Sun Microsystems extends ‘startups programme’

Special Correspondent

The companies will be helped for six months to one year

BANGALORE: Sun Microsystems India has extended its startups essentials programme to help early stage companies with technology back-up, combined with the needed hardware and software at discounted prices. “A similar programme has been on in the U.S. for ten months now with around 700 companies signed in and this has now come to India and China where we see potential large enterprises which require help in their first years when capital may be a concern,” K. P. Unnikrishnan, Director-Marketing, told reporters here on Friday. Sun has 5.5 million users of its Java platform worldwide and sees the Indian market growing fastest in the region, in terms of developers and Internet users.

Typically, the start-up will be helped for six months to one year and they can sign up again based on their performance.

The selection criteria will closely examine the technology they intend to use, across most verticals.
