S ify Technologies ( Sify ) was founded in 1995 , as India ’ s first private internet services provider ( ISP ). Driving the nation ’ s consumer internet revolution was the main focus during the late 1990s and through the company ’ s fledgling years as a consumer services focused business offering hubs across the country to handle cyber traffic .
At the turn of the millennium , Sify launched the country ’ s first commercial data centre ( DC ) and first MPLS network , beginning a transition towards enterprise services as India ’ s first commercial internet provider . The country ’ s emerging network requirements saw the business enter its third phase ( from 2006-12 ), undergoing a full transformation into an enterprise services company . During this period , Sify moved out of the consumer broadband services space , focusing instead on internet-as-aservice for businesses and the launch of its cloud services offering .
