Who Orange Business is

Orange Business is the enterprise division of the Orange Group, with 30,000 employees across 65 countries and more than 30,000 B-to-B customers. As of the end of 2025, Orange connects 340 million customers (including MasOrange) across 26 countries and generated 40.4 billion euros in revenues. Orange is listed on the Euronext Paris (ORA).

The existing relationship

The collaboration builds on the relationship between Anant Raj and Orange Business, which began in 2024 with a partnership to deliver managed cloud services in India, and now expands that relationship towards global cloud services and digital infrastructure.

What the company says it expects

The arrangement is expected to enhance the global reach and marketability of the group's data centre and cloud services, facilitate onboarding of overseas customers, and leverage Orange Business's technology expertise in cloud architecture, AI infrastructure and high-performance computing, as well as support the development and expansion of the group's data centre and cloud services. The update also notes that the Government of Haryana has introduced a dedicated Data Centre Policy 2026 offering incentives to support data centre infrastructure in the state, and that India offers a competitive cost environment with relatively lower Capex and Opex.
