Soon after launching a special IPL plan, Airtel is again back with a new plan which offers 2GB data per day. Bharti Airtel is about to report its first loss in fifteen years. But the company is taking the competition from Jio very seriously lately.
In the last one year, the company has introduced several low-cost tariff plans and have revised the old ones to offer more data with additional benefits. After launching the special Rs 499/- plan, the company has now added another 2GB data per day prepaid plan at Rs 249/-.
Airtel also revised its existing Rs 349/- plan, which now offers more data per day with other benefits.

If you order 2 Amazon Echo Dots in the same order, you will get a discount of Rs 1,000/- and if you buy 2 Amazon Echo devices together, you will get a discount of Rs 3,000/- on the entire order.
The Echo Dot is the smallest and directly competes with Google Home Mini, whereas the Echo is bigger and is at par with Google Home. Both the speakers are now up for orders and can be ordered online via Amazon and Flipkart respectively. Google speakers will also be available offline via listed retail stores.
The Amazon Echo Dot and Google Home Mini are priced at Rs 4,449/-, whereas Amazon Echo and Google Home are priced similarly at Rs 9,999/-.
