Orange Business Services, the enterprise communications arm of France Telecom, has received the license from the Department of Telecommunications, India, to provide national and international long distance telecommunications services across the country. This license will enable Orange Business Services to expand its operations in the country by enabling it to provide long distance network and network-related services to businesses.

The company will be immediately rolling out services through its joint venture company -- Equant Network Services India. This will enable the company to offer services directly to multi-site corporate customers in the Indian as well as the international market. Orange Business Services plans to offer a variety of connectivity and network related services in India including IP VPN, MPLS, network- related managed services, and adaptive network solutions for enterprises.

Orange Business Services' operations in India have seen significant growth in the recent past. Post its acquisition of the managed and enterprise services divisions of GTL last year, the company today directly employs more than 2,000 people in India, serving more than 680 Indian and multinational clients, including Pfizer, Citibank, Standard Chartered, Deloitte and WNS among others. In addition, one of the 3 major service centers, supporting international customers of Orange Business Services is located in India.
