Technology for MSMEs: Two months after Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani announced plans for SMEs by offering cloud connectivity and a suite of enterprise applications at one-tenth of regular prices, in partnership with Microsoft, the latter’s CEO Satya Nadella reiterated the support during the company’s FY 2020 first quarter ending September 30 earnings conference call on Wednesday. Nadella, talking about Microsoft’s cloud service Azure, said that “in India, we are bringing the power of Microsoft Cloud to millions of small businesses through our partnership with Jio.”
Mukesh Ambani on the occasion of RIL’s 42nd annual general meeting in August this year had called teaming up with Microsoft “a unique and first-of-its-kind partnership that brings the capabilities of two large companies focused on creating significant value to Indian enterprises — small and large.”
