Vlad Shmunis, CEO and Founder of RingCentral, said: “India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and a key strategic priority for us.
“The Unified License from the Department of Telecommunications will enable us to provide our unified team messaging, video meetings, and cloud phone system to global organisations in India”
“We are extremely excited about this opportunity and grateful to the Indian Department of Telecommunications for the trust they have placed in us by granting us this licence.”
RingCentral will now build out domestic computing infrastructure in India, in conjunction with the Department of Telecommunications.
Blair Pleasant, President and Principal Analyst of COMMfusion, said: “This is a big win for RingCentral and gives them a major competitive advantage.
