is part of the Tata Group, with Panatone Finvest (a Tata Sons firm) holding a majority stake. Now, with Rakuten Symphony in the mix, Tejas is looking to scale even further.
What the Leaders Said
Sharad Sriwastawa, President of Rakuten Symphony, called the partnership “exciting,” adding that both companies shared a vision of more openness and interoperability in telecom. In his words, combining Tejas’ hardware with Rakuten’s cloud brains will create “high-performing network solutions.”
Kumar N. Sivarajan, CTO and co-founder of Tejas Networks, agreed. He said the goal is to deliver a full-stack RAN solution—hardware plus software—that’s both powerful and cost-efficient.

Why This Matters
Open RAN (Radio Access Network) is the future. It’s about replacing closed, vendor-locked telecom gear with open, mix-and-match components. That means more innovation, faster rollouts, and lower costs for telcos.
India, in particular, is pushing for indigenous 5G solutions and less dependency on foreign vendors. This Tejas-Rakuten deal fits perfectly into that ambition. Plus, the partnership also targets global markets, which makes it even more valuable.
What Tejas Brings to the Table
Tejas Networks isn’t new to the game. It designs and builds high-performance wireline and wireless products used by telcos, ISPs, government agencies, and defense forces. With a strong track record and backing from the Tata Group, Tejas is in a prime spot to ride the Open RAN wave.
Looking Ahead
This partnership could change the game for Open RAN in both India and global markets. It’s a mix of Indian engineering muscle and Japanese software smarts. Investors liked what they saw, and the 3.7% stock jump proves it.
Tejas Networks is no longer just a homegrown player—it’s becoming a global Open RAN force.
