Is My Airtel app pushing popup banner ads to promote Airtel TV on your Android Smartphone?

This has happened a few times in the recent weeks. Happens randomly. Popup comes out of nowhere. Always for an Airtel app. Managed to capture it for the first time. Screenshots below.

I can only imagine that My Airtel app is doing it. Anyone else has received this kind of ad on their phones?

I got it once yesterday too. Was terrified upon seeing it. Checked all permission. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable it.

I am just trying to get an idea if my airtel is doing this. Because it is happening completely randomly and no app name is visible.

This is the first time I have seen an app capable of pushing such apps when it has not run for weeks. App doesn't have overlay over other apps permission. If airtel has found a way to inject apps in such an invisible way using my airtel app... Others would too.

I mean the only way to accurately connect the dots would be to check system logs to see the origin of that ad.
