Sify Technologies Limited is India’s pioneer & leader in Internet, Networking and e-Commerce services, and the first Indian Internet company to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market in the US. It provides integrated end-to-end solutions for both corporates & consumers, with a range of products and services delivered over a common Internet backbone infrastructure. The company started its commercial operations in April 1998.

Sify began by developing India’s first TCP/IP network and offering multiple services on a common backbone infrastructure for an integrated Internet, networking and eCommerce business model. This was the first such business model in the world, and appropriate for catalyzing the growth of the Internet and networking in an infrastructure starved market. It also enabled a virtuous cycle, where each business supported the other, while catalyzing the market to growth.

Fortune magazine, in their December 2000 issue, selected Sify (then Satyam Infoway) as one of the world’s ten hot technology companies to watch out for based on this innovative business model! From the start of commercial operations in April 1998, Sify has become the market leader in most lines of business, winning global recognition for its expertise, performance, customer focus and standards along the way.

Sify was one of the first private sector player to offer internet access, when internet access was opened to private sector (until then the state run VSNL had a monopoly in providing internet access in India). It leased international bandwidth from global vendors, domestic connectivity from telecom players and set up last mile connectivity by multiple methods: wi-fi connections using roof top antennae, copper connections using phone lines or cable tv connections. Sify also started providing internet network connectivity for business enterprises in India. Sify set up a chain of franchised internet cafes (today a network of over 3,300+ cybercafes).
In 2007, Sify got the registration of its UK branch.

Sify pioneered corporate networking services in the country and helped revolutionize business computing in India, with interconnectivity between multi-location offices, flexibility of platforms, applications software and smooth transfer of data for corporates.

Recently, Sify was awarded the prestigious Frost & Sullivan Market Leadership Award for IP VPN markets for the year 2003.

The company’s Network services, Data Center Operations and Customer Relationship Management processes have been certified ISO 9001:2000. Sify is the first and only company to receive this certification. This certification comes as a validation of trust placed in the company by over 650 corporate customers, who run their business critical applications as diverse as SAP, BAAN, Oracle, CRM and ERP solutions on Sify’s backbone network.

To enable world class hosting services in India, Sify commissioned the country’s first Level 3 Internet Data Center of 20,000sq feet at the Vashi Infotech Park, Navi Mumbai in September 2000. Sify now has two more such data centers, one in Tidel Park, Chennai and the other in Electronics City, Bangalore.

The company was awarded the Frost & Sullivan Marketing Engineering Award for Business Development for 2001 in Data Center markets for its innovative approach to developing the market. Today, Sify is the only company in the country to offer Disaster Recovery and Business Process Continuity between its major datacentres in Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore.
