E2E Networks Receives Cloud Service Provider Empanelment from MeitY

E2E Networks has announced receiving Cloud Service Provider (CSP) empanelment from India’s Ministry of Electronic and Information Technology (MeitY). 

MeitY empanelment is a crucial requirement for the procurement of Cloud Services by Public Sector Units (PSUs), nationalised banks, financial institutions, and various government agencies, autonomous institutions, statutory bodies under the Government of India, as well as state, union territory, and local governments across India.

Founded in 2009, E2E Networks has been a dominant player in the cloud services market, offering advanced cloud GPUs, high-end compute services and containers, storage services such as Block and Object storage, DBaaS (Database As a Service), and Networking services at market-beating prices to startups, businesses and educational institutions. Now, it has completed MeitY’s STQC (Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification) audit.

MeitY provides guidelines for CSPs to empanel (or, register) their services with the Government of India. Once empaneled, CSPs can do business as per the Guidelines for Procurement of Cloud Services. An independent auditor appointed by the government, the STQC Directorate, has performed the audit and MeitY has issued a letter confirming E2E Networks’s empanelment.

“Today's announcement of MeiTY empanelment presents a plethora of opportunities for us to assist India's government agencies and public sector organizations in expediting their digital transformation, as over 3,000 customers have already reaped the benefits of E2E Cloud Infrastructure. We are dedicated to the expansion of our team in order to accommodate the substantial growth of our public sector business," Tarun Dua, Managing Director of E2E Networks, said.

The NSE-listed cloud infrastructure provider also offers Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to Indian customers at an affordable price. In an earlier interaction with AIM, Dua said that around 10-15% of the 100 startup unicorns in India were born in the E2E cloud.
