This Delhi based startup is empowering businesses to run faster, smarter and better by offering next-gen cloud based communication solutions

The Genesis

For any business to prosper it is imperative to have an effective and efficient communication channel. However, In India the accessibility of cloud based omni-channel communication is available only to large enterprises. This changed in the year 2019 when four telecom veterans laid the early foundations of CloudConnect.

They envisioned to assist small & medium businesses by enhancing their communication capabilities. They went a step ahead and cloudified communication services for these businesses and provided them a cloud based mobile-first platform with a remarkable feature set that is flexible and user-friendly.

The Turning Point

When the world was going through the pandemic and almost every business was forced to adapt to remote working, the business for CloudConnect flourished. Accessibility is one of the most notable characteristics of cloud-based technologies. This would be a crucial feature that enables people to work from anywhere they choose without restrictions given the current mixed work culture. A business may choose to scale up their services or go down to accommodate seasonal demand and industry variances, which is another standout feature.
