We continue to experience demand across data center services, managed network services and managed voice services. On the consumer front, we are seeing traction in the online advertising space and expect it to continue going forward. We continue our initiatives to consolidate and rationalize access services through cyber cafes and expect to experience the positive effects of these initiatives in the coming quarters. In consumer broadband services we have kept up our focus on new products, new partners, customer upgradation and promotions.”

Mr CVS Suri, Chief Operating Officer, Sify Technologies, said, “We have seen significant growth in Enterprise services revenues during the quarter, across all five business segments: managed network, data centre, applications, managed voice and systems integration services. Systems integration services, which were recently launched and include security services, also contributed to this growth. On the consumer front, we continue our thrust on new initiatives for online ad revenues such as video ads, and we expect this to bear fruit in the coming quarters. Value added services launched in our cyber cafes are seeing traction, and we expect these to contribute to growth in the next quarter. We have launched new products and promotions in broadband services which should contribute to growing revenues in the following quarters.”

Mr. MP Vijay Kumar, Chief Financial Officer, Sify, said, “We have done well to continue to grow revenues and reduce operating losses by maintaining fiscal discipline and operational excellence. The merger of Sify Communications with Sify Technologies will further improve efficiencies in operations and infrastructure utilization. Cost optimization initiatives undertaken in the last few quarters have started yielding results and we will also see the benefit of these going forward. The resilience of our business model, backed by continuous review and strategic decisions to provide increasing value to our customers, is the key to achieving profitability. We are focused on prudent expansion and will fund it through some capital recovery and sanctioned lines of credit.”
