In a unique way to grab a greater traction among female employees, Vodafone India on Friday launched Sakhi pack for its women customers. The new pack provides the facility to its users to conveniently recharge their mobile phones, without sharing their mobile numbers with retailers.

The phone major in the past ran a pilot test of this scheme in selected areas, where it tasted tremendous success. After which, Vodafone made a massive plan to roll out the plan nationwide.
