about us
We are India's pioneer

the first Indian Internet company to be listed on the Nasdaq National
Market in the US. We provide integrated end-to-end solutions for
both corporates & consumers, with a range of products and services
delivered over a common Internet backbone infrastructure.
Everything that Sify has done or achieved since we began commercial
operations in April 1998 stems from our Purpose and Vision. A key
aspect is Sify being an enabler and catalyst of the Internet for
positive change in India- a responsibility that we continue to carry.
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. In doing this, Sify pioneered
services and set standards for the Industry in diverse areas.
Sify is a leader in every line of business and
has won national and international recognition for both market
leadership and the quality of our services. We are unmatched in
Internet and network services expertise and technology, with the
best tools, software and processes in the business.
