Unlocking API Monetization Potential for a Leading Asian Telco Brand

Here’s what happened:

Hutch, a leading telecom operator in Sri Lanka, wanted to monetize internal APIs and strengthen its enterprise revenue strategy. Without a unified platform, APIs were underutilized, onboarding was slow, and scalability was limited.

‍

The challenge

• Fragmented API management and visibility
• Untapped monetization potential
• Manual partner onboarding
• Need for future scalability beyond APIs

‍

The solution

Wavenet deployed its full-stack API Marketplace platform, a telecom-grade platform for API management and monetization.

• Centralized API exposure and lifecycle control
• Encrypted, compliant architecture with audit logs
• Self-service partner onboarding and subscription management
• Usage tracking and monetization-ready foundation
• Scalable roadmap to expand beyond APIs

‍

The expected outcome

• New revenue streams  - from monetized APIs ‍
• Faster time-to-market  - for partner integrations ‍
• Lower manual effort  - via automation and governance ‍
• Future-ready platform  - to extend into multi-asset monetization ‍
• Stronger positioning in APAC - B2B/B2B2X market scalability
