Deutsche Telekom is present in 34 countries, with the majority of employees – more than 80 % – continuing to work in Germany, the United States, Hungary, and Greece.
The Group’s largest headcount increases were recorded in the United States with 4,853 FTEs (7.4 %) and India with 696 FTEs (13.3 %).
The primary reasons for the headcount increase in the United States were the acquisitions of Vistar Media and Blis in the first quarter of 2025, as well as the acquisition of UScellular in the third quarter of 2025.
In India, the headcount increase mainly resulted from T-Systems’ planned expansion of the offshore locations.
The sale of the Romanian mobile business on October 1, 2025 contributed to the decrease in the international headcount.
