Cybercafes to get the Next-Generation Avatar

CHENNAI, India, July 5, 2010 - Sify Technologies Limited (Nasdaq NM: SIFY), a leader in Enterprise and
Consumer Internet Services in India with global delivery capabilities, today
launched India's first Consumer Cloud Services Platform, branded Sify mylife.
Sify mylife will enable a Digital Lifestyle encompassing Communication,
Education, Travel, Entertainment and Utility, with enhanced cyber security.

Consumers will now be able to access a whole new world of services,
application developers can build and host solutions on Sify mylife and
advertisers can now talk to people who access the net, either at cafes, at
home or on mobile internet devices like smart phones.

    Sify mylife will empower cybercafes with:

    1. Regulatory cyber security measures
    2. Cybercafe management and governance
    3. Digital lifestyle offerings for end consumers
    4. Online Test Centre
    5. Sify Talk: ISD Calling
    6. Online Advertising and Brand engagement platform

With this launch, an end-consumer can connect to Sify mylife from the
next-generation avatar of cybercafes. While Sify e-ports (cybercafes) are
cloud-access-ready, any of the 1.6 Lakh* shared internet access points in
India like cybercafes can also connect to Sify mylife either through a Sify
Broadband connection or a specially designed 'Sify Edge device'. Sify mylife
will soon be accessible through Sify Home Broadband, Sify.com, mobile phones
and the Cloud connection device.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Raju Vegesna, Chairman and Managing Director,
Sify Technologies Ltd, said, "Having completed a phase of restructuring and
consolidation, Sify is now all set to unveil its new Consumer business
strategy. Sify owns and operates some of India's largest and most advanced
Data Centres and is a recognized leader in Enterprise Cloud services. It is
this knowledge and expertise that we are bringing to the common man. Sify
mylife is a platform that will offer multiple services to our end consumers
through our rich eco-system of cybercafes, advertisers and partners."

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Natesh Mani, President - Consumer
Infrastructure Business, Sify Technologies Ltd, said, "Sify has always worked
towards enhancing the online experience for consumers. In India, consumers
aspire for a digital lifestyle. But the low penetration of connected PCs is a
challenge. Moreover, 37% of internet access happens from shared access points
like cybercafes**. As the creator of India's largest branded cybercafe chain
and with a keen eye on evolving consumer needs, we understand that cybercafes
can no longer afford to be mere centres for internet browsing. Sify's
solution is the next-generation avatar of cybercafes. Connecting to Sify
mylife will make a cybercafe a one-stop shop for several lifestyle needs of
its existing and potential consumers and open up multiple revenue streams.
The next generation avatar of cybercafes will offer a host of services that
will soon be extended to the company's Broadband and Portal customers."

At a next-generation cybercafe that is connected to Sify mylife, the
common man can:

    - Get a host of digital lifestyle offerings from one window:
      ticket bookings, mobile recharge, online tests, bill payments,
      ISD calls, gaming, etc.

    - Pay cash for online transactions - no fear of online
      payments or credit card requirements

    - Work in a secure online environment - in line with statutory
      regulations

*1.6 Lakh cybercafes -

**37% of internet access -
