Reliance to launch its wired internet for corporates

Tarun Upadhyay // Tarun is still just flatly amazed by the power of the Internet, its ability to level the field and help the little guy compete with the biggest organizations.

Those little guy success stories are what drags him to work every morning and he lives a small part of that little guy's dream working for hCentive.

Prior to co-founding hCentive, Tarun served as a co-founder and CTO for GlobalLogic - an outsourcing service provider for large, complex products and software - which grew from 0 to 400 engineers while he was the CTO.

Prior to Globallogic, he was co-founder and CTO of Pinelabs - an India-based provider of Loyalty and Payment solutions using Smart Cards. While Tarun was CTO, Pinelabs grew from a drawing board idea to a suite of successful products running at many fortune 500 companies handling millions of credit card transactions per day.

Tarun holds an M.S in Mathematics and Computer Applications from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India.

Reliance to launch its wired internet for corporates

Newspapers are reporting that the much talked India's first "real" nation-wide internet backbone is finally coming alive. Reliance has dug up the entire country over last two years and now have fibreoptic backbone(with starting speeds of a few Gbps going upto 25Gbps) covering some 60000 km across 600 cities in India. It seems they are finally going to "light up" the first 1000 commercial buildings on this backbone in a few weeks. Once completly lit up, it will be world's largest fibre-optic network by a huge margin and a big boon to internet connectivty in India. Given that, both my new apartment complex and my current office are slated to be on this network (though not in first phase), I am just waiting for the day when I can connect from my home to office VPN at a blazing 25 Gbps peak [and watch lord of the rings dvd streaming from my office laptop on my home tv ;-)].
