The year 2012 will be remembered as a watershed year in the transformation journey of Sify Technologies. This was the time when the IT services industry was taking a turn from the erstwhile on-premise Systems Integration model of delivery to embracing cloud-based models in multiple formats. Until then, Sify Technologies, which started as the first Private Internet Services Provider in India, had undergone one round of transformation to an enterprise network and data center services provider.

Sify Technologies recognized the emergence of the cloud model and the impending digital transformation. The company set up its most significant transformation journey from an enterprise network and data centre services provider to an integrated ICT solutions and services provider.

And, the person mandated with driving that change was veteran digital transformation evangelist Kamal Nath from HCL Technologies. During his 17 years stay at HCL Technologies, Nath has front-ended various transformational engagements with large enterprises, incubated new business services, created innovative business models, and spearheaded new and high growth vertical customer segments.

In the last five years, Sify has consistently grown in revenue and profitability under Nath’s leadership while transforming Sify into the most relevant ICT solutions and services partner for enterprises, public sector units and Government organizations.
