BizSpark plus in India
Microsoft is collaborating with accelerators in India to help start-ups grow their business through the availability of its global program, BizSpark Plus. It is an extension of the BizSpark program that works through select incubators and accelerators to provide added value products and services to high potential start-ups. In India, The Morpheus and Accel, as part of the Global Accelerator Network, are the appointed accelerators. Working with the accelerators, the program will offer each of their start-ups up to US$60,000 of Windows Azure compute and storage over a 24-month period, at no cost.
Shekhar Kirani, Founder Member, Accel, said, "Our simple aim is to help Indian start-ups succeed. BizSpark Plus will allow us the chance to provide the entrepreneurs we work with even more valuable support and services. Access to technologies like Windows Azure and other software and services from Microsoft should provide an impetus to our companies in the race to scale and succeed."
Ludovic Ulrich, WW Program Manager, Microsoft BizSpark, said, "We have been very encouraged by the success of BizSpark in India, especially the overwhelming support we received from our network partners and the community in general. With BizSpark Plus, we are moving to the next exciting stage: working with entrepreneurs on the forefront of the cloud revolution. Windows Azure is a powerful, integrated platform, making it easy for start-ups to get their services up and running quickly with minimal overhead. Combined with the strengths that The Morpheus and Accel bring to the table, the program is designed to accelerate Indian entrepreneurial success."
